Okay coming from someone who is obsessed with Halloween this is too good that it belongs in 2025! I mean that in a good way. This film blew me away watching it. And the fact that it is a short film??!? Like what? This needs more views I am just purely shocked that this was this good. Great work to everyone who worked on this short film. Sorry that i'm a little late to this as I just saw it now but holy! Well done!
Hi there! Thank you so much for these heartwarming thoughts 🙏🏻 This was my first professional short film, a labor of love from start to finish 🧡 I’m really glad you enjoyed it! The sequel is coming out on March 15th, and it’s gonna be something else 🔥 A bigger production value, higher stakes, a more compelling story, but all that in the same tone and with the same care 🎃 Feel free to check us out on Instagram for more content!

Amazing job! Simple but not cheap, nostalgic but not overdone, excellent characterization and cinematography. So refreshing to know that there are filmmakers that still get it.
The simplicity of this film is what makes it so effective. Incredibly atmospheric and very similar in tone to the original. This is so impressive for a fan film and I really hope the next reboot takes inspiration from this, because this is how a Halloween movie should feel.
Thank you so much ! I would be thrilled if the people involved in the official films actually saw our humble contribution to the Halloween community 🧡🎃
This is hands down ABSOLUTELY the best fan made Halloween film I have ever seen and I have seen so many. No Halloween fan film I’ve seen before ever came remotely close to capturing the essence and tone of the original classic the way this film did!! Everything was spot on!!! The acting, the lighting and ambiance, the mask and the way the shape was shot. The quality is so good it reminds me of what Womp Stomp films did and is currently doing with their Friday the 13th fan films the Never Hike alone series. I would even say this film would give the latest Halloween trilogy a run for its money. I truly hope we can look forward to more films like this and hopefully a feature length or close to feature length film would be awesome!!! Thank you for this and Congratulations to a job well done!!! Look forward to seeing more!!!
I don’t know what to say… wow thank you for reaching out and share these thoughts with us 🧡 We came prepared on set to pay homage to the original film, which I love unconditionally 🙏🏻 I’m so glad you could see that and enjoyed your viewing experience 🎃 I would definitely love to do another one, tho next time I will need proper funding, as I financed this one myself. If you’d like, please share the film on your platforms and invite your friends to do the same. Getting attention towards the film is essential at this point, and all help is welcome 🔥
I got chills watching this as it was so reminiscent of the 1978 Halloween film. The cinematography was absolutely amazing! The entire way Michael Myers moved, the gait and head tilt... I wish you would make another fan film. This was so great!!! Thank you so much for making this fan film.
Thank you for letting us know about your appreciation for our humble contribution to the Halloween fans 🙏🏻🧡 If this one keeps getting attention, I would love to make a sequel sometime
This fan Film has no business being this DAMN GOOD !! Hollywood should take notes because this is how it's done !! The simplicity, the elegance , the small nods to the original makes this a classic. As a long time horror fan you gave this franchise back what it lost. Chapeau !👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🇨🇦
Whoa 😳 Thanks man, this means a lot to me 🙏🏻 From the start I approached this project with love and respect for the original, I’ve been vocal about it.. but the fact the the result itself reflects that mindset and really hits the mark when it comes to the Halloween fans… I don’t know what to say 🔥 I’m grateful, truly
Feel free ro share the film on your social medias if you’d like, all help is welcome to get this film more visibility 🙏🏻 Maybe it will catch Hollywood’s attention at some point 😶 I’m a dreamer haha
Halloween Stalks is a refreshing and utterly satisfying entry into the Halloween and Michael Myers universe. A skillfully crafted, cinematic experience, fulfilling a genuinely atmospheric setting, along with alluring audio that sends deep chills. The callbacks to the original 1978 film are thoughtfully and tastefully done. Effective in its simplicity as intended in its roots. Dare I say Hollywood?- Absolutely! Purely and simply brilliant! A must watch for all fans.
Thank you for these thoughtful words dear friend ! From the get go, I was inspired by the quality of your work, thank you for providing such a great looking mask 🙏🏻 Without it, I’m not sure this film would’ve seen the light of day 🧡
As a big Halloween fan, I just wanted to say that this film was AMAZING. I think this perfectly captured the essence of The Shape and was a fantastic ode to John Carpenter's timeless classic. The cinematography was stunning, and the music was the cherry on top. Truly an awesome film 🔥🎃🔪
Can’t imagine all the hard work went through this making absolutely incredible 😮 🍿 you guys did amazing job, what she did is smart & gutsy to hide so happy for all of you 👏 💐
This was beautifully done! I’ve been a Halloween fan for as long as I can remember. Nothing scared me more as a kid than Michael Myers. You captured that fear the way the movies did!
One of, if not the best Halloween fan film. The Shapes movements & mannerisms were on point. Much better acting than most fan films as well. 10/10. Part 2 when?!
Hey thanks man 🧡 I’m happy you liked our iteration of the character 🎃 I’d love to do a Part II, but it will dependnof how this one performs 🙏🏻 Feel free to share it in your social medias and to ask your friends to do the same, all help is welcome to get more attention on the film ! Take care
Hi absolutely blown away by this fantastic movie thank you so much ❤the legend of Michael lives on amazing acting huge congratulations to everyone involved 👏
OMG! This is by far the best Halloween fan film I have ever seen! Theater quality and the acting was on point. Michael was perfect. The aesthetic was amazing. More please!!
😯 wow thank you so much 🙌🏻 I’d be delighted to create more Shape mayhem 🔥 Let’s see how this one does in the foreseeable future, and perhaps a second one could come to life sooner than later
Here after seeing it featured on WWAM, had to show some love and give kudos to the creator/s for really doing their thing here! Excellent job! The passion behind the work is evident in the final product and you guys really nailed so many aspects, i don’t even know where to begin. lol Loved the idea of having her cover herself with all the leaves, first time seeing that in a horror film to my recollection and it’s something that would really happen. Beautifully shot, musical cues on point, Michael looks great. Great job everyone involved! Wishing everyone the absolute best and looking forward to more from you. ❤
Same here in general with your sentiments, and I also found it through WWAM. I definitely agree with you about the scene with the leaves. I really felt like that was a kind of logical, panic mode survival instinct thing to do and I don't think I've ever seen anything done quite like that in horror.
This was fantastic and felt like an extension of Carpenter’s work in 78. Thank you for understanding that you don’t always need the gore and thank you understanding The Shape! Loved this!!! Great job!!
Ya'll DID THAT! The cinematography, acting, chase scene, the kills, the lighting---like WTF! AMAZING! TOP TIER! This is quality! Michael MEANT BUSINESS! 10/10!!! GIVE US MORE!
FINALLY A true Halloween fan film that gets the cinematography right ✅️. Michael looks like The Shape we need! Everything fits, nothing looks over the top or goofy. Theater of the mind served WELL DONE!
I really applaud all the effort done here. The acting and especially the actor playing Michael he was spot on with mannerisms/movements. Very well done. Some of these should be made into far longer feature films. Take notice Hollywood.
I appreciate every word my friend, thank you very much 🤲🏻🧡 Feel free to share the films on your social medias so more people know about it! Happy spooky season!
I'M SO EXCITED Edit: Just finished watching this and man what a masterpiece of a film truly. This will definitely be a film I'll watch every halloween🧡🎃🔪
10/10 great work. This film captures the feeling of the original movie really well. The stalking and the kills were very effective as well. A lot of other people would just complain that there aren't really any on-screen kills but the implication/discovery of the kill is done just as effectively as it would be if the kill was on-screen. The pacing is perfect, the Halloween vibe is very good as well. The mask was really good as well.
Thank you ! Yes it was a risk we took, not showing the kills on screen, but it was a calculated one. I always thought that true horror ain’t what you see, but what you imagine 😱
That was honestly outstanding This was so nicely shot and you can see the effort and planning this had put in it The tree shots with Michael when he was stalking Paul was deffo a Easter egg to the scene in the original with him stalking Annie. Honestly love it so much. The idea of having Michaels mask in the intro instead of a pumpkin was interesting and also the factor of having it pull out instead of zoom in. Gave me chills with that chase scene and the entire thing had me smiling cause this is something I love seeing. Halloween fan films are brilliant and this is one I'll remember as being well thought out and true to the original and it's simple source material Well done honestly 🎃💜
This is truly incredible! It feels like 78' and the score is brilliant and not to mention cinematography! Well done, seriously! This is up there with Colemans Halloween Inferno series in my opinion, fantastic!
Thank you so much, it truly means a lot 🧡 It was made out of love and respect for him and his work, it would be a dream if he ended up watching it someday 🙏🏻🎃
Great work! From Michael being on point, to the score, to the acting, to the suspense, and even paying some homage (behind the tree shot and the stab through the wall kill) amazing work all around. The things I loved the most were the lighting, atmosphere and cinematography. I truly hope that the next Halloween movie/remake/reboot (or maybe even a Halloween Stalks II 👀) looks and feels something similar to this. Awesome job and I can't wait to see what you and your team do next 🎃🧡🔥
Thank you so much for such a heartwarming review 🧡 I truly hope I get to make a follow up 🔥 or if Hollywood wants me at the helm of the next one, I’m in haha !
Been a while since i've seen a fan film that gave me chills! Simple and effective. Thats what always made Halloween work and you guys nailed it. The Shape was presented/shown perfectly. The actor who played him did a fantastic job. Everything in general felt very cohesive. On a technical standpoint, very well done. The sound, music, editing, etc...Great. Look forward to seeing what you guys come up with next! :)
Thank you very much! It was a blast bringing our iteration of the Shape to the screen, and we were very careful to render it as faithfully as possible to the 1978 character we all love 🧡
The Shape actor in this really did good job on the emotionless robotronic movements of Micheal. I really loved James Jude Courtney for the same reason. The tone and cinematography in this actually reminded me a lot of the 1978 flashback intro in Halloween Kills.
Thank you so much 🧡 This is my first professional short film ever, and I opted for something short, but well executed so I could develop my filmmaking skills. It was auto-produced and self-financed. Now that this one’s out, let’s see if it gets enough attention. If it plays out well, I could launch a GoFundMe campaing at some point to finance the next one !
Thank you for the kind words 🙏🏻 I think it’s all a question of balance, less is more in a way. You have to show him but not too much, in order to make him scary and menacing
You guys get it man that's all I can say y'all understand I want a Netflix series HBO Max or something just like this I don't think it would need too many seasons heck maybe even just 1 but stories like this muuaaahh perfection this captures exactly what John Carpenter was saying about the character thank you guys!
I am in full awe with this film, it was shot, scored and produced beautifully. Congratulations to your entire team. My only wish is that it would’ve been longer.
As a huge Halloween fan y’all did such a wonderful job achieving the same energy of the original. The time and money you put into this didn’t go unnoticed! Would love to work with you on future projects I’m a filmmaker myself in st louis so if you ever needed help on anything I’d love to. Great film guys!
Thank you so much Jake, this film was made out of love for the franchise, I’m really glad you could feel our passion for it ! I’ll remember your offer my friend 🙏🏻🔥
Great job. The pacing was nice. The soundtrack was a definite plus. The actor portraying the Shape captured the character's movements really well. The lighting looked great. The hard work put into this short film paid off well.
Thank you so much for this stellar review 🎃🧡 Really glad you had a good time watching the film ! Feel free to share it on your social medias, all help is welcomd to bring more attention on it ! And follow us on IG, there’s plenty of content, bts and Q&As to learn more about the making process ! Thanks again 🧡 IG - @HalloweenStalks
I'm impressed! This is very well crafted. No stupid jumpscares, just a nice level of tension and creepyness. And the mask looks great as well. It's always nice to see a good Michael Myers mask.
Thank you very much, I’m glad you enjoyed our humble contribution to the Halloween community 🎃 Finding the right tone to pay homage to the original was very important to me, so comments like yours mean everything 🙏🏻 Follow the official IG account if you’d like, there’s a lot of bts content and Q&As ! IG - @HalloweenStalks
This was an EXCELLENT film! This was clearly done by people who love the franchise right down to the little nods and easter eggs from previous Halloween films. Great shots and atmosphere as well. I would love to see another one!
Thank you very much for this fantastic feedback 🙏🏻 This film was made for people just like you, who can appreciate those little details 🎃 Thanks for reaching out
Excellent job capturing the true essence of the Halloween movies. This short film has more heart to it than some of the missed opportunities of multiple entries in the series. Well done!
Thank you, truly, it means a lot. This was meant as a love letter to the original, as well as for the fans. I’m really glad you had a good time watching it 🙏🏻
Everything is pretty perfect, the Music and Atmosphere in particular capture the original flawlessly. The execution is straightforward, a bit overused, but well done. I love the fact that The Shape moves *exactly* like he should, I do wish we could've gotten to see a death scene but the muffled attack at the end was nicely mixed. I don't know why she ran back to the house, for a second I thought it was a neighbor, but I would've ran to Crystal Lake before back home in that scenario.
Thank you very much for your feedback ! Glad you enjoyed the film ! And yes, I get what you say about her running back to the house. In my mind, The Shape knew all along she was in the ditch, but he was toying with her. When he walks away, she runs in the opposite direction, towards the house. Therefore she thinks she’s safe to go back in, to grab car keys and get the hell out of there or something. But The Shape knew better.. 🎃
@@HalloweenStalks Michael is the master trickster, and I like how clever he is in the og so that stays within character and this approach. thanks for the explanation and I hope to see another project from the same team, this was stellar work!
This is fan film? This is outright a better and more tonal capturing of the original than the last two actual movies we got, and I sincerely mean that. Good freaking work.
It means a lot man, thank you 🙏🏻 This was made out of love and passion to pay homage to the original 🧡 I’m truly happy you could sense it while watching 🎃 Feel free to share it, all help is welcome to bring more attention to it !
You managed to capture the essence of what made Michael Myers so damn terrifying in that original film that so many of the sequels have failed to do. He was quite literally the Shape. Such an amazing piece of art. Thank you to all those involved!!!
Thank you so much for your heartwarming message dear friend, this film was made out of love, it’s always a treat when people reach out to tell us they enjoyed it 🧡
This is miles better and way scarier than the last few studio Halloween movies. They’ve lost the shadowy, boogeyman aspect of Myers in all of the movies for the last few decades. They need to watch this and take a few notes for the next movie. This is great!
Hey thank you so much !! 🙏🏻 That would be a dream come true if my film made its way to the studio execs haha 😅 But we never know right ? Feel free to share the film on your social medias to help bring more attention on it, it’s the first step 🔥🎃
Omg, this was amazing. You need to direct the next feature reboot. The atmosphere, lighting, score, realism, and the best Michael Myers mask and walk since the original. This is what a Halloween film should be. Made my night as a lifelong Halloween fan. Thank you!
Your comment truly made me smile, thank you very much for your kind words 🙌🏻 So happy to know you enjoyed our humble offering to the Halloween fans 🧡 We put a lot of heart into our work
Hands down the best Halloween fan film I've ever seen. I loved the entire production, but some things you nailed were the lighting, the acting, the sound and music, the chemistry between your two leads, and most of all the subtlety of the entire production. You NEVER went over-the-top with anything! You were completely subtle and you kept your production reigned in. Feather in your cap! Compliments to your two lead actors for their great acting and realistic portrayal. Again, you 100% nailed this!
Thank you so much, your words are truly heartwarming 🧡 We worked so hard on every single detail to make this as close to perfection as we could 🙏🏻 So glad you enjoyed the result ! We’re currently working on a sequel, feel free to follow @HalloweenStalks on Instagram to keep up to date 🎃
When a film is made by fans for fans, one can feel the passion and love the creators have for the source material 🧡 Happy to know you enjoyed our humble contribution to the Halloween community 🎃
Thanks Connor 🧡 I have a feeling this film will get recognition, regardless of how long it takes. Too much love and hard work went into it, its only outcome is to shine and entertain our wonderful community 🙏🏻🎃
Thank you for your kind words and for giving our humble fan film a chance 🙏🏻 It was my first professional short film and I deep dived into it in hope of making something memorable 🧡 I enjoyed every minute of it, and I’m even more happy with the second one, which is set to be released on March 15th!
This literally looks like its been shot by john! it is so good, 144k views everybody? come on and give them some likes!!! it is a really well done film
Thanks, I truly appreciate the kind words 🧡 Would love to make a follow up 🙏🏻 This one was short because it was self-financed and I wanted it to feel cinematic 🎃 Quality over quantity !
Thank you so much, it truly means a lot 🧡🙏🏻 Feel free to share on your social medias and talk about it, the most challenging aspect of a film is to make it known and visible to the world!
I love this film because it honestly reminds me of like the movie Hush in a way and I love how you guys like made it simple and didn’t make some stupid side story up with the characters it’s was amazing!!!! Plz make more🙏🏻🎃
Wow! 🧡 this was absolutely amazing! The acting, the ambiance, The Shape.....Incredible! As a huge fan of the 1978 film - you knocked it out of the park! Well done, congratulations! You're future is bright!
Wow..this is my genius friend and Client who wrote this and let me just say this is so much more believable than any Halloween I ever seen just from the first trick or treat he played it perfectly how is this version of the movie not being picked up and put in theaters yet
I have watched countless fan films hoping to come across something decent. I hadn't, until right now. This is absolutely incredible. High quality in every sense. A really good actor in the lead role. A creepy Myers whom you have kept in the shadows and who we only get glimpses of. Expertly directed and produced. Wonderful score too. Honestly, this is superb. Well done!
Thank you a thousand times for these kind words my friend 🧡 Crafting a film ain’t an easy task, it’s actually very, Very difficult. I have tremendous respect for every single filmmaker who committed to make a Halloween fan film and put themselves out there. Sure, the quality ain’t consistent throughout all those fan films when it comes to the technical aspects, but one thing that is consistent is the love all the creators have for the source material 🔥 These fan films inspired me to make my own 🎃
Okay coming from someone who is obsessed with Halloween this is too good that it belongs in 2025! I mean that in a good way. This film blew me away watching it.

You made him scary again
There’s just something terrifying seeing Michael Myers walking around in the middle of the woods at night. Great job!
Thank you very much, we had fun exploring some new ground with The Shape 🎃🔪
The simplicity of this film is what makes it so effective. Incredibly atmospheric and very similar in tone to the original. This is so impressive for a fan film and I really hope the next reboot takes inspiration from this, because this is how a Halloween movie should feel.
Thank you so much ! I would be thrilled if the people involved in the official films actually saw our humble contribution to the Halloween community 🧡🎃

Hey thanks for your kind words! Stick around, part 2 drops this friday and it is, in my opinion, a way better film than the first one 🔥
Great work! From Michael being on point, to the score, to the acting, to the suspense, and even paying some homage (behind the tree shot and the stab through the wall kill) amazing work all around. The things I loved the most were the lighting, atmosphere and cinematography. I truly hope that the next Halloween movie/remake/reboot (or maybe even a Halloween Stalks II 👀) looks and feels something similar to this. Awesome job and I can't wait to see what you and your team do next 🎃🧡🔥
Thank you so much for such a heartwarming review 🧡 I truly hope I get to make a follow up 🔥 or if Hollywood wants me at the helm of the next one, I’m in haha !
Pretty interesting

Man whoever played Michael had the walk perfect! H2”81” vibe good job!
Great shots too! Wish it was longer
Really glad you enjoyed our take on The Shape ! We had a blast crafting the character in a suitable way 🎃
Probably one of the best Halloween short films out there. Absolutely loved this. Please make more in the near future! :)
Thank you dear friend 🔥 I would love that ! So glad you enjoyed the film 🙌🏻
Straight Up Mic Drop!!!...Outstanding!!!!!
Thank you my friend, I truly appreciate you watching our film 🎃🔥
@@HalloweenStalks You (and your team) managed to hit every beat that H:Ends didn't....
These was eery and had the feel of the original amazing job!
Thank you ! We had a blast paying this homage to John Carpenter’s masterpiece 🧡
Cinematography/atmosphere and the score is what made Halloween & Halloween II so special in my opinion and this has it
We came on set prepared, having a precise idea of the look we were aiming for. And our composer did so well with the score 🔥
Been a while since i've seen a fan film that gave me chills! Simple and effective. Thats what always made Halloween work and you guys nailed it. The Shape was presented/shown perfectly. The actor who played him did a fantastic job. Everything in general felt very cohesive. On a technical standpoint, very well done. The sound, music, editing, etc...Great. Look forward to seeing what you guys come up with next! :)
That is a fantastic review, thank you very much for reaching out and letting us know what you thought of it 🙌🏻🎃
This is very well done! I've seen quite a few of these. This is definitely one of the best. You capture Michael's essence perfectly.
Thank you very much! It was a blast bringing our iteration of the Shape to the screen, and we were very careful to render it as faithfully as possible to the 1978 character we all love 🧡
Nice job mate. Very interesting
Thank you so much ! 🎃
The Shape actor in this really did good job on the emotionless robotronic movements of Micheal. I really loved James Jude Courtney for the same reason. The tone and cinematography in this actually reminded me a lot of the 1978 flashback intro in Halloween Kills.
Thank you very much ! I’ll make sure to let the actor know you enjoyed his portrayal of The Shape 🎃
Kick ass job ! I really enjoyed it! Hope to see more from you
Thank you so much for watching our humble contribution to the Halloween Universe, I’m glad you had a good time watching 🎃🔥
Easily THE BEST Halloween fan film I've seen. Wonderfully done.
Very kind of you to say, thank you 🙌🏻🎃
Very interesting, loved the cinematic look and hope for a part 2 if is possible!!! cant imagine what you guys could make with a high budget 😮
Thank you so much 🧡 This is my first professional short film ever, and I opted for something short, but well executed so I could develop my filmmaking skills. It was auto-produced and self-financed. Now that this one’s out, let’s see if it gets enough attention. If it plays out well, I could launch a GoFundMe campaing at some point to finance the next one !
This is the epitome of what Michael is. Not scary, but haunting. Amazing work.
Thank you for the kind words 🙏🏻 I think it’s all a question of balance, less is more in a way. You have to show him but not too much, in order to make him scary and menacing
This was very well done! Love the atmosphere! The Shape was captured great! The music was perfect! 🤙🏼🔪
I truly appreciate you taking the time to watch my humble contribution to the Halloween Universe man 🙏🏻 Thanks 🎃
You guys get it man that's all I can say y'all understand I want a Netflix series HBO Max or something just like this I don't think it would need too many seasons heck maybe even just 1 but stories like this muuaaahh perfection this captures exactly what John Carpenter was saying about the character thank you guys!
Big thank you man ! Glad you could sense the homage we tended to pay to the original movie 🙌🏻
I am in full awe with this film, it was shot, scored and produced beautifully. Congratulations to your entire team. My only wish is that it would’ve been longer.
🧡x one million 🙏🏻
Couldn't agree with ya anymore on that honestly this fan film was amazing 🎃
John Carpenter would be proud of this.
This means a lot my friend, thank you very much 🧡 I would die if he ended seeing it someday 🎃
honestly this must be the most professional halloween fan film
Thank you ! I worked my heart out to make this a cinematic experience 🎃
As a huge Halloween fan y’all did such a wonderful job achieving the same energy of the original. The time and money you put into this didn’t go unnoticed! Would love to work with you on future projects I’m a filmmaker myself in st louis so if you ever needed help on anything I’d love to. Great film guys!
Thank you so much Jake, this film was made out of love for the franchise, I’m really glad you could feel our passion for it ! I’ll remember your offer my friend 🙏🏻🔥
This is what we needed than all 3 new ones. Recreate the whole thing and get a epic ending we all deserve!
Thank you for watching our film, glad to know you enjoyed it 🔥
Great work! Nailed that spooky atmosphere needed for a Halloween Film! 🔥
Thank you 🙏🏻 A great deal of attention was paid to every single detail 🔥
Great job. The pacing was nice. The soundtrack was a definite plus. The actor portraying the Shape captured the character's movements really well. The lighting looked great. The hard work put into this short film paid off well.

The scenery is gorgeous btw why autumn is beautiful dang it 🥲 🎃 🔪
Amazing! You guys got Micheals look down perfectly
Hey thank you ! We came prepared, our Shape was carefully crafted !
I'm impressed! This is very well crafted. No stupid jumpscares, just a nice level of tension and creepyness. And the mask looks great as well. It's always nice to see a good Michael Myers mask.
Thank you for your kind words, it was a labor of love and I wanted it to be a worthy offering to the Halloween fans 🤲🏻🧡
The amount of fear that was in me when I watched this. It's a nice, toned down version and I love it!
Thank you very much, I’m glad you enjoyed our humble contribution to the Halloween community 🎃 Finding the right tone to pay homage to the original was very important to me, so comments like yours mean everything 🙏🏻 Follow the official IG account if you’d like, there’s a lot of bts content and Q&As !

This was an EXCELLENT film! This was clearly done by people who love the franchise right down to the little nods and easter eggs from previous Halloween films. Great shots and atmosphere as well. I would love to see another one!
Thank you very much for this fantastic feedback 🙏🏻 This film was made for people just like you, who can appreciate those little details 🎃 Thanks for reaching out
I had to double check and make sure this wasn’t an actual Halloween film. You did it justice in every single way. Bravo
I’m truly grateful for your kind words 🙏🏻🧡🎃 So glad you enjoyed our humble contribution to the Halloween community
Excellent job capturing the true essence of the Halloween movies. This short film has more heart to it than some of the missed opportunities of multiple entries in the series. Well done!
Thank you, truly, it means a lot. This was meant as a love letter to the original, as well as for the fans. I’m really glad you had a good time watching it 🙏🏻
This is how Michael was supposed to be portrayed, kept in the shadows ‼️ Great Job!
Thank you very much, I’m glad you like our iteration of The Shape 🔪🔥
really like the setting of Michael being in the woods, gives off a more creepy and desolate vibe to it.
It was a fun shoot for sure, the creepiness of the woods offers a lot of possibilities 🔪
Very good fan film. Michael Myers is great and the suspense of it made it seem like a 2-hour movie and not a 10 minute movie. Good job guys!
Hey thanks! Yes it was a challenge to give this short film a full feature feel, and I’m glad it shows in the end result! Thanks for reaching out 🔥🔪
This is actually really good. Thank you RUclips algorithm.
Thank you for giving our humble offering a chance 🎃🧡
Michael looks better than he did in most of the studio movies. Excellent work. I thoroughly enjoyed ità
Thank you so much, I made it a mission to have a worthy Shape on set 🎃
Everything is pretty perfect, the Music and Atmosphere in particular capture the original flawlessly. The execution is straightforward, a bit overused, but well done. I love the fact that The Shape moves *exactly* like he should, I do wish we could've gotten to see a death scene but the muffled attack at the end was nicely mixed. I don't know why she ran back to the house, for a second I thought it was a neighbor, but I would've ran to Crystal Lake before back home in that scenario.
Thank you very much for your feedback ! Glad you enjoyed the film ! And yes, I get what you say about her running back to the house. In my mind, The Shape knew all along she was in the ditch, but he was toying with her. When he walks away, she runs in the opposite direction, towards the house. Therefore she thinks she’s safe to go back in, to grab car keys and get the hell out of there or something. But The Shape knew better.. 🎃
@@HalloweenStalks Michael is the master trickster, and I like how clever he is in the og so that stays within character and this approach. thanks for the explanation and I hope to see another project from the same team, this was stellar work!
@@mega6836 My very pleasure ! And yes stay tuned, we might come up with something new in the future ! Follow us on IG ! @HalloweenStalks
This was awesome, probably my favourite Halloween fan film I've seen
Very kind of you to say, thank you for giving our film a chance, I’m glad you enjoyed it 🧡🎃
This is fan film? This is outright a better and more tonal capturing of the original than the last two actual movies we got, and I sincerely mean that. Good freaking work.
It means a lot man, thank you 🙏🏻 This was made out of love and passion to pay homage to the original 🧡 I’m truly happy you could sense it while watching 🎃 Feel free to share it, all help is welcome to bring more attention to it !
You managed to capture the essence of what made Michael Myers so damn terrifying in that original film that so many of the sequels have failed to do. He was quite literally the Shape. Such an amazing piece of art. Thank you to all those involved!!!
Thank you so much for your heartwarming message dear friend, this film was made out of love, it’s always a treat when people reach out to tell us they enjoyed it 🧡
This is miles better and way scarier than the last few studio Halloween movies. They’ve lost the shadowy, boogeyman aspect of Myers in all of the movies for the last few decades. They need to watch this and take a few notes for the next movie. This is great!
Hey thank you so much !! 🙏🏻 That would be a dream come true if my film made its way to the studio execs haha 😅 But we never know right ? Feel free to share the film on your social medias to help bring more attention on it, it’s the first step 🔥🎃
WOW!! That was awesome! Had the vibe of the original for sure! Love it! 🎃
Really glad you liked it, we worked hard to get that og vibe 🧡
Absolutly amazing!!
Thank you so much !
Amazing! I saw Halloween II at the drive inn in 1981 and this definitely gave me the chills! 😳
It’s a real treat to read ! We worked hard to get the tone right 🙏🏻🎃 Thank you !
This is more than a fan movie. This is what Halloween remake should have been.
Aww thank you so much ! So much work was put into this to make it as good as possible 🧡
Fantastic production guys. Top notch cinematography. Perfect pacing and great acting. Best fan film I’ve seen full stop.
@@jjrbanana Thank you so much! It means a lot 🙏🏻🎃 What was your favorite scene?
This was really well done, it really captures the feeling of dread and impending doom like the 1978 original.
Thank you 🎃🔥 We worked hard to get the right tone 🙏🏻 Happy to know you enjoyed the film !
Omg, this was amazing. You need to direct the next feature reboot. The atmosphere, lighting, score, realism, and the best Michael Myers mask and walk since the original. This is what a Halloween film should be. Made my night as a lifelong Halloween fan. Thank you!
Your comment truly made me smile, thank you very much for your kind words 🙌🏻 So happy to know you enjoyed our humble offering to the Halloween fans 🧡 We put a lot of heart into our work
This is actually the best Halloween fan-film I've ever seen, the cinematography and the acting is 👌
Thank you very much 🎃🧡 We crafted it very carefully !
Hands down the best Halloween fan film I've ever seen. I loved the entire production, but some things you nailed were the lighting, the acting, the sound and music, the chemistry between your two leads, and most of all the subtlety of the entire production. You NEVER went over-the-top with anything! You were completely subtle and you kept your production reigned in. Feather in your cap! Compliments to your two lead actors for their great acting and realistic portrayal.
Again, you 100% nailed this!
Thank you so much, your words are truly heartwarming 🧡 We worked so hard on every single detail to make this as close to perfection as we could 🙏🏻 So glad you enjoyed the result ! We’re currently working on a sequel, feel free to follow @HalloweenStalks on Instagram to keep up to date 🎃
Brilliant. Would make a great opening scene. Thank youuuuuuuu ❤❤❤❤
Thank you very much 🔥🧡 I think so too ! It would set the mood up effectively !
Really solid job on this fan film. It says something that fan films are better and more true to what Halloween is compared to actual movie producers.
When a film is made by fans for fans, one can feel the passion and love the creators have for the source material 🧡 Happy to know you enjoyed our humble contribution to the Halloween community 🎃
This is underrated, the atmosphere and songs are perfect. Good job! 🙏
Thanks Connor 🧡 I have a feeling this film will get recognition, regardless of how long it takes. Too much love and hard work went into it, its only outcome is to shine and entertain our wonderful community 🙏🏻🎃
This was better than the whole Halloween ends movie you guys a fantastic job. 🤘🏽😎🤘🏽
Thank you dear friend 🙌🏻🧡
As a huge Halloween fan I have to say this is fantastic! Very atmospheric in the woods, I almost forgot it was fan made, well done!!
Thank you for your kind words and for giving our humble fan film a chance 🙏🏻 It was my first professional short film and I deep dived into it in hope of making something memorable 🧡 I enjoyed every minute of it, and I’m even more happy with the second one, which is set to be released on March 15th!
This literally looks like its been shot by john! it is so good, 144k views everybody? come on and give them some likes!!! it is a really well done film
Thank you so much for your kind words 🙏🏻🎃 Keep an eye out for the sequel, it’s coming out in two weeks 🧡🔥
Amazing work, looked like a high budget Halloween movie, this needs a longer sequel
Thanks, I truly appreciate the kind words 🧡 Would love to make a follow up 🙏🏻 This one was short because it was self-financed and I wanted it to feel cinematic 🎃 Quality over quantity !
LOVED this!!! This was 10000 times better than anything we got from this new trilogy. Kudos!
Thank you so much, it truly means a lot 🧡🙏🏻 Feel free to share on your social medias and talk about it, the most challenging aspect of a film is to make it known and visible to the world!
I love this film because it honestly reminds me of like the movie Hush in a way and I love how you guys like made it simple and didn’t make some stupid side story up with the characters it’s was amazing!!!! Plz make more🙏🏻🎃
Thank you so much for reaching out ! It’s the second time someone bring Hush as a reference, which is awesome 🧡🎃 Glad you enjoyed our film 🙏🏻
my god this is a REALLY good fan made, it made me feel like an actual halloween movie. I feel sorry for the guy :( they seemed to loved each other
They really did love each other 🧡 But their fate made a good film 💁🏻♂️ Thank you so much for watching 🎃
GOD DAMN THE NOSTALGIA IS INSANE
And it’s not over, the sequel will feel as much nostalgic 🎃🧡
This was much better than many of the new halloween movies.
Thank you very much, I appreciate it ! It was fun to reconnect with the energy of the original 🎃
Awesome work! Thank you all for making it. I really enjoyed it.
It’s very kind of you to say 🙏🏻 Thank you for taking a chance with my humble offering to the Halloween community 🎃
Truly one of the best fan films ive ever seen, and trust me ive had my share.
Thank you very much 🙏🏻 A lot of work was put into this humble contribution to the Halloween fans
That was good kinda captures the old style halloween movies so good job.
Thank you ! 🎃 We worked hard to get that classic tone, we really wanted to pay homage to the original 🧡
Congratulations you did a great job, I wish you all the best and prosperity
It’s very kind of you to say, thank you 🧡🎃
When Michael stood there looking for Lauren at 10:28, it scared me. This was a great fan film.
Thank you so much, it was a blessing to make 🎃🧡
Wow! 🧡 this was absolutely amazing! The acting, the ambiance, The Shape.....Incredible! As a huge fan of the 1978 film - you knocked it out of the park! Well done, congratulations! You're future is bright!
Thank you 🙏🏻 I truly appreciate you reaching out and letting us know you enjoyed our film 🧡 It was made out of love for the original
Wow..this is my genius friend and Client who wrote this and let me just say this is so much more believable than any Halloween I ever seen just from the first trick or treat he played it perfectly how is this version of the movie not being picked up and put in theaters yet
Thank you very much for the kind words, I’m really glad you had a good time watching our fan film ! Feel free to share it on your social medias 🎃🧡
Woooooooo! Yeah! So cinematography awesome. YEEEAHH. 👏🏾🎃👍🏾
Thank you ! I did my best to give it a cinematic feel, I wanted to make a fan film that felt cannon and legitimate 🧡🎃
I have watched countless fan films hoping to come across something decent. I hadn't, until right now. This is absolutely incredible. High quality in every sense. A really good actor in the lead role. A creepy Myers whom you have kept in the shadows and who we only get glimpses of. Expertly directed and produced. Wonderful score too. Honestly, this is superb. Well done!
Thank you a thousand times for these kind words my friend 🧡 Crafting a film ain’t an easy task, it’s actually very, Very difficult. I have tremendous respect for every single filmmaker who committed to make a Halloween fan film and put themselves out there. Sure, the quality ain’t consistent throughout all those fan films when it comes to the technical aspects, but one thing that is consistent is the love all the creators have for the source material 🔥 These fan films inspired me to make my own 🎃
