      @Maverick5uk 6 месяцев назад +10

      Actually Jason is from Friday the 13th. In Halloween the antagonists name is Michael Myers, but in the end credits of the film he's referenced as "The Shape" simply because that's what John Carpenter referred to him as.

      If you're looking for all three that are already done and available, check out The 80s Slasher Librarian here on RUclips. He reads all the books for horror icons and others, and that includes Halloween. He has the novelizations and these YA books. There's even a bonus entry for This title.

    I would think that in real life, if there were a seemingly unstoppable superhuman/supernatural serial killer who targeted the same small town every Halloween, they would have the local police, state police, and maybe the national guard waiting for him to take him down. If that did not work, I would think that the governor of the state and/or the state legislature would see to it that the town was evacuated every October.

    Meh! At least Michael does more kills in this book than he did in Halloween Ends. Not too bad. Although I do agree that the book focuses way too much on the romance and drama side of things. Other than that, it sounds like a pretty good sequel if it was made. But that's not saying much lol Great video, Doc! Keep it up!

  • @simonmittelstadt6680
    @simonmittelstadt6680 6 месяцев назад

    I've somehow developed a fascination for these things thanks to these two videos from you. I know it's going to be weird, but horror is actually pretty popular among teenagers. I mean, this is probably the first forbidden thing you'll probably watch when you're young (except the other dirty films).
    and let's face it Halloween is a showpiece next to Friday the 13th, the film of shit that really had a lot of teenagers as an audience. But yes, I generally find it somehow interesting to see how these interpretations can be by individual artists. As I said, with film you need many more cooks, so it's interesting to see how a medium like a book or comic is interpreted.
    In general, I also find it interesting to see more things like that here, i.e. the adoption of the well-known horror, what works, what doesn't work. and how did this already have a video with the Texas chainsaw game.
