The Halloween series is a mixed bag, and what doesn't work in most of the sequels is simple: Michael Myers is a fantastic one-off monster who has been spread across too many movies, with a core premise that's so straightforward, by design, that it's difficult to expand upon. That's not to say that none of the sequels have any merit: Halloween H20 has bland slasher elements, but it's an interesting look into the life of an adult Laurie Strode who's dealing with the trauma of surviving the original film and having a brother who's a serial killer. Halloween Ends also gets a lot of hate, even though it's a lot of fun (sans the last 10 minutes), and tried mixing things up by shifting the focus to a different character behind the mask (which, admittedly, people probably would've been more forgiving about if they had marketed it that way). As a franchise, the Halloween series isn't known for taking a lot of risks, and that's probably because the first time they did, it backfired critically and underperformed at the box office, in a film that has since built up a cult following: Halloween III: Season of the Witch.
