He is often described as the Boogeyman, and the films heavily imply that Michael Myers is not a mere mortal man. But which of the following facts is the most persuasive in that regard?




What do you think?

Id say surviving the end of Halloween 2 is proof of being supernatural. Him and Loomis.

The only Canon entries are the first, and the 2018 movie.

That's not official. Back in 1998 you'd be saying the same shit about H20.
This is simply an alternate timeline.
Halloween is a very convoluted franchise with different branches.
That doesn't mean the current chronology is the only one. It's just a different one.

It does. The only Canon entries are the original, 2018, and Halloween Kills, which is for the best given how poorly the rest of the franchise holds up to any other major horror franchise's sequels.

The blackest eyes speech suggests him being supernatural. Him getting up after being shot six times at point blank range proves it.

So basically you're saying you're cool with the eleventh movie of a franchise retconning the entire series?

John Carpenter himself said it ignores the other sequels. That doesn't mean it and the original are now the only officially canon films in the franchise.

If you're gonna spout BS, again, please bring some more ammunition.

When every single movie it retconned ranges from bad to atrocious, then yes. There are only three good movies in the franchise.

Halloween 4 is better than any Friday the 13th movie. Halloween 2 is a great romp even if it lacks the chilling nature of the original.

You're a broken fucking record, dude.

Allow me to explain to you the flaw in your logic. As I mentioned before, let's rewind to 1998.

Halloween H20 is released, and ignores all the movies except for the first two. You'd be spouting "1, 2 and H20 are the only canon films now! The rest don't matter."

Fast forward 20 years, and now H20 is rendered obsolete, because the '18 version ignores everything but the first movie.

"1978 and 2018 are the only canon films now! The rest don't matter."

Way to miss the point.

Anyway, Halloween II (1981) is a better movie than Halloween 2018, though I like them both; and I give a metaphorical middle finger to anyone who says it doesn't count anymore just because a new movie was made that retcons everything.

Fuck that. Recency < seniority.

The only thing Halloween 2018 has that trounces every other film, is the soundtrack. I'll admit that.

It's the best score in the franchise.

Tf? What is this based off of? Not saying you're wrong, but I just have a hard time believing it.

Nothing other than his opinion that because the 2018 movie disregards all others except the original, that they're the only two that matter. As if it's legitimate for the eleventh fucking movie in a franchise to wipe out everythingthat came before it. It makes so much more sense to view the Halloween franchise as a multi-branched series with various timelines.

Not even remotely similar. This situation would be more akin to an "Episode X" Star Wars movie being released that completely negated every single movie except for A New Hope, and by your logic that would be perfectly fine.

That's fucking dumb.

If episode X comes out and it directly retcons every single movie other than A New Hope, then it and A New Hope would be the only canon movies.

only in the sense that he wanted the sequels to be totally different stories. the original plan was there would be sequels but each movie would be about an unrelated bad thing that happened on Halloween. Meyers was just the first story and they didn't plan to continue his story but he got too popular.

Season of the Witch was an attempt to go back to their original plan but it didn't take. and they went back to Meyers
