Halloween (Atari 2600) - Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN)

- čas přidán 29. 10. 2008
- Halloween is upon him, so for his nightmarish night the Nerd must review three very bad Halloween-themed video games for the Atari 2600. This is Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 36.
John Carpenter's Halloween is well regarded as one of the most influential horror movies of all time. Released in 1978, the film unknowingly launched the career of scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis and arguably created it's own genre: the slasher.
The film's success also led to something much more evil...Halloween, the video game.
Released by Wizard Video for the Atari 2600, the game featured horrifying acts of violence, all in glorious 8-bit graphics. Unfortunately, the game wasn't able to live up to the film's success.
On this particular Halloween night, the Nerd must survive horrible games, the Shape himself, and possibly the worst horror of all...CHILDREN! All On The Night He Came Home!

That moment when you realise those kids are now young adults...
They are less than 18.
They look like
U must be so lucky be on avgn
Vectrex28 🎮🎮🎮🎮😻😻🦊🦊🦊🦊
Vectrex28 im guessing they were either his neighbors kids or family members.
kid: i want some candy
james: *gave them an entire freaking console*
And "chocolate"
Right after taking a massive dump in their bag.
And wireless controllers
@@dariondavis2488 Plot Twist: The console is a Xbox 360 in disguise
what a nice man!
“That’s not chocolate nor is it poop. It’s shit!!” One of the most underrated AVGN quotes ever
Well, AAAAAAAAAAAASS will always be my favorite.
@A B no, I am not gayass, it's because long story...
@@keen7youtubeistoast796 which moron doesn't have a favourite quote
@@keen7youtubeistoast796 You must be new to the Internet 😂
@@keen7youtubeistoast796 And your the supreme perfect one 😂😂😂 I bet you haven't even looked up "underrated" because it was used right lmao.
6:16
the face that kid makes when he says poop gets me everytime lol
Hell yeah
I like how those kids came trick or treating to an apartment on the second floor of a house
I always think about it lol
I always thought it was a basement
I love how he not only gave them the entire console, but he also included the wireless controllers! Those are kind of rare.
I bet they still have it to this day
Those are real? I thought they were just for this video.
Or then that's just how much he wanted to get rid of'em :)
Then his Atari is still plugged in the next scene😝
not only that, but also the Halloween game
11:28 when the kid throws the toy at James’ face 😭
Well what did he expected ?.. he shat in their candy bag !
@@legrandgougoulilumine6940 He had that coming! 😆
11:28 he was not expecting to get hit in the face
Rup
I never saw that before and I am laughing so hard
AVGN babysitting? The parents must be out of their minds.
I'd love to have AVGN as my babysitter. Getting to swear while playing video games? That'd be awesome as a little kid.
I am someone you don't know maybe they were desperate
I am someone you don't know not to mention the Nostalgia Critic had babysat as well
@@benbing3926 Ah, but that was him doing a favour for the Devil.
What were they thinking?!
Those kids weren't acting on the punching scene. They really were giving their all holy shit xD
I know right lol
I think they hurt him for real.. lol !
and that was their dad as michael myers, it seems lol. this episode looked so fun to make
@@noodletribunal9793 Wonder how hard their mom laughed at this if she did XD
I'd hope so.
The Nerd is easily the funniest CZcamsr I’ve ever watched

Once again, since it's tradition i'm here watching this during halloween.
It's October 1 and I've just rewatched it. Probably going to watch all the AVGN Halloween episodes, including this one, on Halloween proper.
Me to. 10/6/2023

This video is ten years old. And I still remember watching this video back in middle school.
Damn youre young. I was 31 when this came out in 2008.
@varyon the schizophrenic dark elf - I'll be 43 in September.
@varyon the schizophrenic dark elf Good question, it's not like you can look at the video date and do some basic Math to get a rough estimate.
Adam you’re not 43 lol.
man, im 25... time is fleeting
I love that they managed to make a video with as much swearing as usual but still not do it in front of the kids. When he's yelling at them at his door, they've clearly edited the clips together. Even when he yells at them to shut up he really only yells "SHADAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!" It's kind of adorable that they were like, "here's the line", haha.
13:20 was a legit jump scare for me.
Same
"It's alive!, it's alive! How about it's ass! It's ASSSS!"
Underrated line
"Was that the Poopy Man?"
After all these years, that line still gets me.
7:26 That part was always creepy to me.
Oh Damn.😨😠😆
Me too
it's fucking meatwad
Shit. 🙀😀😃
The scariest is this one 6:04
We need a legit Halloween game for this generation consoles. Like the Friday the 13th game.
Dead by Daylight lets you be a stabby Micheal boy!
Ha
@@EnvyTheBunny though its online af F
Try Babysitter Bloodbath
Nah. I'd rather have some sort of tie in single player game. They did it with Alien isolation.
11:25 when the kid threw something at the nerds face. LMFAO
Javierjr1224 it looks like it actually hurt but he went with it anyway
I think it was a shoe?
I was wondering if that was scripted or not lol 😂
Raymond Renfrow RayRen98 Tribute it was a rat thing
@@raymondrenfrowrayren98trib34 it's a rat toy.
How did 2 six year olds manifest to connect an Atari 2600 to a modern television
Black magic.
That's what I'm thinking
+Alden Grant plot hole!
What do you mean Modern? That TV is from 2008
+DaRk MiNaR A TV from 2008 is pretty modern compared to a 2600.
"Hey, can I use your kids for a video in my basement?"
They were probably family members
Nephews, if I recall.
Don't worry, they've just get handed a bag of "chocolate milk" and get to beat up Michael Myers.
This comment is unfortunately very accurate with modern reality. Sick world we live in.
@@legrandgougoulilumine6940 You're acting like "those" people never existed before
I can't believe I haven't noticed until now: it's obviously daytime during the basement scene
This isn't average darkness...
Its...
*Advanced Darkness*
More like ASS-Vanced Darkness.
Or.. *Vantablack*
it's ass
DUN DUN
Pppppp
Those kids are in highschool now XD
+Ben Hallett That is, assuming they didn't fail the school, yeah lol
Jesus Christ Why would you let them die, aren't you Jesus Christ?
Seven09 Lil' fucks got it for Christmas as a present.
Jesus Christ Oh c'mon, they are such nice kids, they deserve a golden zelda NES cartridge!
+Ben Hallett I was like their age when this was made
I love when the kid is in the doorway and says "use these nerd!"
This was my introduction to AVGN back in the day. I can't believe I still remember some of the lines. Such a classic...
Even today these old videos are fun to watch. AVGN just has a ton of rewatch value
well... i would be amazed if someome gave me an atari game and the whole console....
i was thinking the same, it would be like the dopest thing ever
i would be happier with the bag of shit
+Abezithibod Lord Why would you want the Atari 5200?
*****
THATS is why i like old consoles.... since its fun...kinda... but it is a nice furniture :D
Well you see it retails between 240 and 260 US dollars on Ebay. It's an old vintage console making it a collectible and vintage and retro gaming commands a decent price.
I remember when i was a kid this episode actually kinda scared me
Danielle Pluzsik about
Same here, I think I was about 12. That Frankenstein bit where he comes out of the screen always got me :D Ahh good memories. Just rewatched the episode now for nostalgia's sake and it's as good as ever.
You must have had a very mature child hood.

"Ewww... it's not chocolate, it's poop!"
"IT'S NOT CHOCOLATE NOR IS IT POOP IT'S SHIT"
8:06 This isn't just ordinary darkness, this is _advanced_ darkness.
14:26 How did James predict Halloween Kills??? 🤣
I'm still waiting for this episode to be remade by Rob Zombie.
TheOneCalledRobie so does that mean it would be a high quality version except nostalgia critic is Michael Myers
Who?
Sheri Moon Zombie will be one of the trick or treaters curisng up a storm.
@@setsers1 rob zombie. He made halloween 1 and 2 remade
@@presidentsticky5138 and House of 1,000 Corpses.
You know, I can just imagine James showing the kid's parents this video, like, yeah, this is what your kids star in.
"IT'S NOT CHOCOLATE, NEITHER IT'S POOP. IT'S SHIT!!"
Greg Nichols how come?
stalk8r I think they're the kids of one of James' filmmaker friends.
stalk8r it's nor, not neither.
*****
No, it's shit.
***** actually, neither works as well: "not either" vs. "Not or."
8:39 One of my favorite AVGN lines.
I like how the intro music is like a mix of the AVGN theme and the Halloween theme
Continuity error: Michael gets stabbed in the eyes, yet he is able to find James and play a video game
AvatarAndKataangFan Well he got his eyes shot out in Halloween 2, and just *look* at him in the later movies. HOW??
Derpy Hooves Bitch please I'm Michael
djordan caudron *wisps away* you never saw this...
***** He gave a spare Atari to the kids
He was shot in the eyes not stabbed you fucktart
that kid in the green actually has pretty good technique on his punches
organicpeach85 I think he was dressed as Swamp Thing.
Now that's how you make a horror film.
I always got a kick out of how the Nerd doesn't scream, curse, or have any reasonable reaction to seeing Michael Myers; he just immediately runs without making any sound. XD
wow the acting from these kids are amazing. this youtube video looks like something that should be on actual tv
+Kenneth Kaleita Acting? Aren't kids naturally like that???
+Kenneth Kaleita I thought the same thing! They did a great job! Hahaha
+Kenneth Kaleita I remember James mentioned in one of his videos that his background is in film. The texas chainsaw massacre video was also amazing
better than half of the child actors on Nick
Don't give CZcams any ideas.
Not going to lie, I jumped when Mike appeared from behind the fuse box.
Patrick Stivers so did I.
Surprise attack!!
It would be cool if that dialogue went like this:
Kid: ''Was that the Poopeyman?''
AVGN: ''As a matter of fact he was''
14:31 he's freaking choking out Optimus! 😂
The AVGN may need to think about improving his diet. His shit is always runny as hell. Maybe all that anger stemming from the bad games is stressing him out or something...
butkusfan23 Yeh, like how often does he go in between oil changes? Oh wait, he's a human and not a car.
:p
How do u explain the atari jaguar episode where his feces are hard?
*****
Can you not tell we are being sarcastic, it should have been obvious
*****
Only to those who either have English as a second language, or who have no sense of humor. You notice you are the only one who did not get the joke...
It was obviously a joke from the very beginning. Only a total moron would think he is actually shitting in his videos. The video was silly, as was my comment. Calm down and quit the all caps, its unnecessarily dramatic and makes you look crazy for reacting so strongly over nothing. Chill out and have a good night
I actually feel bad for Michael Myers after he was splattered with shit.
He can stand 6 shots to the heart, let alone several other things, but not two kids with hulk hands. WTF
Slasher serial killers main weakness are little kids.
he was lucky to survive to that attack!
It could have been Busta Rhymes.
The Ugly Barnacle 😂😂😂
You can tell this would have been a fun episode to make XD
That face the little boy makes at 6:18 gets me everytime 😂
8:28 the biggest tease of it's time
Took a freaking movie for us to finally get the closure.
Bottom Glass Cinema this is my favorite episode to contain a character from the game
@@wwemonkey619 That's nice..
"HEY YOU DOPE I WANT SOME CANDY" you just got a video game console that's better than candy
Not to them apparently.
A classic console too......
+shaun4225 Well, how were they supposed to know it was a console? I mean, I'd never heard of an Atari 2600 until I watched AVGN.
ARC the Clarinet Master I guess you were lucky enough not to play Atari's ET.....
An atari doesn;t count as a console if that's the case.
2023 and I'm still rewatching these
I love how when the kids are beating up Mikey one frame during the scene he’s legit choking one of the kids lol lol
So these kids are given a bag of shit while trick or treating, so they take the trouble of carrying it home, and then just throw it in their basement, explain that one
They are kids of green extremists and they have an hydroponic garden in their basement?
Zerlono1 Haha I thought it was hilarious that they kept his shit in the basement XD
Zerlono1 ha right right. I can just picture the kid tying up the bag himself and carrying it home and placing it carefully in the basement
Zerlono1 "so they take the trouble of carrying it home, and then just throw it in their basement, explain that one"
No need to explain it...you just did.
Huh... Kid's today?
imagine how awkward it must have been to ask his neighbor if he could use her kids for a video
+shairaptor "hey can i use your kids for a video?"
+shairaptor thats why
They've got the same surname as the camera operator so he probably volunteered them.
They are in their older teens now. Hah.
Heh heh yeah.
Nerd: hey neighbor can I use your kids in a video where I swear at them?
Neighbor: uuuhhh...*closes door slowly*
Damn those kids knew more about their basement than I knew about my house
"Never have I had to dodge such a relentless onslaught of vampire bats. Have mercy."
Easily one of my favorite Nerd lines.
When AVGN yells "ass" it reminds me of that tourettes counselor from South Park
you meen lik PIIIISSSS comin out of my AAAAAASSSSS;🤣🤣
That episode was funny as hell
"What the heck is an Atari you dope!?"
I was showing this to my mom and she said it predicted Halloween Ends, still not over it
I can easily see myself watching and rewatching and re-re-re-rewatching AVGN episodes way into my 70's and beyond
the house in the game look like something out of south park
That is so true.
no stairs tho and most of the houses in south park have stairs in the living room. but yeah the design does.
lmao
Speaking of which,
Is it just me or does the kid with the transformer mask remind you too of Kenny (with and without the mask)?
@@Seiko180 fry
Along with Monster Madness, I make it a tradition to watch all of the AVGN Halloween episodes. James, you've kept me entertained for years.
HO YES!!! IT'S NOW A CULT TRADITION
I'm doing the same thing but with the avgn Christmas episodes instead!
I guess James must've been one of those people who looked young for their age. He looks about 19 or 20 here but I think he is 40 now so would've been 26ish in 2007
One of my top favorite AVGN episodes that I watch every October. 😊🎃
That remix of the Halloween theme that starts at 13:19 is the most awesome thing I've heard all day.
+Iuri Almeida can anyone link that remix?
+Iuri Almeida Fuck yes!
coopercastille Now you re my fucking god
ikr
Almost sounds likes it's made with the Earthbound sound font.... no one else thought that? Okay....
These Halloween episodes get pretty surreal
As if AVGN episodes weren't surreal to begin with.
Man, anytime I revisit this episode, it always makes me laugh and smile. It's a genuine classic.
Dude having James as an older cousin must've been awesome
I wonder what these kids are like now
the secondhand embarrassment is fucking palpable
Nightspawn Son-of-luna ok, will one of you tell me what the hell is going on before I go apeshit from a coconut being shoved up my ass?
Nightspawn Son-of-luna *mouths* WHAT THE FUCK?
Nightspawn Son-of-luna butt hurt?
Nightspawn Son-of-luna The f- don't roleplay here....
I GOT JUMPSCARED TWICE.
"I've been trick or treated like shit!" Hahahaha
"You don't know what shit is!"
I still follow my tradition to watch this every Halloween 😊🎃 I grew up watching these and this episode was number 2 in my favorites. Number 1 being Nightmare on Elm street. Thank you for all the memories and Happy Halloween everybody 🎃🎃💀👻
When I was only listening to the audio of this, I started to imagine the nerd was the one carrying a knife and chasing after Michael Myers. It would seem like a fitting end to the video.
after all these years I finally realise that he is babysitting the kids because thats what is happening in the movie
You are kidding me -_-
LeifgoesLive sped
👏👏👏
(It’s okay it took me years to realize that the hippy-looking guy in the Texas chainsaw massacre review was supposed to be a reference to Chop Top.)
hahaaha yes
LOL
Gotta love the rock remix of the Halloween theme.
Who's watching it in 2020?
every october i come back and watch this video! it gets me in the whole halloween spirit
I wish the nerd was my babysitter.....
Oh my god me too
me three
me four
just playin some games
David Wiebe Carful, he might shit on your games xD
i like how the kids just start beating him up XD
6:00 Did James think we wouldn't notice the kids knocking on his bedroom door? Also good for James to get those kids to act.
The Halloween movies and avgn are key nostlagic things for me so seeing this video every Halloween is just me asking for a crifest when I'm in the right mood lmao
If I was handed an Atari 2600 for halloween, I'd be shitting my pants in excitement.
ThePaladinGamer Why not use a bag instead? Less washing, that way...
Seeing James with the kids at the end is so cute. I love this episode so much.
After watching a marathon of all Halloween movies I came back to this video.
Oh my gawd, this video is 15 years old.
I think its older because some of his episodes was on cinemassacres website before youtube was a thing. I think this is more like 17 yrs
Who is watching this right now? 6 years later and this shit is still funny
***** I hope you had a great Halloween Halloween
***** Same here.
every year i try to see all his halloween vids :P
Considering I was watching Halloween (1978) and Halloween remake earlier, I had to xD
Me
If I went Trick or Treating and someone gave me a videogame console, that would be awesome!
What if it was the 5200
What if the only game on it is ET?
15 years ago…
16* back then he posted on Screwattack a year before posting on CZcams
@Emigdiosback those was the days. I've been watching him for years. I usually binge watch all his episodes every fall.
Unbelievable isn’t it🥲
14 years ago......wow
16.
If NINTENDO power came crashing through my window I would say "FUK YEAH!"
-AVGN paper boy NES
Ay
Almost 7 years later and seeing Michael Meyers getting a bag of shit straight to the face STILL makes me laugh my ass off.
Gotta love the charm of the style of James's cinematography. I mean, everything stacks up just right: The timing, the angles, the suspense. I don't ever jump at horror movies, but I will admit, I jumped when Michael showed up; It was just timed in the best way. Also, those kids were completely savage to Michael, that was probably my favorite part of this. Truly a classic. And one more thing: The Nerd is the expert at taking a shit without ever wiping his ass.
"You don't know what sh1t is"
LOL best ending
"I've been trick or treated like shit tonight!"
"You don't know what *shit* is."
Always when i read the title i think this is review on atari 2600 and the halloween is just there to indicate it is halloween
+Comment_User Me too!
That final jump scare still gets me all these years later lol
Still better than Halloween Ends
The kid's acting is stellar XD
"It's poop." with that face)))
"its ass, its assssss" gets me everytime lol
The CZcams upload just turned 13 years old. This video is the age of a teenager.
i just noticed that the font used for the top of the game manual's cover is the same one used for the 2018 film's poster...
Neat
