Current Events > *rewatches Halloween 2* (FRANCHISE Spoilers)

(+) Yeah! (+)

It's weird how Halloween became a Choose Your Own Adventure story. In one continuity, Lori Strode dies and Dr. Loomis carries on the fight. In another continuity, Lori battles her brother 20 years later and is eventually killed by him. In yet another continuity, Lori battles Michael 40 years later, eventually killing him, and they're not related. Plus, there's the Rob Zombie continuity and the one where Halloween is a movie in-universe.

Anyway, I only had time for one film in the franchise. Since I started working at a hospital this year, I chose the one with the hospital setting: Halloween 2. I must say, the nurses are highly unprofessional. I can't believe Jimmy stroking a sleeping Lori's hand was supposed to be endearing. If I'm in a sleeping patient's room, I try and wake them or else leave as quickly and quietly as I can. Plus, you have the two personnel that are willing to leave babies unattended so that they can go and have sex in the hot tub. Excuse me, water therapy pool or whatever they call it. (Why did that thing have a "scald to death" setting, anyway?)

It's kind of a shame that Halloween Ends is terribad. If it had been as good as the 2017 movie, it would have been an ideal movie to close out a 31 day horror movie marathon. "Halloween Ends."

Also, I had no idea that the George W. Bush-lookin' dude from the recent trilogy was the same guy that got burned to death by the police in Halloween 2. At least members of one profession act in the movie the way that they do in real life.

<_<

original story minus the last 2 thorn movies was better than the rest. H20 is still my fav.

I used to live by that hospital. I was also an extra in 5, or which ever one starred Paul Rudd.
