Your friend being Michael Myers is incredible. Please do a similar storyline for a recap of something like all the Saw, Scream, or Friday the 13th movies. Especially the private VHS seller bit.
I don’t think Michael attacked the Children’s Hospital. Lions had Jamie fake one of her episodes to get the police away from the house knowing Michael would come afterwards
How am I only just finding this channel?!? Great video. Only at H20 so far but I'm loving the overarching story with trying to stop Daniel. 😂 I would've loved to have heard you talk about the masks of each instalment and what your opinion of each one was.
What gives Michael Myers his supernatural powers is the towns belief and fear of him. Myers grows weak because the town's folk turned their attention on Laurie, to the point where they blamed her for Myers' behaviour.
I Love This Explanation! Different movie but in “Practical Magic” when she points out about does the sheriff’s badge have any power itself, or is it because he believes it has power? Jumping back, is this why Laurie survives a lot of fatal experiences? She started receiving the Power?
@cucco Whos, that last sentence about Laurie receiving power is a great analysis and something I could totally believable!! It definitely can see it being the reason she has survived so many encounters with Michael. Nice job!
Michael Meyers really the goat. They’ve tried to do some outlandish stuff with his character and he’s still hailed as one of the greatest slasher villains of all time
Almost didn't recognize you wit the new username! haha. Thanks Cole! Yeah definitely wouldn't blame someone from breaking this up into multiple sessions haha
Take a little while to take this all at once?? Not at all. This video is beyond engaging. The subject is easily watchable. I find this very easy to watch in one sitting.. I'm doing this right now.
Gotta challenge you on Halloween 2...Laurie is injured. It makes sense that she's the way she is in 2. Also, something else...I've seen that people complain how slow Myers is in 2-he was injured from being shot...it makes total sense.
Wow Gil! Great stuff, this is a huge project. The analysis of the first movie is really good, looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the rest of the series. Gotta find more cameos by Adam and Daniel
The Halloween movies remain a fascinating study in how American film makers seem incapable of quitting while they’re ahead or leaving questions unanswered. It’s incredibly rare that sequels (or remakes) add anything of worth to originals, and yet… they keep making them, because of the above reasons and, of course, money.
What's interesting is that, apparently, Michael Myers was supposed to speak in the first Rob Zombie Halloween. He was supposed to say "Boo" but they ultimately axed it. While, in some ways, I can appreciate Rob Zombie's take on Halloween, I think it just went way too far in certain aspects. I can appreciate the back story, I can even appreciate the motive for Michael with trying to get to Laurie, but the execution of it all just falls apart.
Yeah, I think I see where Zombie was going, but he didn't have the skills to do it. I think giving Michael Myers the abused child backstory was a mistake. Michael Myers is supposed to be unique, an enigma. If his behaviors are easily explained with a bad childhood, then, since his home situation wasn't ( sadly) unheard of and probably a lot of people's childhood stories, Michael is the way he is because of his early surroundings. Then there would be others just like him, but if there is, then why does Michael have a movie? They introduced concepts and ideas and explanations; in the end it didn't just trip Zombie up. He got caught in a bear trap. I read the novelization before I ever saw the movie, and to my teenage scaredy-cat self, it was terrifying. That book is far scarier than the movie. In the book, if I remember correctly, on Halloween Michael became possessed of the spirit of Samhain, that's why he did what he did...the way it is explained in the novel, it makes sense. Me personally, I loved "Halloween 3". But I am so 80's it's sad.
1:07:09 this one is easy to explain. There were two Michaels for a brief moment. You see there was a ripple in the fabric of spacetime where another Michael Myers, a blonde one, from another universe was caught in the wake and was brought to the scene in the school. Ergo, it’s why he appears to be in many places at once.
I love watching this video when I sleep. New fan here, love your content. Would it be possible if you did another video like but for the Scream franchise?
Fantastic video...loved every moment but maybe the most impressive thing is I was invested in the interludes and wanted to see what happened next! And the final reveal was incredible 😂
I think it's kind of a catch-22 for Loomis when you question why would the character know what Samhain is but not know the pronunciation, maybe, he had just a passing knowledge and, less didn't know the pedantic repronunciation.
I spent the whole halloween III recap waiting for Michael Myers to show up 😂 wonder how the anthology concept would have went if the movie didnt underperform
I will say that Halloween two freaked me out as a kid because we lived in a small town and the hospital there looked just like this one. My mom was a nurse there and often they had very little staff especially at night. My mom also looked like the last nurse that died. Now it just nostalgic to me.
It's a fantastic idea, but it could have been better executed. Also, poor timing of release. Fans wanted Mike, which was different from the original anthology idea. However, they could've pivoted and used it to describe why Mike changed. The "possession" could have been due to the hypnosis. Most children could've deleted it, but Mike was one of the few that were persistent to the commercials.
I think my “switch-off moment” for Rob Zombie’s Halloween was the scenes with Loomis and the Sheriff, where the dialogue was so awful and the performances felt like first time read-throughs.
This recap just auto played I was gonna flick it off but... I’m glad I didn’t‼️ Holy smokes this is one of the best 4hour recap reviews I’ve watched on this franchise Oh yeah it’s full with funny well shot skits! Congratulations bro this is awesome 🇨🇦🤘🏼
Halloween 1and 2 Are Cannon to me personally and the Best. And I was into the OCCULT aspect Introduced in the Future Movies but I just don't think it was Executed well. Hopefully we will get a well Done Actually Scary Michael VS Movie in the future. And quick question? Are you into the Elm Street Franchise? And if so any plans to Do a Retrospective? Thanks.
So much to take in. One aspect I love is RZ Halloween 2 is the only one in the franchise to actually show MM as a drifter. Because I feel that's exactly what he would be. Walking around Central Illinois, eating animals, living in barns.
1:02:38 there’s actually plenty of good slasher films from the 80s, it’s just not the Halloween movies. The problem is they are either supernatural (Freddy and Chucky), stuck in a franchise that doesn’t start strong (Friday the 13th part 4 and Friday the 13th part 6), or are pretty obscure (My Bloody Valentine, The Burning, The Prowler, and House on Sorority Row). So it’s hard to actually find those good slasher films because they are more hidden gems than well known classics.
they need to do a teamup with Scream and Halloween with Kyle McLachlan as The College Professor aka Ghostface and Julian McMahon as Dr. Wynn's descendant and Tim Curry as the evil Mastermind known as Jeremias Selzer - who was entrepreneur and industrialist of Selzer Enterprises - who had been in charge of the whole thing
I read the novelization of "Halloween" when i was 14 and it was the most terrifying thing ever. In the book, Michael is possessed by Samhain, i guess the spirit. It makes sense in the book, there is some explanation as to what Samhain is. It made it plausable. And scarier. The one question i always have is why doesnt anyone leave town Halloween? Why do they stay? Duh.
It's a good book but I would say that the filmmakers had nowhere near the budget required to film the backstory present by the novel... More actors would be needed and, most expensively, European location shooting would have to be done.
Hey, my friend. I'm currently halfway through your presentation. As an older adult who happens to enjoy this franchise, I thought I would thank you for handling this retrospective in such a thoughtful articulate. way. The typical sophomoric approach with all of the constant f-bombs gets really old and obnoxious, after a while. I haven't heard any of that from you, so far, and I really appreciate it. It makes the discussion much more engaging and shows how much thought you put into this. I'm glad you have lots of subscribers. It's well deserved. I confess I'm not too big on the comedy skits in between, but that's just one guy's opinion. I think it sort of disrupts the flow of what you're doing, and isn't needed. Minor quibble. Keep up the good work.🙂
John Carpenter's Halloween still scares me more than the slashers. More violence doesn't horrify me so much as disgust me. The atmosphere and the building of tension is so well done, i don't care how gory or bloody something is, that does not scare. Plus the grossest films ever in John Carpenter's The Thing and David Cronenberg's The Fly, both in the 1980s.
I think that violence can be terrifying, but it needs to service the atmosphere and not the other way around. I find that Friday the 13th part 4 does that pretty well as does The Prowler and The Burning.
@thomasffrench3639 agreed on Ft13th Part4. It's the only one that is kind of scary, only one thar really attempts to have characters to care about. Even in death my boy Crispin Glover got as a door block that Jason just pulled down.
@@LoneWolf_Cub_Ogami_Itto Yeah sometimes it can help make you sad and invested even more. Obviously it can just be cheap shock value, and I think it's fair to critique it in films with no suspense and tension, I was just pointing out that it doesn't necessarily mean that it doesn't exist. I feel like I'm the only person who doesn't like the first 3 Friday the 13th movies, but I do like part 4 quite a lot, and it's nice to see someone else feel the same. I also like part 6, but that is understandably doesn't really appeal if you are looking for strictly horror. It's nice to see someone agree with me on the 4th one. Although I am guessing I like it better than you, as it is one of my favorite 80s horror movies, but hey, it's still nice to see that.
@thomasffrench3639 no you're not, I too am not a big fan of Friday The 13, Part 2 is better, I've mixed feeling on 3 but over all it's not very good, Part⁴ is the best of the series. I think it has a lot to do with they made characters and Tom Savini's work here is some of his best and Jason is savage in 4.
@@LoneWolf_Cub_Ogami_Itto I think part 2 is a decent movie, but it’s really nothing special especially when compared to 1981 which many will argue is the best year in the subgenre, which I agree with. But that aside, it is not as poorly made as it’s predecessor, and is not a bad way to spend a horror movie evening. I hate part 3 tho, it’s just a bore that tries to add character conflicts but fail miserably. And part 4 actually has characters that are interesting enough to where you are invested in their struggles and anxieties, due to well done character conflict and it’s sad to see that they die right after their resolution, or just before their resolution, which I think makes the film more effective. The first 3 movies didn’t have that or didn’t do it well. Also the direction and lighting also went a long way to create atmosphere. I also like that part 6 is basically just Halloween but with Tommy as Sam Loomis. Which is works because it makes the story feel way more urgent, but I am also not as invested in the characters of part 6.
The algorithm *keeps* dumping this into my watch next. I've started it like 5 times and watched it all of the way through at least once. It's a quite entertaining watch. Does anybody else find it kind of strange that Michael Meyers in Halloween 2018 is actually way more similar to the character in Rob Zombie's Halloween 2007 than John Carpenter's Halloween 1978? The decayed mask, the violence and brutality, and the raw power? I sometimes catch myself while I'm watching 2018 thinking that it's the sequel to 2007 ignoring the 2009 sequel. Jamie Lee Curtis instead of Scout is the only thing that really breaks it for me.
I loved the idea of Michael passing the torch...then they ruined it. Also, I was down with the Zombie movies, but he needed to write the essential characters better. Lastly, they need to admit that he's not human. His name is "The Shape." They should lean into the supernatural aspects.
I saw the first one when I was 16 and it scared the crap out of me then . My Sister and I watched it years later thinking it wouldn't scare Us at all but ofcourse ,it did and still does Everytime ,it's the greatest horror movie of all time to me ,with little blood r gore just creepy and the breathing will still creep me out at 60 and both my kids also ,maybe I let them watch it to young but they're grown up now and it still creeps them out .
Thankyou so much this video is essential... What I just learned from watching this though is that I literally know everything there is to know about Halloween lol that's crazy...😅 I guess I don't watch them all way too many times... Cuz I know the Halloween series like the back of my hand😂😭😭😭😩
I agree with your points about Halloween Ends. The townspeople blaming Laurie for Michael’s rampage is almost sort of believable, but I thought it was weird that Laurie didn’t defend herself. It almost seemed like the film was suggesting that she really was partly responsible for Michael’s mayhem. Another criticism I have is that it’s never acknowledged in the film if Laurie believed Hawkins when he told her in Kills that Michael wasn’t obsessed with her and wasn’t targeting her specifically. I thought that would’ve been a huge blow to her since that belief caused her so much paranoia and ruined her relationship with her family, but in Ends it’s never mentioned if she realized her mistake. I also thought it was very strange that Laurie wasn’t surprised that Corey was wearing Michael’s mask. It doesn’t really make sense that she didn’t ask him where he got it because the fact that he has it most likely means he knows where Michael has been hiding. For some reason that isn’t on Laurie’s mind at all.
I feel like if I was to choose the best timeline, I would go for the most recent one. Or even better just the OG Halloween 1 and 2. But for me, the newest trilogy fleshes out how a town can be haunted, or even choose the wrong person is Michael out of fear of all their lives. Halloween Ends is a bit weird and the oddball of this timeline, but I would take it over the cult version. I think if the last film was slightly different, either Corey not being a thing or even based on the same night as the last two films, it would make more sense, a better start to end. I think Corey being a warning or red flag telling Laurie he saw it works out better. The way Michael oddly reunites the town at the end of Halloween ends makes sense, but the fight should have continued that night in 2018. I think the theme of Halloween Ends is a completely different theme, but it doesn’t fit. I’m happy to watch the OG film with these other films, and that would be my preferred route, but just a two parter like the OG is simply the best route. I think if Halloween kills was continuing it being about Laurie, not the town would make it more personally for her, as was established in 2018.
I saw H20 in a theater and I knew that they would use the switching with the EMT bit. I'm not the most observant guy in the world, but even I thought "Why didn't the EMT or Laurie take off the mask?" So I saw that coming.
The producer stated in the interview that Michael was mad at his sister because she was once his financial officer and his stocks went downhill real quick.
Yeah they totally got the whole Corey thing wrong. If it had of been in kills or done diff it may have been ok cause I get what they were going for stoy wise but it was just the wrong thing to end a third and final movie if the series on. Maybe if Corey had of showed up in 2018 in the first one and the character arc played out over the three movies too the end it may have worked.
Halloween was obviously supposed to be in the fall but if you in the backgrounds all of the trees are still full of leaves. I only noticed that because I’ve watched it so many times
33:10 alternatively you leave him no motivation. Which would make a very confusing antagonist. Fine for a movie which had zero plans to have a sequel and put butts in seats. His decision was sound he only regretted it bc there wasn’t a better execution to deliver on this. It’s objectively nonsensical to have a killer with zero motivation while also headline more than half a dozen films. Which is why IMO Resurrection is a lot better than ppl think. I know it’s fun to pile on without considering objections but so many people fail to see it’s the one movie apart from the original where no external motivation for Michael actually works and he can do this thing. It’s more or less simply a home invasion. That’s enough of a relatable motivation without sacrificing the essence of evil. And say what you want but the concept was highly topical and again objectively done in a realistic way. It’s incredibly realistic people film themselves breaking into a home for fame. In incredibly realistic it turns out it’s rigged the whole time. It’s incredibly consistent with the original s character gets the drop on a decade more cooked Michael. Hell she gives Michael all he can handle in the first movie in some scenes. And hartnett gives Michael all the hands and escapes alive in h20 and there’s many more examples. No problem a beefed out, athletic Busta who was already shown to have interest in martial arts in the film do his own purposefully bad impression of Chun Lee. Regardless, there wouldn’t be a franchise without the sister storyline. Just as was originally intended.
In Halloween resurrection, originally Deckard was supposed to leave the party and go save his girlfriend and save the day not Busta. It would’ve been so much better if they would’ve gone with the original ending.
It could benefit from being remade for sure, but I don’t get the cult following. Imo, it’s one of the worst ones. Just slightly better than Resurrection, but not as bad as 6.
@@critik_l Also agreed. I was excited to come back to this movie once I realized it had gained such a cult following but was ultimately disappointed. I think I get where the cult following comes from: some of the ideas in the movie are cool, fun, and memorable and those are the things that might stick in your mind if you saw the movie a long time ago. But IMO, the actual plot which connects all that stuff together is just too bland.
I actually liked the Rob Zombie Halloween (the first one) it's obviously not as good as the the first Halloween but it's so much better than everything else before it I loved how Mike Myers was an absolute unit to me that makes more sense he's actually scarey and the movie felt more gritty and twisted which I also loved
Some dude edited the 2nd one on RUclips and it's actually pretty good. Flows good and he cut out all the ghost mom crap. Worth a watch if you get a chance.
I fell for the blumhouse remake. They should have made laurie and michael siblings again . Also they could have explored the telepathy in the bloodline. Thats how he always finds laurie. Idk just a thought.
Why do some people, including Gil, pronounce it Holloween? There's an 'a' in there! lol. Strange pronunciation or not, I'll be watching. Thanks for the entertainment and keep the the great work.
They ruined Micheol when they made him need human things to do anything... I don't llke that he can drive or over hears lory is in hospital.... When I was young I never noticed that side of him I always thought he just knew because he's evil... Also he needs to eat but why? It was better when you didn't know if he needed to eat or how he got around.... Micheol was a monster to me not juet an evil serial killer... It worked for ghost face
Halloween started as a book ,Witten I believe sometime in the 70s.certain references that are made have to do with the book.and yes Dr Lumus said the name wrong.

I confess I'm not too big on the comedy skits in between, but that's just one guy's opinion. I think it sort of disrupts the flow of what you're doing, and isn't needed. Minor quibble. Keep up the good work.🙂
So as
@@jtam1289 Not sure I understand your reply...?
Honestly, the pointless Shining ripoff was my favorite part of the review hahahaha
Great job
may your videos keep going I'd ask they never get taken down .
John Carpenter's Halloween still scares me more than the slashers. More violence doesn't horrify me so much as disgust me. The atmosphere and the building of tension is so well done, i don't care how gory or bloody something is, that does not scare. Plus the grossest films ever in John Carpenter's The Thing and David Cronenberg's The Fly, both in the 1980s.
I think that violence can be terrifying, but it needs to service the atmosphere and not the other way around. I find that Friday the 13th part 4 does that pretty well as does The Prowler and The Burning.
@thomasffrench3639 agreed on Ft13th Part4. It's the only one that is kind of scary, only one thar really attempts to have characters to care about. Even in death my boy Crispin Glover got as a door block that Jason just pulled down.
@@LoneWolf_Cub_Ogami_Itto Yeah sometimes it can help make you sad and invested even more. Obviously it can just be cheap shock value, and I think it's fair to critique it in films with no suspense and tension, I was just pointing out that it doesn't necessarily mean that it doesn't exist. I feel like I'm the only person who doesn't like the first 3 Friday the 13th movies, but I do like part 4 quite a lot, and it's nice to see someone else feel the same. I also like part 6, but that is understandably doesn't really appeal if you are looking for strictly horror. It's nice to see someone agree with me on the 4th one. Although I am guessing I like it better than you, as it is one of my favorite 80s horror movies, but hey, it's still nice to see that.
@thomasffrench3639 no you're not, I too am not a big fan of Friday The 13, Part 2 is better, I've mixed feeling on 3 but over all it's not very good, Part⁴ is the best of the series. I think it has a lot to do with they made characters and Tom Savini's work here is some of his best and Jason is savage in 4.
@@LoneWolf_Cub_Ogami_Itto I think part 2 is a decent movie, but it’s really nothing special especially when compared to 1981 which many will argue is the best year in the subgenre, which I agree with. But that aside, it is not as poorly made as it’s predecessor, and is not a bad way to spend a horror movie evening. I hate part 3 tho, it’s just a bore that tries to add character conflicts but fail miserably. And part 4 actually has characters that are interesting enough to where you are invested in their struggles and anxieties, due to well done character conflict and it’s sad to see that they die right after their resolution, or just before their resolution, which I think makes the film more effective. The first 3 movies didn’t have that or didn’t do it well. Also the direction and lighting also went a long way to create atmosphere. I also like that part 6 is basically just Halloween but with Tommy as Sam Loomis. Which is works because it makes the story feel way more urgent, but I am also not as invested in the characters of part 6.
Comparing Ends to the Shining is wild 😂😂😂😂
Daaaang this is impressive!
idk how but i keep finding your videos while i’m asleep
The algorithm *keeps* dumping this into my watch next. I've started it like 5 times and watched it all of the way through at least once. It's a quite entertaining watch.
Does anybody else find it kind of strange that Michael Meyers in Halloween 2018 is actually way more similar to the character in Rob Zombie's Halloween 2007 than John Carpenter's Halloween 1978? The decayed mask, the violence and brutality, and the raw power? I sometimes catch myself while I'm watching 2018 thinking that it's the sequel to 2007 ignoring the 2009 sequel. Jamie Lee Curtis instead of Scout is the only thing that really breaks it for me.
You did an awesome job with this video ❤
Julian's a Black Kid. He did exactly what he was supposed to do.
Great video so far, can't wait to finish it up!
Awesome video!
Halloween II is a great movie, its not bad, I think its one of the best sequels and a FANTASTIC movie :/ I hate when people slander it.
43:44 It’s not Tom Selleck in Halloween III, it’s Tom Atkins!
Haha I know, that slip up has been haunting me for the last year!
I wasn’t sure if this was intentional lol similar mustaches after all. So funny it was actually a slip up.
@OneTakeVids could you please make a video about Every A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET Movie Recapped and Reviewed
I saw Halloween 6 in the theater and I was a teenager and even I guessed that something went wrong with the editing.
I stil like it, though.
Although nearly a year late NERDTASTIC well done
I loved the idea of Michael passing the torch...then they ruined it. Also, I was down with the Zombie movies, but he needed to write the essential characters better. Lastly, they need to admit that he's not human. His name is "The Shape." They should lean into the supernatural aspects.
I'm so curious WHY in H20 they did not use Donald Pleasance Sam Loomis monolog instead they used some guy.
The evil dies tonight! became a literal verbal meme😂
Halloween 3 fan here
I saw the first one when I was 16 and it scared the crap out of me then . My Sister and I watched it years later thinking it wouldn't scare Us at all but ofcourse ,it did and still does Everytime ,it's the greatest horror movie of all time to me ,with little blood r gore just creepy and the breathing will still creep me out at 60 and both my kids also ,maybe I let them watch it to young but they're grown up now and it still creeps them out .
I like this guy! Rock on freaky bro!
Thankyou so much this video is essential... What I just learned from watching this though is that I literally know everything there is to know about Halloween lol that's crazy...😅 I guess I don't watch them all way too many times... Cuz I know the Halloween series like the back of my hand😂😭😭😭😩
I agree with your points about Halloween Ends. The townspeople blaming Laurie for Michael’s rampage is almost sort of believable, but I thought it was weird that Laurie didn’t defend herself. It almost seemed like the film was suggesting that she really was partly responsible for Michael’s mayhem.
Another criticism I have is that it’s never acknowledged in the film if Laurie believed Hawkins when he told her in Kills that Michael wasn’t obsessed with her and wasn’t targeting her specifically. I thought that would’ve been a huge blow to her since that belief caused her so much paranoia and ruined her relationship with her family, but in Ends it’s never mentioned if she realized her mistake.
I also thought it was very strange that Laurie wasn’t surprised that Corey was wearing Michael’s mask. It doesn’t really make sense that she didn’t ask him where he got it because the fact that he has it most likely means he knows where Michael has been hiding. For some reason that isn’t on Laurie’s mind at all.
I feel like if I was to choose the best timeline, I would go for the most recent one. Or even better just the OG Halloween 1 and 2. But for me, the newest trilogy fleshes out how a town can be haunted, or even choose the wrong person is Michael out of fear of all their lives. Halloween Ends is a bit weird and the oddball of this timeline, but I would take it over the cult version.
I think if the last film was slightly different, either Corey not being a thing or even based on the same night as the last two films, it would make more sense, a better start to end. I think Corey being a warning or red flag telling Laurie he saw it works out better. The way Michael oddly reunites the town at the end of Halloween ends makes sense, but the fight should have continued that night in 2018. I think the theme of Halloween Ends is a completely different theme, but it doesn’t fit. I’m happy to watch the OG film with these other films, and that would be my preferred route, but just a two parter like the OG is simply the best route.
I think if Halloween kills was continuing it being about Laurie, not the town would make it more personally for her, as was established in 2018.
I think I’ve only ever seen the rob zombie version when I was a kid, but this made me really wanna watch H20
The books before a movie is made is really Interesting..it gives details a movie won't...
i love rewatching this video LMAO
Your cadence and delivery in this video is very reminiscent of James Rolfe
I’ve always been obsessed with Monster Madness so there may have been some influence haha
@OneTakeVids could you please make a video about Every THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE Movie Recapped and Reviewed
Great video here.
Thank you 🙏
I saw H20 in a theater and I knew that they would use the switching with the EMT bit. I'm not the most observant guy in the world, but even I thought "Why didn't the EMT or Laurie take off the mask?" So I saw that coming.
Wow, amazing content all thw way!
The producer stated in the interview that Michael was mad at his sister because she was once his financial officer and his stocks went downhill real quick.

“John Carpenter? You a cop?” Lmfao 🤣
Unpopular opinion but I loved rob zombies halloweens…Danny McBride should be stoned for Halloween ends. Halloween kills was good af tho
Yeah they totally got the whole Corey thing wrong. If it had of been in kills or done diff it may have been ok cause I get what they were going for stoy wise but it was just the wrong thing to end a third and final movie if the series on. Maybe if Corey had of showed up in 2018 in the first one and the character arc played out over the three movies too the end it may have worked.
😂thats not tom sellick,,my friend but,,,simple mistake ,,,good video my guy.
I know still mad at myself for that slip up 😂
With Cory, he was modeled after Arnie Cunningham from Christine.
Tom Atkins not Tom Selleck in Halloween III. Love this movie. -scott
Halloween was obviously supposed to be in the fall but if you in the backgrounds all of the trees are still full of leaves. I only noticed that because I’ve watched it so many times
Ok but yeah you should do the Hellraiser movies as well
that old man in the reboot should've been his son - Dr. Samuel Loomis Jr. instead of Dr. Loomis
He is too old to be his son, but I feel he should have had a deeper connection
@@StefondJohnsonJr cab they make him his great grandson after his great grandfather died during Halloween 6 . Curse of Michael Myers
3:20:46 this man has definitely not met any child born after 2010.
Amazing, thank you sir.
Dude going back to get his ish....lmbo
33:10 alternatively you leave him no motivation. Which would make a very confusing antagonist. Fine for a movie which had zero plans to have a sequel and put butts in seats. His decision was sound he only regretted it bc there wasn’t a better execution to deliver on this. It’s objectively nonsensical to have a killer with zero motivation while also headline more than half a dozen films. Which is why IMO Resurrection is a lot better than ppl think. I know it’s fun to pile on without considering objections but so many people fail to see it’s the one movie apart from the original where no external motivation for Michael actually works and he can do this thing. It’s more or less simply a home invasion. That’s enough of a relatable motivation without sacrificing the essence of evil. And say what you want but the concept was highly topical and again objectively done in a realistic way. It’s incredibly realistic people film themselves breaking into a home for fame. In incredibly realistic it turns out it’s rigged the whole time. It’s incredibly consistent with the original s character gets the drop on a decade more cooked Michael. Hell she gives Michael all he can handle in the first movie in some scenes. And hartnett gives Michael all the hands and escapes alive in h20 and there’s many more examples. No problem a beefed out, athletic Busta who was already shown to have interest in martial arts in the film do his own purposefully bad impression of Chun Lee.
Regardless, there wouldn’t be a franchise without the sister storyline. Just as was originally intended.
In Halloween resurrection, originally Deckard was supposed to leave the party and go save his girlfriend and save the day not Busta. It would’ve been so much better if they would’ve gone with the original ending.
Incompacitates? He threw that man through a door...lmbo
Anyone else get James Rolfe vibes from this guy?
It’s the voice and way of explaining his thoughts on this video
Halloween 3 is a movie that would benefit from being remade. It’s close to being a pretty good movie, just needs a few things fixed.
Agreed!
It could benefit from being remade for sure, but I don’t get the cult following. Imo, it’s one of the worst ones. Just slightly better than Resurrection, but not as bad as 6.
@@critik_l Also agreed. I was excited to come back to this movie once I realized it had gained such a cult following but was ultimately disappointed. I think I get where the cult following comes from: some of the ideas in the movie are cool, fun, and memorable and those are the things that might stick in your mind if you saw the movie a long time ago. But IMO, the actual plot which connects all that stuff together is just too bland.
Is the movie that bad or is it that folks wanted more Laurie/ Michael storyline and that was absent in the movie?
the host reminds me of Adam Corolla
I actually liked the Rob Zombie Halloween (the first one) it's obviously not as good as the the first Halloween but it's so much better than everything else before it I loved how Mike Myers was an absolute unit to me that makes more sense he's actually scarey and the movie felt more gritty and twisted which I also loved
Some dude edited the 2nd one on RUclips and it's actually pretty good. Flows good and he cut out all the ghost mom crap. Worth a watch if you get a chance.
I think it was the best of all the movies..
I fell for the blumhouse remake. They should have made laurie and michael siblings again . Also they could have explored the telepathy in the bloodline. Thats how he always finds laurie. Idk just a thought.
Why do some people, including Gil, pronounce it Holloween? There's an 'a' in there! lol. Strange pronunciation or not, I'll be watching. Thanks for the entertainment and keep the the great work.
Tbh I’ve never heard it pronounced any other way than “holloween”, HAL-o-ween sounds weird
Haha I assume it’s a regional thing
So what if there's an a in there? How do you pronounce phone?
@@K_F_P I pronounce it 'fan', like God intended
😂
They ruined Micheol when they made him need human things to do anything... I don't llke that he can drive or over hears lory is in hospital.... When I was young I never noticed that side of him I always thought he just knew because he's evil... Also he needs to eat but why? It was better when you didn't know if he needed to eat or how he got around.... Micheol was a monster to me not juet an evil serial killer... It worked for ghost face
That dude is Tom Adkins not Tom Selleck.
Halloween started as a book ,Witten I believe sometime in the 70s.certain references that are made have to do with the book.and yes Dr Lumus said the name wrong.
