There's a new PS5-compatible SSD that (1) includes a low-profile heatsink and (2) is the least expensive PS5-compatible 1TB SSD out there right now. It's about $100 cheaper than the popular WD SN850 and Seagate Firecuda options. It's in stock and available for immediate shipping on Amazon. In other deal news, the Calvin and Hobbes Hardcover Box Set is (amazingly) still discounted, the 65" LG C1 OLED 4K TV now includes 6 months of HBO Max, a 30-pound rubber coated dumbbell set has been marked down to only $35, and some great Oculus VR games are on sale today. These deals and more below.

Lowest Price Ever for a PS5-Compatible SSD with Heatsink: XPG GAMMIX S70 Blade 1TB M.2 SSD

This is the latest SSD that's specifically designed for your PS5 storage upgrade. It also happens to be the lowest priced PS5-compatible 1TB SSD with heatsink available. In fact, it's even less expensive than most compatible SSDs without heatsink. The S70 Blade boasts transfer rates up to 7,400 MB/s and a PCIe Gen4 interface. It includes a PS5-compatible low-profile aluminum heatsink, but for whatever reason you'll have to put it on the SSD itself (which isn't hard, it's just adhesive).

65" LG CX 4K OLED Smart TV for $1399.99

Refurbished with 90-day Woot (Amazon) Warranty

Note that this is a refurbished model with a 90-day Woot warranty. Woot is owned and operated by Amazon. The CX-series is LG's 2020 OLED TV. The OLED panel blows away any IPS, VA, or TN monitor in black levels, color rendition, response time, and HDR. The new 2021 C1-series model has very negligible improvements over the CX-series and in terms of image quality, they're practically identical. The CX OLED TV is a perfect match for the PS5 console because it has HDMI 2.1 inputs which can output 4K at 120Hz.

2021 LG C1 65" 4K OLED TV Price Drop

Now with 6 Months of Free HBO Max

Today the newest LG 65" 4K OLED TV has dropped to the lowest price we've ever seen. The LG C1 OLED TV improves upon last year's highly-rated CX model with an upgraded A9 Gen 4 processor that delivers slightly better image quality, better 4K scaling, and improved audio handling as well as a new webOS smart TV redesign. The C1 OLED TV also looks good when paired to a gaming PC with an RTX 30 series video card because it has HDMI 2.1 inputs that support 4K at 120Hz and G-SYNC. It's easily one of the best (if not the best) TVs on the market right now. For a limited time, you also get 6 free months of HBO Max, so you can catch up on blockbuster movies like Godzilla vs Kong, Space Jam: A New Legacy, The Suicide Squad, and more, as well as upcoming movies like Dune and The Matrix Resurrections.

The Complete Calvin and Hobbes Hardcover Box Set

Calvin and Hobbes is such a timeless cartoon classic and sometimes we see the paperback set go on sale but almost never the hardcover set. Today, that's changed. There's an instant $33 off discount that will automatically apply during checkout. That makes the hardcover edition cost less than the paperback edition. It's already temporarily out of stock, but you can still order it to lock in the price. Hurry though, it will sell out soon.

Rubber Encased Hex Dumbbells on Sale

If you've been stockpiling exercise equipment to work out at home, you might have realized that the cost of weights adds up. You could be paying upwards of $2-$4 per pound of weights if you've been buying stuff at regular retail price. Deals like these aren't flashy, but they're very welcome. The dumbbells listed above cost just over $1 per pound. They're rubber encased to protect your floor, and the chrome finished ergo handles are textured for a better grip.

New Oculus Quest 2 VR Headset with More Storage, Same Price, 50% Off Vader Immortal Bundle

The Oculus Quest 2 is the best value when it comes to VR gaming. It's hundreds of dollars cheaper than its competitors, it has phenomenal tracking, it doesn't need to be tethered to a PC, and it boasts a huge library of games (even Half Life: Alyx is easily playable on the Quest 2). Now, Oculus has re-released its Oculus Quest 2 VR headset with double the storage (128GB vs 64GB) for the exact same price. There's even less of a reason now to pick something else. I purchased an Oculus Rift when it first launched, played the heck out of it, and now own a Quest 2. In my opinion, and with price factored in, it's far and away the best VR headset to get into Beat Saber.

$20 Off the New Apple TV 4K 32GB

The newest Apple TV 4K media streaming device is $20 off at Amazon today. The new Apple TV 4K features an A12 Bionic processor with 4K and HDR support. One of the biggest updates of the latest Apple TV was the much improved remote. The overall build quality of the remote is better than before, but the biggest upgrades are a 5-way clickpad, mute button, and dedicated power button that works for your TV, receiver, and Apple TV.

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart for PS5

Ratchet & Clank is one of the best looking games on the PS5 console. Of course, it's not just about looks; Rift Apart is a fantastic game overall, with an engaging story, hilarious characters, and super fun platforming gameplay. The cheapest way to get this game right now is to buy a pre-owned copy at Gamefly. If you're worried about the quality of Gamefly pre-owned games, fret not. We've purchased several pre-owned games from them and they've always come in mint condition, with original covers and scratch-free discs. They're definitely a big step up from the gamble you'd be making at Gamestop.

Alienware Aurora R12 RTX 3060 PC for $1299 (Upgrade to the RTX 3070 for $1599.99)

Select "RTX 3070" upgrade during the customization step

This is the best price right now for an Alienware RTX 30 series equipped gaming PC. The RTX 3060 is no slouch; its performance is superior to the RTX 2060 SUPER and almost matches the RTX 2070 SUPER in some games. It will easily handle all of your games at up to 1440p, and even 4K if your game isn't too demanding. It's paired with the latest 11th generation Intel Core i7 processor and 16GB of RAM. There's only a 256GB SSD installed, but it's a very simple task to add in your own second SSD or hard drive, and you won't void your warranty.

There's an option to upgrade to the RTX 3070 for an additional $300. The RTX 3070 is a substantial step up from the RTX 3060. It's a bit more powerful that even the previous generation's champ, the RTX 2080 SUPER.

Alienware Aurora R12 RTX 3080 PC for $2199.99

Do you need a rig that can run Battlefield 2042 in 4K? If you've been on the lookout for the extremely elusive RTX 3080 video card for your (up to 4K) gaming needs, then check out this ready-to-go prebuilt Alienware Aurora gaming PC from Dell. This PC comes equipped with an 11th gen Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB of memory, 512GB SSD, and a separate 1TB hard drive for storage. The RTX 3080 is way more powerful than the previous generation's best video card, the RTX 2080 Ti, and is the best recommended video card for 4K gaming. The RTX 3080 is the card I'm currently using for the BF2042 open beta, and I can run the game at 4K resolution and over 60fps consistently at medium to high settings.

HP OMEN RTX 3080 Gaming PC for $1795.49

Select "RTX 3080" and "800W Power Supply" as upgrades

Here's another RTX 3080 config that's worth a look. Although its overall specs aren't as good as the Alienware config listed above, you simply won't find an RTX 3080 equipped pre-built PC for a cheaper price. In fact, the RTX 3080 by itself probably goes for a similar price on eBay. It's paired with the latest AMD Ryzen 5 5600X processor (which can be upgraded). The 8GB of RAM and 256GB SSD is lean, but you can easily pick out and swap in your own components.

Razer Blade 15" RTX 2070 SUPER Gaming Laptop

If you want the best looking gaming laptop on the market, then look no further. Razer has discounted its Razer Blade advanced model with RTX 2070 SUPER. It's an excellentlaptop for the price, featuring an anodized CNC unibody aluminum frame, a gorgeous 15" 300Hz 100% sRGB factory calibrated display, per-key RGB keyboard lighting, an Intel Core i7 8-core processor, and a generous helping of RAM and SSD storage.

Spoilers follow for the entire Halloween series except for Halloween Kills. (You can also read our Halloween Kills review when you're done here.)

On the night of October 31, 1978, Michael Myers, AKA The Shape, killed three people… and then a whole bunch of other people that same night. Or maybe it was just those first three? One thing’s for sure, his main target, teenager Laurie Strode, was his sister. Well, unless she isn’t. But what we do know is that Laurie went on to have a daughter… No, scratch that, she had a son. No, wait, a daughter!

John Carpenter’s 1978 horror classic Halloween was a critically acclaimed breakout hit and created a long-running franchise in the process. But one thing it didn’t create was an easy to follow timeline. Even as the latest installment, Halloween Kills, hits theaters, there are sure to be plenty of people who are trying to figure out how the new movie fits in with the other sequels, not to mention how to watch the entire Halloween series, and in what order!

Let's break it down…

How to Watch the Halloween Movies in Order

There's good news and there's bad news here. The good news is that if you want to watch the Halloween movies in order, you have a few ways you can do that. The bad news is there are several different timelines in the Halloween world at this point, so there's really no right way to watch them all! (Maybe that's good news too, actually.)

You see, at this point, the Halloween series isn’t telling one story. It’s become several stories, usually taking the Michael Myers and Laurie Strode characters and spinning them off into what can best be described as multiple timelines or alternate realities. We'll dig into the details and watch order of each of those timelines below, but you can use this index if you'd just like to jump directly to a specific one:

• Halloween Timeline 1
• Halloween Timeline 2
• Halloween Timeline 3
• Halloween Timeline 4
• Halloween Timeline 5
• How to Watch Halloween Kills on Streaming

Halloween Timeline 1

Watch Order: Halloween (1978), Halloween II (1981), Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988), Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers (1989), Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers (1995)

When the initial timeline of a movie series still requires you to skip an early sequel, you know things are a bit complicated. And such is the case with Halloween, where you can follow a somewhat serialized story across the first six movies… if you just remove the third one.

The original Halloween depicts Michael Myers as a young boy killing his sister, Judith, in 1963, and then leaps to the 21-year-old Michael breaking out of Smith’s Grove Sanitarium in 1978. Killing a truck driver along the way, Michael makes it back to his hometown of Haddonfield, Illinois on Halloween, where he stalks and kills three teenagers, though he fails to eliminate his main target, high school student Laurie Strode. He is eventually shot repeatedly by his psychiatrist-turned-enemy, Dr. Loomis (Donald Pleasance), before escaping.

Halloween II then picks up immediately after the first film — immediately as in it’s set the same night! — with Michael upping the ante and murdering many more people as he continues to pursue Laurie after she’s brought to the local hospital. The audience, and Laurie herself, eventually learns Laurie is actually Michael’s second sister, before Michael and Loomis both apparently die in a massive explosion.

Or so we thought until Halloween 4, which takes place a decade after the first two films, and reveals both Loomis and Michael survived the explosion, with Michael awakening from a long coma to once more return to Haddonfield. We learn Laurie has died, but not before having a daughter, Jamie Lloyd (Danielle Harris). Michael is now intent on stalking his young niece, as he once fixated on his sister, with Loomis still determined to stop him. After killing his way through Haddonfield, Michael is tracked down by the police and shot multiple times (again), falling down into a mine shaft — but not before possibly passing his evil onto little Jamie, who stabs her own foster mother in the same manner her uncle once stabbed Judith Myers.

A year later, in Halloween 5, Michael returns, once more going after Jamie, who we learn has serious trauma from what happened, but isn’t quite as evil as it appeared. This time, after another notable body count, Michael is actually arrested by the police (who kindly let him keep his mask on in his cell), only to be broken out by a mysterious Man in Black who shares the same, previously unrevealed, wrist tattoo as Michael.

This is all explained, sort of, in Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers, as things get really weird in a movie involving a Druid cult that apparently always controlled Michael, Jamie’s baby, Michael actually killing Jamie (now played by J. C. Brandy) after, very disturbingly, possibly fathering her child, and… Paul Rudd in one of his first roles! It’s also the final appearance for the late, great Donald Pleasance as Dr. Loomis, as he once more faces off with Michael. Whether you watch the theatrical cut or the Producer’s Cut, with its notable differences, Curse ends on some form of cliffhanger — though it’s one that would never be resolved regardless, as the series was destined for one of its big resets soon after.

Halloween Timeline 2

Watch Order: Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982)

Halloween III is, of course, the infamous, and initially hated, “One without Michael Myers,” though its reputation has deservedly improved in recent years, as people have come to appreciate that this is one fun, crazy movie. While Michael has nothing to do with this tale of Halloween masks that melt kids’ heads and turn them into bugs when a Stonehenge-powered TV signal hits them — or something? — one could argue this could be happening in another corner of a Michael Myers-populated universe… were it not for the fact that the original Halloween is a movie within the movie, playing on TV during the course of Season of the Witch. Not to mention that what happens at the end of the movie hints at an apocalyptic-enough event that it would distract people even from Michael Myers himself if he did exist.

That said, the Halloween Kills trailers have shown us that the Silver Shamrock masks from III do exist in the Kills timeline. Hmm…

Halloween Timeline 3

Watch Order: Halloween (1978), Halloween II (1981), Halloween: H20 (1998), Halloween: Resurrection (2002)

The 20th anniversary of Halloween in 1998 brought about the big occasion of Jamie Lee Curtis returning to the series as Laurie Strode for the oddly titled “No, it’s not about water” Halloween: H20. But since Laurie was killed offscreen in the fourth movie, how did the filmmakers account for that? By saying the fourth, fifth and sixth films never happened and just using the first two films to continue on from. It was a controversial move, in part because Jamie Lloyd — despite many feeling she was ultimately mishandled in later movies — had become a popular character in her own right and this film was removing her from existence. Here, Laurie instead has a son, John (Josh Hartnett), in a film whose cast includes the fascinating likes of Michelle Williams, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and LL Cool J.

Some would argue maybe you could make H20 fit into Jamie’s story, given it does involve Laurie living under a different name, Keri Tate, having faked her own death after Halloween II and moving to California. But not only would you have to then accept Laurie having a daughter she let think her mom was dead, but in H20, it’s clear Michael hasn’t been seen in the past 20 years, making his three subsequent murder sprees in Halloween 4-6 not work at all. No, this has to be a different timeline, as Michael finally makes his presence known again, 20 years after that hospital explosion, returning to take on his sister in a big would-be final battle. After Michael kills several people along the way, Laurie ultimately faces her fears and defeats her brother once and for all, cutting his head off with an axe and ending her long nightmare…

…Until 2002’s Halloween: Resurrection reveals that Michael managed to put a random paramedic in his outfit and mask, and that’s who Laurie actually killed. Jamie Lee Curtis makes a cameo at the start of Resurrection as Laurie, now institutionalized herself, who gives her brother a farewell kiss as he finally kills her (Nooo!!!!) before he returns to Haddonfield to terrorize a group of kids silly enough to participate in an online reality show filming in his childhood home. He then faces his greatest indignity as he is hurt in a fight by a reality show director… played by Busta Rhymes… who knows martial arts. Yep. This version of Michael was seemingly killed at the end of Halloween: Resurrection, only to live up to the title and awaken in the morgue once more, though it would be the last time we’d see him.

Halloween Timeline 4

Watch Order: Halloween (2007), Halloween II (2009)

In 2007, Halloween got a true remake/reboot/do-over, as Rob Zombie wrote and directed his own interpretation of the original concept. Starting over with Michael as a boy, this film has no continuity connections to any of the other films, leaning heavily into the Michael and Laurie as siblings concept. Zombie includes more of Michael’s home life — reinterpreted as far more chaotic than the glimpses in the earlier version — and what happened to his baby sister after he killed their older sister, Judith, along with several other people in this version of his first childhood kill. After continuing to follow Michael as a child in the aftermath of those murders, where we meet Dr. Loomis (here played by Malcolm McDowell), the second half of the film is a more traditional remake of the original. Once more, Michael stalks a teenage Laurie Strode (Scout Taylor-Compton) and her friends, and Michael is shot at the end, though some details are changed along the way.

Zombie would make a sequel to his film, Halloween II (yes, there are two movies with that title), which would include some nods to the earlier Halloween II with initial scenes set at a hospital right after Michael attempted to kill Laurie. After that, it mostly told its own story, set two years later, that included the unusual sight of Michael Myers — who is much more of a hulking presence in Zombie’s version than the original, slimmer Michael — dressed as a wandering vagrant. Zombie’s sequel culminated in Michael killing Loomis before Laurie apparently kills Michael. Laurie, psychologically traumatized, then ends up institutionalized herself, as it seems some things are destined to repeat in the Myers/Strode multiverse… Though in the Director’s Cut of Rob Zombie’s Halloween II, Laurie ends up being shot and killed by police after it appears to them as though she has become homicidal herself.

And yes, between the Producer’s Cut of Curse of Michael Myers and the Director’s Cut of Zombie’s Halloween II, arguably you could say two additional timelines exist beyond the five basic ones listed here. But let’s just call those Timeline 1B and Timeline 4B!

Halloween Timeline 5

Watch Order: Halloween (1978), Halloween (2018), Halloween Kills (2021)

And that brings us to the latest parallel universe that was established with 2018’s Halloween, which rather than wiping the slate clean completely again, as Rob Zombie did, wiped the slate mostly clean. The 2018 film was a sequel to 1978’s Halloween, but only that film — the first of the proper sequels to ignore the events of 1981’s Halloween II, not only removing Michael’s expanded body count beyond Laurie’s three friends, but also, most notably, removing the revelation that Laurie and Michael are sister and brother.

Once again, as with H20, Jamie Lee Curtis portrayed Laurie later in life for a big anniversary installment when the 2018 film hit on the series' 40th anniversary. But in this timeline, Laurie stayed in Haddonfield and was obsessed with the thought that Michael — who was locked up for the past 40 years — would eventually break out of confinement again. This Laurie has a daughter named Karen (Judy Greer), not Jamie, and Karen now has her own teenage daughter, Allyson (Andi Matichak), making Laurie a grandmother. Of course, in the 2018 Halloween, Michael did break out and wreak havoc once again. He seemingly was defeated at the end of the film by Laurie, Karen, and Allyson, who trapped him in Laurie's burning basement… but come on now! You know that's not how Michael does things.

What will happen next in Michael and Laurie’s ever-evolving battle when they encounter each other in Halloween Kills? And how will it all end in the already announced sequel, and apparent conclusion to this timeline, Halloween Ends? Time will tell…

How to Watch Halloween Kills on Streaming

Meanwhile, you may also be wondering how exactly you can watch the new movie, Halloween Kills. First of all, Halloween Kills is not on HBO Max. People have been asking that, but sorry guys – wrong studio! Halloween is a Universal Pictures movie, and as such will be avilable to stream beginning October 15 on Peacock, the streaming arm of NBCUniversal.

(And yes, you can also see Halloween Kills in the theater as well.)

October 14, 2021: This story has been updated with the latest information about the Halloween franchise.

Guilty Party premieres Thursday, Oct. 14 on Paramount+.

Guilty Party, starring Kate Beckinsale as a disgraced reporter looking to reclaim her past fame by trying to prove an imprisoned woman is innocent of murder, is a total tedious mess of a mystery series in its premiere. It never settles on a tone, refuses to give us characters to care about, and is structured too poorly to rope us in.

Guilty Party episodes hover at around a half hour, which can be a blessing if a series keeps things tight, moving, and meaningful. But Guilty Party's pilot delivers only a third of the story you need in an introductory episode, and without the show being a binge-able product yet, this is what it rests on, and relies on, to hook us. And it's a flop. Beckinsale's Beth Baker isn't woeful enough to empathize with nor is she quirky or funny enough to captivate us.

At times, it seems like Beth was plucked from Legally Blonde, as a hidden brain who people underestimate, but then that's disrupted when she shows no acumen, influence, or intuition in any areas of her life. On top of that, she's not even charismatically inept in a way that makes her relatable or likeable.

In this first episode, "The Last Real Journalist Working in Denver," we watch as Beth receives a local award for "Excellence in Investigative Journalism" only to have the prize immediately rescinded and her job at the Denver Chronicle taken away because she lied about… well, something. And that's almost all we learn about her in the pilot. That's all we know about Beth as we leave the premiere episode. We never hear what the big lie was or why she did it or any explanation coming from her side. That will all come further down the line in the season, most likely, but that's too late. You can't present a shell of a character and expect viewers to care.

On top of this, nothing Beth does in this first chapter is smart. She's fantastically obtuse about most things. Exiled to work in the realm of pop-culture reporting, Beth is daft enough to think her new editor at Pop Bite will want a story about human trafficking or homelessness, as if she enters work every single day completely unaware of who employs her.

And then somehow the show has the gall to villainize Pop Bite for simply being what it is and not Beth for not being able to read a single room she walks into. We're supposed to buy her as a sleuth, but there's not one single situation in this first episode she handles with any notion of a human who's experienced other humans.

It's entirely possible that Guilty Party improves over the course of the season, as the actual mystery elements don't even get touched on here in the first episode, but that just leaves us with a severely flat and uninteresting pilot. It's not until the very end that Beth meets Jules Latimer's falsely incarcerated Toni (where Beth, naturally, makes an ass of herself) and even then no deal is struck.

Obviously, there's a redemption arc here for Beth as she (hopefully) learns to stop being such a bizarrely contemptuous fibber, but this first episode is just so thin that there's little-to-no reason to continue forward.

Tom Holland says he's looking at Spider-Man: No Way Home as the "end of a franchise."

The Spider-Man actor spoke with EW, where he said if his run of solo Spider-Man films were to continue, they would look a lot different than the three he's starred in so far.

"I think if we were lucky enough to dive into these characters again, you'd be seeing a very different version. It would no longer be the Homecoming trilogy," Holland said. "We would give it some time and try to build something different and tonally change the films. Whether that happens or not, I don't know. But we were definitely treating [No Way Home] like it was coming to an end, and it felt like it."

The Homecoming trilogy includes Spider-Man: Homecoming, Spider-Man: Far From Home, and the upcoming No Way Home. Besides those films, Holland made his debut as Peter Parker in Captain America: Civil War, and he also made appearances in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame.

Zendaya and Jacob Batalon, who play MJ and Peter's best friend Ned, have appeared in all three films of the Homecoming trilogy. Holland said it was an emotional day on set when filming for No Way Home wrapped.

"We've been making these films for five years now," Holland said. "We've had such an amazing relationship, the three of us. We've been with each other every step of the way. We've done every single film, every single press tour. So this one scene, [we didn't know] if this would be the last time [we were all working together.] [It] was heartbreaking but also really exciting because we're all moving into the next chapter of our careers. So sharing that moment with them was maybe the best day I've ever had on set. I don't think I've cried like that ever."

No Way Home is definitely ambitious enough to mark the end of a trilogy. Spider-Man 2's Doc Ock will appear in the movie, and Doctor Strange will also appear alongside Peter Parker. And, there's (spoilery) evidence that suggests another Marvel character could appear in the film. Spider-Man: No Way Home is set to hit theaters on December 17.

No live-action Spider-Man actor has ever gotten more than three solo films. Director Sam Raimi famously planned a Spider-Man 4 starring Tobey Maguire, but Raimi and Sony parted wats before the movie entered production. Andrew Garfield starred in two Spider-Man movies before the franchise rebooted once again with Tom Holland. For more, check out our ranking of every Spider-Man movie.
