It’s amazing the number of tropes that pop up in horror movies repeatedly, and twins are a staple of the horror genre. When they’re the bad guys, the filmmakers tend to focus on the creepier side of twins. But when they’re the good guys, twins are used to convey a deep bond between characters, which sometimes borders on the more supernatural side of things.

Halloween (1978) is one of my favourite horror movies. And considering the series started in 1978, it’s impressive that we’re still getting sequels as recently as 2022. We’ve had timeline rewrites, deaths reversed, and Laurie Strode brought back into the series as many times as Michael himself — anything to keep the legacy of one of our favourite horror slashers alive. There’s no denying the many sequels vary in quality to some degree.
