Carpenter admitted years later that the reason he added the brother-sister element was that it was very late at night, he'd had a six-pack of beers and couldn't think of anything else.
And it worked in my opinion because I like the storyline never had a problem with it 2018 took that away and I hated it
@@jdogjohnson9038 The sibling subplot was a lazy attempt to explain Michael’s nature. It lead to a convoluted mythos surrounding the character that took away from what made him so fascinating in the original film. Halloween (2018) did the series a favor by retconning that terrible addition. Halloween is my favorite franchise and I love each of them for what they are, but I’m eternally grateful for the new timeline. The original films are always there to watch but there was simply nowhere else to take that story.
@@donnybuoy they kind of stopped being good after 4 imo and the rest are so so I can watch them but they are messes from 5 on
@@donnybuoy I personally liked the whole narrative of them being related and Michael coming after his sister relentlessly without reason. In fact, I find that it’s much more scarier and terrifying that someone with superhuman abilities in your bloodline, whether it be a sibling or an uncle, is hellbent on coming after you, no matter what. I also find that the whole sibling aspect is one of the elements that make the Halloween franchise stand out from the others. I can completely understand why they retconned it, though. And personally, I don’t have a problem with it, even though I do prefer the sibling narrative. I hated the Thorn plot, though.
it’s a good twist though actually?
The kid killed in the car explosion is mentioned as being Ben Tramer, who Laurie mentions she had a crush on in the first film.
Really?!
@@louispacetime1576 Yep, poor guy. Couldn't get the girl, couldn't stay alive...
@@thedragon12 Yep. Justice for Ben!
@@mattmccomas1 Hes alive in the new one
Yeah! Justice for Ben!
I just remember the running gag of Ben Tramer in all the Halloween films' reviews by the Cinema Snob!
y’all should watch 1976’s Carrie
Great movie. Pretty sad though.
@@a-top7090 it’s truly heartbreaking. one of the all time greats
I'm kind of stunned they haven't gotten to it already.
What a masterpiece that film is
One of my favourites
I was stuck in the hospital during Halloween one year watching scary movies, and this movie scared the piss out of me.
It's just a movie. 😁
@@mikerodgers7620 I did Black Friday the morning after seeing THE MIST on Thanksgiving Day. The whole city was heavily fogged in. Yeah, I had to talk myself out of my car to walk up to the doors. So it happens.
@@Theomite I see.
My 12 /13 year old niece and nephew both laughed at this movie for a straight 45 minutes. Then laughed at Nightmare on elm street movie. Actually laughed at these movies
@@nottinghamboy9409 you can't help but to do that sometimes. 😁
One of favourite line from Sam Loomis is in this movie
Neighbour : Is this a joke? I've been trick-or-treated to death tonight.
Sam Loomis : You don't know what death is!
*HALLOWEEN THEME KICKS IN*
I was always bothered by Lauries hair changing color between movies. I mean, when did she go blonde??
@@jariah92005 Jamie-Lee wore a wig in Halloween 2 because by that point she had cut her hair short. You're not the only one to spot the discrepancies in the hair between the movies
I always thought he said "Is this trick or treat or death tonight?"
My mom would always laugh out loud whenever she heard that line lmao
Same here
Do any security guards in horror movies do their jobs?
Yes, LLCoolRonnie in H2O.
Not in real life either lol
Let’s not forget Loretta Devine in Urban Legend!
Right? Reese is amazing!
@@misscryptoria Ronnie does not do his job right lmao.
@@spaceinvader8791 He tries to, but apparently no one can turn down Josh Hartnet. Aside from that he does his job just fine.
"Theres no story, just isolated scenes where hes just stalking people and killing them". Welcome to the early 80s slasher boom.
😂😂 remember Friday the 13th-3D? Smh, omg those “3D” shots!!🤣🤣🤣
They don't get it all, they think that every movie should be a Stanley Kubrick movie.
@@peterengelen2794 No, they just know when a movie is subpar or downright bad. Halloween II is one of them. It’s simply boring. A horror film doesn’t have to be on the level of The Shining to be good, but it does have to have at least a semblance of a plot and characters to root for. H2 has none of those. Halloween is my favorite franchise but even I can recognize that this film is just meh.
@@donnybuoy 'Robocop' is downright bad? 'Suspiria' is downright bad? And btw, you're saying ''Halloween is my favorite franchise but even I can recognize that this film is just meh.'' So which ones of the other Halloween movies are cool, besides the first three movies?
@@donnybuoy Being that this was their first watch, I can understand where they're coming from. However, if you remove the critic optics for a sec, it's really just supposed to be a kinda silly, albeit fun, slasher flick sequel - which it does succeed in. It's not too pretentious for its own good, it has a tense 3rd act, has a killer score, an ominous setting, & you can even argue Donald Pleasence is at his best in this one. It ain't better than the original, but it does work as a worthy, fun successor (maybe minus the brother/sister revelation 😅).
Fun Fact: Jamie Lee Curtis had cut her hair short at this point so had to wear a very bad wig for her scenes. And you can tell....
Think she must've cut it short for Road Games (1981), she liked it and pretty much kept it short ever since.
Myself and most people I've heard talk about it didn't even realize it with several watches until they found out about it. It's one of those things you don't un-notice though.
"YOU LET HIM OUT!"
Loomis: "No, he let himself out".
John Carpenter didn't want to do this, he famously wrote it over the course of a night with a bottle of JDs.
I thought it was a 6 pack of beer?
Like a boss lol
@@BrokenGodEnt My mistake, it was beer, but either way he needed alcohol to get him through the night.
Surprised that it turned out as well as it did at all under those circumstances.
@@Theomite Did it turn out well? I've never seen it but it looks pretty terrible from the clips shown here and not a patch on the original.
"I heard that before sista" best line of the review.
I absolutely love this movie. Parts 1 and 2 are like one long movie for me. I grew up watching both and loving them equally. Classic movies!
I’m a simple man as soon as I see a cinema rules notification pop up, I watch.
You guys bantering and bickering back and forth just makes my day
You guys watched Scream a while back, you both should finish the rest of the franchise!
And keep in mind, much like Nightmare on Elm St, you gotta slog through #2 to get to the better #3 and beyond.
@@porgyt7177 WTF are you talking about? 2 is damn good, 3 is trash. 4. bounces back to being on the same level as 2, thank god. Oh, and Nightmare 2 is great.
@@mattmccomas1 nah. 3 is better than 2.
@@Horrorlover1978 LOL
Halloween beats scream by far
The story just follows on directly from 'Halloween'. MM is still out to kill 'Laurie' and anyone else who may just get in his frame.
I like this film. A decent sequel.
Halloween 3 Season Of The Witch is nothing to do with MM. Just watch it and view as a film in it's own merit. It is a very good film.
3 was weird to me. Didn’t’t have anything to do with witches, just mind control.
It was not a very good film.
y’all should watch Sleepaway Camp it’s a pretty good movie.
Not u meg
YES!
My guilty pleasure, second one was fun too, but the first remains with me!
Lol it is not a good movie but it's a camp (pun intended) classic!
Meet me at the waterfront after the social
The actor that played Michael in this film, Dick Warlock, had to wear lifts on his shoes since he was rather short. At that point why not just hire someone thats naturally tall? LOL
Still did a good job though
Because no care was taken in choosing the right guy or even to get the character right. Debra Hill complained years later that Warlock was too slow. Yet, she was on the set every day and didn't say anything.
@@jdogjohnson9038 Agreed. He's my favorite portrayal of Michael next to Nick Castle in the original.
Warlock is also the shadow on the wall when the dog walks in to the room in "The Thing".
especially when the mask didn't even fit the same so michael looks way less creepy.
The hospital security guard always makes me think of the hospital security guard in Terminator 2, like their intro scenes could be interchangeable.
That "uh oh" always gets me lol
Halloween II was supposed to be the end the of the Michael Myers story. They tried something completely different with Halloween III which failed miserably. So in the 4th one the brought Michael Meyers back. I always like watching Halloween 1 and 2 as one movie back to back btw.
Agree, I really didn’t care for any of the others past the first two.
This may be an unpopular opinion but I love Halloween 3, I love it's weird sci fi elements, and I loved the anthology idea it tried to forward, the biggest crime the movie commits is that it's called Halloween, if it were just called Season Of The Witch I feel it would've faired better.
@@japython I agree, it’s not a bad movie by any means and has garnered a cult following over the years, but it doesn’t have anything to do with the first two. I think that’s because they wanted to maximize profits by using the “Halloween” franchise banner.
@@japython If they let him make the movie without forcing the "Halloween" title on it, it would've been received much better
Halloween III was supposed to kick off an anthology series, where every film had a different story and plot but there were already two Halloween films with Michael so it ended up just making everyone confused on where Michael went
Underrated horror sequel. I really love it. 👍
I can't wait when you guys react to H3: Season of the Witch.
In my mind there’s only Halloween 1&2. The perfect slasher/horror watch.
Well, 3 had nothing to do with Michael Myers. Just a weird psychopath intending to mind control people.
In my mind there's just the 1978 original, Halloween 2 isn't that great and it kinda ruins the magic of the original. Myers and Laurie shouldn't be related.
i enjoy 1,2,4, 5, h20 and 2018.
Wasn't this supposed to be the actual ending of the series but they kept pushing more out? because i'm sure i heard somewhere that MM was supposed to be dead dead at the end of this movie. Either way the og and this are the only real Halloween movies in my mind
@@Gu3ssWhatsN3XT That’s exactly what happened. John Carpenter had nothing to do with those. It was all the studio and that’s why it gets so convoluted in the middle.
You should 100% watch The Descent. Also Rec 1 and 2, Insidious, Train To Busan, Sleepaway Camp, Terrifier and The Original Night of the living dead
Good suggestions. Sleepaway Camp would be fun to see their reaction to that particular scene ha
@@NonConformistNinjas I have a feeling they would be shocked 😂
Yes to The Descent! I love that movie so much
@@explosean9 Tense, claustrophobic and frightening. What more could you want
Watching *Night of the Living Dead* is hugely important to understand modern horror movies.
Lmao none of the 80s slasher series are about the story. It's all about the deaths. The more creative, shocking, technically impressive, the better. Personally, I love these movies just to shut off my critical mind and just enjoy the rollercoaster of emotions. Donald Pleasence (Dr. Loomis) is my favorite part of the Halloween series. He's been in so many insane John Carpenter movies, you could probably do a whole playlist of them.
He did well as the president in Escape From New York.
I Had a ham and pineapple pizza for lunch today 😁
I recommend you to watch when a stranger calls (1979).
I would like to see you react some more Carpenter films: Christine, The Fog, They Live, In the Mouth of Madness. And some Cronenberg too; esp. Videodrome
YES to in the mouth of madness, one of my 90s favourites 👍
agree with Christine (based on Stephen King's book), The Fog and They Live
Videodrome was crazy. Watching that woman being tortured live in tv, or the gun merging into his stomach.
The Fog for sure. Such a scary film. The others would be fun too.
Cronenberg! A name synonymous with terror.
As you could tell the slasher genre that the original Halloween created changed so much between the first Halloween and Part 2, it was all about kill counts, sex, and nudity instead of suspense and good story telling but i still love Halloween 2
GUYS!!!! You NEED to watch “Train to Busan”!!!!!!!!
Great reaction guys i think you underscored this film as i find it a very good follow up to Carpenters original but each to there own.
Your videos are helping to distract me from a rough time as my dad recently passed away 2 weeks ago, i appreciate your opinions on movies & you make for a great double act.
This Halloween 2 is the best of the sequels IMO. I pretty much ignore all the rest of the films and I wasn't really a big fan of the 2018 film at all. I just hope Halloween Kills is better.
@@alucard624 completely agree my friend, I thought the alternative sequel was underwhelming this is by far the best sequel.
Heartfelt condolences, Timelord.
My Dad passed right before Christmas so I understand your comment deeply. These guys have given me some of my only smiles and best laughs recently. I love their channel.
Also this movie scarred me for life as a kid. It’s strangely comforting watching it now.
@@aweaver6895 yeah it a difficult time for us both losing fathers we both going through the grief period, so sorry hear your loss.
I remember hiring this from local video store then one day it missing they'd only had it down as part of the video nasty cull in 80s all because of the burning pumpkin skull apparently it was deemed a video nasty, you couldn't get it for a while.
Thankfully common sense resumed.
Sean & Tom are hilarious there reactions are hilarious.
Halloween continuity is really weird. There is Halloween 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6. Halloween 3 is it's own separate thing. Then you have Halloween 1, 2, 7 (H2O), and 8 (Resurrection.) The two Rob Zombie Halloweens is it's own thing. Then you have Halloween 1, Halloween 2018, and the upcoming Halloween Kills. It's all a mess.
its
@@kuhpunkt No
@@TroyBoyleAtheistAdvocate No?
@@kuhpunkt No. He got one right, and one wrong. But correcting people's grammar on posts is some weak shit.
@@TroyBoyleAtheistAdvocate How so?
Jamie Lee Curtis was 21 or 22 when this movie was filmed, not 35.
they’re disrespectful lmao
In the 70's and 80's, young adults looked much older than they do know. So you get these 30 year olds watching older movies and assuming that the actors were 5-10 years older than they actually were.
The wig is so bad it does make her look older
She looks 30 in the first film and i think its because of the way they dress her
Keep these coming guys. Great content, I'm really enjoying watching.
Love Halloween 2 👍🏻🎃🎃
I saw this movie as a kid and to this day, I'm still terrified to stay the night at a hospital.
Been waiting for the reaction.
I saw this in the theatre when I was 13, I couldn’t sleep for a year after 😱
In the UK in the early 80's these films where all rated 'X' for adults only .. no kids would ever be admitted. I remember seeing the posters outside the cinemas and often wondered wht it was like to see a scary film 😀😀
@@whisperinstorytellerASMR I wonder why that was...maybe because of the controversy of The Exorcist, I remember seeing demonstrations in the UK on tv because of the satanic content, I think it also got an X rating there?
@@sixbladeknife44 The Exorcist was a hot potato in UK...very controversial .. and almost banned by the BBFC but was eventually released as an 'X'... .the 'X' rating was routine for any horror film until the mid eighties when the '18' certificate replaced it ... these days modern horror films often get a '15' rating the cinema and an '18' for home video.
Love this channel & love watching you two discover new flicks! Thank you, for the fun content guys!
If you like empty hospital halls and horror you should see 'VISITING HOURS' from 1982 ;)
You should watch the Dead series by George Romero (Night of the living dead, which you should have no trouble with copyright for that film since it is in the public domain, than Dawn Of The Dead and finally Day of The Dead. I know there are more in the dead series but I consider those the golden 3)
I don't think Day of the Dead is essential. Just watch Night and Dawn, then Return to finish.
ALL THE LOVE just from the Goosebumps reference ALONE lol!!! Been waiting for this one since your initial Halloween reaction!!! :D :D
Your reactions are so binge-worthy!! Keep it up, guys x
For me, this is where the franchise should have ended or at least Halloween 4. Even Carpenter wanted to end it with this sequel but you can't keep Myers down. Halloween 2018 was just ok. Halloween 2 will always be the true sequel. 2018 was just H20 mixed with Halloween's greatest hits. I like the idea that it takes place on the same night and the hospital setting was a good choice.
The new one is pretty good 👍 maybe give it a go
Yeah 2018 is highly overrated
I don’t think that carpenter even wanted to do this one....contractual obligation
@@gacjpc7157 I'm glad it was made though
@@gacjpc7157 Yeah and he made sure that Myers was dead this time but that didn't stop it.
The third is my favorite, besides first.
Great reaction as always!
You guys are the best reaction channel on CZcams. Funny, smart, great chemistry. Love your videos!
Great reaction guys! I had to laugh at 10.09! I said the exact same thing when I first saw Halloween II! Why would you have a jacuzzi that could reach boiling point!? 🤣
"How does she know he's there?"
Object of Obessession
You guys are very handsome and I love your guys movie review have a blessed day . Keeper coming!!! Excellent job guys
"the aragorn trick. The fellowship of the ring trick" Perfect, thank you.😂
I still believe the Ben Tramer death is the most over the top death in a horror movie ever. He's just a dude walking and gets ran over and blown up they dont even acknowledge him after this
Thanks, Tom! Thanks, Shaun! 🎃 I strongly endorse the other recommendation in the comments that ya'll should watch CARRIE (1976)... when ya'll are in the mood for some iconic horror... based on a Stephen King tale, directed by master-of-the-macabre Brian De Palma.
Great reaction, looking forward to the Halloween 2018 one. Halloween 4 is also a great film to watch.
I think 5 is better.
3:15, "he's right there!" Lol!
So glad I found you guys's channel. Love listening to your reactions to these old school horror films, even if I disagree sometimes y'all are very enjoyable to listen to
Jimmy lives. It's shown in tv alternate ending when he's together with Laurie in ambulance. Jamie Lloyd (last name after father) from Halloween 4, 5 and 6 is their daughter.
I thought Jamie was Laurie's niece?
@@d3l3tes00n No, Jamie is Laurie's daughter in the 4,5 and 6 continuity. The Halloween series unfortunately has several different timelines.
@@alucard624 Ohhh wait, she'd be his niece. My bad.
@@d3l3tes00n No, she's her daughter. Btw, the Alice scene is replacement for scene with Tommy and Lindsey that was deteled.
@@Shilohpreston He’s right Jamie is Michael’s niece in the 4, 5, and 6 timeline
Since I used to work as a security guard I have to defend them since the hardest part of your job is not to fall asleep while you're on duty.
I was a security guard too and there was several times I fell asleep. I got caught twice. Once I didn't respond on my walkie talkie during roll call and the other the store owner caught me sleeping in a recliner at his outdoor furniture summer sale.
Great reaction guys!
Please watch more of the Halloweens after Halloween 3! Patreon here! Keep up the goof work we love ur channel
The person who was mistaken for Micheal Myers,hit by a car, and blown up, was Ben Tramer, the guy Laurie Strode wanted to ask out but was too shy. Super weird way to bring a character to life in a sequel just to kill him so swiftly.
Are you guys planning on watching all of the sequels for all of the horror movies you've seen? If not you really should because watching the crappy sequels is part of the experience of a franchise.
11:04 that reaction doe lol
I'll never get over Michael just walking clean through that glass door.
I'm so exited for this ❤️
The crazy thing is he didn’t die after this lol he was just in a coma
Yeah starting with part 4 is when things just get wonky lol
The Changeling , with George C. Scott. A must see classic ghost story. Cheers from Nashville - Joey
LoL @ 6:57
“I’ve heard that before, sister.”
I’m deceased.
Jamie Lee curtis wig is so distracting in this lol. I had the vhs with part one and two on it many years ago
If you're watching sequels then try "Exorcist 3"
When the police came into Jeffrey Dahmer’s apartment, that film was playing on his VCR.
Definitely this! Skip the second one though 😅 The exorcist 3 is so creepy, on par with the first for me for sure
TRUE one of the best horror movies of all time
Randomly soppy post but lockdown, isolation and severe mental health issues have hit me very hard recently - one of the few happy points of my weeks are seeing a new video from you guys, not only am I a big fan of the films you watch but it’s genuinely great seeing two mates have a good time watching them together. Basically, just wanna say thanks for putting yourselves out there boys, you’re always a blast to see. ☺️
So happy you're doing sequels now! Hopefully Scream 2 soon! Love u guys!
A lot of people weirdly love this film and consider it nearly on par with the original which I find incredibly baffling. I don't hate it by any means (Shaun's 5.8 sounds about right for me) but it's just an inferior copy of the first film set in a hospital. Everything the film does the first one did better and by virtue of trying to seem like a continuation, I feel it only makes the flaws more glaring.
You guys should definitely do Halloween III at some point and treat it more as its own film rather than a Halloween sequel. An underrated film that I'm glad a lot of people are finally coming around to.
I hope one day that others valid opinions doesn’t seem so alien to you. Took me years to realize I wasn’t a hive mind as well... Well, a couple of hours on shrooms to be correct.
Halloween 3 is truly an underrated film, just sucks that so many people dismiss it because it doesn't have Michael in it. Luckily it has a nice cult following!
@@angellopez3202 I think it's turning around now, actually. Lots of people reevaluating it or discovering it for the first time without bias.
H20 is great, if you don’t want to watch all the sequels, you can jump forward to that one.
No.
Oh yeah.. Laurie never actually learns that Micheal is her brother in this film.
I'm drunk but just opened a last beer before bed, i'm sure you appreciate that English feeling of looking for a youtube, even one you watched a few months ago. This is my personal third favourite in the franchise after the og as my favourite film of all time, and Kills 10th fave. This is in a constant running battle with Halloween 4 for 16 and 17th fave films. (My god, no typo's not as pissed as i thought lol)
Love this and the first one, I really like how it directly follows on. I even like the third one but not really a fan of the others. Although H2O is kind of fun. Lol
I SHOT HIM 6 TIMES!
Lol 😂 SIX TIMES!
Halloween 1, 2, and H2O are what I considered the true Halloween trilogy for the Laurie and Michael Myers brother and sister dynamic arc.
@@Mangolite Agreed, I like Halloween 3, for the dark story it is, even though It's not Michael Myers
Tom, love, you really need to practice your active listening skills. Let Shaun finish a thought before you pipe up. You step on the end of his sentences all too often.
lol you guys are Great, Thanks for the vid
Lol, that nurse is Ana Alicia, from Falcon Crest.
In a world full of sequels, be a Halloween 3! LOL
if you want something different watch the remake of the original
You mean the Rob Zombie remake?
Yes guys! Keep the other horror sequel reviews coming :) Really interesting and cool points addressed. Definitely check out III as it is just totally a different story and what I thought would have been a much better approach with the franchise as an anthology. Regarding the 2018 Halloween film, in my eyes I thought it was the best of the sequels as they actually tried something different and more interesting with the Michael Myers storyline, something to note though is that it follows as a direct sequel to the original and forgets about all the prior entries.
4:54 -- is that Marty McFly making an appearance as an extra?? hahahahaha
"HEY McFLYYYY!!!"
The 2018 sequel is better but this one's pretty good as well 👍 👍
I know this is controversial but l like Halloween 2 more than Halloween 1..... l know one is a classic and all but 2 is definitely my favorite 😌
You guys always upload when I’m in online school.
hooked to these videos
Your reaction was inimitable 👏👏👏
This was my first horror movie... I was 6 when my dad let me watch it and it terrified me!!!!!! So even though everything you commented on is on point this will always be my introduction to horror my first... You never forget your first!
Can't wait for you guys to see 3&4..my two favorites
Caressing a bonsai and looking at the camera.
Now, that's a mood.
Mr Sandman song is just so out of place and so freaky because of it. Loved the first one, this one more slashy. Great reaction video boys :)
If there's one good thing about this pandemic (if indeed there is), it's the number of amazingly entertaining and talented reactors that have popped up over the past year.
Guys like you are gonna become huge
Still never understood why that hospital was virtually empty for most of the movie lmao. It was like they not only don’t have patients who are staying overnight (besides Laurie) but also no decent size PM or Noc Shift staff!!
Watching these 2 plus H20 is a thrill ride. Especially the last half of H20. What a showdown!!
Other reaction videos I've seen either jumpcut or turn the screen black to avoid copyright. Your version is much better blurred and can just hear it with you two zoomed in and talking over it's very enjoyable 😁 you and your editor do a great job
Ahhh been waitin for this one!!!!!
6:03 This has to be one of the best lines in the entire movie. I laughed so hard the first time I heard it.
You guys are the best.
