Are y'all going to react to the Taylor Swift movie since Denise is a swiftie
You need to checkout Halloween 2, it's a great sequel. It continues from the same night.
Skip Halloween 3
It's not canon to the story of Michael
Freaky
Next Reaction to Gonjiam: haunted asylum (2018) please please please please
Yes, this is my favorite horror franchise and I wanted to see you react, you both made my day 🙌🏼
🎉yessss 🙌🏽 🎃
Same I was saying this a day ago they need to react to Halloween
All they did was laugh at it. I never knew Halloween was a comedy.
The reason he stalks Laurie and the little boy at school was simply because she dropped the key off at his house and he was with her. Just pure randomness. Also the parents standing and doing nothing was a creative decision by Carpenter for dramatic affect.
That is true. I think it's called a segue, and it's from stage plays. Also in real life I would think parents would stand frozen for a few seconds wondering WTF is going on.
Laurie is also his sister, not mentioned until 2 I think. Also, the parents just standing by, the stupidity of the police is a social commentary on authority figures. In Scream the parents are never around even though there's a serial killer, Hambrey is killed being an idiot and Dewey 'oozes with inexperience' (Gales words not mine)😕
@@d.w.strangeman4963 There was no social commentary on the police or the parents standing there.
@@punkem733 I see your point but I was talking about the 'Slasher' genre in general. Authority figures are basically useless, a paradigm used throughout. Maybe social commentary isn't an entirely accurate phrase but they are generally morality tales about growing up and how the decisions we make can have an effect on our lives and often show a disconnection between youth and adults. Just an opinion. If we all had the same the world would be a boring place.
@@d.w.strangeman4963 I agree that came later on in the 80's. Even the kids that have sex, drink, and do drugs getting killed while the final girl survives because she didn't do any of that was a coincidence. Both Carpenter and debra hill said that.
My all time favorite horror movie. I hope you do ALL the movies . Everyone of them is different and unique in their own way. Different timelines too. Morning made !!! Thank you fan pops!!
I think part of the reason they don't notice getting followed by Michael when they're driving is the fact that Annie & Laurie are high. That's why they were driving around town for so long until it got dark, even though it's a small town and where they're babysitting is not far from their houses, which isn't far from Michael's house. They were just smoking & driving until it was time to for them to babysit, completely missing the random car following behind them...
What a iconic movie you both are scared a lot love your reaction
Absolutely my favorite
Please do the sequel as well
can’t wait for u guys react to the rest of the franchise. definitely my favorite horror franchise love the reactions!
One of my favorite skssher films! I saw this with my sister, doing ROTC training in Flagstaff Az, a week before my ,10th birthday, October 2000, my family and I left on a Friday, came back on Sunday. We were staying in a hotel, and my sister and i watched this on Cinemax and it scared the hell out of me! Loved it ever since.
Back then life was so good
So glad you guys are doing the franchise! It's my favorite of all time, but when you guys get to HALLOWEEN 6: The Curse of Michael Myers PLEASE watch the Theatrical Cut first, which is the version that was released to theaters. There is an alternate version of it called the 'Producer's Cut' but it's basically the version that was shown to test audiences. It has its moments but give the Theatrical Cut a watch first, it's alot more fun
THIS IS HOW YOU SHOULD WATCH:
Original Timeline:
Halloween
Halloween II
Halloween H20
Halloween Resurrection
(This is Jamie Lee and Michael time line)
-
Second time line (Cult)
Halloween
Halloween II
Halloween 4
Halloween 5
Halloween 6
-
New timeline!
Halloween
Halloween 2018
Halloween Kills
Halloween Ends
wasn't the 4-6 timeline the first?
I know the Halloween movies inside out, but I'm now officially comitted to follow your view on this amazing franchise.
So far, so good, I enjoy your reactions!
Looking forward for Halloween II
You see, I have watched about 70 of these reactions and you guys are the only ones that got everything, bang on .😊
And welcome to another movie-franchise! Another journey with you guys, i'm so excited!
Faster pace does not equal more scary. It's about tone. This set the standard...... to hear people say that an absolute classic was "good for what it was" is degrading.
I love everyone of your video it’s always funny to see how Denise reacts to the jumpscares lol!
Glad you guys are gonna watch this iconic and long franchise 😂. When I was a kid I had a crush on Michael Myers 😅. It's true that the pace is slower than what we're used to with horrors and pretty corny, but keep in mind Halloween was the first to portray the superhuman/possibly supernatural solo serial killer with an iconic face. Before Jason, Freddy, Ghostface, etc., there was Michael Myers.
Corny? LOL It's considered one of the greatest films not just horror ever made.
@@punkem733 So you're just gonna disregard everything else I said? 😂 I said it's iconic and the first to do what it did. Because it is the first to do a lot of movie tropes, it seems corny to us who grew up with so many movies that copied it. I know the movie is great, doesn't mean it isn't corny now.
@@kal3998 Never heard it called corny, just found that funny. The tropes in this movie with the kids who do drugs and drink, and have sex dying was a coincidence that other slashers took to heart. Carpenter, and Debra Hill have said they never intended that message.
This is the movie that horror finally clicked with me and I have been a huge fan ever since. Have fun with Spooky season!
Just so you guys know Halloween even without H3 are different timelines with Michael.
H1, H2, H4, H5, H6 are one timeline also known as the Thorn timeline(thorn trilogy with 4, 5 and 6)
Then you have H1,H2, H20, H Resurrection as another timeline(which ignores the Thorn trilogy)
Then there's H1, Halloween 2018, Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends timeline. David Gordon Green trilogy.
There's also the Zombie Halloween verse which is a different universe interpretation all together as Michael isn't supernatural at all in those 2 movies.
If you enjoyed this? You’ll love the original classic ‘BLACK CHRISTMAS’ - just leaving this here as a suggestion! Not a demand. Much love from one of your Patreon SuperFans! 💛
Agreed, loved the killers POV
My fav slasher movie 🖤 🎄
You can damn me to a junior college for saying it but I think Black Christmas is even better than Halloween.
There is a psychological answer to the reason why Michael doesn't speak
It is a trauma response that that part of his brain chooses to disociate itself
So as a response to what happened with his sister, that part of his brain shut itself off
Michael can speak
He just chooses not too
Or, being Evil Incarnate, he simply has nothing to say to anyone because they mean Nothing to him.
Both work, though. haha
You're giving human traits to something that is probably not human.
Jamie Lee Curtis was 19 years old when they filmed this, and 19 years old (going on 20, she turned 20 in November of 1978) when the movie was released. Great video! Also, always was a fan of Halloween.
This is my favorite Slasher franchise and this is the peak of low budget films.
Seeing modern people watch this and especially ones who have seen other horror films of the modern era is big lesson. That people watch this without the understanding this set the standard that became the tropes of today. Also because it was the first masked slasher it didn’t rely on constant action/kills instead tension and suspense. Also you learn who appreciates a film with excellent atmosphere or not.
oh heck yeah! I've been waiting for this. you are 2 great reactors.
So happy you're doing the Halloween franchise!! This Halloween is quite slow for what we've been used to for over the past 20 some years, but it's a classic and my absolute favorite slasher movie franchise.
It's only slow for the simple minded who need constant stimulation in order to feel relevant.
Hey!!!! Just remember that when watching this franchise, please remember there are 5 timelines. Each timeline, besides Anthology, follows Michael Myers.
Sequel Timeline: Halloween (1978), Halloween II (1981), Halloween 4 (1988), Halloween 5 (1989), Halloween 6 (1995)
+ this timeline is the most notable one with Laurie & her daughter
H20 Timeline: Halloween (1978), Halloween II (1981), Halloween: 20 Years Later (1998), Halloween: Resurrection (2002)
+ this timeline ignores every movie after Halloween II in 1981
Reboot Timeline: Rob Zombie's Halloween (2007), Halloween II (2009)
+ this timeline is Rob's take on the horror classic
H40 Timeline: Halloween (1978), Halloween (2018), Halloween Kills (2021), Halloween Ends (2022)
+ this timeline ignores every movie after the original 1978
Anthology Timeline: Halloween III: Season Of The Witch (1982)
+ this timeline is their try at making new Halloween stories kinda like American Horror Story, but wasn't received well apart of the franchise. As a standalone, it's good, but everyone wanted Michael back.
Love the Halloween movies! Halloween 2 picks up where this one leaves off. 🎃
Good reaction. Just so you know: Michael focused on Laurie and Tommy, because they were the first 2 people he encountered, upon returning to Haddonfield...AND, because they both came to his childhood home, and Tommy resembled his 6-year-old self, while Laurie (aged 17) strongly reminded him of his older Sister, Judith. There's significance in the little song that Laurie sang (written by John Carpenter, specifically for the character of Laurie Strode), while she walked away from The Myers House, down the street...it was a foreshadowing of the last 2 minutes of the film...the movie essentially is all about Laurie and Michael being a doorway apart at the beginning, and being in hand-to-hand combat to the death at the very end...as Laurie said (not fully knowing WHOM she was actually addressing) in The Wallace House, "You'll be sorry..." By that point, when Laurie removed his unique Halloween mask, he truly was...Laurie Strode, unlike Judith, wasn't the easy final kill he thought she'd be...
Happy Halloween.
The thing about Michael Myers is that he doesn’t have a reason to kill. He just does it. That’s why he’s so spooky. We want to understand why serial killers do what they do, but he doesn’t any reason.
While I don't hate the Rob Zombie movies like some do, I really think his biggest mistake was giving Michael a reason for killing, at least the first few kills (and some of the later ones since the strip joint, he goes into was exploiting his mom having been a stripper there). He's dangerous sure, but he isn't anywhere near as scary as Carpenter's Michael.
@@jacquelinecallejas1390Making Michael too human was a huge sin on Zombie's part. Michael was a normal kid originally. His parents were the average suburban types.
YES YOU GUYS ARE FINALLY REACTING TO THE HOLLOWEEN FRANSHISE LETS GOOOO PLESAE DO ALL🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Living in many suburbs in 1978 was like living in Mayberry. I lived in one of those neighborhoods. A suburb outside of New Haven CT. People didn’t lock their doors during the day, we left our keys in our cars, us kids disappeared for hours, we started babysitting at 12 and were left alone with young kids for hours. Etc. Hard to explain to those who didn’t live it.
laurakali: Yep. My parents and grandparents grew up like that and made sure we kids got to live in the same kind of environment. It was awesome.
And yes, explaining it to people who have never had that experience just isn't possible
I thought however that Carpenter was trying to say something in that while Haddonfield seemed idyllic is some ways, there was something unpleasant hiding underneath because, if people there were as nice and neighborly as they try to pretend to be, they wouldn't have IGNORED Laurie when she's screaming and banging on their doors. Not saying it applies to your situation at all but sometimes the same kind of environment where "everybody knows everybody" and you are shielded from strangers, is also the kind of environment where people can get away with stuff like wife beating and incest because NOBODY is going to "stick thier nose" in somebody else's business.
@@jacquelinecallejas1390 This is something a Lot of Halloween fans miss even though it's stated throughout the entire movie.
The neighbors aren't ignoring Laurie Strode in cold blood. They're ignoring her because Halloween is hell for half the population of Haddonfield every Halloween with the other half playing pranks, vandalizing, annoying people, and being destructive.
From the beginning of 1978 when we're introduced to Laurie Strode, there's constant talk about this:
> Annie tells Laurie and Linda that her boyfriend Paul got in trouble for vandalism and gets grounded
> We are introduced to Sheriff Brackett in front of the hardware store which he believes to be kids playing pranks and preparing for a long Halloween night by stealing the masks, rope, and knives
> Loomis's trip to the cemetery ends with the caretaker believing kids took Judith Myers's headstone as a joke
> When the three girls are walking home from School, they think Myers is a classmate playing tricks on them, wearing them mask while driving and hiding behind the shrubs
> Sheriff Brackett tells Loomis he's better off chasing teens and kids messing around and causing damage than trying to hunt down Myers
> When in the Wallace's laundry room, Annie thinks Paul is playing a trick on her
> Linda thinks Steve is playing a trick on her when it's actually Myers impersonating her boyfriend
Laurie thinks Tommy is taking Richie, Lonnie, and the third kid's teasing to heart every time he warns her about seeing The Boogeyman
> And even Laurie Strode thinks her friends are pranking her at the end when she goes back to the Wallace's to look for Annie and Linda
Even in Halloween II, one of the neighbors tells Loomis that he's been "trick or treated to death tonight."
Haddonfield's constant background of being consumed with that particular diversion is something missing with fanse
Talk about A Freaking Classic, Literary One of My favorite slashers/ Horror franchise. and This Movie And Franchise Had me Terrified So Much, I was so Scared To sleep at night Cause I thought Micheal will randomly come out of nowhere and Get Me 😳
Also Prepare For Some Crazy Stuff To Happen in This franchise 😅 Also the second one explains why Laurie's a target btw
Now you gotta check out Halloween II (1981). It continues on the same night, right after this one. This is one of the greatest films of all time, it's in the congressional library's film registry board. It's a list of films deemed "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant" that are recommended for preservation by those holding the best elements for that film, be it motion picture studios, the Library of Congress and other archives, or filmmakers. Around 850-860 films on that list, out of millions made.
Carpenter wrote Myers to be the actual boogeyman. He said he's a human, but he has a supernatural edge. He was only gonna do this one film, and the ending was supposed to scare people as it implies that you can't kill the boogeyman, with them showing all the places he's been in the movie, and his breathing getting heavier. It suggests that he can be everywhere, and nowhere. Another fun fact is that the movie cost $325,000, half of it went to the camera and lenses.
The Loomis speech in the Myers house about how he has the darkest eyes, the devil's eyes was true. John Carpenter said his class like 10-12 years before the movie went to a field trip to a mental hospital in Kentucky. He dais he met a boy around 11 or 12 who had black, cold yes with no emotion, or soul behind them. He said as soon as he looked the boy in his eyes he got goosebumps and it was maybe the most scared he has ever been, also just like Myers he never talked. He used that kid as a basis for Myers. The credits always confused people, myers age 23 that guy was ONLY myers when his mask got taken off, they just wanted his face shot. Age 6 is right, but under that you will see the shape (that is what they call him in every movie credit) is Nick Castle. That guy played him 99.9% of the time.
The first film I ever saw was John Carpenter’s Halloween at just three years old! It’s been my favorite film ever since 🖤🥹 So glad you’re reacting to it, and I hope you eventually make it through the rest of the franchise! Also, all the tropes you noticed throughout (every time you said, “he’s gonna be gone”) were originated with this film! I think you guys will LOVE Halloween H20, the seventh film, as it came out the year after Scream and it’s very similar in tone. It was even partly written by Kevin Williamson!
timelines to follow:
1. H 1,2,4,5,6
2. H 1,2,H20, Resurrection
3. H 1, 2018, Kills, Ends
4. Rob Zombie 1&2
5. H3
Ive never heard anyone call Halloween a little slow, its one of the only movies that go straight into it 😂
Halloween is my favorite horror movies. Love y’all’s reactions to this and your other ones. If there is anyway y’all can react to 30 days of night. Another great movie. Love you guys. You’re awesome.
Great reaction! It is really interesting to see your joint detailed reaction to the film Robocop 1987. This is a very cool classic 👍🔥🦾
Great reaction you guys!! Keep it up!!!
I really hope no one gets mad at me when I say that it’s really just the last 3 Halloween movies u should really see and not the old sequels that came out after this one. The last 3 directed by David Gordon Greene takes place 30 years after the original film.
Tony was Michael just for the shot with his mask off. Majority of the movie it was Nick Castle. This was meant to be a one and done movie. That’s why it was left with an ominous feeling of him still being out there. Halloween was supposed to be an anthology series with a new story every year. But once they made 3 and Michael Myers wasn’t in it people got upset so they brought him back.
Watching this movie at night while eating "Candy Corn" would be a good time 2 me ✊. Candy Corn is 1 of those Candies that Fits well into Halloween 2 me..just based on the Design of Candy Corn itself. But with that being said, Nice reaction yall ✊
This is the OG not only of the Halloween franchise ... when you say "Oh that reminds me of .... " this is where that movie took it from. And ... Have fun watching the franchise. The history is ... interesting LOL. And THANK YOU for ignoring the Rob Zombie Halloween movies ... because ... just ... ugh lol
Annie: Speed kills!
Michael: That's not the only thing that kills.
The way he slams on brakes will always be funny!
Yayyy my fave slasher!!! Can’t wait for the whole franchise if you will do it 🥳🥳
The opening scene with the parents frozen is called a Tableau Shot. This is used in stage and film production as a freeze moment in the story telling.
[Edited to add a comment] In the opening scene when Myers is unmasked by his parents, they all just stand there is because Carpenter is using a stage method of freezing the scene to show the importance of the set-up instead of showing the parents reacting to something they're not sure has happened yet.
It seems to be effective since everyone remarks on it. haha.
Fun reaction to a great classic horror/slasher movie.
Also, I think Loomis didn't notice the station wagon parked down the street because it wasn't there.
Remember? Myers parked in front of Tommy's house, which was across from Lindsey's house where Laurie and Annie were babysitting. Loomis had to walk a couple blocks to get to the street where the houses were.
I really think Myers knew Loomis was there and moved the car where Loomis could see it to mess with him. Myers doesn't just stalk and kill. He also has a habit of tormenting his targets (and Loomis)
I think the idea was that Michael went after Laurie because she was a babysitter, which is what his sister Judith was supposed to be doing, and take him trick or treating, but instead she reneged to be with her boyfriend. He thought Laurie would do the same with Tommy like his sister did with him, but he was mistaken, because unlike Laurie's friends who were having sex and drinking instead of babysitting, she was actually doing it, which, philosophically, made her pure and the strongest of them all.
The shot of his parents just standing looking at him after he killed his sister at the beginning of the movie is supposed to be a freeze framed affect…that’s why there not moving or running into the house etc….
Fun fact: the original title for this movie was going to be named “the babysitter stalker” at the time. But changed it to Halloween.
The patents were kind of frozen in place because they were staring at Michael, who stood stome faced and wasn't reacting to anything. They were trying to decipher his behavior.
Back back in 1978 somebody told my grandmother that this was a good thriller and that she should watch it in the theater so she took me and a group of my friends, I was 8 years old and my friends were anywhere from 8 to 10 to the theater to see this and the music scared the hell out of me and it still bothers me to this day.
Fun fact, the people who did the credits clearly cant do math. Michael was 6 when he killed his sister, and the events of the movie occur 15 years later, making Michael Myers age 21.
Believe me on 1978 this movie scared the crap out of 17 year old girls like me. Michael was the 1st unstoppable killer. Before Michel you could actually kill them and they stayed dead. I STILL check the backseat of my car before getting in because of this movie.
You should definitely try a few movies to watch in the dark (or at least low lighting), “Darkness falls”, “As Above,So Below”, “lights Out”.
If you watch Halloween 2 you will find out why Michael has an obsession with Laurie
Michael never would have targeted Laurie if she hadn't invaded his personal space
Michael would have just stayed home where he wanted to be If she had never gone to his house first
Wait until you watch the Rob zombie version, it explains your question(s) about Laurie Strode's connection to Michael
7:13 - in this movie, Laurie was the target because the key under the mat. Michael doesn't need a reason. He just is
Newbies always say why do the parents just stand there after removing the clown mask. I have never thought of it before.
Great Reaction up next Halloween 2 (1981)
There is a reason for why he follows Laurie that's explained in H2. It is given an even deeper explanation in H6 The Curse of Michael Myers. However, in H7 H20, only N1 and H2 matter. That is until H9 Halloween (2018), at which time H2 is no longer canonical.
he doesnt die because the whole point is that hes a manifestation of an urban myth
I've seen every single one as well as seeing Halloween Ends in theaters
The guy who played Michael is nick castle, Tony Moran was only shown for when his mask was taken off.
It's the 'lack' of explanation, that makes this such a classic. This is where the modern versions, get it wrong. Explaining everything, and overdoing the gore and cheap effects.
Halloween is the horror movie, that launched a thousands ships. Friday the 13th. Nightmare on Elm Street. Scream. All derivative of this masterpiece.
45 years later, and Halloween is still peerless.
This is a fun franchise. Halloween 4 is my favorite.
Michael was played by multiple people in this film, Nick Castle played him for 95% of the film but when he was punching through things he's played by set designer Tommy Lee Wallace and in the shot where he's standing in the shadows across the street from Laurie he's played by Debra Hill the films co producer and Co writer then at end when he's unmasked he's played by Tony Moran (well-known DoucheBag)
The doll on the mantel was Raggedy Ann.
I think Michael did move the car at some point in the night because I don't think that's where he orginally parked...
you guys should watch halloween 2007 before finishing te franchise it gives more back story on michael and laurie !!!
In this particular film The Shape never has a clear motivation as to his pursuit of Laurie Strode. She was selected by him at random. John Carpenter and Debra Hill intended for the character to be this way, as it was part of his original design as an antagonist.
Great classic! Do you intend to see all the films in the franchise or just the recent ones that are direct sequels to the events of the first one?
They are not watching the Rob zombie ones and the third one
Did you guy know that in bride of chucky in the opening scene evidence deposetory scene you can see Michael myers in that scene
Laurie is a target because Michael wants to relive the stabbing of his sister; thats why he chose Halloween to escape. He had to wait for the right opportunity to do it. The institution he was in probably experienced a power outage during the thunderstorm, so that was the Halloween his opportunity came. Laurie went to his house, and shes a teenage girl, the first girl he sees after his escape. He sees the books, knows shes a high school student, so follows her to the school.
Halloween and The Thing want to leave you with more questions than answers. The not knowing is scary to some but frustrating to others. I fall in the former.
The ending wasn't setting up a sequel it was simply meant to feel you with dread that Michael could be anywhere and perhaps everywhere at the same time.
This was a very low budget film that became a big hit but John Carpenter didn't want sequels as to him there wasn't much left to tell. Halloween was just meant to be a small spooky film.
I do recommend Halloween 3 because it's so out there but in my opinion very entertaining.
There's 10 Halloween movies before it gets to the recent trilogy. In total, there's 13 Halloween movies
It’s Michael Myers time
Oh I can’t wait for you to react to Halloween 4
As someone who grew up on 'Halloween,' I've always found the 'Scream' series and its need to constantly make fun of itself and the whole genre at least as corny as you find this one for being old and slower-paced. Those movies are fun but I can't say any of them has ever really scared me. Similarly, I thought the extra humor added into the three more recent 'Halloween' films was jarring and undercut the horror.
I hope you guys eventually decide that you will watch Halloween 3 at some point. It's one of my favorites in the franchise. I'm not really a fan of Halloween h2o but I'm sure your reaction will still be good. 🙂
I like it h20
That was a great movie by the way I think you should the exorcist that’s a really good movie and the new one comes in October you should maybe watch it it’s really good.
That doll is the famous Raggedy Ann

Someone goofed in the credits , he was not 23 but 21
Loomis said 6 year old boy. Add 15 and he's 21
Part 2, Loomis says Michael is 21
Also, "The Shape" aka Myers was played by Nick Castle
*It’s a little slow* That’s what makes it great. Kids today are used to everything happening all at once.
Others already commented about the different timelines. And maybe someone said this too, but let me add: from the thorn timeline the sixth movie has two very different versions. The theatrical and the producers cut. I prefer the later
*So happy you are finally watching the Halloween franchise one of the best Horror franchises*
like the kid said..."you cant kill the boogeyman"
3:08 wow, Judith Myers' boyfriend was a minuteman apparently. I hope he was able to at least provide her with a decent length x girth ride if it was such a short ride time.
While there are 8 movies not every movie is connected it’s kinda a choose your own adventure series after you watch this movie
You have to understand that this movie is what put horror movies back on the map and also the movie that inspired the Friday the 13th franchise as well. All the things that are corny and stupid to us now back then were considerd scary also watch the second one it continues where this left off and answers a lot of unexplianed questions. what you need to know about this franchise is that they are not all in a stright line and sadly the reasons why he does things and such changes because of that so honostly I am not sure what to think or what timeline was the original one anymore. 8 movies? ok so that means this franchise has 11 movies? wow ok then. I only saw the first one and then skipped to Halloween H20 and then saw Ressurection and then the new ones after that. Never seen any of the others and not sure they are worth it but will watch it with you guys when you react to it. What you also need to know in all the movies there was only one rule Michael myers can not die and because of that Jamie stopped doing the movies until she agreed to come back to H20 and only a few minutes in Ressurection. She officialy came back to the new ones because of two things everyone was reunited cause eventually at some point in the franchise they fired John Carpinter and those that worked with him and the second reason was they kept a promise made to her but I won't say what that is until you get to Halloween ends and see it all the way through.
One of the most disturbing things about Michael Myers is that we don’t get an explanation for his motives. Evil lurks out in the world and it can strike at any time with no reason. It can even take hold in a seemingly normal little boy. Often when we are victims of violence, we don’t know the reason or explanation for it. We just know something horrible is happening and no explanation can make it make sense anyway. But in the midst of horror, we don’t get an explanation. And evil needs no explanation. Laurie was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
The sequels retconned this film by giving Michael a motive but it really doesn’t do much for the series. It’s a letdown and it locks the story down by having to have all subsequent sequels deal with this plot point. Sometimes it’s better to leave mysteries and questions. I think modern audiences can’t deal with ambiguities. Everything needs to fit together in a “cinematic universe” and every last detail must be explained in torturous prequels and sequels. That’s why the original Halloween is still the best.
He is sitting on her porch behind her. You have to look hard but he's there 😮
So there’s different timelines
1,2,4,5,6,6 Producers Cut “Gotta watch The Producers cut and regular part 6”
Then 1,2,7 “H20”,8
Rob Zombies Halloween H2 Rob Zombies Halloween 2
Halloween 78,2018, Kills, Ends
That’s it for now
Dunno if you watch any of them hose wives shows but Lindsay Lindsay Wallace is played by Kyle Richards. Who’s on that show who’s also the aunt of Paris Hilton it’s cool cus she comes back in the new trilogy with JLC
Also random but Jamie said when she made the first one ( even tho it was before we know all the scary movie tropes/ rules) she said wait a minute Imma stab him once drop the 🔪 then get attacked once more and then drop the 🔪 again !? No F’ing way would she drop the 🔪!! Then John Carpenter says you have to, because that’s what the character does not what Jamie would do 😂
This was supposed to only be one movie ( studios Ganna studio ) but JC said the ending dr. Loomis was staring off and supposed to convey. I can’t believe this happened or I knew this would happen so it’s left up to us to figure out which he did. I think it was I knew this would happen also the breathing at the end, showing each spot that he was during the night was supposed to signify him being everywhere. This evil, the blank, pale face that could be anybody and breathing is showing he’s still there the evil is still there. ! Now this is my favorite horror franchise of all time but I love how they wanted to make this a one and done and I thought it would’ve been great just 1 even tho I’m so happy we have all the others
I recommend looking up all the timelines for the franchise otherwise you will probably be very confused 😭
you guys should watch jennifers body,the purge, saw , happy death day
