These 5 intros all represent something to do with the movies they open and the franchise as a whole. John Carpenter's Halloweeen: The pumpkin's face is simple and straightforward but is emotionless just like the murderer Michael Myers who kills indiscriminately and stoically. The score also reflects this by being simple and creepy without emotion. Even the font represents it by being simple and creepy. Rick Rosenthal's Halloween II: The pumpkin's face is more detailed and an actual prop with a skull inside is seen at the end which represents the film’s higher budget allowing for more blood and violence compared to its predecessor. The score also reflects the higher budget by using more instruments and rising in tone as the score goes on. The font even represented it by being similar but different at the same time. David Green's Halloween: The pumpkin starts out decomposed only to recompose itself into a resculpt of the original 1978 emotionless pumpkin which represents how after 3 unsuccessful timelines, this film returned the Halloween franchise to basics. The score also reflects this by being a rescore of the original theme that hypes up the return of the Shape or Michael Myers being who it was truly meant to be; an emotionless killer or the personification of pure evil who kills indiscriminately just because he can. Even the font being the same as John Carpenter's Halloween reflects that this film is a requel to it which I say it did an excellent job with. Halloween Kills: The 12 pumpkins shown here represents all the Halloween movies up to that point and the film being the most bloody, gruesome, and violent film in the franchise (next to the Zombieverse duology that is). The 12 pumpkins are also lit on fire which fits the theme of the film to a tee. Like all the other Halloween films, the score fits this as well by playing possibly the most demonic and somber version of the main Halloween theme up to this point. The font which is the same as Rick Rosenthal's Halloween II represents how it's plot is similar in showing Michael Myers continuing his murder spree while Laurie was at the hospital with many key differences. The blood coming out of the eye of the first pumpkin even references Rick Rosenthal's Halloween II. I'd even daresay it acts as a requel to that film in a way. Halloween Ends: The 6 pumpkins represent the theme of the entire film (as well as John Carpenter's Halloween) which is how evil never truly dies but just changes shape. It is reflected by the later 5 pumpkins tearing through the previous one and appearing more and more devilish until the last one appears. While it appears normal at first, it splits open to reveal a bloody center representing something darker and more sinister than any of the demonic pumpkins that came before it. Combining the creepy sounds from John Carpenter's Halloween, the advanced music from Rick Rosenthal's Halloween II, the hype factor from David Green's Halloween, and the demonic feeling from Halloween Kills, it would be a perfect score to the last film of the Halloween franchise if this film ends up being it. The font being the same as Halloween III: Season of the Witch shows how different a feel this film is from a typical Halloween movie like that film was. Rather than being a big bloodbath by Michael Myers, it explores what John Carpenter's Halloween was truly about. The film even comes off more as a mix of elevated horror and slasher horror which is the stuff I truly adore. The little things like this really help to give a film franchise or any it's identity.
Halloween Kills was the first movie I saw post quarantine and a perfect selection! Super intense and had us on the edge of our seats ! And the theme? Perfection! I went with my mom as we would go to the movies up to twice a month prior to the pandemic , so it was a fun and spooky way to resume our tradition
I dont understand the hate for it, it was a amazing sequel, Michael was unstoppable and brutal, and was still connected to the original with the best mask and ogs returning, witch every fan moaned for during the resurrection and zombie years. And don't get me started on amazing that flashback was.
2018 is easily the most underrated one. The enhancing of the original theme and the clever trick of reversing the footage of a rotting pumpkin to signify a reboot is perfection
ehhhhh i disagree. it's never sounded right to me, it's always sounded off and I've always preferred the piano of the original, but I'm pretty sure it's entirely a me thing here
The segue into the Halloween II theme is superb. The score itself is haunting. I remember seeing it in the movie theater in 1981 after seeing Halloween two days earlier when it aired for the first time on NBC-TV. I was 11 y/o and scared senseless. What a great time.
I was so sad when I saw Michael dies on Halloween ends, I ended up happy knowing that there is a chance that there will be a new serial killer. Y'all might think I'm crazy but Michael is my idol, although I would never trace his steps
HALLOWEEN (1978) 🎃🔪 A pumpkin appears, and ends at a close up of its eye & nose, which happens to be a picture of Michael Myers holding a kitchen knife HALLOWEEN II (1981) 🎃🔪 A pumpkin closing in, and then cracks open, revealing a skull inside HALLOWEEN (2018) 🎃🎃🔪 A squashed pumpkin reverse decomposing, and once again, ends at a close up of its eye & nose, which is Michael Myers holding a knife HALLOWEEN KILLS (2021) 🎃🎃🎃🔪 12 Jack O' Lanterns appearing one after the other, which happen to be the 11 stories of Michael Myers, and reaches our latest one, Number 12 HALLOWEEN ENDS (2022) 🎃🎃🎃🎃🔪🔪 Three things: One - A pumpkin appears, and then another comes in, bursting straight through, over and over again, which is a message saying: ''Evil never dies... it changes shape'' Two - With the credits in blue instead of orange, it's a reminder of Halloween III: Season Of The Witch And Three - With the blank pumpkin that shows up last, it doesn't change its shape... Instead, it tears itself apart, which lets us know, that this... is where Michael Myers, The Halloween Serial Killer of Haddonfield, Illinois, finally ends
I hate Halloween ends but it has my favorite theme of any Halloween movie and I really like the season of the witch lettering. I get they were trying to make an anthology style movie but it just didn’t work and definitely shouldn’t have been made at the end of a trilogy.
Todas las calabazas son icónicas, pero sin dudas mi película favorita es la 1, mi tema preferido es de Halloween Kills y mi calabaza preferida es la de Halloween Ends
If you ask me, they should’ve used the Ends opening and theme for Kills, and the Kills opening and theme for Ends. The one with the pumpkins opening up to reveal different pumpkins is perfect for Kills, as it shows that Michael always has a trick up his sleeve, and just when you think that he’s out of moves, his evil keeps him in the fight, which would’ve been a great foreshadowing for the last 10 minutes of the movie. The intro and theme for Kills is very pensive and funeral-esque, with the burning pumpkins symbolizing something dying, and the music sounding almost like a funeral choir singing, which is perfect for a movie that basically tells the viewer with its title that Michael’s reign of terror is finally coming to a close.
I’ve seen parts 1 & 2 every year, but just realized this opening scene reminds me of how evil operates. Looks innocent & harmless from afar or the outside, but it’s true nature is revealed when you come closer.
Just got my final movie Halloween ends my entire completion is complete from the original Halloween 1978 up to 2022 all on blueray much easier to keep than DVD
Even thought it’s not a good movie you should have included Halloween 5’s pumpkin intro. Probably the best one in the entire franchise. The ONLY good thing about that movie 😂
I know it’s not the same but doesn’t Halloween 3 count as a pumpkin intro. Also part 5 could count as well? Although I admit that’s not quiet the same as even 3.
Important fact the first pumpkin you see in kills is from the original second movie and why you ask me? Because the blood tear when Michael got shot on his right eye
I always liked that one. But the way they constructed it, you didn't really get a good look at it 'til the end. I especially liked the music...starting very subtle, and growing in intensity...
With how awful Halloween Ends was to me, it makes me appreciate Halloween Kills a little more. Why? Because Halloween Kills stayed with that gruesome theme from Halloween 2018 while Halloween Ends is just another run-of-the-mill love story.
Pra. Mim os melhores diretores de halloween são esses aí. 1 Jhon carpenter esse e querido demais 2 David Gordon Green. Fez um halloween perfeito 3 Rosental o h2 e bom pra mim 4 eo. De hll 4 5 Kevin wiliason com a ideia de h20 6 vem o Rob zombie o pior diretor dessa franquia. Medalha de merda pra ele E isso fim
@@KremProductions i don't know. the film is just bad . my firend told me that the film is bad and he has seen it. and my friend and i have the same opinion abour films
Original Halloween is the best, always will be. I love the cast and how you have a bunch of wild teenagers and doctor Loomis who is kind of the most sensible one in the movie. I thought it was interesting how Donald Pleasance originally said he didn't know why he agreed to do the first one, and then was in how many sequels.
