I love what each of the pumpkin intros represent in the series Ha1loweeen: the pumpkin is simple but lacks emotion just like the killer Michael Myers who kills without reason or emotion, he just…kills. The score reflects this too, simple and creepy without emotion Halloween 2: the pumpkin is more detailed and an actual prop with a skull inside showing the film’s higher budget and more blood and violence compared to the original. The score also reflects this using more instruments and rising in tone as the score goes on Halloween 2018: the pumpkin represents a return to form for the franchise as it reverse decomposes into a beautiful resculpt of the original 1978 pumpkin. The score reflects this too with an amazing rescore of the original theme that gets you hype for the return of the true Shape Halloween kills: the pumpkins represent all the Halloween movies and the most gruesome film to date in this series as the pumpkins are literally set on fire which fits the theme of the film very well. Like all the others the score fits this as well with probably the most demonic version of the main Halloween theme to date Halloween ends: the pumpkins represent the theme of the entire film of how evil never truly dies but just changes shape as each pumpkin tears through the previous one looking more and more devilish until the last one which just looks like a normal pumpkin until it splits open to reveal something darker than any of the demonic pumpkins that came before it. By now you know where this is going. The score is perfect for the end of this series. It combines all the previous scores perfectly. Ha1loween’s creepy sounds, Halloween 2’s advanced music, Halloween 2018’s hype factor and Halloween kills’ demonic feeling. A perfect theme to a near perfect end(imo) I love little things like this
I love them all but the Halloween 2 opening has to be the most terrifying one for me. When you saw the pumpkin sequence in 2018 that alone was enough to be like “okay this is gonna be one of the better sequels for sure”
@@halloweenclipsandsoundtracks I thought 2s opening was a little too long, and the effect would've worked better if the momentum hadn't been disrupted by the sheer length of the intro. I still liked it, I just prefer the pacing of the intros from the new trilogy
I guess you could say halloween 3 has, but it's a digital pumpkin so i dont really count it. Halloween 5 kind of has one but only split second shots of it and like a 3 second reveal of the pumpkin at the end of the credits so I dont really count it as a pumpkin credit like the original
