One of my favorite skssher films! I saw this with my sister, doing ROTC training in Flagstaff Az, a week before my ,10th birthday, October 2000, my family and I left on a Friday, came back on Sunday. We were staying in a hotel, and my sister and i watched this on Cinemax and it scared the hell out of me! Loved it ever since.
Just so you guys know Halloween even without H3 are different timelines with Michael. H1, H2, H4, H5, H6 are one timeline also known as the Thorn timeline(thorn trilogy with 4, 5 and 6) Then you have H1,H2, H20, H Resurrection as another timeline(which ignores the Thorn trilogy) Then there's H1, Halloween 2018, Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends timeline. David Gordon Green trilogy. There's also the Zombie Halloween verse which is a different universe interpretation all together as Michael isn't supernatural at all in those 2 movies.
Back back in 1978 somebody told my grandmother that this was a good thriller and that she should watch it in the theater so she took me and a group of my friends, I was 8 years old and my friends were anywhere from 8 to 10 to the theater to see this and the music scared the hell out of me and it still bothers me to this day.
The patents were kind of frozen in place because they were staring at Michael, who stood stome faced and wasn't reacting to anything. They were trying to decipher his behavior.
Watching this movie at night while eating "Candy Corn" would be a good time 2 me ✊. Candy Corn is 1 of those Candies that Fits well into Halloween 2 me..just based on the Design of Candy Corn itself. But with that being said, Nice reaction yall ✊
Believe me on 1978 this movie scared the crap out of 17 year old girls like me. Michael was the 1st unstoppable killer. Before Michel you could actually kill them and they stayed dead. I STILL check the backseat of my car before getting in because of this movie.
Michael never would have targeted Laurie if she hadn't invaded his personal space Michael would have just stayed home where he wanted to be If she had never gone to his house first
Halloween is my favorite horror movies. Love y’all’s reactions to this and your other ones. If there is anyway y’all can react to 30 days of night. Another great movie. Love you guys. You’re awesome.
The first film I ever saw was John Carpenter’s Halloween at just three years old! It’s been my favorite film ever since 🖤🥹 So glad you’re reacting to it, and I hope you eventually make it through the rest of the franchise! Also, all the tropes you noticed throughout (every time you said, “he’s gonna be gone”) were originated with this film! I think you guys will LOVE Halloween H20, the seventh film, as it came out the year after Scream and it’s very similar in tone. It was even partly written by Kevin Williamson!
Tony was Michael just for the shot with his mask off. Majority of the movie it was Nick Castle. This was meant to be a one and done movie. That’s why it was left with an ominous feeling of him still being out there. Halloween was supposed to be an anthology series with a new story every year. But once they made 3 and Michael Myers wasn’t in it people got upset so they brought him back.
You guys have GOT TO watch Halloween 3 and Rob Zombie’s movies at some point though! Those are some of my favorites in the franchise! Plus Miramax is selling TV rights to continue the Halloween 3 storyline in the future!
mrdavman: haha. Well, it doesn't seem like they've seen too many older movies that have more of a slow buildup where writers and directors set things up before getting to the kills. Movies today have to take shorter attention spans into account, so they apply more quick cut editing and introductory kills than older movies that use longer tracking shots, lingering staged shots, and other slow burn techniques. The more older movies they see, the more exposure they'll get to the different styles used that aren't used as much today
@@LA_HA I just thought it was funny like. How is that an excuse? Running ins instinctual to most animals as soon as they’re born or really able to walk well, they will start running almost immediately after
@@mrdavman13 Yeah, but they're not The Incarnation of Evil with The Devil's Eyes. Myers is The Boogeyman. He's in no hurry. He knows it's just a matter of time before he gets whomever he's after. Maybe not that night. Maybe not next Halloween. But, some time. He's the original It Follows. It's a game and he likes to play
@@LA_HA yep that’s what I figure. He just keeps coming cause he knows he has time and relishes in the whole process. It is all a game of sorts to hun and the chase is the most fun probably besides actually killing them
Please do Halloween II but season of the witch is a watch even no I don't Like the film its still interesting but it doesn't have Michael Myers but the jingle will be stuck in your head
The hell are you talking about? The 3rd movie alone is literally better and more interesting than most of the sequels lmao including 2 of the 3 movies of the latest trilogy of that so-called director named David Gordon Green. Smh 🤦🏻♂️
The reason he stalks Laurie and the little boy at school was simply because she dropped the key off at his house and he was with her. Just pure randomness. Also the parents standing and doing nothing was a creative decision by Carpenter for dramatic affect.
That is true. I think it's called a segue, and it's from stage plays. Also in real life I would think parents would stand frozen for a few seconds wondering WTF is going on.
Laurie is also his sister, not mentioned until 2 I think. Also, the parents just standing by, the stupidity of the police is a social commentary on authority figures. In Scream the parents are never around even though there's a serial killer, Hambrey is killed being an idiot and Dewey 'oozes with inexperience' (Gales words not mine)😕
@@punkem733 I see your point but I was talking about the 'Slasher' genre in general. Authority figures are basically useless, a paradigm used throughout. Maybe social commentary isn't an entirely accurate phrase but they are generally morality tales about growing up and how the decisions we make can have an effect on our lives and often show a disconnection between youth and adults. Just an opinion. If we all had the same the world would be a boring place.
@@d.w.strangeman4963 I agree that came later on in the 80's. Even the kids that have sex, drink, and do drugs getting killed while the final girl survives because she didn't do any of that was a coincidence. Both Carpenter and debra hill said that.
My all time favorite horror movie. I hope you do ALL the movies . Everyone of them is different and unique in their own way. Different timelines too. Morning made !!! Thank you fan pops!!
I think part of the reason they don't notice getting followed by Michael when they're driving is the fact that Annie & Laurie are high. That's why they were driving around town for so long until it got dark, even though it's a small town and where they're babysitting is not far from their houses, which isn't far from Michael's house. They were just smoking & driving until it was time to for them to babysit, completely missing the random car following behind them...
Faster pace does not equal more scary. It's about tone. This set the standard...... to hear people say that an absolute classic was "good for what it was" is degrading.
If you enjoyed this? You’ll love the original classic ‘BLACK CHRISTMAS’ - just leaving this here as a suggestion! Not a demand. Much love from one of your Patreon SuperFans! 💛
So glad you guys are doing the franchise! It's my favorite of all time, but when you guys get to HALLOWEEN 6: The Curse of Michael Myers PLEASE watch the Theatrical Cut first, which is the version that was released to theaters. There is an alternate version of it called the 'Producer's Cut' but it's basically the version that was shown to test audiences. It has its moments but give the Theatrical Cut a watch first, it's alot more fun
I know the Halloween movies inside out, but I'm now officially comitted to follow your view on this amazing franchise. So far, so good, I enjoy your reactions! Looking forward for Halloween II
THIS IS HOW YOU SHOULD WATCH: Original Timeline: Halloween Halloween II Halloween H20 Halloween Resurrection (This is Jamie Lee and Michael time line) - Second time line (Cult) Halloween Halloween II Halloween 4 Halloween 5 Halloween 6 - New timeline! Halloween Halloween 2018 Halloween Kills Halloween Ends
Living in many suburbs in 1978 was like living in Mayberry. I lived in one of those neighborhoods. A suburb outside of New Haven CT. People didn’t lock their doors during the day, we left our keys in our cars, us kids disappeared for hours, we started babysitting at 12 and were left alone with young kids for hours. Etc. Hard to explain to those who didn’t live it.
laurakali: Yep. My parents and grandparents grew up like that and made sure we kids got to live in the same kind of environment. It was awesome. And yes, explaining it to people who have never had that experience just isn't possible
I thought however that Carpenter was trying to say something in that while Haddonfield seemed idyllic is some ways, there was something unpleasant hiding underneath because, if people there were as nice and neighborly as they try to pretend to be, they wouldn't have IGNORED Laurie when she's screaming and banging on their doors. Not saying it applies to your situation at all but sometimes the same kind of environment where "everybody knows everybody" and you are shielded from strangers, is also the kind of environment where people can get away with stuff like wife beating and incest because NOBODY is going to "stick thier nose" in somebody else's business.
@@jacquelinecallejas1390 This is something a Lot of Halloween fans miss even though it's stated throughout the entire movie. The neighbors aren't ignoring Laurie Strode in cold blood. They're ignoring her because Halloween is hell for half the population of Haddonfield every Halloween with the other half playing pranks, vandalizing, annoying people, and being destructive. From the beginning of 1978 when we're introduced to Laurie Strode, there's constant talk about this: > Annie tells Laurie and Linda that her boyfriend Paul got in trouble for vandalism and gets grounded > We are introduced to Sheriff Brackett in front of the hardware store which he believes to be kids playing pranks and preparing for a long Halloween night by stealing the masks, rope, and knives > Loomis's trip to the cemetery ends with the caretaker believing kids took Judith Myers's headstone as a joke > When the three girls are walking home from School, they think Myers is a classmate playing tricks on them, wearing them mask while driving and hiding behind the shrubs > Sheriff Brackett tells Loomis he's better off chasing teens and kids messing around and causing damage than trying to hunt down Myers > When in the Wallace's laundry room, Annie thinks Paul is playing a trick on her > Linda thinks Steve is playing a trick on her when it's actually Myers impersonating her boyfriend Laurie thinks Tommy is taking Richie, Lonnie, and the third kid's teasing to heart every time he warns her about seeing The Boogeyman > And even Laurie Strode thinks her friends are pranking her at the end when she goes back to the Wallace's to look for Annie and Linda Even in Halloween II, one of the neighbors tells Loomis that he's been "trick or treated to death tonight." Haddonfield's constant background of being consumed with that particular diversion is something missing with fanse
There is a psychological answer to the reason why Michael doesn't speak It is a trauma response that that part of his brain chooses to disociate itself So as a response to what happened with his sister, that part of his brain shut itself off Michael can speak He just chooses not too
Talk about A Freaking Classic, Literary One of My favorite slashers/ Horror franchise. and This Movie And Franchise Had me Terrified So Much, I was so Scared To sleep at night Cause I thought Micheal will randomly come out of nowhere and Get Me 😳 Also Prepare For Some Crazy Stuff To Happen in This franchise 😅 Also the second one explains why Laurie's a target btw
"Black cats and goblins and broomsticks and ghosts, covens of witches with all of their hosts, you may think they scare me you're probably right, black cats and goblins on Halloween night."
10:28 I was a bit thrown seeing hes smoking a tobacco pipe but I guess on 45mgs Of Nicotine I wonder if I smile like that without being aware. Def explain how he gets around. Anne says he shouts too I would say hes having cravings and I know THAT from 30 years of Pipe smoking EXPERIENCE
Fun fact, the people who did the credits clearly cant do math. Michael was 6 when he killed his sister, and the events of the movie occur 15 years later, making Michael Myers age 21.
You have to understand that this movie is what put horror movies back on the map and also the movie that inspired the Friday the 13th franchise as well. All the things that are corny and stupid to us now back then were considerd scary also watch the second one it continues where this left off and answers a lot of unexplianed questions. what you need to know about this franchise is that they are not all in a stright line and sadly the reasons why he does things and such changes because of that so honostly I am not sure what to think or what timeline was the original one anymore. 8 movies? ok so that means this franchise has 11 movies? wow ok then. I only saw the first one and then skipped to Halloween H20 and then saw Ressurection and then the new ones after that. Never seen any of the others and not sure they are worth it but will watch it with you guys when you react to it. What you also need to know in all the movies there was only one rule Michael myers can not die and because of that Jamie stopped doing the movies until she agreed to come back to H20 and only a few minutes in Ressurection. She officialy came back to the new ones because of two things everyone was reunited cause eventually at some point in the franchise they fired John Carpinter and those that worked with him and the second reason was they kept a promise made to her but I won't say what that is until you get to Halloween ends and see it all the way through.
That was a great movie by the way I think you should the exorcist that’s a really good movie and the new one comes in October you should maybe watch it it’s really good.
Dunno if you watch any of them hose wives shows but Lindsay Lindsay Wallace is played by Kyle Richards. Who’s on that show who’s also the aunt of Paris Hilton it’s cool cus she comes back in the new trilogy with JLC Also random but Jamie said when she made the first one ( even tho it was before we know all the scary movie tropes/ rules) she said wait a minute Imma stab him once drop the 🔪 then get attacked once more and then drop the 🔪 again !? No F’ing way would she drop the 🔪!! Then John Carpenter says you have to, because that’s what the character does not what Jamie would do 😂
This was supposed to only be one movie ( studios Ganna studio ) but JC said the ending dr. Loomis was staring off and supposed to convey. I can’t believe this happened or I knew this would happen so it’s left up to us to figure out which he did. I think it was I knew this would happen also the breathing at the end, showing each spot that he was during the night was supposed to signify him being everywhere. This evil, the blank, pale face that could be anybody and breathing is showing he’s still there the evil is still there. ! Now this is my favorite horror franchise of all time but I love how they wanted to make this a one and done and I thought it would’ve been great just 1 even tho I’m so happy we have all the others
I really hope no one gets mad at me when I say that it’s really just the last 3 Halloween movies u should really see and not the old sequels that came out after this one. The last 3 directed by David Gordon Greene takes place 30 years after the original film.
Hey!!!! Just remember that when watching this franchise, please remember there are 5 timelines. Each timeline, besides Anthology, follows Michael Myers. Sequel Timeline: Halloween (1978), Halloween II (1981), Halloween 4 (1988), Halloween 5 (1989), Halloween 6 (1995) + this timeline is the most notable one with Laurie & her daughter H20 Timeline: Halloween (1978), Halloween II (1981), Halloween: 20 Years Later (1998), Halloween: Resurrection (2002) + this timeline ignores every movie after Halloween II in 1981 Reboot Timeline: Rob Zombie's Halloween (2007), Halloween II (2009) + this timeline is Rob's take on the horror classic H40 Timeline: Halloween (1978), Halloween (2018), Halloween Kills (2021), Halloween Ends (2022) + this timeline ignores every movie after the original 1978 Anthology Timeline: Halloween III: Season Of The Witch (1982) + this timeline is their try at making new Halloween stories kinda like American Horror Story, but wasn't received well apart of the franchise. As a standalone, it's good, but everyone wanted Michael back.
This is the OG not only of the Halloween franchise ... when you say "Oh that reminds me of .... " this is where that movie took it from. And ... Have fun watching the franchise. The history is ... interesting LOL. And THANK YOU for ignoring the Rob Zombie Halloween movies ... because ... just ... ugh lol
Now you gotta check out Halloween II (1981). It continues on the same night, right after this one. This is one of the greatest films of all time, it's in the congressional library's film registry board. It's a list of films deemed "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant" that are recommended for preservation by those holding the best elements for that film, be it motion picture studios, the Library of Congress and other archives, or filmmakers. Around 850-860 films on that list, out of millions made. Carpenter wrote Myers to be the actual boogeyman. He said he's a human, but he has a supernatural edge. He was only gonna do this one film, and the ending was supposed to scare people as it implies that you can't kill the boogeyman, with them showing all the places he's been in the movie, and his breathing getting heavier. It suggests that he can be everywhere, and nowhere. Another fun fact is that the movie cost $325,000, half of it went to the camera and lenses. The Loomis speech in the Myers house about how he has the darkest eyes, the devil's eyes was true. John Carpenter said his class like 10-12 years before the movie went to a field trip to a mental hospital in Kentucky. He dais he met a boy around 11 or 12 who had black, cold yes with no emotion, or soul behind them. He said as soon as he looked the boy in his eyes he got goosebumps and it was maybe the most scared he has ever been, also just like Myers he never talked. He used that kid as a basis for Myers. The credits always confused people, myers age 23 that guy was ONLY myers when his mask got taken off, they just wanted his face shot. Age 6 is right, but under that you will see the shape (that is what they call him in every movie credit) is Nick Castle. That guy played him 99.9% of the time.
I think the idea was that Michael went after Laurie because she was a babysitter, which is what his sister Judith was supposed to be doing, and take him trick or treating, but instead she reneged to be with her boyfriend. He thought Laurie would do the same with Tommy like his sister did with him, but he was mistaken, because unlike Laurie's friends who were having sex and drinking instead of babysitting, she was actually doing it, which, philosophically, made her pure and the strongest of them all.
Glad you guys are gonna watch this iconic and long franchise 😂. When I was a kid I had a crush on Michael Myers 😅. It's true that the pace is slower than what we're used to with horrors and pretty corny, but keep in mind Halloween was the first to portray the superhuman/possibly supernatural solo serial killer with an iconic face. Before Jason, Freddy, Ghostface, etc., there was Michael Myers.
@@punkem733 So you're just gonna disregard everything else I said? 😂 I said it's iconic and the first to do what it did. Because it is the first to do a lot of movie tropes, it seems corny to us who grew up with so many movies that copied it. I know the movie is great, doesn't mean it isn't corny now.
@@kal3998 Never heard it called corny, just found that funny. The tropes in this movie with the kids who do drugs and drink, and have sex dying was a coincidence that other slashers took to heart. Carpenter, and Debra Hill have said they never intended that message.
The thing about Michael Myers is that he doesn’t have a reason to kill. He just does it. That’s why he’s so spooky. We want to understand why serial killers do what they do, but he doesn’t any reason.
While I don't hate the Rob Zombie movies like some do, I really think his biggest mistake was giving Michael a reason for killing, at least the first few kills (and some of the later ones since the strip joint, he goes into was exploiting his mom having been a stripper there). He's dangerous sure, but he isn't anywhere near as scary as Carpenter's Michael.
@@jacquelinecallejas1390Making Michael too human was a huge sin on Zombie's part. Michael was a normal kid originally. His parents were the average suburban types.
As a kid, you appreciate the reveal of why Michael does what he does in further sequels. As an adult, you realize how disturbing it is that originally in Carpenter's vision, there truly was NO REASON he does it. He simply ACTS out of a sick, twisted mind.
This is my favorite Slasher franchise and this is the peak of low budget films. Seeing modern people watch this and especially ones who have seen other horror films of the modern era is big lesson. That people watch this without the understanding this set the standard that became the tropes of today. Also because it was the first masked slasher it didn’t rely on constant action/kills instead tension and suspense. Also you learn who appreciates a film with excellent atmosphere or not.
So there’s different timelines 1,2,4,5,6,6 Producers Cut “Gotta watch The Producers cut and regular part 6” Then 1,2,7 “H20”,8 Rob Zombies Halloween H2 Rob Zombies Halloween 2 Halloween 78,2018, Kills, Ends That’s it for now
Denise from Fan Pops Michael The Shape Myers is/was originally designed/made 2 be an almost Supernatural Force (Superhuman Physique (Superhuman Durability & Superhuman Arm Strength of unknown degree/limit) that's/who's Supernaturally Edged) a virtually indestructible/unkillable/unstoppable Evil Force of Nature that's/who's loose!
Good reaction. Just so you know: Michael focused on Laurie and Tommy, because they were the first 2 people he encountered, upon returning to Haddonfield...AND, because they both came to his childhood home, and Tommy resembled his 6-year-old self, while Laurie (aged 17) strongly reminded him of his older Sister, Judith. There's significance in the little song that Laurie sang (written by John Carpenter, specifically for the character of Laurie Strode), while she walked away from The Myers House, down the street...it was a foreshadowing of the last 2 minutes of the film...the movie essentially is all about Laurie and Michael being a doorway apart at the beginning, and being in hand-to-hand combat to the death at the very end...as Laurie said (not fully knowing WHOM she was actually addressing) in The Wallace House, "You'll be sorry..." By that point, when Laurie removed his unique Halloween mask, he truly was...Laurie Strode, unlike Judith, wasn't the easy final kill he thought she'd be... Happy Halloween.
It's the 'lack' of explanation, that makes this such a classic. This is where the modern versions, get it wrong. Explaining everything, and overdoing the gore and cheap effects. Halloween is the horror movie, that launched a thousands ships. Friday the 13th. Nightmare on Elm Street. Scream. All derivative of this masterpiece. 45 years later, and Halloween is still peerless.
I find the comment about Scream interesting. Faster paced, probably, but to me its cornier than Halloween. Halloween was the number on grossing independent film for a very long time (Until Blair Witch). Made for 300 K, grossed 70 million in 1978, about 334 million today's dollars. Not convinced Scream is a step up. As an author, one is always trying to build suspense in their stories, appreciate how John Carpenter wrote the book on it when making Halloween. I did like the original Scream as well, now all the Screams are just a "who done it." Good review.
That's funny how you got the Michael funko pop above the Batman one Michael does some Batman stuff in this really the overall idea Bruce had in Batman begins of becoming Batman putting on a mask becoming A symbol something more than a man using fear on people lots of what they say in that take out Batman put in Michael or the shape and it all fits especially if you've seen the new ones Laurie really trying to break it down that's he's just a man in a mask and its the fear you have of him that gives him the power and plus those ninja Batman skills he got to disappear and appear really fast and being so strong and seems invincible but maybe he's got like Batman and got protection lol or maybe he could be possessed like in exorcist or supernatural and the thing in him don't care what you do to the body shoot it stab it he'll keep coming or it still can be a demon but not supernatural its a demon from the brain or subconscious that took over him like the id or something with mental illness lol
There is a reason for why he follows Laurie that's explained in H2. It is given an even deeper explanation in H6 The Curse of Michael Myers. However, in H7 H20, only N1 and H2 matter. That is until H9 Halloween (2018), at which time H2 is no longer canonical.
Someone goofed in the credits , he was not 23 but 21 Loomis said 6 year old boy. Add 15 and he's 21 Part 2, Loomis says Michael is 21 Also, "The Shape" aka Myers was played by Nick Castle
I was born in 1963, growing up in the seventies we never liked our windows and never locked our doors. We will never robbed and I don't know of anyone who ever was. It was a different time the neighbors were allowed to spank me and my brother if we did anything wrong. Then we get spanked the environment for embarrassing her. And my friends parents were the same way. Sounds crazy, kids didn't act anything like they do now. Anyway I hate fast paced movies, it's too much everyone nowadays wants to do everything instantly. There is no slowing and down and enjoying the things around you. Even movies and your entertainment has to be fast or you lose interest.
First congratulations on knowing that the real Anabel doll is a Raggedy Ann doll. Now the reason that movies like this are slower is a Robert Englund once said movies back then. To the time to treat the characters as actual characters. So they let you get to know them before the shit hits the fan thats how he put it. That way you actually got to like the characters or hate the characters. So when people start to die you have the one's you want to live an die. Unlike the newer movies where they are treated more or less as body's for the body count. So you hardly get to know them to get to like them or hate them before the killing starts. Here's the basic deal with Halloween 3 season of the Witch. This comes directly from the audio commentary with one of the writers an the director of the movie. On the Shout/Scream Factory Collector's Edition of Halloween 3 season of the Witch. On the audio commentary with Tommy Lee Wallace one of the writers an the director of the movie. He clearly says that the movie was written from the start to be a completely separate movie called Season of the Witch. It was not supposed to be apart of the Halloween movie franchise whatsoever. It was supposed to be its own separate movie from the start. Here's how it happened the movie studio got a script or screenplay called Season of the Witch. They read it an seen it had nothing to do with the other movies or Michael Myers in any way shape or form. The movie studio then appeared of it but then told John Carpenter that. The movie studio would not fund a movie called Season of the Witch in any way shape or form. If they wanted the movie studio to fund the movie they would have to call it Halloween 3. The movie studio point blank said no Halloween 3 in the name or title then no funding an no movie whatsoever. So John Carpenter an Tommy Lee Wallace had no choice but to reluctantly agree to call it Halloween 3. Because it was the only way the movie studio would agree to fund the movie. But if it was up to John Carpenter an Tommy Lee Wallace the movie would of been made under an advertised as an released under the original name Season of the Witch. So that's how that all happened it doesn't fit in or belong with the rest of the movies. Because it was never supposed to be apart of the Halloween movie franchise. Because it was originally called Season of the Witch with a story that was completely separate from. The Halloween movies but the movie studio interfered an forced John Carpenter an Tommy Lee Wallace to call it Halloween 3. Because the movie studio wanted another movie in the Halloween movie franchise. So they didn't care if it had a completely different story because the movie studio. Just wanted another Halloween movie that's like how Halloween 2 happened. John Carpenter only planned for one movie with Michael Myers one an done. Then you never see or hear of Michael Myers ever again. Then the movie studio interfered they told John Carpenter we the movie studio are making Halloween 2 its going to be about Michael Myers. We will make it with or without you but remember you are still under contract with us. This is backed up by two audio commentaries with John Carpenter himself one on the Blu-ray of Halloween an the other on the Shout/Scream Factory Collector's Edition of Halloween.
As someone who grew up on 'Halloween,' I've always found the 'Scream' series and its need to constantly make fun of itself and the whole genre at least as corny as you find this one for being old and slower-paced. Those movies are fun but I can't say any of them has ever really scared me. Similarly, I thought the extra humor added into the three more recent 'Halloween' films was jarring and undercut the horror.
In this particular film The Shape never has a clear motivation as to his pursuit of Laurie Strode. She was selected by him at random. John Carpenter and Debra Hill intended for the character to be this way, as it was part of his original design as an antagonist.
You only have to watch first one for the 2018 all the way up to ends and then the other movies is a different timeline but then you also have to react to Rob zombies Haloweeen lol there’s a lot of different timelines and on top of all that we most like will have a new timeline with Miramax shopping around the rights to the Hallowe’en franchise 🖤😩 it’s a lot
3:08 wow, Judith Myers' boyfriend was a minuteman apparently. I hope he was able to at least provide her with a decent length x girth ride if it was such a short ride time.
Others already commented about the different timelines. And maybe someone said this too, but let me add: from the thorn timeline the sixth movie has two very different versions. The theatrical and the producers cut. I prefer the later
The shot of his parents just standing looking at him after he killed his sister at the beginning of the movie is supposed to be a freeze framed affect…that’s why there not moving or running into the house etc….
