Halloween Kills

Not even a raging fire can stop Michael Myers from returning in "Halloween Kills" (RYAN GREEN/UNIVERSAL PICTURES)

I was telling my wife, who can’t watch horror movies, about “Halloween Kills,” and she asked, “So, what’s Michael Myers’ deal? Why does he kill?” The answer is … complicated because “Halloween” has the most confusing continuities of any horror franchise.

“Halloween Kills” is the 12th movie in the series, which includes three separate continuities that spin off from John Carpenter’s original 1978 film, one standalone without the killer Michael Myers and a remake which has its own sequel.
