Howdy folks! I posted last week about a great Halloween III haul I had in Ohio! Here’s the full collection! If anyone has a bigger collection (or any collection for that matter) I’d love to see it!! If you have any questions feel free to ask!! :)
I know the RZ movies are hated, but I promise this isn't ragebait - I genuinely love them.
I’m a big fan of both of these franchises, and it’s honestly crazy to think we almost got this crossover. Quentin Tarantino was reportedly considered for Halloween 6, and I genuinely believe his version would have been incredible.
Given his style, he could have brought a much more intense, character-driven, and stylized approach to the Halloween universe. The combination of his storytelling and that franchise’s tone would have been something truly unique and unforgettable.
Does the theater experience make a difference for your enjoyment of the film?
I haven’t seen a Halloween film in theaters yet, but if the next one is good, I might go see it.
Like it or not, which most people don't like it, but Ends and specifically Corey was *way* more brutal than Michael. What Corey did to the bullies and Willie the disc jockey, cutting off his tongue and setting the whole place on fire is more brutal than what Michael ever did with the exception of the RZ movies, but a lot of it was off screen in the first one. Ronnie, Steven and Judith were all brutalized.
Why does he do this ? 🎃🔪
If someone dug a deep pit or lured Michael Myers to a deep pit could they stop him by luring him to it and allowing him to fall inside or by pushing him into it causing him to get stuck inside?
Michael isn't a climber and a deep hole or pit could hold him prisoner especially if someone left him there for weeks or a month to die of starvation, maybe an easy way of killing him.
Michael Myers always does so well in a small town like Haddonfield where he stalks his victims and kills them in stealth, it would be pretty funny to see Michael finding out that Laurie or Jamie or someone else was alive and living in seclusion in Chicago or New York, then he drives there wearing a mask but is noticed quickly and also has to deal with road rage and mobs of people constantly walking around.
Michael might enter an apartment building and kill someone but quickly is caught or noticed after they scream and dozens of people hear him and react, or he chases a victim into a restaurant or park and lots of people are there to get in his way and interfere with his killing, Jason had tough time in Manhattan and Michael Myers would attract major attention fast even if he ditched his mask and pretended to be a normal person.
There are also a lot of tough city people, gangs and local criminals, hookers and drug dealers and armed random people that would get in his way and fight back and make problems for him, Michael going after the Bloods, Crips or Latin Kings on their own turf might cause him to become victim of a drive-by shooting, and if he killed anyone in the Mafia it's a really bad day for him too unless he kills everyone that they send after him, forgetaboutit.
I was watching the scene in The Punisher recently where the Russian dressed like Where's Waldo gets hit in the face by a pan full of frying liquid that burns the hell out of his face, basically a lucky situation where Frank Castle grabbed it out of desperation and threw it at the Russian blinding him and burning him badly.
This stopped the attack in its tracks, assuming that Michael attacked someone in the kitchen who was cooking and had a pot on the stove would the person be able to stop him by throwing boiling water or liquid onto his face?
The mask would protect him a little bit but still burn him like crazy and his eyes aren't protected but he usually shrugs most injuries off anyway, getting burned by boiling water would suck but he basically shrugs everything off no matter what.
Happy Happy Halloween...

I don’t think it’s in any movie that I can remember. It looks like a different irritation of the original mask mixed with H6 mask does anyone know where this came from?
Can’t say I’ve seen anyone mistake Jason for Michael. It’s always the other way around.
I know H20 technically follows both Halloween and Halloween II, but honestly every time I watch it, it feels way more like a continuation of the first movie.
The ending of the original Halloween leaves things open enough for that. Michael gets shot, falls off the balcony, then disappears. That’s classic “the boogeyman is still out there” stuff.
But Halloween II ends with Michael literally walking out of an explosion completely on fire before collapsing. Laurie sees it herself. That ending feels WAY more final than the first movie ever did, which is why H20 always feels a little weird to me continuity-wise.
What’s strange is that H20 does acknowledge Part II happened. John mentions Laurie seeing Michael burn, and during the opening title sequence there are newspaper clippings showing Laurie in the wheelchair after the hospital attack. So the movie clearly wants us to remember Halloween II happened.
But then Michael shows up looking mostly normal. No real burn damage, no severely scarred hands, nothing that really makes him look like someone who survived being engulfed in flames.
The movie also barely talks about the actual hospital massacre itself. Outside of the sibling reveal and the explosion, it almost feels like H20 treats Michael like he vanished after Loomis shot him at the end of the original movie.
Even the tone feels closer to the first film. It strips away all the Thorn cult stuff and just focuses on Laurie’s trauma and Michael coming back after her. Honestly, it almost feels like a prototype for what H18 eventually did years later.
