We made it to the 2018 Halloween remake by Blumhouse Productions. This is a direct sequel to John Carpenter's Halloween (1978) and the first of the latest Halloween films set to release.
There's not a lot of research in this one as we have kind of beat Halloween to death, but it is voted the best Halloween movie since the original by Iz and Caity.
