r/Halloweenmovies

Thoughts..

I keep seeing this specific eye symbol everywhere on the Obsession merch. This single one stands out from all of the other ones because one symbol is used on a piece of merch, this one. Maybe I’m delusional and making a big deal out of nothing but idk.

I used to despise Halloween 4 strictly because of the mask 😅 That was many years ago. Now, I love this movie. Does the mask look weird? Yes! Do the shoulder pads look ridiculous. Hell yes! But the story is great and the score is even better 🎶 Here are some of the most awkward scenes of Michael Myers. Might be a hot take but I prefer Tom Morga’s portrayal of Michael over George P. Wilbur’s. Morga was on the slimmer side and moved more like the og Michael. George P. Wilbur is like an overweight unbalanced drunk Michael 🤣

I just finished all three of the 2018 trilogy novelizations and here are some thoughts. Halloween and Halloween Kills are more or less the same as the movies. Halloween makes it a point to describe how the Myers house was torn down and replaced with a community garden which becomes a scene of a gruesome dog killing calling back to the 78 movie.

The house is of course back in Halloween Kills that Big John and Little John live in. I’m guessing the novels were based on the screenplays before the movies were finished and they decided against the house being demolished. Halloween Kills was good also but was almost exactly the same as the movie. The main difference being a little more backstory and focus on the other escape mental patient that the mob confuses for Michael.

Halloween Ends is where it gets interesting. There are a lot of would-be added scenes and backstories including the homeless man “protecting” Michael outside the sewer. Him and every other character introduced gets a little backstory which helps the whole thing feel more coherent. There is a couple more Michael kill scenes so if you felt he was lacking in the movie, that should help. It is still very much a Corey Cunningham story though so if you didn’t like him, then I guess you still won’t like the book. It definitely gives the vibe that Ends had the most rewrites and changes before filming.

Basically what I’m saying is, if Ends was 8 hours long, it’d be a better movie lol.

Thoughts

The Dr. Lotus bang these Man-Shape 6 times in 1978 and these boy will posing like the model.

Why does these guy enjoy such a thing?

He survived and was memorable enough (atleast to me) and he could’ve returned at some point in 4-6 to help Loomis put a stop to Michael

I don’t think there would’ve been a place for him to return in H20 since it’s a Laurie centered story and set elsewhere but Resurrection could’ve worked if the movie had a better plot and wasn’t confined to the Myers house. Maybe he could’ve been the new Haddonfield sheriff

I know some frown upon it but supporting characters returning could work if done correctly. I think Kills is a good example of how not to do it (stuffing a bunch of returning old characters in a movie just for the sake of it which naturally leads to most of them being wasted.) It would have been better to spread them throughout the trilogy.

One of the few scenes in Halloween 4 where Michael’s mask looks decent! 😝 I used to bash on this flick (when I was a kid) strictly because of the mask. But now it’s one of my favorite movies in the franchise! And yea.. I’m watching this on a big ole Sony Trinitron in my garage 📺 📼
