Man, "The Shape" is such a great name for a silent, menacing threat.
I'm disappointed that we never got a shot of Micheal Myers's silhouette
Beats "The Rake"
@@fuzzydunlop7928 the Creepypasta monster?
@@fuzzydunlop7928 idk the rake is pretty scary trope-wise
EverDownward I fucking love your pfp and your account
The Halloween cycle: they start to run out of ideas, so they wrap things up and try to end the series. Then people hear that it's the series finale, and tons of people buy tickets. The increased revenue then prompts studio heads to assume that people want a sequel, so they make one, it sucks, and the franchise dies, before they try to redo the "finale". From what I can tell, this happened several times.
If you're gonna turn a movie into a franchise, you should always try to make every installment interesting, if not original. Or better yet, *don't* make it a franchise. But then we would lose our precious MONEY
Law of diminishing returns. Even if the sequel only make half what the original made they still make millions.
problem is that there was no reason bring him back, Halloween 1 and 2 are best movies, bring back Micheal was just stupid
That's most movies 😂
@JOHN JOHN Yep. Partly because it was meant to be a finale. But when people came to see it, they decided to greenlight two more, which will probably not be nearly as good.
In the Multiverse somewhere, everybody understood what Jon Carpenter intended for an anthology after Halloween 2 and accepted Michael Myers was burnt to death. Many interesting stories around the supernatural origins of Halloween are explored and many different iconic horror figures are born.
Would have been sick

"Does he shoot knives?" I laughed way too much there. :D James' subtle humorous writing hasn't changed a bit since the early days.
this was posted in 2011
It's not really subtle.
Why do people on the internet misuse the word subtle so much? You can't actually think that was subtle, surely.
@@williampgalloway hehehehe👍
I like James' reviews of classic movies.He gives a brief summary of the movie,well thoughtout opinions and an overall understanding of the subject matter.
*Fun Fact:* The child actress who played Jamie Lloyd would later grow up to play Debbie Thornberry in The Wild Thornberry's
She’s also Annie in rob zombies halloween
1
And the goth roommate in urban legend
That's really cool
I really wish they'd gone ahead with their original plan of making the series an anthology after the second film. I've always thought the Michael Myers story should've ended with part 2.
3 got too much backlash from fans because they were expecting michael myers and didn't get it. 4 is my 2nd favorite in the series so i'm glad they brought him back.
Personally I just loved the third movie, an underrated Halloween classic for me
@@kazimierzliz8280 those kills are gruesome I also liked the 3rd one because like how James said it’s was original and unique and I like original ideas
@@Jack_80 The studio made a terrible mistake calling it "Halloween III." Of course people would expect Michael Meyers if was named that. It should have been called "Halloween Tales" or "Halloween Night" or anything else in order to distinguish it from the previous two films.
@@Tronathon242 I agree but I think it should have just been called Season of the Witch which of making that an anthology series with that title.
So they turned the Myer's house into a chiropractor house? Similar to that farmhouse in the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre where it's now a restaurant
Mister Who WHAT?
I dont know if I would want to eat there lol
So...
Eat local food and break your neck?
Cool i guess
i would totally want to eat there, hopefully it's a delicious massacre within a macabre setting.
Kind of creepy right? I don't know that whoever renovated that house is making it intentionally coincidental or not, imagine what the food is made out of
In an alternate universe, the anthology idea actually succeeded and Halloween I and II are looked back on as being like Pilot episodes of a TV Show.
I quite like the idea of a horror series that tells separate Halloween themed stories every movie. Shame they just wanted more Myers.
Halloween 4 is so underrated. Michael is lethal in that movie. The Sheriff is also a great character IMO. So was Rachael
In my opinion that film(Halloween 4 the return of Micheal myers) is way more better than Halloween 5 and 6.
Halloween V is also pretty entertaining
Gotta love the beer-bellied mob in their trucks too😂 that was a nice touch
And that chick that got stabbed with the gun was hotter than a supernova, the one that was with discount Kevin Dillan
That movie is the best Halloween sequel. It's just great as a self contained movie.
I don't know, I just love the intensity of the finale between Loomis and Myers in the second film. There's something awesome about their rivalry, Loomis is old and physically fragile, yet in his own way is just as irresistible a force as Myers himself. And just the utter conviction in Loomis as he says, "It's time Michael." Epic stuff, at least to me.
Loomis was a badass! Always strapped and willing to take on Michael even knowing how unstoppable he is. Easily my favorite character in the series and his presence is surely missed.
@@hashbrowns7188 Absolutely! I agree 500%.
Am watching it right now :)
They should make more out of that in the franchise.
I think it would be funny if in Zombies version they were watching the 1982 remake of The Thing.
IKR!!! Totally a missed opportunity.
Flash HarelKrash TOTALLY
I think the Kurt Russell 82 n the prequel are great to watch together in order of the thing universe chronology not real kife, so fucking good, the attention to detail to attach them is great! it's funny cuz u watch the prequel n you're like that was ok, then watch thing 82 n you're like man that was awesome which makes the prequel better which makes 82 better til my head explodes ahahahah
@@Clubber-Slang What are you talking about? The two Thing movies hardly synch up at all.
They added women, and non-Norwegians. The dogs looked nothing alike. Thermite wasn't used to uncover the ship, and they set it up so Gary shoots the wrong person.
Shame Zombies version was a complete insult to the series, appealing to retards I guess
Halloween3 sadly doesn't get the credit it deserves. it's a metaphor of how major corporations sells products that harms the consumers but the corporations only cares about their profits despite the deadly end result
I really tried to like H3, I like those kind of metaphors and anti-corporate messages in films. However, the acting and writing was just weak and I couldn't get into it. Has some decent imagery, but overall just felt like and elevated tv movie to me.
bee boo another person who thinks the cast being female was the problem with ghostbusters 2016, not the fact that it was a creatively bankrupt endeavor that captured none of the originals magic, ok buddy
It doesn't get CREDit because it stole the CREDibility of the Halloween Franchise by coasting on it & even having the gall to follow with "3" in the title.
@@jimthompson8947 I agree that it should not have used 3 in the title, but it probably made more money using it.
@SpadeVain Now, that's just a dumb way of thinking.
I like all the times Michael is just lurking in the shadows in the background in part one. You miss them sometimes, but it's always creepy knowing he could be back there watching you...
There's a horror movie called It Follows that has the monster in a lot of the background shots (it changes appearance and can only be seen by the person it's targeting or has targeted.) It also slowly walks and the whole movie has a Carpenter-esque feel.
@@pickles3128 It Follows was fantastic imo, the background details makes it worth rewatching multiple times
Being in the background and not having attention drawn to it is also a Slenderman thing, yet neither of the Slenderman movies make use of that idea at all. Very disappointing, like those movies as a whole lol.
@9:26 I disagree with James saying it "demystified" the original. I don't see it as that I see it instead as answering an unanswered question.
"Why is Michael so keen on killing Lori? What did she do to him or what connection does she have to him"?
That’s what these new gory Halloween movies are missing, the suspense and creepiness of catching Michael Myers in the background.
Jamie didn’t kill her step mother. In Halloween 5 dialogue reveals she survived as Rachel mentions her parents being alive and going to see them.
He edited the movie clips out if you guys wanna see the original look it up on cinemasacre
Halloween 1978 has been my favorite horror movie since I saw it when I was 8. The music and cinematography are top notch.
Totally! 👍😋😁
Yes!! Same here.
The original will always be the best by a landslide.
Didn’t know Peter Cushing was planned for this series, makes you wonder what these movies would’ve been like with him.... either way Donald pleasance is great in what we got
xxdarknight103xx I agree 🎃
Christopher Lee-aka-Count Dooku from STAR WARS EPISODES II & III-was asked to play the part of Dr. Sam Loomis but also turned it down, but later regret accepting the role, according to Debra Hill.
Halloween H20 in 1998.
Now, it's 2018.
Halloween H40?
K Trigs correct :)
Double the water?
Halloween 4K. Duh.
yeah and make it heavy water
Don't forget Halloween H10 in 1988. (And we almost had a Halloween H30, but alas, Rob Zombie didn't it release in 2008.)
😞
Showing Halloween to a friend who has never seen it tonight, I'm excited.
Matthew Litteral wow that is pretty rare! Have fun.
Power bottom
Halloween 3 is extremely underrated . I wish the series was an anthology like Carpenter wanted
Joey JoJo should not been called 3 tho had nothing with 12
Happy happy halloween Halloween Halloween happy happy halloween from silver shamrock!
Halloween 3 really is underrated it had gory kills
yeah I wish people appreciated the 3rd one more (I think the halloween series should've been different stories but I liked the 4th one)
@@dougprishpreed2540
Stop it.
Stop it.
Stop it.
Stop it!
🎃
"This Gang raped, bitch slaped, broken down mess of a franchise was finally over" that was so funny 😂😂😂
Lol
I miss James' raunchier humor. The F bombs and toilet humor from his recent videos don't have the same impact and feel hollow and more childish than before
Or so we thought......
"series" 😉
I can't believe how many times they changed this series backstory and killed Meyers Loomis and Laurie off only for them to return...props to not giving an f I guess even after making a third film without any of them lol...wow...what a weird series that will never be matched
Doctor Loomis is one of the most badass characters in film history.
"Its time, Michael"
*lights cigarette lighter*
I didn't care for the Michael Myers character until he starred in the Austin Powers movies.
Professor Fuzzymuffins Yeah baby yeah 👌
Fuck you Waynes World is awesome.
Shrek is love
I just find out mike Myers was offered a Cameo in h20 where he would walk by Laurie and she would double take but he turned it down due to the criticism he got for the name
Professor Fuzzymuffins That's actor Mike Myers you're talking about.
What better way to celebrate Halloween then to watch the Monster Madness series on Halloween. It was great to see the movie reviews individually, but to put them all together in one complete series video is just awesome. Thank James for sharing your thoughts and insights on this iconic horror series.
Halloween III's grown on me over the years. It's a pretty eerie and clever film when you just accept it as its own thing. Part II's my personal favorite though. i actually thought the hospital setting added ambiance. Pretty unnerving with a dying staff and the fact she only briefly is able to escape and seek help
Jamie didn’t actually kill her foster mom. She stabbed her but she survived.
well, that would explain why she got put into a children's hospital
Yep that’s made clear with the start of the 5th film
How did the foster mother survived?
@@abramsullivan7764 Guess Jamie wasn't as thorough as her uncle?
I have to say I was impressed by 3. They could have made a Halloween universe with lots of stories to tell, but instead we ended up getting Michael Myers back :c
the music in 3 is perfect! carpenter couldn't have made the same sound if it was about Myers in that one
You know what the most hilarious moment in Halloween 4 is? The moment in the school where the hair on Michael Myers’ mask magically turns white for a scene. I guess he was doing a brief shoutout to Ben Tramer there heh.
It was actually yellow
lol 😂😂
What’s more hilarious is loomis & Michael both surviving the ending of part 2
So Micheal Myers and the doctor got blown up and burnt they survive but Laurie dies
She died in a car crash after the fact
Ms Sports as far as I’m concerned, John carpenter wrote it so Myers and Loomis are dead. Blown to bits, done. Halloween 3 should of trucked with the anthology ideas, I feel the series would of been well more off in the long run.
gameroftheyear1000 John Carpenter also wrote and consulted heavily on Halloween 4.
@@Prof_Tickles92 he only wrote a treatment of H4 which the producers rejected.
They originally wanted to film a scene in the beginning of H4 where it showed Loomis being blow out of the room from the explosion, showing how he survived.
Before Halloween 2018, my head canon stopped at the ending if Halloween 4. The ending poetically wraps up the franchise where it started. Granted I do think the franchise works best with Michael having no explainable motive.
Halloween 3 scared the living shiz out of me as a kid. I still get that tv music stuck in my head when I'm slightly stressed.
Peace Biscuits happy happy halloween halloween halloween happy happy halloween silver shamrock
dun DUN dun Dun dun DUN dun DUN dun Dun....
Halloween 3 is one of the worst movies I've seen
Lmao
Run behind the Car of Shadows...
Good ole Michael, Jason, and Freddy.
Fun fact. Originally Sheri Moon Zombie was cast in a different role, but Rob made her Michael's mom because he needed a tall actress to be his mom to explain why Michael got so big.
That was one thing about the Rob Zombie version that was just strange to me. Obviously not including all the weird dream stuff in 2. Don't know how Rob got it in his head that Michael needed to look like a tank.
@@Roosterboi21 cuz some people like tall and huge dudes…makes em look cooler I guess 🤷♂️
Halloween III is borderline great. Worth watching and re watching
Actually, in Halloween 3, there is a Witch. The guy who owns Silver Shamrock is one. He states the killing of the kids is for or was for, their "Craft" or Witchcraft.
Warlock you mean.
ROBBIE RACER true
Honest opinion. The only way 6 could have been good is if they connected season of the witch to the curse of the thorn and have Cochran as the mastermind behind Michael
That wld've been crazy dope. good idea
H6 producers cut was brilliant. Read the books and you might appreciate it more.
THANK YOU!!! I've been thinking this for YEARS.
Yay! I'm not the only one.
They play the movie Halloween on a tv in 3, they can’t be in the same universe.
I wonder what James opinion is about the 2018 Halloween.
Jamie's actress is in the second Halloween remake if I ain't mistaken
Seriously, Michael must be like Wolverine with that healing factor.
I just realized, this was Ant-Man vs Michael Myers back in 95' !!! LOL
?
@@KevinLuper99 The main character in Halloween 6 is played by Paul Rudd who plays also Ant-man
:o
LOLOLOL SAME ACTOR IN DIFFERENT MOVIE WOW LOL SO COOL OMG
xSportacus I sure hope that was sarcasm.
James and Mike are fucking awesome , I love this channel and all the content in it.
james and mike>pewwhydontyoudiealreadypie nuff said
Dont forget the schlong!
Whether it be him being serious as a critic like this or AVGN where he’s just down right fucking crazy he’s so entertaining, James is just great
I saw Halloween 3 when I was a kid, I kept waiting for Myers to show up. It wasnt until I saw the trailer for Halloween on the T.v. in one scene that I realized that wasn't happening.
Loomis is such a good character.
I remember as a child, renting Halloween 3 from the library and being utterly dissapointed it didn't have Michael.
Robert Brunello wait what
Halloween III: Season of the Witch is still an underrated film. I didn’t like it as a kid either, but I learned to appreciate it for a standalone film over the years.
I was disappointed expecting to see Michael and it not happening. But not expecting him it's not horrible.
boba fett it’s like a4/10 stand-alone, maybe 5
The soundtrack for Halloween 3 kicked ass. As a standalone movie, a solid 7/10.
I'm glad Jamie Lee Curtis is coming back in the next one.
I think it's follow 1,2,H20, and this new one
she is? does that mean resurrection never happened?
Intimidation The new movie takes place after Halloween the original. They starting over from scratch which is stupid as all hell. The true Halloween fans just want Halloween 9 an not a remake or reboot again. Which their are doing 👿😳😡
*which* and *they're.*
TheSkullKlown I definitely don't want a follow up to Resurrection. It shoots the continuity to hell but its better than what they had.
This, Jason, and Freddy deep dive are by far my favorite videos that James has done. I have had them on in the background so many times while I did chores or cleaned my home or others. The reason for this is you don't have to very actively watch or listen to it exactly to enjoy it. I really wish he did more like Chucky or Leprechaun or others. James you are awesome.
Halloween + Halloween 2 + H20 = perfect trilogy
Totally
she never killed her step mother at the end of part 4 she only stabbed her, its explained in part 5 that she tried to kill her step mother by stabbing her
Loomis says, “He made you stab your step-mother!” And I have to a she is her “adoptive mother” not step. And then Rachel tells Tina that her parents are away because of the anniversary.
Wepp, Link shoots with a sword...
Only when he has full hearts
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
That was hilarious 😄😄
That was excellent! I was gripped and interested the whole video. Didn’t want it to end
It's kind of depressing how many times they've rehashed this.
of course Halloween on Halloween.
And the movies are playing all day on amc
Pie Pivotmontier-O Why not, right?
Non ches heap up jlid
You watch a lot of good content. I see you on Emplemon, Rebeltaxi, Numbere1 and now Cinemassacre. You got good taste.
Sergio Navarro desperate for bait sad really
Halloween 1 and 2 are my favorite horror movies
"his head came off it didnt look like he'd be coming back" that one got me for some reason lol
"hes a burning corpse! thats deader than hes ever been!".
*watches halloween ends*
"on second thought...".
For some reason, Michael's mask in 4 reminds me of Data from Star Trek TNG!
Hey that's so true!
Maybe they were trying to keep up the Star Trek tradition.
Hahaha Data has always reminded me of Michael Myers
His mask in 4 just looks constantly concerned for Loomis' well being
that's exactly what it was
Having two movies with Michael Myers before Season of the Witch is what made it so bewildering. Had the second Halloween movie been Season of the Witch, the anthology idea possibly could have taken off. But it's just unheard of to have two movies that are tied together, then introduce a part three and try to turn it into some kind of evolving series.
I always pretend Resurrection is just the movie adaptation of the security guards book.
Ha!
Kinda cool.
I'd love to see a supercut of all Michaels kills with him saying "Die!" dubbed over it each time.
Wow that sounds hilarious actually, I'd watch it in the theatre
Pineapple Juice Have you now?
Like tommy jarvis when he goes to town on Jason with his own machete?
If it was the Face-Off Nick Cage "Die", then you're on ! 👍
Robb Zombie’s movies are awful
They have to get the mask right for the 2018 film. Get as close as possible to the Shatner mask as they can get.
DarkJedi3000 You’re wish has been granted :D
hiitoast242 And we’re getting 2 more Movies, Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends.

Fun Fact for all people outside of New Jersey. I live near the town of Haddonfield, NJ and you know what town is next to it? A little town called Voorhees
I love listening to James just talk about movies or games in a relaxed tone. I don't know what it is, he's truly great. Super knowledgeable and easy to relate too.
I never realized that was Paul Rudd in Halloween 6....
who the hell is paul rudd??
Ben Conway the guy that plays Ant Man in the MCU..

Tell it, Candie!
Hope we get to see him in Halloween Kills or Halloween Ends.
Never forget
Just watched this before going to see Halloween (2018) next week. Love watching this type of content of yours, you sum everything together so well. So much I wasn’t aware off too. Keep up the good work :) this was a great watch.
i still remember when these reviews had actual, moving footage, not just still images :(

I agree. I enjoyed the Rob Zombie remake. But part 2 of Rob Zombies movie...ugh.....
At least we have a great Halloween 2018 now!
Happy Halloween, Cinemassacre team!
I just realize the character Jamie was probably named for the actress Jamie Lee Curtis.

I simply love these old monster madness episode. I hope you make a comeback, just you speaking about something that you love, horror movies
I just recently watched H20 and I thought it was great. It should’ve ended the series. It was a great callback to the original. I’m sad James didn’t mention the very subtle and powerful moments where Michael and Laurie come face to face. It’s silent, but says more than any words could. Jamie Lee Curtis is fantastic. I went into the movie not expecting anything, and came out really impressed. The ending caught me totally off guard too. It’s number 2 on my list.
agreed there I've personally always liked H20.
The series will never end, haven't you got that yet? None of them will.
I also liked those moments where she and he came face to face.
It made her struggle against him that much more powerful, and also acted as a means of showing us that Laurie was done running, and turned to face her fears.
Felt like a “scream” wanna be to me
This movie is a fucking masterpiece. The stalking. The shape, Michael Meyers, void of humanity with only one goal... Kill.
The original 1978 Halloween remains the best and will never be topped again!
Carpenter is a great filmmaker
Halloween III was very underrated!
I'm extremely curious as to how many hours were spent making this video. Just watching all the movies took me ages with a complete collection. Thank you for this!
Has anyone noticed the parallels between Halloween and the Terminator (1984), indestructible killer, chasing young woman, a man who knows the killer and is trying to destroy him resulting in scenes like the roommate of the young woman being killed.

I have never thought that so many people could be the same character as long as they didn't ever reveal their face!! Masterpiece!
I love Halloween III, so atmospheric and creepy.
There's 2 types of horror films, the horror films before Halloween and the horror films after Halloween.
I'm glad to hear this, because it just reminded me that Halloween H20 is literally the same fucking plot as the 2018 Halloween film, but everyone chose to forget that!
Same plot, different execution. Laurie is a different character in 2018 and in 2018 world, Halloween 2 never existed.
James' rant on Halloween 6 is the best

edgy.
