1 2 and H20 (fuck 8)

the new one honestly does not appeal to me but ill probably still watch it when it gets a home release but nothing about it sounds like it will change my mind

i really hate it removing the brother sister connection that made micheal creepier IMO an obsession with killing his family is unnerving (thoe that reasons hould never be explained)

The new one is great and the timeline of just 1978 Halloween and 2018 Halloween works perfectly. I like that they're not related.

They didn't need to turn Laurie into his sister for Halloween 2 to explain his continued hunt. His fixation on Laurie as a replacement for his sister was already demonstrated in the first one... because he's a supernaturally evil psychopath trying to relive his most cherished memory from childhood.

The hospital was a great setting. Dark and desolate as hell. Not like any hospital I've ever been in. An already wounded Laurie trying to survive there in a hide & seek scenario was awesome.

Better boob scene too.

The music was the only stand out thing about the original in my opinion.

I know it was one of the original slasher flicks, but the first Halloween has never been anything special to me. It's not even in my top 5 Carpenter movies-- which would be Big Trouble in Little China, The Thing, Escape from New York, In the Mouth of Madness, & The Fog, if you're curious.

In the movie they explicitly say something along the lines of "Wasn't he her brother?" to which the granddaughter says that it is an urban myth.

No one at any other point in the movie even references that urban myth, so idk how you can even pretend you thought they were still siblings.

Halloween 3 is a very underrated movie.


It's a shame people were too stupid to get behind it. Halloween could have been this epic series of movies but no, they just had to go back to Michael and drag out the same shit over and over.

There was also a time when Friday the 13th was supposed to be different stories but the studio backed out because it was safer to just have Jason killing campers each time.

you ever seen that godzilla movie where godzilla never shows up and its all about ghosts?

brand recognition is a double edged sword. in both halloween and friday the 13th they tied the name to a specific villain.

No, I understand why people were put off by it. You had two movies featuring Michael Myers, and then suddenly a movie with the same title but nothing at all to do with him. If they'd tried the anthology idea instead of making Halloween 2 I think it could have worked, but with the sequel already being present, there was too much of an expectation built up.

To be fair, Halloween 1 and 2 were more of a two part movie. The idea that the Halloween franchise is synonymous with Michael Myers is BECAUSE they went on to make ten more of them.

I mean, even Friday the 13th wasn't associated with Jason in the first movie.

It didn't help that everyone was phoning in Halloween 3. It's not as if it was a great movie that just suffered at the box office.

Uh, Godzilla is the name of the monster. It wouldn't make sense to name something Godzilla and not have him in it.

Halloween and Friday the 13th clearly do not reference any specific monster. They are vague titles that give you a quick impression that the content involved will probably be scary, nothing more.

There was never a time where Friday the 13th was supposed to be different stories. They tried having a different killer in part 5 and everyone hated it. And there has never been a Friday the 13th movie where Jason kills any campers, only two of the movies even took place at a camp.

In the new movie, he didn't escape though at the end of the first movie. It's not as if he stood up and ran away.

Are you calling me a liar?

I just saw this the other day in the Friday the 13th game. It's in that virtual cabin thing. They talk about the original plans to have completely different stories.

Really it shouldn't be surprising if you're aware of the TV series they did that in fact was an anthology and had nothing to do with Jason.
