1:34:03 There is an special Easter egg hidden in the soundtrack. Director David Gordon Green recently revealed, "Very subtle, but in the original film there's this scene where Laurie is walking down the sidewalk, and she is singing a song to herself. Says, 'I wish I had you all alone, just the two of us.' And it was just that they couldn't afford the rights to a song. So Jamie [Lee Curtis] and John [Carpenter] kind of free-styled that song on the set, and that became that. And then I had a band write the version of the song, and then when the boy and his father are driving the truck to the bus crash, that song was playing on the radio. So those deep cuts - there's a good handful of those."
Hello, do you and your girlfriend have a personal relationship with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ? The Son of The One and Only Living God. That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. - Romans 10:9
1:09:03 SPOILERS The reason Michael put the blanket over Vicki is the same reason he placed Dave's body on the wall. He was recreating his murders from the first film. Sure it's fan service, and sure, putting the blanket on Vicki wasn't the same as him wearing it. But seeing that he's still going after Laurie after 40 years, I wouldn't put it out of the realm of possibility that Michael would want to relive seeing the corpses of Bob and Linda.
Something I liked about the movie is the small details they put. Like in the first scene you see the scar on Michael's neck from the needle and the blank white eye on his left eye from being poked with the hanger.
Yes, so glad you guys are talking about it. Slight spoiler alert (this is before I've listened all the way through your guys podcast): How many people thought that Michael's new doctor was gonna take over the killer role when he tossed the Shape mask on? You know, become the Roy of the Halloween franchise Edit: yes! ^ You guys mentioned it, him taking over as the shape would have been the strangest thing haha
That kill caught me off guard just because of how little that kid was and how brutally Michael killed him. Literally my jaw dropped, excellent first kill of the movie.
He was armed...if he wasnt I bet Michael would have tossed him out or just let the kid run...but then again that kid seemed to be a teen, or atleast as old as Jimmy and his friend from h2o (hockey skate victim) which makes him fair game...cause whether your 13 or 19, your still a teen!
@@marcin5690 I suppose the brutality of it was largely merited on the fact that the victim was a child. So it was, subjectively, a brutal murder. I guess I should have prefaced my comment with "in my opinion".
Laurie set up this whoole house and has multiple options on what she can do with Michael my guess is there was another escape exit she had made just incase she had gotten stuck in there. So idk maybe Michael found that exit who know
@@XanderIsUcey That's pretty much the part I found so dumb. She sets up the house to burn him instead of just... Locking him in the basement and shooting him in the face or even throwing multiple grenades inside.
My thought: While Laurie's daughter Karen is pretending to be afraid of Michael to lure him to the opening of the stairs, Karen sold it so well that Allyson thought Karen really wasn't going to shoot Michael, so off-screen Allyson unlocked/unbarricaded an escape tunnel she found in the wall or floor. When the Strode Trio escape the house and Michael's human instinct kicks in to get the fuck out of the fire that's consuming him, he's banging on all the walls and floor and shit to get out of there and finds it and either completely escapes or seals himself in said tunnel. My other thought is that the basement was the arsenal room of course, so there would probably be a fireproof safe...the only thing is, Michael is a big fucking dude, I doubt he'd fit in a rifle safe
One particular thing I noticed - during the shooting range montage where Laurie is practicing, all her hits are headshots. Because she’s learned that Michael can take bullets to the body and keep going. Also thought it was cool how with the delightfully short glimpse we see of his face, we see his eye is scared from where Laurie attacked him from the closet. So much attention to detail and I was giddy the whole time watching it
The only thing that somewhat took me out of the movie was her leaning against the door where he could easily break the window and grab her! She wouldn’t do that, but I knew WHY the movie did it! Awesome sequel with perfect new additions and nostalgia!
Something else that’s an attention to detail (somewhat). Both H20 and 2018 deal with Laurie having severe PTSD from her encounter with Michael in 1978. However, they both go in different directions in terms of the fight or flight response. H20 shows Laurie if she chose flight and 2018 shows her if she chose fight
I know this is an old comment but I seen the preview for Halloween kills in the theater Sunday and oh my gosh talk about giddy, I'm so excited to see it!
Of course this isn't a perfect movie. The original isn't perfect either. But these two films stand out as staples of the slasher genre. The film had one goal. Make Michael fucking Myers scary again. And I'm pleased beyond belief that it succeeded.
Yeah, I kept a tally in my head. I think the count is 17. If you don’t want spoilers, turn away now. 1. The dancing kid 2. The hunting dad 3. The guard the kid runs into 4. The mechanic 5. The gas station clerk 6. Aaron 7. Dana 8. The woman Michael hammers 9. The woman who gets the phone call 10. Dave 11. Vicky 12. The other friend (I forget his name) 13. Sheriff Hawkins 14. The doctor 15-16. The two cops 17. Allison’s dad
@@DeadMeat The Sartain twist was decent and Michael driving makes sense, calm down. Also, really? Michael dressing up someone as a ghost makes no sense? The guy who took a tombstone and brought it to a victim he murdered? You sound pretentious when you talk about scenes like that, so please stop doing that. "Fuck you, it's a dumb explaination" like shut up already. Don't mention garbage arguments 10 times.
Theres a lot of debate on Michael snapping a childs neck. I'm sticking with the theory that the writers wanted to establish that no one is safe from Michael, and the fact the the kid had a gun and was semi threat/obstacle for Michael to take his dads car. I know he could have pushed the kid out of the vehicle or just knocked him out but c'mon Michael's a killer dammit haha!!!!!
JustYourLocal NintendoNerd after the kid shoots the doctor on the crashed bus he runs back to the car where myers was waiting for him and snapped his neck in the car
MᴇɢᴀZᴇɴᴛGᴍᴅ Mᴀᴅʀɪꜱᴛᴀ I a just remember him (the kid) shooting the guy (guy who replaces loomis) in the hand let he runs off to the truck and trying to drive it then the scene ends
Something I noticed that they didn't address about the scene with Allyson screaming at the mannequins. She screams at them because she is terrified of Michael's blank mannequin-like mask, and the final shot of the mannequins is Michael's face, but it is really quick.
I had to get up and use the bathroom during the movie, and when I got there, the first stall I opened was gross, and the second stall I opened was gross, and I was like, "Holy shit, am I reenacting a scene from the movie I'm currently watching?". Obviously, I did not get murdered, and I'm glad for the podcast to fill me in on what I missed (I got back just in time for that face smash).
You guys missed that Laurie got stabbed before being thrown out the window. Also she was more than likely bleeding to death in the back of the truck. The daughter and granddaughter were putting pressure on the wound in the last shot.
I think they were referencing when it shows Allyson holding the knife at the end and it freeze frames. My interpretation of that was showing that Allyson isn't like her grandma at that age bc Laurie dropped the knife after she stabbed michael and thought she killed him
I don’t profess myself to be the biggest horror film fan, but watching all of the dead meat episodes for each of the Halloween movies made me feel so in the know for all the little references and wink wink nudge moments in this one. So big thanks to you James because i was able to kind of chuckle to myself knowing more than i would’ve prior!
You know? I loved the doctor killing him thing. It shows how everyone around Michael goes completely insane. The madness seeping out into the people around him. He's a force of nature.
What in the movie points toward this? Just sounds like a fan theory. The only thing we're told is that Michael overtakes the guards, not that the Dr releases him.
the twist is my least favorite part too, but at least it fits with the theme of people going to lengths to understand Michael Myers. Makes a lil sense to include a character who has to push beyond the limited knowledge he can access legally or ethically.
I think he's crazy. Totally insane. Michael is making the other inmates worse, he drove the Strodes to something at least crazy, and the doctor has gone insane. He just fills the world around him with madness.
I LOVED this film. On a par with the original. Only 2 gripes: The cheating boyfriend didn’t get killed? Are you kidding me! Did the boy being babysat get away?
Roberto Ruiz then why are you watching a video that talks about the movie in depth for nearly 2 hours? “Oh man I hate spoilers...just gonna go on the comments section on a video review of a film I haven’t seen!” You should be in a slasher film with dumb decisions like that
1:32:12 And the way Laurie comes out of the darkness and stabs Michael in the shoulder is exactly what he did to her in the original. I liked her using his own tricks against him.
Dude this is my first time seeing the podcast man you and your gf has perfect chemistry!!! Y’all should do more podcast together!!! Love your show!!!! Thank you for the hard work !!
she looks so much like the girl who broke my heart in high school that watching her actually makes me a little sad which is really embarrassing because im 26
To be fair, the whole psychiatrist twist has some validation in the real world. Psychologists and mental health counselors are just as likely if not more than the regular population to have mental health issues themselves. It's an inherently hazardous job because of the mental strength required to deal with people who are depressed or psychotic. So his later reveal fit the movie. It might have seemed like he was some vaudeville villain, but if you watch it the way I did, his motivations were coming from a crazy place, because he was a crazy person treating another crazy person. Still agree it was the weakest part of the movie, but considering Noomis may be the whole reason for the movie (if his obsession indeed led him to freeing Michael from the bus), I don't mind. Oh, and Chelsea gets a kudos on the joke about how a 90s Myers would kill the doctor. Noomis - "Say Something!" Myers - "Something" SPLAT.
With Sartain he'd driven himself insane trying to understand Michael. Where Loomis realised there was no understanding him and dedicated his life to stopping Michael from killing more people Sartain was so obsessed with understanding him that he took advantage of Michael's escape to try to study his killing spree.
Honestly driving is not a difficult concept...if you can figure out how to start a car and get it in gear you've already done the hardest part. Never understood why people mulled over this for years. Most people learn to drive in like a day when they're 16...
Regarding the cold open, I didn't see it as supernatural moreso as able-minded humans being unable to see Michael for what he truly is. Because the people that begin to react are the patients and the dogs. The doctors, guards, and the podcasters all look at Michael and see this cold exterior, unmoving and unspeaking. But the other patients, the ones who have that veil of rational thought removed, see Michael for what he really is. That although he's not doing anything, internally, he is dying for the chance to reclaim that mask. He's screaming on the inside.
I saw it as an animal instinct thing, were the dogs and mental patients can sense the danger as Michael becomes more agitated, like how animals can sense when someone is angry or that a storm is about to come.
There's a reference to Halloween 3 when you see kids walking by when they're trick or treating, and one has a skeleton mask and the other has a pumpkin mask
The little kid, Gullian, was hilarious. My favorite line from him was "no, if you were a good babysitter I wouldn't be up clipping my nasty ass toenails" 😂
I thought this movie was awesome. The three most devastating parts of the movie for me were: -the podcasters dying cause I actually started caring about them and watching the girl give up and cry cause she can’t do anything was sad -the kid dying -the friend with the motion detection lights cause he was screaming his lungs out begging for his life and it was much sad
Mr.BangBang macleod And in slasher movies you’re not supposed to root for the villain. Characters in slashers should be well written so you can root for them and they don’t just feel like they are there to increase the body count.
love watching/listening to you two. it is awesome to have both of your perspectives on horror. Can't wait for the Monster Squad review, that was my jam every Hallowe'en growing up :)
I really liked this movie, was also my first time seeing a horror film in theaters. Never really was a horror guy, but after watching Kill Count it sparked an interest, and now I've seen a few horror films :)
As soon as the movie was done, both my boyfriend and I said that we couldn’t wait for the kill count on this film! We love the videos and the podcasts!!
I found the whole sheet ghost/pumpkin in the fish tank fully characteristic of Michael, he’s always been theatrical (this dude put his sister’s headstone above one of his victims in the original lmao)
Holy shit! I was listening to the Bechdel Cast episode of Halloween (1978) on my drive home. Then I sit down and see that you have a new video up and it's also Halloween (2018, though). And THEN it turns out that you are friends with Jamie from the Bechdel Cast. Mind = blown!
Halloween 2018 kill count (spoilers) ............ Halloween(2018) Bus crash:5 kills Gas station:4 kills Neighborhood:2 kills Baby sitter: 2 kills Backyard :1 kill Street: 1 kill Next to car: 1 kill Front yard :3 kills Inside house:Michael chel maybe (1 kill) Pie chart 16 + Michael maybe: 17 male 4 female Golden chainsaw Sartain: exploding head Dull machete Michael :off screen death, not even sure if dead, no body Kill count 20 or 21 depends if you think Michael dies About 1 kill every four Minutes
There is 20 kills because in the credits of the movie, they sing a song and at the end of the credits/song, you hear breathing, which is what kinda confirms that Michael lived.
I have a question about the Haddonfield High School 1978 shirt. If you graduated in the Spring of 1978, wouldn't you have left Haddonfield before Michael terrorized the town that year?
Hotcheetojuice Take notes on very small important things you know you won’t remember like... Kill Count, Names, Small hidden details and afterwards write down everything you remember :)
Song at end of credits written by John Carpenter and Jamie Lee Curtis was "country song" specifically written for this movie :) It's playing on the radio in the truck when the father/son discover the prison bus crash. It's the song that Laurie sings to herself in the original film as she's walking down the sidewalk after dropping the key off at the Myers' house: "I wish I had you all alone ... Just the two of us."
Kid: you ever chase after a girl you couldn’t get??? You know how that feels? Michael (a single tear falls) more than you know my boy.... I know this pain.
I'll simply never be able to separate Halloween 1 from Halloween 2. Honestly, it may very well just be my nostalgia glasses since I watched them back to back as my first horror movie (I still remember them as being one movie lol). I just feel as though Halloween 2 is just so incredibly essential to the Halloween legacy. The further development and wrap up of the story (Michael writing Samhain on the chalkboard, implying he may be in some way supernatural but never confirming it, Loomis and Laurie working together, and of course the genius brother-sister twist) is just something that I'll personally never be able to let go of. I find it very ironic how John Carpenter hates Halloween 2 so much considering how successful and impactful the story was. Laurie and Michael being brother and sister, for me at least, adds so much more to the story. If anything, it makes Michael even MORE mysterious. But that's just my take.
the brother-sister twist also adds to how michael (at least in halloween 2018) is constantly recreating murders, and who better to recreate his first murder with than another sister?
I should of posted this comment when this video went up but I had to properly think out of my thoughts. But I definitely think the Dr. Sartain plot twist makes sense, not only is it hinted at multiple times throughout the film, but he is basically just another side of Loomis. You have Loomis, who throughout the run of the series is constantly saying "Michael is evil. We need to kill him and stop him!" Then you have this new doctor who is fascinated by Michael, wants to understand why he kills people, why he doesn't talk. He is fascinated with why he doesn't talk so he wants to force this reunion in an attempt to get him to speak. I also fully get him putting on his mask, all of it makes sense and wasn't shocking to me. I perfectly understand why people are upset at this moment, how they think it's odd seeing someone who isn't Michael kill someone in a Halloween film. But to me personally, it makes sense and is practically just another side of Loomis, another side of his obsession with Michael. I also like that they allude to him being the reason the bus crashed, I mean. There is more cops this time around, it would have been kind of BS to have Michael just escape again on the same day he escaped 40 years prior even though their is more security this time. I loved the twist and think it makes perfect sense. The original idea was to have Laurie cause the bus crash, which I would have HATED. It would have been stupid as fuck to have Laurie cause all these passengers, police, and her granddaughter's friends to die , possibly including her daughter and granddaughter too. Just in hopes of getting close to Michael to kill him
@@johnmcnamara8741 I agree. It didn't add anything, but just felt like another side of loomis. It definitely wasn't a big shocking thing to me either that most people treat it as, I have no problem with this subplot. It does suck that Hawkins died though? Especially for something that didn't NEED to be in the movie
William Burry honestly I didn’t really like the twist because it was so painfully predictable and right after they prove you right that they’re going with that predictable trope, they kill off Hawkins in a really BS way. The only redemption for this shortcoming is the doctor’s brutal death
I just saw this today and, I gotta say, our audience was mostly older men and women (mind you, this was 11am on a Saturday). It was neat coming out of the theater and seeing some of them huddled up together, talking about how it connected with the first one and how happy they were that Jamie Lee was in it. It's cool to think about how a movie like this can not only bring new fans into the series, but how the older fans come back into it and see it as a continuation of a movie they watched when they were younger, almost as if they were Laurie returning to Haddonfield. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on it!!!!
Imagine if the spikes that block off the basement had impaled him and trapped him in the house while it burned down. Have a shot of him reaching for Laurie in a final attempt to get her as the flames engulf him. No more sequels. No Halloween Kills/Ends. That’s how Michael dies.
Spoiler! The only thing that deeply confused me was Michael killing the kid. And yeah, I know the kid died in 3, and young Michael killed the bully in RZ's remake, but it just seemed out of character for him in this one. It came out of nowhere for me. I immediately turned to my fiance and said, "Michael never killed a kid. He just killed a kid!" Though I agree that it takes some balls for a movie to knock off a kid lol. I figured it was due to his time put away that just toughened him up even more.
I figured that Michael didn't care as much because of his age. I honestly feel like that's where his brutality came from. Well that and being locked up for so long meant he felt like making up for lost time. As for the baby I think that's the movie referencing RZ's movies. Michael visited his baby sister as a kid in that movie after killing everyone else in the house. But that's just my opinion.
I think it has more to do with the fact that the kid was armed with the rifle, Michael doesn’t kill kids besides family but because the boy had a gun he made an exception because to him the boy was a “predator” like him.
Has anyone mentioned that by the end of the movie, Alison's Clyde costume basically turned into Laurie's clothes from the final act of the original halloween?
Great podcast and review! One note, the both of you hadn't mentioned the last fight between Laurie and Michael where they pretty much go blow for blow and beat the hell out of each other right after she pops out of the shadow and says Happy Halloween, I personally thought that was a great sequence right before the ending.
This movie was fantastic. One of my favorite parts is the parallel to the original when Michael disappears on the ground, but in this one Laurie disappears when Michael looks off the balcony. It gives me chills! 😄
your discussion at 16 mins - when Lori talks about you have to accept evil is just evil - it was really us seeing Lori taking up the Loomis mantle for the first time. I loved it.
I will say I do like Robs version of Michael. Like the one really good thing about his remake. But I feel this new one is scarier. To me anyways. No I wasn't scared watching this but the whole time I was like "goddamn" he is brutal as hell.
when ever I have some free time at school I have nothing better to do so I listen to a podcast. I don't understand how these videos don't get as much views, the podcasts are so nice to watch and listen too.
Julian in the movie had me dead, probably one of the funniest kid appearances in a horror movie as they usually play the kids as screaming and crying burdens

My other thought is that the basement was the arsenal room of course, so there would probably be a fireproof safe...the only thing is, Michael is a big fucking dude, I doubt he'd fit in a rifle safe
I really didn't like that. I kinda thought it was time for him to die. And it would be ideal if Laurie Strode was the one to off him for good.

was he the dad that died by chains
@@brady_hawkins23 exactly 😂
@@DeadMeat The Sartain twist was decent and Michael driving makes sense, calm down. Also, really? Michael dressing up someone as a ghost makes no sense? The guy who took a tombstone and brought it to a victim he murdered? You sound pretentious when you talk about scenes like that, so please stop doing that. "Fuck you, it's a dumb explaination" like shut up already. Don't mention garbage arguments 10 times.
Theres a lot of debate on Michael snapping a childs neck. I'm sticking with the theory that the writers wanted to establish that no one is safe from Michael, and the fact the the kid had a gun and was semi threat/obstacle for Michael to take his dads car. I know he could have pushed the kid out of the vehicle or just knocked him out but c'mon Michael's a killer dammit haha!!!!!
Andrew Bouk Agreed.
When did he snap the child's neck and what child was it. I saw the new 2018 halloween and didn't recall that happening
JustYourLocal NintendoNerd after the kid shoots the doctor on the crashed bus he runs back to the car where myers was waiting for him and snapped his neck in the car
@@lamasu8060 You clearly slept in the cinema
MᴇɢᴀZᴇɴᴛGᴍᴅ Mᴀᴅʀɪꜱᴛᴀ I a just remember him (the kid) shooting the guy (guy who replaces loomis) in the hand let he runs off to the truck and trying to drive it then the scene ends
Something I noticed that they didn't address about the scene with Allyson screaming at the mannequins. She screams at them because she is terrified of Michael's blank mannequin-like mask, and the final shot of the mannequins is Michael's face, but it is really quick.
I never grasped that! I just assumed it was a PTSD reaction from all of the evening!
My favorite part in the movie was when laurie's daughter tricks michael
Mine too
* having a mental breakdown *
Michael Myers appears
“Gotcha”
Same after that I started clapping 👏🏿
I’m ROLLING at the tubby custard part😂 “I forget if it came out of the vacuum cleaner” 😂😂😂
Did you notice the kids wearing the Silver Shamrock masks in the streets?
I think it's an amazing reference!
Ikr. Genius!
I also noticed
Perfect nostalgia and new in this one!
I had to get up and use the bathroom during the movie, and when I got there, the first stall I opened was gross, and the second stall I opened was gross, and I was like, "Holy shit, am I reenacting a scene from the movie I'm currently watching?". Obviously, I did not get murdered, and I'm glad for the podcast to fill me in on what I missed (I got back just in time for that face smash).
I hate having to take bathroom breaks when its a good scene
@@alexl9334 just pee beforehand.
You guys missed that Laurie got stabbed before being thrown out the window. Also she was more than likely bleeding to death in the back of the truck. The daughter and granddaughter were putting pressure on the wound in the last shot.
I think they were referencing when it shows Allyson holding the knife at the end and it freeze frames. My interpretation of that was showing that Allyson isn't like her grandma at that age bc Laurie dropped the knife after she stabbed michael and thought she killed him
0:59 I actually thought she was gonna say "I actually have a life" lol
XCIXX07 she was just about to say it
I don’t profess myself to be the biggest horror film fan, but watching all of the dead meat episodes for each of the Halloween movies made me feel so in the know for all the little references and wink wink nudge moments in this one. So big thanks to you James because i was able to kind of chuckle to myself knowing more than i would’ve prior!
still didn't notice Michael in the title pumpkin. But the nose to mouth cut caught my attention, I just didnt know why lol
Same
Sadtape I seen a sail boat lmao
I only saw the knife
Ohhhh, thanks, now I see it
Same!!!
The turned laurie into like a Sarah connor like character and it is awesome. Did you notice that allison's teacher was voiced by PJ soles
Pp
I loved the moment Allyson encounters Michael and the music drops, omg i loved it
Mrs. Holmes Killer song man... soooo goooddddd
I like how Chelsea committed to the Tubby Custard Teletubby voice but not the word canyon in that knock off song. 😂
The head stomp is my golden chainsaw :)
Oh yeah
Dead Meat it made me clap in the theater yo 😂
daiukuun people that clap in the theatre should get the death penalty
Lewd Lunatic don't worry nobody cared
@@DeadMeat yeah, the most pointless and impossible kill
You know? I loved the doctor killing him thing. It shows how everyone around Michael goes completely insane. The madness seeping out into the people around him. He's a force of nature.
"His kills never get into Jason territory" oh James just wait until you see Halloween kills
I wanted them to unmask Michael after being run down and say, "oh no, it's Ben Tramer, JUNIOR!!"
😂😂
"New Loomis" caused the bus crash almost every review seems to miss this fact.
He got shot and
Spoiler:
His head went splat
We weren’t given a direct explanation but it was that or Michael
What in the movie points toward this? Just sounds like a fan theory. The only thing we're told is that Michael overtakes the guards, not that the Dr releases him.
@@phaethonprime6427 the Doctor's whole goal was to see Michael loose in the wild, he most likely caused the crash or at least helped it happen
I think it was pretty obvious
the twist is my least favorite part too, but at least it fits with the theme of people going to lengths to understand Michael Myers. Makes a lil sense to include a character who has to push beyond the limited knowledge he can access legally or ethically.
I think he's crazy. Totally insane. Michael is making the other inmates worse, he drove the Strodes to something at least crazy, and the doctor has gone insane. He just fills the world around him with madness.
What was it the recording of Loomis says? “There is nothing good that can come from studying evil.”
Sadtape it was a risk that would have been worth it...if it worked
What's this twist that everyone keeps talking about? Lol. Did I miss something in the movie?
@@dhamm25 The new doctor wasn't interested in killing Michael, he wanted to see him in his natural habitat
I LOVED this film. On a par with the original.
Only 2 gripes:
The cheating boyfriend didn’t get killed? Are you kidding me!
Did the boy being babysat get away?
Dy 2358 good. That kid had top notch bantz
Tables, Athers And Chairs I think the boyfriend should have gotten killed, but really? That funny ass kid
Roberto Ruiz for me that’s isnt a spoiler friend.
Need to wait for the directors cut. They probably cut some kills.
Roberto Ruiz then why are you watching a video that talks about the movie in depth for nearly 2 hours?
“Oh man I hate spoilers...just gonna go on the comments section on a video review of a film I haven’t seen!”
You should be in a slasher film with dumb decisions like that
SPOILER ALERT
Who else had anxiety when Michael stared at the baby in the house he broke into???
Me too man, I legit wasn't sure.
Fun fact thr baby crying in the movie is actually Jamie Lee Curtis
@@nicholashaxe7645
Like audio when she was a baby, or you pulling my leg.
@@emptyglassbottles2555 I'm not pulling any legs
I did because if he killed the baby I would have left the movies but I know Michael always has a soft spot for babies
1:32:12 And the way Laurie comes out of the darkness and stabs Michael in the shoulder is exactly what he did to her in the original. I liked her using his own tricks against him.
SO much great detail and nostalgia! Also 1:30:30 ish Laurie has shot through the basement floorboards so he knew they were down there.

That´s a relly good idea!
she looks so much like the girl who broke my heart in high school that watching her actually makes me a little sad which is really embarrassing because im 26
It should be the movie april fools day
To be fair, the whole psychiatrist twist has some validation in the real world. Psychologists and mental health counselors are just as likely if not more than the regular population to have mental health issues themselves. It's an inherently hazardous job because of the mental strength required to deal with people who are depressed or psychotic.
So his later reveal fit the movie. It might have seemed like he was some vaudeville villain, but if you watch it the way I did, his motivations were coming from a crazy place, because he was a crazy person treating another crazy person.
Still agree it was the weakest part of the movie, but considering Noomis may be the whole reason for the movie (if his obsession indeed led him to freeing Michael from the bus), I don't mind.
Oh, and Chelsea gets a kudos on the joke about how a 90s Myers would kill the doctor. Noomis - "Say Something!" Myers - "Something" SPLAT.
With Sartain he'd driven himself insane trying to understand Michael. Where Loomis realised there was no understanding him and dedicated his life to stopping Michael from killing more people Sartain was so obsessed with understanding him that he took advantage of Michael's escape to try to study his killing spree.
53:28. The single shot begins just after Michael picks up the hammer. He picks it up, there's a cut, and the shot begins. This movie was fantastic.
John Carpenter said Michael could drive because he was evil, not normal, so it was the evil driving, not the man. It was still pretty dumb though.
Nah don't agree
Driving ain't rocket science
Exactly it’s not that complicated if he can murder with ease, driving is a cake walk
Honestly driving is not a difficult concept...if you can figure out how to start a car and get it in gear you've already done the hardest part. Never understood why people mulled over this for years. Most people learn to drive in like a day when they're 16...
Esskeetit
Regarding the cold open, I didn't see it as supernatural moreso as able-minded humans being unable to see Michael for what he truly is. Because the people that begin to react are the patients and the dogs. The doctors, guards, and the podcasters all look at Michael and see this cold exterior, unmoving and unspeaking. But the other patients, the ones who have that veil of rational thought removed, see Michael for what he really is. That although he's not doing anything, internally, he is dying for the chance to reclaim that mask. He's screaming on the inside.
I felt the same way. The loonies and dogs knowing Michael is just so close to getting the mask back, and having the evil fully take over once again.
I saw it as an animal instinct thing, were the dogs and mental patients can sense the danger as Michael becomes more agitated, like how animals can sense when someone is angry or that a storm is about to come.
Given Michael's history with dogs the ones in the institution got off easy.
There's a reference to Halloween 3 when you see kids walking by when they're trick or treating, and one has a skeleton mask and the other has a pumpkin mask
Nigga they were the skull trooper and hollow head
I thought H3 reference was showing what was on tv as well
The little kid, Gullian, was hilarious. My favorite line from him was "no, if you were a good babysitter I wouldn't be up clipping my nasty ass toenails" 😂
If the vehicle Michael commandeered had said "Caution: Student Driver", that would have been total perfection.
I thought this movie was awesome. The three most devastating parts of the movie for me were:
-the podcasters dying cause I actually started caring about them and watching the girl give up and cry cause she can’t do anything was sad
-the kid dying
-the friend with the motion detection lights cause he was screaming his lungs out begging for his life and it was much sad
EJP1200 I can’t even tell who’s the new Ben Tramer of this series; Vicky or Oscar? They deserved better, dammit!
Yeh the kid was a good actor, that scene shook me!
If u get sad about a person in a slasher movie get over it it’s a fucking slasher movie!
Mr.BangBang macleod And in slasher movies you’re not supposed to root for the villain. Characters in slashers should be well written so you can root for them and they don’t just feel like they are there to increase the body count.
Mr.BangBang macleod Shut up dude
love watching/listening to you two. it is awesome to have both of your perspectives on horror. Can't wait for the Monster Squad review, that was my jam every Hallowe'en growing up :)

Never really was a horror guy, but after watching Kill Count it sparked an interest, and now I've seen a few horror films :)
I hope you get into it! If you have a smartphone or tablet I suggest downloading tubitv. They have a ton of horror movies you can watch for free.
Hope you watch Haunting of Hill House series! A masterpiece that I just rewatched so had to share!
“We like getting scared together” kinky
Leave it to the edge lords to derive sexual connotations from a simple comment.
When they ran over Micheal I thought it was gonna be Cameron as a refrence to Ben tramer
50:14 James' pun goes unheeded.
I hear you, brother. I giggled a lil bit.
As soon as the movie was done, both my boyfriend and I said that we couldn’t wait for the kill count on this film! We love the videos and the podcasts!!
I found the whole sheet ghost/pumpkin in the fish tank fully characteristic of Michael, he’s always been theatrical (this dude put his sister’s headstone above one of his victims in the original lmao)
Holy shit! I was listening to the Bechdel Cast episode of Halloween (1978) on my drive home. Then I sit down and see that you have a new video up and it's also Halloween (2018, though). And THEN it turns out that you are friends with Jamie from the Bechdel Cast. Mind = blown!
Duuuuude yea… I just realized that too
It’s like a nice coincidence small world

Kill count
20 or 21 depends if you think Michael dies
About 1 kill every four Minutes
Stop taking james' job😭😭😭
I felt there were more than 17 like an article I read said
5 kills for the bus crash? I don't remember well but i think there was less than that.
There is 20 kills because in the credits of the movie, they sing a song and at the end of the credits/song, you hear breathing, which is what kinda confirms that Michael lived.
Texture Or maybe it’s Michael’s final breaths before he dies but it’s probably that he survived the fire
In Allison’s class they were talking about fate like in the original
and when she turn and look out of the window.original is Michael and this one is Laurie
Except Allyson isn’t related to Micheal though, so no.
Did you guys know the teacher was voiced by pj soles from the orginial film
I have a question about the Haddonfield High School 1978 shirt. If you graduated in the Spring of 1978, wouldn't you have left Haddonfield before Michael terrorized the town that year?
Lol that's actually a great point
@@DeadMeat I would move out of Haddonfield as soon as fucking possible!

It's fun. I have problems with it, probably the same problem as everyone else, but would watch it again
The little black kid was hilarious😂😭💀
Song at end of credits written by John Carpenter and Jamie Lee Curtis was "country song" specifically written for this movie :) It's playing on the radio in the truck when the father/son discover the prison bus crash. It's the song that Laurie sings to herself in the original film as she's walking down the sidewalk after dropping the key off at the Myers' house: "I wish I had you all alone ... Just the two of us."
Possibly the most attractive couple on the internet.
I love James' girlfriend. She's adorable!
I KNOW. And they're so sweet with each other, as well.
PERFECT for each other! Very happy for both of you 🤗😁

Love is dangerous in Halloween.
Kid: you ever chase after a girl you couldn’t get??? You know how that feels?
Michael (a single tear falls) more than you know my boy.... I know this pain.
I'll simply never be able to separate Halloween 1 from Halloween 2. Honestly, it may very well just be my nostalgia glasses since I watched them back to back as my first horror movie (I still remember them as being one movie lol). I just feel as though Halloween 2 is just so incredibly essential to the Halloween legacy. The further development and wrap up of the story (Michael writing Samhain on the chalkboard, implying he may be in some way supernatural but never confirming it, Loomis and Laurie working together, and of course the genius brother-sister twist) is just something that I'll personally never be able to let go of. I find it very ironic how John Carpenter hates Halloween 2 so much considering how successful and impactful the story was. Laurie and Michael being brother and sister, for me at least, adds so much more to the story. If anything, it makes Michael even MORE mysterious. But that's just my take.
the brother-sister twist also adds to how michael (at least in halloween 2018) is constantly recreating murders, and who better to recreate his first murder with than another sister?
I love how you guys maintain eye contact virtually the entire podcast. That’s love, man. I’m happy for y’all.
“Nobody’s stupid in this movie”
Well lemme tell ya, that changes real quick

DO A KILL COUNT WITH CHELSEA
1:45 “Extemporaneous” is the word I believe you’re searching for. Thank y’all for your hard work and horror geekery.
I should of posted this comment when this video went up but I had to properly think out of my thoughts. But I definitely think the Dr. Sartain plot twist makes sense, not only is it hinted at multiple times throughout the film, but he is basically just another side of Loomis.
You have Loomis, who throughout the run of the series is constantly saying "Michael is evil. We need to kill him and stop him!" Then you have this new doctor who is fascinated by Michael, wants to understand why he kills people, why he doesn't talk. He is fascinated with why he doesn't talk so he wants to force this reunion in an attempt to get him to speak. I also fully get him putting on his mask, all of it makes sense and wasn't shocking to me.
I perfectly understand why people are upset at this moment, how they think it's odd seeing someone who isn't Michael kill someone in a Halloween film. But to me personally, it makes sense and is practically just another side of Loomis, another side of his obsession with Michael.
I also like that they allude to him being the reason the bus crashed, I mean. There is more cops this time around, it would have been kind of BS to have Michael just escape again on the same day he escaped 40 years prior even though their is more security this time. I loved the twist and think it makes perfect sense.
The original idea was to have Laurie cause the bus crash, which I would have HATED. It would have been stupid as fuck to have Laurie cause all these passengers, police, and her granddaughter's friends to die , possibly including her daughter and granddaughter too. Just in hopes of getting close to Michael to kill him
I called the twist, just to me it didn't add anything. AlsoI feel Hawkins should have had more backstory before dying
@@johnmcnamara8741 I agree. It didn't add anything, but just felt like another side of loomis. It definitely wasn't a big shocking thing to me either that most people treat it as, I have no problem with this subplot. It does suck that Hawkins died though? Especially for something that didn't NEED to be in the movie
I dint think laurie would have caused the crash and left with Michael still alive
@@johnmcnamara8741 totally...didn't add anything,was a waste,was a cheap anti-Loomis
William Burry honestly I didn’t really like the twist because it was so painfully predictable and right after they prove you right that they’re going with that predictable trope, they kill off Hawkins in a really BS way. The only redemption for this shortcoming is the doctor’s brutal death
When Michael was in the hospital he looked old and depressed
lavender town rocket commander I mean.... he’s 40 years older than he was in the first one... so yeah?
That’s because he is old and depressed
He was suffering from murder withdrawals
tbh who isn't old and depressed nowadays ?
@@kzang386
Hah Hah ... oooooohhhh man it hurts a little.
I just saw this today and, I gotta say, our audience was mostly older men and women (mind you, this was 11am on a Saturday). It was neat coming out of the theater and seeing some of them huddled up together, talking about how it connected with the first one and how happy they were that Jamie Lee was in it. It's cool to think about how a movie like this can not only bring new fans into the series, but how the older fans come back into it and see it as a continuation of a movie they watched when they were younger, almost as if they were Laurie returning to Haddonfield.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on it!!!!
1:02:24 *OH MY GOD* that was the most adorable thing ever
The score for when Michael sees Allison for the first time is the best piece of music in the series since the original
Imagine if the spikes that block off the basement had impaled him and trapped him in the house while it burned down. Have a shot of him reaching for Laurie in a final attempt to get her as the flames engulf him. No more sequels. No Halloween Kills/Ends. That’s how Michael dies.
Spoiler! The only thing that deeply confused me was Michael killing the kid. And yeah, I know the kid died in 3, and young Michael killed the bully in RZ's remake, but it just seemed out of character for him in this one. It came out of nowhere for me. I immediately turned to my fiance and said, "Michael never killed a kid. He just killed a kid!" Though I agree that it takes some balls for a movie to knock off a kid lol. I figured it was due to his time put away that just toughened him up even more.
Rysie Sullivan they didn’t have the balls to kill the baby
I figured that Michael didn't care as much because of his age. I honestly feel like that's where his brutality came from. Well that and being locked up for so long meant he felt like making up for lost time. As for the baby I think that's the movie referencing RZ's movies. Michael visited his baby sister as a kid in that movie after killing everyone else in the house. But that's just my opinion.
I think it has more to do with the fact that the kid was armed with the rifle, Michael doesn’t kill kids besides family but because the boy had a gun he made an exception because to him the boy was a “predator” like him.
Rysie Sullivan the only thing he doesn’t kill is baby’s
I feel like it would have made more sense if you pushed him out of the car that seems more like Michael to me
Has anyone mentioned that by the end of the movie, Alison's Clyde costume basically turned into Laurie's clothes from the final act of the original halloween?
Yeah!! Like the blue button-up, and the trousers but with added suspenders, blazer and hat
Hope Chelsea knows how much a lot of us appreciate how much hard work she puts into the researched podcasts. ❤️ u guys
I'm imagining the funny scene of Michael driving and just swerving and taking out mailboxes
I like how James says Alisson,Laurie and Ray. But he names Karen Judy Greer by her actual actor name lol
"I got this feeling that I fell into a...canyon" 😂 Great review, guys! Thanks for the bonus episode!!
Great podcast and review! One note, the both of you hadn't mentioned the last fight between Laurie and Michael where they pretty much go blow for blow and beat the hell out of each other right after she pops out of the shadow and says Happy Halloween, I personally thought that was a great sequence right before the ending.
This movie was fantastic. One of my favorite parts is the parallel to the original when Michael disappears on the ground, but in this one Laurie disappears when Michael looks off the balcony. It gives me chills! 😄
your discussion at 16 mins - when Lori talks about you have to accept evil is just evil - it was really us seeing Lori taking up the Loomis mantle for the first time. I loved it.
The reason ray wasn’t in the front when they left is because micheal brought ray and put him in the closet which only Laurie sees
I will say I do like Robs version of Michael. Like the one really good thing about his remake. But I feel this new one is scarier. To me anyways. No I wasn't scared watching this but the whole time I was like "goddamn" he is brutal as hell.
'18 Michael shows Rob's Michael that you don't only need size to be intimidating, even though Tyler Mane was that exactly in the films.
@@fatandfurious3305 true,but the size makes sense in the overpowering of people,the '18 MM doesn't look strong,like they're implying he's supernatural
Michel not killing the baby is a reference to Rob Zombies Halloween, when kid Michel dosent kill his baby sister.
No lmao.
Also in the classroom scene, PJ Soles who played Linda in the original, returns for a cameo as a teacher, loved this
I never noticed that
when ever I have some free time at school I have nothing better to do so I listen to a podcast. I don't understand how these videos don't get as much views, the podcasts are so nice to watch and listen too.
Julian in the movie had me dead, probably one of the funniest kid appearances in a horror movie as they usually play the kids as screaming and crying burdens
