Alive? Trickier.<BR/><BR/>Then again, I'm with you in liking 4-6, so screw it. I can confirm the filmmakers intended H20 to supplant anything that happened in 3-6. However, I hated H20, and a simple fan wank or two can allow <BR/>them all to exist in one continuum. <BR/><BR/>Besides, Rob Zombie's "Halloween" made like John Byrne in "Man of Steel," so nothing is absolute. I took that better than most, as without Donald Pleasance, it'll never be "my" Halloween anyway.

And then in the letters page, they make reference to their next series, which tells the story of Laurie Strode in the period between 2 and H20, so I guess they are including 1-2, H20, and perhaps Resurrection, although the less said about that, the better.<BR/><BR/>Personally I would prefer the inclusion of 4-6, as Halloween 4 is a personal favorite and thus I am cool with 5 and 6. H20 is alright, but I'm not crazy about it.<BR/><BR/>Season Of The Witch is a total side story. I mean, Halloween, "the classic by John Carpenter," is a fictional film being shown on TV in SOTW, so that says to me "side story." The Silver Shamrock cult, could it be the Cult of Thorn? Yeah, but there's nothing concrete in there, mostly because SOTW is so vague about the cult in the first place. So I leave it as a side story and that's it.

Also, some would argue Halloween 3 as part of that "official" cannon, thanks to references in 6.Diabolu Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685199809207954223noreply@blogger.com
