Halloween II (1981) influence on Rob Zombie’s Halloween (2007) & Halloween II (2009)

It dawned on me how influenced Rob Zombie’s Halloween movies are by Halloween II and how he established the sibling thing in his first movie at the very beginning. It just speaks to how heavily embedded the whole “Michael and Laurie are siblings” thing had been within the cultural zeitgeist for so long that I think many people assume it was something they established within the first movie and not the sequel. Also the hospital dream sequence from his Halloween II could be seen as a reference/homage to Halloween II (1981) but i’m not sure if that was confirmed

Halloween (1978) is untouchable but Halloween II has been a hugely influential film within the franchise (for better or for worse.) 4,5,6, H20, Resurrection, RZH and RZH2 all build off of it and Halloween (2018) retcons it but there are still many references to it in that movie and especially Halloween Kills

Halloween H20 or Scream 7: Which One Has The Better Opening Scene

Both are seventh entries in their respective franchise, both opening scenes feel somewhat disconnected from the rest of their films and both take place elsewhere from the rest of their movie. Which opening scene do you think is stronger?

These two scenes from Halloween 4 & Halloween 6 always make me chuckle because of how oblivious these two guys are about Michael Myers and they both live in Haddonfield😂 like how could they not know

Do you think that Scream’s influence on Halloween H20 gets overblown or is it a valid observation? I ask because I’ve seen people raise both points

When you first watched FVJ was Jason’s portrayal (compared to classic Jason from The Final Chapter or The New Blood) a bit off putting to you or did you just roll with it?

It’s so crazy that they were considering this at one point. I get the pressure was on at the time with the topic of violent media’s influence on real life violence being at the forefront in the wake of Columbine but this would’ve been a huge mistake and I’m glad Wes stepped in and said something

can you realistically see Danielle Harris in the role of Jamie Lloyd as she was portrayed in Curse? Do you think it would’ve benefited the overall quality of the film or not made much of a difference at all .

Why does Halloween H20 get so much flack for exposing Michael’s eyes but Halloween II doesn’t

Funny how he looks almost identical in these two shots

one thing that halloween 4 & halloween h20 have in common is …

both were solid sequels (imo) that were terribly bogged down by significantly weaker follow ups (halloween 5 & halloween resurrection) that both pretty much immediately undid all the good that their predecessors had established to no good end. halloween 6 really stood no chance having to be a follow up to the mess that was halloween 5 and with 5 they could’ve went in so many different interesting directions with that breathtakingly chilling and shocking ending to halloween 4 but instead we got what we got (jamie is mute and they kill off rachel in a very dissatisfying manner and replace her with a much less likable character.) i would still argue that having the killer from h20 be a copycat myers would’ve been a much better explanation (admittedly still divisive amongst fans) than what we got in resurrection because it could’ve also been used as a way to explain why myers’ characterization in h20 was noticeably off (from the mask to the movements.) i don’t think the idea of killing off laurie in resurrection was inherently bad but it was definitely poorly executed and that’s where the main problem lies imo.

Would you have liked to see the remake spawn sequels instead of the prequel we got if they hadn’t backed themselves into a corner by chopping one of Leatherface’s arms off ? If things had went that way where do you think they could’ve went with things story wise?
