There are not many film franchises where I hate the majority of the films but love the franchise as a whole, but the Halloween franchise, created by the legendary John Carpenter, is one of those franchises. Out of all of the series' films, I've only liked Halloween (1978), Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982), …
