"I hoped he'd burn in hell. But I knew in my heart that hell would not have him."
Thats actually a great line.
Hell would not have him.
@ScissorMeTimbers USA
One of the best!
@@Michelrs nice
@ScissorMeTimbers I mean I get that, but he isn’t necessarily taking about the human actions committed by Myers or genocidal dictators such as killing. Hitler was in humane and belongs in hell, but he was human in the sense that he had emotion and acted human, in its evilest form. Myers is inhuman. There’s nothing there. He. Is. Evil. Not through his actions, but through his very presence. That’s why Loomis was afraid of him. Not because of the earthly things he commited, but the existential void that Michael represented.
I love that Donald Pleasence always approached his role in the Halloween series like he was doing Shakespeare or something equally serious instead of "just a horror movie".
Halloween 5 was he last halloween film before he died
@@matthewklukowski9050 No, Halloween 6 was. Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers.
Absolutely. He elevated the entire series to something it never could have approached without him.
@@tgriffin3059I agree bud
Only 363 days until Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers.
Oh yeah the one with Paul Rudd
365 days til Halloween, Halloween, Halloween.
365 days til Halloween.
Silver Shamrock.
I just Google it. And that movie is written by daniel farrands, aka Stuckmann's least favourite director
@@connorw2k I thought it was this one.
No the Halloween next year is called Halloween Kills, its a sequel to the 2018 Halloween which ignored all the sequels and was just a sequel to the 1st one
"The dog's the smartest person in this movie, by the way."
-Chris Stuckmann
He isn't wrong lol
"I've directed a gum commercial & my nephew's Bar mitzvah"
"You're qualified to direct a Halloween movie"
If you're going to milk a franchise, you don't waste money on the director.
Well every director has to start somewhere. A lot of big guys started from making commercials or music videos. You shouldn’t judge where someone comes from... as long as they make good movies 😂
@@Nicholas_Chen_ true but they gave the direction of the franchise to random nobodies
Throwing the inexperienced to helm franchises seems to be the norm now. This movie was ahead of its time.
I hope you are the director for the next star wars movie.
"There's really no reason for Halloween Five to exist"
This is how I feel about every Terminator movie after Judgement Day.
I was one of those people who was actually hopeful that Dark Fate would be decent at least, with Arnold, Linda and James Cameron returning.
But of course it was a big letdown like the other sequels after T2 🙄
Terminator Salvation is kinda decent
@@Nicholas_Chen_ Yes! I actually think the Director's Cut is a good movie, although the ending lets it down a bit. (Did not need Skynet to be given a human face that could give the villain's evil plan an expository voice.) Still nowhere near the level of T1 or T2 but leagues above anything else in the franchise.
Bullshit. We needed those Terminator movies, just in a better quality.
@John Carlton nah Genisys is still the worst out of all of them
Chris is so consistent. He said he would review a Halloween movie every year on Halloween and he delivered! He’s the only one I can depend on 🙃
Sounds like you need some Savage in your life
lol
Dr Wolfula is quite good as well
I know I’m suppose to be here for the movie but Donielle Wells you sexy.
It's like every big or semi big movie reviewer decided Hey let's all do Halloween 5 the revenge of Michael Myers for Halloween 🎃 smh 🤦🏽♀️
I remember the good old days when people reviewed what they wanted to review and not what was popular or trendy at the time 🧟♂️🧟♀️🤷🏽♀️💯
Chris' impersonation of Dr. Lumis was so on-point. 👏🏽👏🏽
Rest in peace Sean Connery.
Ik what a guy
Yeah I just heard , just absolutely shocking and unbelievable, RIP
Yeah 😔
It was totally out of left field,
Rip
I had no idea he passed until I read this 😢😢😢. Rest in peace, you legend!
The Dr. Loomis impression had me laughing till tears.
Imagine making a trailer for a movie that has no story yet.
Wym?
That happens more often than you think
You know usually if they have any footage whatsoever means they have a script. Having a script usually means they have a story...
Biggest movie letdowns:
The detective not getting food in Hellbound.
The dog not getting water in Halloween 5.
Exactly. Even Jon Snow went back to pet Ghost in that awful last episode.
There were so many Halloween sequels that I eventually lost count. I'm really looking forward to Halloween Kills though.
Eight in total.
I think H20 ignored all the sequels and was just a sequel to the first one, then the 2018 one also ignored all the sequels and was just a sequel to the first one, Halloween kills is basically going to be the new Halloween 3
@@jimmyjab190 no H20 was a sequel to Halloween 1 and 2 that’s why they still had the whole Laurie is Micheals sister plot line . Also Halloween kills is not going to be a sequel to Halloween (2018) and be its own sequel to the original? If so then I am officially lost with the Halloween storyline
No, Halloween kills is gonna be a sequel to the 2018 movie 🍿
Quintessential consoomer. "So many mediocre forgettable sequels. The next one, though... The next one I'm looking forward to..."
This parody on Lomis is hilarious, no joke, this was really funny
I'd love to hear his best Danny Trejo. You know which scene I'm talking about.
Is Donald Pleasence still wearing the exact same clothes in 1989 that he was in 1978?
I appreciated your transparency at the end man. Was actually comforting 💙
These videos this last month have been extremely therapeutic for me too. I work at the post office and it's been awful since Covid started, I love your reviews.
3 more years until Stuckmann reviews Halloween: Resurrection.
That review's gonna be fun to watch. I'm really looking forward to it.
He actually already reviewed it with The Flick Pick
@@michaelentity4997 I forgot about that, haha. Sad thing is that I apparently have already watched it. Damn my memory's for shit.
Busta Rhymes kung fu-ing Michael Myers? That's really what John Carpenter was missing from his original.
the worst one ever made very stupid if you ask me.Why would you live in a serial killers house.
Aw man I'm really happy to know you've had a good time doing these special reviews! I'm not used to celebrate halloween here in brazil but honestly, your vids made me feel the excitement of the holiday and presented me to some new movies!
Curse of Michael Myers has gotta be a hilariocity.
Especially with the ending of the producer’s cut, oh my God.
Forget That, Resurrection Has To Be One
@@SmileyySmiley yeah he did put that movie as one of the worst horror sequel list a long time ago
Curse of Michael Myers is actually pretty badass. Not sure what kind of dope you took today
Producers cut better edited thiactricAl trash
RIP to one legend of an actor Sean Connery! The first actor to truly portray the character of Bond legendary and set the bar for following actors, you will be forever missed😢
Just heard that Sean Connery passed away, we will miss you old lad.
SUPRISE! I am the funniest YTer evah!!!! Just kidding, it was no surprise. Everybody knew already. HAHAHHAHA!!!! That was an amazing joke (it was real talk though). WAWAWAWAWA!!!! Good afternoon, dear guy
Resht in peashe
Wait what?
And you just drop it like that?
In a comment section of Halloween 5?
@@turma8eac he died
Chris, thanks so much for these reviews! Your comments at the end of the video definitely resonated with me, especially this time of year, which is my favorite. It's hard realizing I won't be doing all the seasonal and holiday things with my family that we do every year. Watching your videos has certainly been a small pleasure during this time.
I watched every single one of your videos, including this year's Halloween special, and I have to thank you for keeping us all "company" during these past few months especially. As always, this Halloween special was highly informative and entertaining!
Nothing cleanses the soul like a good horror movie. These Halloween reviews gave me something to be excited about every week. Thank you for sharing your passion!
In loving memory: Sean Connery 1930-2020 :-/
Who?
*He brings a knife, you bring a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue.*
RIP. What’s really weird about it, for me at least, is that I was looking at his Wikipedia and IMDB during the night, just looking at the life story of a great actor of yesteryear; and now he passes away hours later. I feel genuinely freaked out about it. I ordered the blu-ray for Hunt for Red October on Amazon just yesterday. When it comes, I’m dropping anything else and watching it in memory of a great actor.
@@armroj51 Are you serious?
@@brendanforester4601 not everyone knows who Sean Connery is. Honestly I don’t even know who he is.
Chris, you gotta watch The Queen's Gambit. Would love to hear your thoughts.
What it is about
@@SAN-pw5to a young girl learns chess
I dont think hed enjoy it
@@dillondelaney4347 Why not lol? Its a phenomenal drama. I understand jack shit about chess and the suspense present during those games is palpable.
Thats a bad movie
RIP to Sean Connery. What a guy. He will be missed.
Yeah RIP to the legend
Though random video to post that on though!
He's probably making love to Trebek's mother up in the heavens. RIP to the man.
This comment was literally how I found out
@@PlanetXerox I got that joke!! 🤣
@@PlanetXerox Will tonight's SNL try to honor Sean Connery tonight, I wonder.
Glad these videos helped you out on these difficult times, Chris. Thank you for making them!
I knew it I could sense it...this movie was creeping on Chris's mind somewhere
It's like every big or semi big movie reviewer decided Hey let's all do Halloween 5 the revenge of Michael Myers for Halloween 🎃 smh 🤦🏽♀️
I remember the good old days when people reviewed what they wanted to review and not what was popular or trendy at the time 🧟♂️🧟♀️🤷🏽♀️💯
You could sunset because it was trend in and that's what Chris does he follows trends he doesn't set them 🤷🏽♀️🧟♀️🧟♂️🤦🏽♀️💯
8:54 Omg that Donald Pleasance impersonation LOL 😂
Lol spot on
I always wanted Michael Myers to say "Spock!!!! You've got to get us out of here"
Please do *I shot him six times!!* and *I was good to you, Mikey!*. I have no doubt you can nail both.
So funny hahaha
Is Donald Pleasence still wearing the exact same clothes in 1989 that he was in 1978?
Rest in power *Sean Connery!* The best James Bond of all time.
Yeah, I just recently discovered! Man, it surprises you a little when a popular actor you recognise passes away.
One of the best things about you as a reviewer is your authenticity and your honesty! You are truly inspiring to watch. I’m sorry you and your wife weren’t able to go away. We’d love to see her on with you on another review sometime. God Bless! Happy Halloween!
That old man voice was awesome😂
It’s been nice to have you and Jeremy doing videos during the pandemic. Dr. Wolfula is kicking ass as well. Thanks for keeping me entertained during this year.
Dr. Wolfula is posting a Halloween 5 review today too funnily enough. Dont know if you know gamerthumbtv but he also did Halloween 5 today. Weird huh ?
And thanks to you Chris for creating this comforting content for us in these hard times. Keep up the good work man.
Thanks for your transparency at the end Chris. But trust me it was kinda theocratic for us too. I always look forward to your reviews and so I really loved the fact that there were so many of them this month. In fact, throughout the year you have been so consistent and versatile in covering so many different kinds of films especially the old ones, I absolutely loved that. Coming back to the point, I really enjoyed all your 8th Halloween Special reviews this month. You covered a lot of films that I was just not aware of so thanks for that. 👍
Why doesn’t Stuckmann ever review Dario Argento? I’d like to see Suspiria get Stuckmannized.
Not normie enough
Or Fulci :D
I wanna see a review for Don't Torture A Duckling
@@NeverSaySandwich1 Among the type of people who follow Chris Stuckmann, I’d say Suspiria is well known enough to warrant a review. Certainly more normie than Samurai Cop.
@@benduncan6256 he doesn't like argento.
@@Zeitgeist6
Don’t torture a duckling was amazing. One of Fulci’s best efforts.
You forgot to mention the circus sounds in the beginning with the police. Never noticed it before. And yes, that dubbing was funny. Love your reviews! And your full disclosure at the end is spot on!
"We're in this shit now!"...truth. Big thanks for the reprieve this month Mr.Stuckman. Stay safe, stay awesome.
i feel you man, not only the movie, but the feelings of anxiety and uncertainty this year brought. whatever happens, keep hanging in there no matter what!
Thanks for all the hard work you put in your videos, Chris. Loved this year's Halloween Special. Definitely helped to cope with all that's been happening in the world right now.
Thanks Chris. 2020 was a tough year, and October was a tough month I’m glad doing these horror reviews was a healing factor for one and I, for one, enjoyed and appreciated them. I was Stuckmannized for several years already.
Chris, you need to review Picnic at Hanging Rock by Peter Weir this Halloween.
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am a nurse. My life is COVID all the time it seems. But for your videos have been a respite from this current way of life.
The cliffhanger ending is genuinely unnerving.
No its not lol. It's stupid af
You've shown your passion and love for horror films so well this past month and it's been a joy to listen to and learn, thanks Chris :)
lol where Jamie is seeing Michael wake up and kill the old man, that wasn’t a year later. The flashback was showing what happened right after the cops shot him. It just seemed confusing because it had just said a year later to introduce us to Jamie. But what she saw had happened the previous year lol. Hope that makes sense.
Jarred Harper that’s what I thought guess he just chilled in that mans hut for a year
@@DevinGSquire I knowww I used to think that as a kid. But then it hit me one day I was like “Oh my god...” LOL it just proves his point that the editing is disjointed.
Jarred Harper indeed only seen to 6 as of now planning on watching the rest but this whole franchise is what I like to call a “Shouter” meaning the best way to watch them is to be yelling at the movie and it’s absurdity the whole time.
Yeah.....the scene doesn't play like that at all and nothing indicates its a flashback....just bad film making.
@@BabysitterSky That’s why I said it’s bad editing lol. But that’s how it’s SUPPOSED to come off is a psychic flashback letting Jamie and the audience know that Michael escaped the explosion. Watch the scene again. You’re meaning to tell me the old dude is wearing the exact same outfit for a year as well? Yes it’s bad filmmaking but you can also infer somewhat for yourself lol
Many thanks for your october review series, this helped me a lot to get the autumn halloween vibes!
Halloween 5: I understand every critic here but it was my first watched part of this series on TV as a kid in the late 90s and every murder was cut in the tv version. For me it was very special to see the uncut version many years later with the pitchfork kill and so on :) I have a special relation to every halloween movie first seen on TV
I enjoyed Halloween 5 for my whole life. I'm 32 now was really scary when i was a kid especially one night when the power cut out from a storm right before she pulled his mask off in the movie when i was like 10 at home alone.
Chris B The laundry chute scene always gets me!
I agree. I’ve always enjoyed H5 as well. The mask was pretty lame though.
@@brucecarter6205 agreed!
thanks for so many videos this October! loved em all
Been here since before the first Halloween specials! Keep it up Chris
I've been finding a lot of comfort in your Halloween reviews. Thank you so much!
Legends say that you can predict Chris's movie rating just by looking at his face at the thumbnail.
Chris. Thank you for being a major reason why I got through a very challenging October. Being in PA during an election year must be a layer of Hell; the commercials alone. Thank you for some many great videos; it helped immensely. Enjoy your Halloween!
Personally I’m surprised he did not rage about the clown like noises when the two cops show up for the first time or least just laugh at it
I'm genuinely happy that these videos helped you in that way. I think I'm looking for something to have that effect on me in my life right now. That was great to hear that at the end, because it makes me optimistic I'll find what that is for me. Thank you Chris! That genuinely lifted me up.
“There’s no reason for Halloween 5 to exist.”
Also: this is not the worst of the Halloween movies.
Me: 🤨
That’s how bad the other Halloween movies are
Halloween (1978), Halloween II (1981) Halloween: 20 Years Later, Halloween: Season Of The Witch. There's no reason for any of the other Halloween movies to exist.
@gregory garner You can't be serious. What iconic moments??
@gregory garner Did you work on this movie or know someone who did? You are trying so desperately to defend this absolutely garbage movie. I'm not even sure if you're fucking with me or not.
@@ThoseStairsTheFirst
Take H20 out as well
I don't watch many movie reviews or critics bc frankly I don't watch tv or movies but Chris is such a calm and positive dude even if he doesn't like a movie he critiques he's not mean or disrespectful. Thanks for just being a nice dude with a good personality.
RIP Sean Connery the best James Bond
And champion female boxer
As a teenager I loved Halloween 4 in the theater. It was somehow scarier and more grounded then Jason or Freddy. And that ending was WHOAH! We couldn’t wait to see 5 next year. At the time... we loved it just as much and were hanging on that cliffhanger of the man in black. So we were ready for next Halloween... and it didn’t come! By the time Halloween 6 came out I had finished high school and college and moved away from my old friends and had a new life and other interests. I still haven’t seen Halloween 6. Hollywood just took too long. I moved on and it became obvious there was no real follow up story. Shame.
Baby Danielle Harris was so cute and she grew up to be a pretty woman. She's also a very underrated scream queen in my opinion.
she ended up getting it in the end though in rob zombie's version haha She played the daughter of the sherrif played by brad dourif.
@@thehitherto5348 I enjoyed Hatchet as well. She was excellent in Halloween 4 & 5. Even when her character was mute for the majority of 5 she was great. I even like her in Halloween remake (2007) but I didn't like the sequel. I don't like how Rob Zombie kept her character alive just to kill her off in the sequel it was very pointless.
@@guitarman0365 yeah I actually think Halloween (2007) is very underrated. Sure it doesn't come close to the original but it was a solid remake and they at least gave Michael a real back story. Also seeing Michael grow up in the 80s was cool.
@@kang6914 that movie is terrible, how did Michael know laurie was her sister?
@@andresnavarro5978 I know man it's awful, I think it's the worst of the entire series, even worse than Halloween Resurrection. They turned Laurie into an Emo, pointless dream sequences etc. The only good thing about the movie was the opening in the hospital. I don't know what Rob Zombie was thinking.
Thanks for sharing your gift in doing this every year. I look forward to it, and all the other stuff you do. Happy Halloween and stay safe and let’s glide smoothly into 2021!
I'm curious how many people stayed till the end of the video.
why
why bruh?
Wdym
We all did!
im really curious but this guy does not reply only which is very frustating..
Sorry to hear it's been such a rough year for you man. I look forward to whatever else you have time to put out but take care of yourself.
Thank you for mentioning the house. The original house looked a little like my house which made it scarier. Then they kept fucking with it. Didn’t it have some underground cavern in Resurrection? I think Halloween started to go south with the second one. Once they were like, “Oh, Laurie is Michael’s biological sister so he feels compelled to kill her,” that made everything stupid. It was way scarier when he was just some escaped psycho that happened to see Laurie as she came to his house and was like, “I’m going to kill you now,” and starts stalking her. That is way scarier because he had no real motive other than compulsion. He could’ve targeted anyone in the country. But with Halloween 2, that changed and as long as you weren’t in the same town as his family members, you were safe. That’s not scary!
The thing everyone forgets is that he was stalking Tommy long before he stalked Laurie. He was of course the one who accompanied her to Michael's house, yelling about him being a boogeyman. They really needed a motive for the embodiment of evil to watch people until he lost control and decided to kill them?
I did really enjoy all your Halloween videos this year Chris. Glad you enjoyed making them. Thanks.
Welp, Halloween is over. Now it's just two endless month of Christmas related crap.
Their were Christmas decorations ON Halloween.
Chris, anything you post helps so many people right now... thank you!
Halloween 5 is terrible. It really is.
It retcons the fantastic Ending of H4, one of the main protagonists of H4 Rachel is killed off like in 10 minutes of H5, the Mask of Michael Myers in this one is the Worst Mask in the entire Franchise. Much worse than in H4. The story is bad, the characters are awful, especially Tina who is the most unlikable and annoying character in Horror Movie history and the ending of this movie just sucks!
The only redeeming qualities that H5 has are still Donald Pleasence as Dr. Loomis, Danielle Harris as Jamie and some Kills. That's it.
I mean even the director of this movie admited later in some interviews that H5 was a rushed Mistake. It came 1 year after H4 because that movie was a big success. H5 was made without any passion. They couldn't even get the Myers's House right in this Movie, that's how lazy the makers were.
Halloween 5 was pretty much the start for the downfall of the Halloween Franchise.
It's not the worst Halloween Movie in the Halloween Franchise (Halloween: Resurrection is much worse in my opinion) but it's still terrible.
I really hate when people use "even the director thinks" as part of their argument
@@Nova-fh2et well if the main creator of an artwork/film says that even they are not satisfied with a project or think it's bad why wouldn't that be relevant to an analysis or argument?
The problem with the Halloween franchise is that pretty much every movie kind of ruins the previous one.
Horrormaster13 no h20 has the worst mask
@@OscarHernandez-bb6zp No.
The calming effect is for sure confirmed on this end. Always looking forward to new reviews from you. Much love.
I can only hope Chris is doing okay. He really hasn't seemed like himself lately...
I've been saying that since 2017/2018! I mean, Chris turned into a vampire during that time period! 😂 His skin was so pale back then.
I haven't noticed anything 🤔
he did an interview about it with some guy. he just lost some
of his passion during 2018 because there were barely any good films. to me he seems a lot better
@@q-man323 2018 was somewhat a strange year....
@@q-man323 Yeah, that's right! During that year, there were no movies he rated an A+.
Thank you, Chris, for the work you've done this money, this whole year, in fact. It's been good to focus on the things we love to keep up our morale and our creative output. What you said towards the end of this video really spoke to things myself and all of us who are artists are dealing with during these unstable times. Thanks a million, sir.
Why are people talking about Sean Connery's death in this comment section? I know it's sad, and I find it sad too, but Connery wasn't even in any of the Halloween films!
2 months ago RIP Chadwick Boseman was written everywhere. I miss him too. But Sean Connery... a legend since 1962. And he won the Oscar for The Untouchables.
Thank you for being so candid at the end. Your reviews are by far my favourite and you’re one of the few reviewers I trust. This year has been awful and full of changes but your videos have been fab as ever. Hang in there Chris!
Chris still has not gave us a review of Tucker and Dale vs Evil.
I’m right there with you Chris... this year sucks and I have dived headfirst into movies to blank it all out. 🙌 I’ve set challenges, I’ve looked out for cinematography and editing, really trying to improve my knowledge, and your reviews have been the cherry on the cake 🙌
Didn't even mention Rachel dying at the beginning.
Yea that was huge. Should've at least referenced it.
Because her character doesn’t matter.
She comes back in "Chips The War Dog" and "House Of The Dead".
These videos helped calm my anxiety. Every time you posted one, I would get excited because I could be entertained and distracted from the world. Thank you!!
FINALLY!!! Waited a year for this
We love you Chris. Thank you for being here with us this year.
I can't wait to hear your thoughts on the Rob Zombie films cause I really like them personally
I really like the second one, a very interesting art house type film
trash opinion
Rob Zombie destroyed it which I'm happy but upset that it should had ended with H20 period.The rest was awful resurrection was shit and then he comes out with his creepy remake and funky butt sequel.Why was Michael Myers talking in that shit.
Never commented before under one of these vids... But I'm subscribed since 2015 and a loyal fan and viewer... I looove ur Halloween content and it has become an annual tradition to watch these and re-watch ur older Halloween specials every single year. I personally also reviewed a lot of films this year for the same reasons u did. This year cancelled pretty much everything and i at least wanted to distract myself for Halloween
If he keeps doing a Halloween review every year he should be done by 2025. Or 24 if he doesn't want to do resurrection again because he kinda already talked about that film with the flick pick.
There will probably be at least 2 more Halloween movies before 2025
@@Roger_Waters_Broken_Balls Yea Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends but he's going to review them when they come out, not on the 31st of October.
Been watching Chris Stuckmann's videos for 8 years, and I only just now realized he reviews an installment of the Halloween franchise every Halloween day.
REVIEW CROUCHING TIGER HIDDEN DRAGON AND SHUTTERS ISLAND PLEASE LOVE YOU
Thank you for taking the time to make all your Halloween reviews. Your channel is my tradition every Halloween. This has sucked so thank you for doing this!! Made me happy
Atleast we don’t see his eyes in the movie really while wearing the mask after h20 we Always see his eyes 🙄( besides Halloween 2(1981)
I just wanted to say Thank you, For doing all the Halloween vids this year. Its my favorite holiday and Covid really Nuked it this year. Honestly the only cool stuff this month has been your vids, and Fall weather.
It really has been a horrid year, My grandmother died of Covid, And my father Died of Cancer. Roger Ebert Was my hero and You kind of replaced him for me. My only complaint about the review is you didn't mention Danielle Harris! I was pretty much the same age when she starred in 4 and 5 and I've had a thing for her my entire life. She was the saving grace of this movie!
Halloween 4 and 5 are underrated.
Chris, your videos have really helped this year. Thank you so much because they really are calming and they give us all a sense of normalcy that would otherwise be lacking. Thank you again
In my opinion, this is the worst "Halloween" movie. I only finished it because I wanted to complete the series.
This is how I rank the "Halloween" movies (remake not included):
9. Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Meyers;
8. Halloween : The Curse of Michael Meyers;
7. Halloween III : Season of the Witch;
6. Halloween: Resurrection;
5. Halloween (2018);
4. Halloween 4 : The Return of Michael Meyers;
3. Halloween H2O: 20 Years Later;
2. Halloween II;
1. Halloween (1978).
Why not have the remakes?
I like watching Season of the Witch as it’s own movie rather than a Halloween movie.
@@tanything26 I have yet to watch them.
I watched it when I was a teen and even by then I can tell it’s utter shit. It has some redeeming moments but that doesn’t mean it’s not an awful film.
@@Nicholas_Chen_ You clearly haven't watched them eating popcorn with friends. Both films aren't perfect but they're so much fun under the right circumstances
Chris, you are one of the most authentic people on RUclips. Without knowing you personally I feel like I do after watching a million of your videos. Thank you for what you do, and for having the courage to follow your true passion. What you do has a positive impact on others. Always remember this. Happy Halloween dude.
I actually really liked this move, when most didn't.
Buddy, of all the people I've heard say that. You're the first.
You a big fast and the furious fan too? 🤣
I agree. I actually think this is one of the better films. I kind of hate H20 though. It sucks to me. I think its almost as bad as Resurrection if I'm being completely honest.
Dude honestly same I know it’s flaws but i think it’s just a guilty pleasure for me
I agree. I’ve always liked this one flawed as it may be.
Thanks for going an extra mile with these reviews for this Halloween special. Really helped a lot. Appreciate your hard work.
I like Halloween 4 and 5...they’re junk, but enjoyable junk.
It’s hard to fuck up a Halloween movie for me. As long as Michael is killing stupid people in a white mask, I’m 100% down.
I give Halloween III a pass because the story was actually good. Plus it makes the “return of Michael Myers” that much better and more worthwhile because it’s an actual “return”, unlike return of the Jedi for example.
Thanks for making these wonderful videos, Chris! It's been a rough ass year but I'm glad the virus couldn't take away classic Halloween movies from us! Your videos have been this island of normality & for some reason they've been pretty therapeutic for me too! Have a wonderful All Hallow's Eve to you and yours!
The franchise should have stopped at 2 or 4. Here its just a mess. The stupid Man in Black, the dumb goofy music for the cop characters, Myers crying, annoying characters, killing off a likeable character etc. The director had no clue what he was doing, completely disrespectful to Greg Nicotero, "oh what do you know, you're just a makeup guy"....Well, you clearly didn't know what the hell you were doing. This is where the franchise went downhill. The only reason to watch is Donald Pleasance.
They made Season of the Witch because they wanted to turn the series into an anthology, a different story every film. That would have been cool to see.
Thanks for all your reviews this month. I know it's alot of work to put that many together. They've been very enjoyable to watch.
Hey. Thanks for the videos this month. They were all great. Nice to watch these and not think about everything going on
Alright, I gotta be honest.
This movie was my introduction to Halloween and Michael Myers, so naturally I absolutely love it. It reminds me of when I was 12, Halloween time, parents weren’t divorced yet, and Michael Myers was fresh to me at the time. So going from this to the first film was absolutely amazing. I thought this one was good, so you can imagine how much I loved the first one the first time I saw it.
I'll honor your honesty with my own: I love H5, too, for nostalgic and personal reasons. It was the one I latched onto during AMC's FearFests because the young protagonist embodied the courage and survival instinct I was set on acquiring to endure weekends with my terrifying and abusive father. I related to Jamie a lot, and Danielle Harris's performance gave me strength throughout the years. It's no secret that Halloween 5 is a poorly made film, and those of us who actually have a handful of kind things to say about it are no strangers to people trashing it ofc, but I'm thankful it exists because some of us out there did get some good out of it. And I'm really glad you still do, too.
@@21melpomene Halloween 5 is not a poorly made film. It is a masterpiece. It features several choices that are clearly controversial, of course...but movies like this are defined by their animating qualities. And no other film in the series is animated so heavily by the exact same things that set the '78 classic apart. The classic 'triangular hunt', with Myers stalking people, and Loomis stalking him...and set against the backdrop of the Harvest season in the Heartland. Incredible aesthetics, with great cinematography and one of the finest musical scores in the franchise. The most suspenseful pursuit sequences since the closet scene in the original. The strongest stalking sequences since the first movie(and I think actually EXCEEDING it a bit). And one of the greatest performances in the history of horror by Pleasance(although I still think his greatest outing as Loomis was in Part 2).
There has never been a movie of this caliber that absorbs such absurd criticism.
