HFB: Round 1: Halloween (6) VS Puppet Master (29)

[Wang Chung]

Halloween (6)

Halloween is an American horror franchise that consists of ten slasher films, novels, and comic books. The franchise focuses on the fictional character of Michael Myers who was committed to a sanitarium as a child for the murder of his older sister, Judith Myers. Fifteen years later, he escapes to stalk and kill the people of Haddonfield, Illinois while being chased by his former psychiatrist Dr. Sam Loomis. Michael's killings occur on the holiday of Halloween, on which all of the films primarily take place. The films collectively grossed over $366 million at the box-office worldwide.

The original Halloween, released in 1978, was written by John Carpenter and Debra Hill, and directed by Carpenter. The sequels have had various writers and directors attached to them. Michael Myers is the antagonist in all of the films except Halloween III: Season of the Witch, the story of which has no direct connection to any other Halloween film in the series. Carpenter, who had a hand in writing the first sequel, has not had any direct involvement with the rest of the films. The film series is ranked fourth at the United States box office—in adjusted 2008 dollars—when compared to other American horror franchises. The first Halloween film is credited with beginning a long line of slasher films inspired by Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho. The franchise began when the first novel appeared less than a year after the release of the first film, and seven sequels have since followed. In 2007, the franchise was rebooted with a remake of Halloween. A a direct sequel to the 2007 film was released two years later.

Puppet Master (29)

Puppet Master is an American horror film franchise which focuses on a group of anthropomorphic puppets animated by an Egyptian spell, each equipped with their own unique and dangerous device (although not in all installments of the series are the puppets portrayed as threatening) and are represented as heroes, anti-heroes, and antagonists. Produced by Full Moon Features, the series was established in 1989 with the eponymous first installment, which has since been followed by nine sequels, including an unofficial crossover with the characters of Demonic Toys, two comic book mini-series and numerous other collector's items.

The only good Puppet Master is the third one. Meanwhile, I love pretty much every Halloween movie except the Zombie ones, so I'm voting for it.

I've only actually seen the first Puppet Master, and didn't care for it that much, but there really isn't a Halloween I don't like, so easy choice.

Check out the third one sometime. It's actually really well done and kills the original.

I will. It's a series I've been meaning to go through in it's entirely, but for whatever reason never got around to it
