Halloween H20: Twenty Years Later (1998) | Commentary | Movie Reaction 

Laurie scream "Michael" while she`s holding an axe and walking up to the school was awesome to see and the ending in this movie was amazing.

In the world of youtube horror there’s plenty of H20 bashing. Between Alanda, David (one day with his reaction), and now Nick we finally get positive H20 reactions. I’m here for it! 🎉🎃🔪

Nick's earnest enthusiasm for this franchise is contagious! I didn't fully appreciate the movies as a kid, but after watching all his Halloween videos where he shares lesser-known production details (like here where he highlights Janet Leigh's "maternal" moment with Jamie Lee or the Psycho musical sting as she walks to that '57 Ford), he's really opened up my eyes to the series' charm. Another banger video, as always.

Your wealth of knowledge on this franchise in particular is bordering on genius and full on bananas. Watching your videos is not just laughs and a fun time, it’s educational!✌🏻💖

YASSS!! The time has come. H20 is the Halloween movie I've seen the most. I was obsessed with it (I mean, also, my boo LL is in it so....yeah). The trilogy is definitely 1, 2, and H20...periodt! ❤️ Rewatch time! Happy spooky season, y'all! Love ya, Nick!

We always look forward to nicksaysboo's film commentaries/reactions. His bright energy could literally light up an entire room in any given moment. He sure has a knack for entertaining us the best he possibly could.

I love H20. I still remember seeing it in the theater at age 7 and thinking it was the best movie in the whole world.

I didn’t know anyone loved this movie as much as I did until today. I agree this is the definitive Halloween sequel and the tone is way more in line with the original. My biggest problem with Kills was how out of character Michael felt. It was like they put Jason Voorhees in a Michael Myers costume. I still get chills when Laurie screams Michael while she’s holding the ax. Iconic!

Finally! Was delighted when Alanda watched this, and now it's great to see you react to it too. :)

I grew up on the halloween franchise so these movies will always hold a special place in my heart

I say the lines in Silence of the Lambs like you do for this movie, I can't help myself!! LOL Love your reactions and can't wait to see more! 💜💜💜

This was the first Halloween film I ever saw and I think it’s my favorite Laurie/JLC performance!! She’s nothing short of iconic 😌

It’s spooky time! I’m so ready for the best month of the year and this is a great start. Thank you for your reviews☺️

Fun fact, alot of the scene music from H20 was taken from scream, the scene when Molly and John are running from Michael, it's the same score Sydney is running to through the field when she escapes the news van in the first scream.

18:33 Doesn’t the inclusion of Scream 2 in that scene kind of break this movie’s reality? Because if Scream 2 exists in this universe, then so does the first Scream, which directly references and shows the first Halloween movie.

Yesss, i so agree that these three movies are the best time line! H20 is such a comfort movie for me, it's Michael Myers + 90's slasher vibes its the perfect movie!!

What's interesting is the little girl with the mom plays Shannen Doherty's younger self in Charmed as Prue.

This was a household classic for me growing up! Me and my Sister know this film word for word!!!

i remember going to see this in theaters and the crowd was all into it, i couldn't help but yell out YESSSS when laurie yells out MICHAEL!!!!.

Yesss, this is still my favorite Halloween film (was the first one I ever saw) and it’s a yearly staple for me. Jodi Lyn’s death (dumbwaiter crushing leg/strung up on light) is probably my favorite kill in the franchise as well.

OMG. So happy I found your channel. So good watching an actual fan react to this gem rather than watching Halloween for the ‘first time’ reactions.

One of my top favorites from the franchise 🥰

Thank you so much for this, this is my end to the series. I've never even seen the next one because this was so perfect. I adore this film and I'm glad you give it so much love and I'm not alone in its appreciation. Also your comment on your manila folders that you kept reminded me that in high school i had a black binder that i had clippings from newspapers and Fangoria magazine of all my favorite horror films that i carried around to relive them before i could own them... Mid 80's that it was. Your excitement is infectious, thanks!❤❤

I haven’t seen it in years and honestly remembered not liking it as a kid and watching your reaction and sorta rewatching it years later it is SO much better than I remember

"So you've done some beheading in your time" - Xander to Buffy in The Harvest

12:04 Fact that probably most people know: Josh actually battled the hair department because they wanted him to look like a heart throb, but he wanted the realistic messy high school look of that era. So he would wear beanies and cut his own hair to look bad.

The nurse is actually screaming "IN HERE GODDAMMIT - !"

Hey, Nick! Finally got around to this one after watching your previous commentaries on the original _Halloween_ and _Halloween II_ back-to-back and I loved all three of them! Not only because these videos are always very fun and relaxing, but also because I got to learn so many fascinating new details about the franchise and these three films in particular. Honestly, you point out and explain so many interesting things that I felt like I was with an executive producer or a screenwriter giving me a tour around the set! Great job! Regards the franchise overall, I am very interested in the current timeline, the first one is definitely the best, but I am definitely guilty of having a weak spot for H20 as it was the first _Halloween_ film I ever watched back in the '90s (Although I cannot remember if it was on TV or VHS.). Even not knowing much about the characters or the setting, I liked it very much, as it had so many iconic scenes; I see many in the comments point out the one where Laurie screams Michael’s name, but personally for some reason the most memorable scene to me was when they lock eyes through the glass and Laurie looks so utterly terrified (as was I!) for a single moment. Also, just because I have them on my mind currently, here is some random stuff I thought you might find interesting to answer in your upcoming Q&A, in no particular order: the best horror film OST; your favorite monster movie; your _least_ favorite final girl; have you ever walked out or stopped in the middle of the film you didn’t like; and which ‘classic’ horror you think deserves (or deserved?) no remakes or reboots.

Note to self: Do not watch Nicksaysboo while at work. Cracking up laughing gets you stares.

I really liked H20. I much preferred it to 2018. I know most people feel the other way, but I love it. I also thought it was a very satisfying end to Michael.

Great to see some recognition for that amazing John Ottman score (even with the usual Weinstein thing of replacing some of it with Beltrami).

Nick Thank you I wanted Zzavid to react to this but it's even better when you watch it

That scene from Scream 2 outright confirms a version of the Halloween film franchise AND Jamie Lee Curtis, both exist in the H20 timeline. Halloween 1978 is pivotal to Scream's third act. And this allows Halloween III to retroactively also fit into this timeline, since in H3 the OG film also existed as a movie! The way this could work in-universe is Laurie Strode sold the rights to her life's story before faking her death, allowing her to have enough money to rebuild her life with newborn John.

Lol don't feel bad, Nic! I was reciting the movie quotes right with ya! This is why no one watches the Halloween franchise with me...I can quote 90% of them lol

OMG...as many times as I've seen this movie...I never realized that was Jumanji's young Alan! WOOOOW

The one thing about the fall I miss is walking to school always holding books in my arm like Laurie and fantasizing I was her for that one month. 😂

I remember my mom being super hyped for this because she watched the original back in the day, Mike getting his head chopped off was so satisfying for her, she turned to me and said "about damn time" I was a horror kid and was a junior in high school and this, scream, and I know....last summer were my jams, I rented them constantly and recorded them on vhs when they showed on Cinemax.

Another great movie review! This had me laughing from beginning to end! It’s great to see someone appreciate this movie instead of bashing it. Job well done Nick!

H20 is a lot of fun, and also one of my favorites of the franchise. The cast is great, JLC looks fantastic with short hair, and LL is always hilarious in a horror movie (Deep Blue Sea baby!). With a few changes to Halloween 2018, this could have been a movie within the Halloween universe about Laurie and Karen (with a gender flip to protect a minor) and a dramatic ending (while Michael just went back to prison). Missed opportunity.

Omg this reaction was everything 😂

Happy Halloween Season, Nick What a great way to start off my favorite time of year!

Percodan is/was Percocet but instead of Oxycodone and acetaminophen it’s oxycodone and aspirin. It was less popular because of the aspirin hate of the late 90s.

When he picked up those keys .....

i love H20 since i watched in the cinema! sarah`s death is iconic

Not a fan of H20, but know about your love for it so this should be a great review. Keep up the amazing work!

Ok, so I have to say this. I watch a lot of reaction videos since covid of 2020. And out of all the videos I have watched, I have only subscribed and religiously watch as soon as they post, and that is Alanda Parker. I have always dreamed of finding a gay reactor that felt genuine in what they were doing, and I gave up hope until I happened across your Death Becomes Her reaction. From that I fell into a hole (no pun intended) of watching your reactions and let me tell you.... I have never felt so connected to a reactor when it comes to not understanding stupid decisions, wanting certain people to just go ahead and die, etc. Those reactions you have alone solidified you as one of the best, but then the way you put in pop culture references THAT MAKES SENSE perfectly is the icing one the cake..... chef's kiss. BUTT, the cherry to top it off for me is that you are a Buffy fan who references the show in your reactions as well. I just wanted to say thank you. I truly hope you continue to get the success that you deserve. You have a loyal fan in me, and I have been forcing my friends to watch you.

my FAV of the franchise!!! thank you so much for reacting Nick! (and I too quote my movies as I watch em ;)

I hadn't seen H20 for at least 10 years between 2006 when I got rid of all my VHS tapes and probably 2016. I was impressed with how well I was still able to quote almost the entire thing. Speaking of movies which I can quote in their entirety, when is Elvira coming?

Halloween H20 is the REAL Halloween End's.

My favorites Halloween movies are 4 , 5 and 6. i'm so sad Dr loomis actor passed away he is my all time hero !

My first Halloween movie I saw when I was 10. Only recently watched the original. 🙈👍🏻 Watched 2018 and kills in the pandemic and I'm excited to see my first Halloween movie in the cinema, to witness the end of an era with JLC'S Laurie. How I watch Halloween movies 78,81&H20 or 78,2018,Kills, Ends(pending) I watched 4 last month, I enjoy that young girly too, she went through the most shame. Those are the only ones I like or enjoy.

Yesss!!!! Just starting the video but damnit H20 is so good and is also the conclusion of my holy trinity of Halloween movies as well!! When Laurie screams for Michael, OMG it's so bad ass!

Yay!!!!! Love the photo you used for the video. ❤❤❤❤

I still get goosebumps with this film 👀

I always thought Marian Chambers said “In here goddangit” but without YT grandma language 😂👍🏾

Just decided to subscribe to your channel today. Been watching your videos for a while.

Nick, I like your reactions really a lot I do, but as you know. When you got all Happy over Laurie swinging that Axe at the guy's neck & making him headless. It was not Laurie's brother Michael at all & you hear about it within the beginning area of Hallo'ween:Resurrection, the next movie that followed this one then.

Congratulations on the 10k subscribers! 🎉🫶🏻

Its just so good to see you being happy while watching a film 💞

"Michael" 🧡🖤🎃🧡🖤🎃

Nick: There was a lady screaming her head off in the theatre. Also Nick: It’s a fond memory for me. 😂😂😂 Also I’m yelling that you saw this in the theatre. Wouldn’t you have been A CHILD seeing this? I was not into horror as a child (it was too scary for me then) but I learned to appreciate the genre as I got older. 😂

This is absolutely one of my favorite movies!! I’ve watched it so many times!

I love the fire extinguisher bonk

I agree. '78, '81, '98 are the only three Halloween films worth watching. The rest are IP filler.

Man you are SO. ON. POINT! I love H20. I know it gets hate, but I loved it. And, yes, the SCORE is great and the opening is amazing. Ottman's score was officially released but it was called "Portrait of Terror". Released on Varese Sarabande records I believe. Another awesome score-related moment is when Janet Leigh shows up (Actual mother to Jamie Lee Curtis, and star of Psycho), once the car is shown which is the actual car FROM Psycho, there is a small moment where Ottman plays part of Herrmanns Psycho score. Very clever and a nice nod.

MY FAVORITE MONTH WITH MY FAVORITE NICK🥹🥰🥰🥰🥰

Really love H20 feels underated in my opinion they even use some of the scream music. If only resurrection wasn't made 😒

josh hartnett's hair was just like that lmao it was the same in the faculty, remember?

Percodan is like percocet (oxycodone), but instead of Tylenol it has aspirin.

This is another favorite of mines behind Halloween 2 lol . And damn my first movie I seen in the theater's was "Godzilla 1998" lol what a year

Hell yeah!!! It’s H20 time!!! 🎉🎉🎉

🎃 I agree that this is a much better portrayal of Laurie than the 2018 version. In this one, I felt like I was on an emotional journey with her whereas the new trilogy set her up in a kind of campy way, which can be fun, but doesn’t really follow the tone of the original. My opinion, tho. Btw, Love your channel!! 👻 🎃

My favorites are also Halloween 1978, Halloween 2 1981, and Halloween H20 I don't know why people don't like this movie anymore!! It makes me so mad!!

Awesome job Nick! 👍This one of my favorite Halloween movies 🎃👻

Happy October 1st Nick . Halloween H2O is one of my absolute favorite Halloween movie 👻💯 ...I can't wait to see the new one coming out 😃👍🏾

I adore H20 but I also love Halloween 2018.

love your knowledge and facts. especially the kevin williamson stuff

Congrats for about to hit that 10k😆🎃

cool halloween h20 : [1998] film -movie reaction !!!!

SAME SAME SAME SAME!! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!! ❤😊❤😂

Halloween 1, 2, 4,5, and h20 are the best

Like where he's laughing from getting stabbed in the leg lol. Yeah I seen that same with Josh his screaming is real lol. That's kind of stuff they'd do back in the day lol. We did in the trailer every time by time we saw movie we seen it bunch of times lol.

This is easily the best sequel. As is Scream 2. I only wish Halloween 18 picked up this thread. Laurie could have lost John because everything that happened here and turned her into the hermit. She could even have adopted that daughter in 2018 if you wanted to keep that plot line. But she could have been the character here and in 2018. We would only erase rightfully so Resurrection.

Cant wait for Halloween ends me and my friends will watch this movie first then l will react to you watching the movie

Awesome reaction and commentary. Are you going to do reactions and commentaries to other Halloween movies in the franchise? If so I would love to see them Nick. I look forward to the next one!

I like this one a lot including that she moved cross country however… Mike was stopping for gas with that mask on? 😂

This would have been such a great end to the series if they didn’t pull that bullshit switch for Resurrection. I love your absolute love for this movie! It’s so contagious! ❤ Also, I looked up Percodan and apparently it’s a pill that combines Oxycodone and Aspirin. Not sure why they would need that, unless in addition to be an alcoholic, Laurie also abuses pain pills?

Judith was also 17. I’m personally of the head-canon that this movie ends this timeline. Laurie killed him, no question.

This is my favorite Halloween film tbh by far scream is my favorite horror franchise by far then Friday the 13th this is much better than the new Halloween films I like them but this is the best but the burnt mask in the new one is my favorite Halloween mask your reviews are the best nick have you ever thought about doing live scream and Halloween podcast like craven something scary, kill joy Jake, zo carwford or podcast now Alex you show so do it look them up 💕

the memes lmaooo

Yeah trick or treat Michael lol

I am loving everything I'm seeing if yours started with the black phone watched that reaction at keast 15 times so far ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘😘

This is my family’s favorite Halloween film .

I'm a bit late but I can't wait for Halloween ends even if it's bad I'm still so excited especially because it's on peacock ooh

Halloween H20 favorite from the old franchise. Maybe a few errors, mistakes/nip picks but still a favorite. Really like the Halloween 2018, cause in a way, the tone felt like it never left from the first movie. TRAUMA. But really hoping an Avengers Endgame treatment and final bow down for Laurie Strode/Jamie Lee Curtis in Halloween Ends. (Major 90’s crush on Jonathan Taylor Thomas and Josh Hartnett)

Percodan is oxycodone & aspirin, in case no one answered that yet

Great start to Spooky Season - Thanks for your insight to one of the better films overall in the franchise.

Nick and zzavid quick reaction to always sacrifice kids needs to be studied

I've always wanted to see that school/house/filming location place...is it open to the public? I saw this three times in the theater. Weird kid.

I loved this movie. I loved the way a lot of them.... Not all.... Fought to live. And Michelle Williams with that fucking rock, that heave hoe grunt when she smacks him in the face.... Fucking aye.... Glorious.... Never gets old. This....this is how Halloween ended for me. I was completely satisfied with this. Period.
