Potential94 That was what Carpenter and Hill had in mind. They planned to make an anthology series with new villains and characters in movies under the “Halloween” name. So they made “Halloween III: Season of the Witch”. But people hated that movie when they first saw it because it didn’t have Micheal Myers in it. And that spawned more sequels which I enjoy. Aswell as Season of the Witch.

I’ve never watched any other sequels. AFAIK this story is over.

Ikr! 30% on Rotten Tomatoes? Really?

@@horrorlandhorror16 they also originally didn't want to make any sequels to the original but the studio demanded it

U basterd I were gunnu say that!!!

It’s perfectly seemless.

They are 2 peas in a pod

@@MegaHeaf Clamomb

Eh I’m not really a fan of Halloween 2. Honestly the cliffhanger from the original is the perfect way to end a horror movie marathon on Halloween

@@justinjanicki6561 I do love the ending of the first and I am even planning on doing a short video essay about it and the H20 ending

+Casper Jean Rimbaud Agreed! Donald Pleasence should have gotten an Oscar for his performance as Dr. Loomis. "We are all afraid of the darkness inside ourselves."

Yup dr loomis and Michael Meyers are the best

right on the money

The actor played villians for years before his Halloween part.....most famous in James Bond. He said in an interview the only parts he got was for villains. Then he did the part of Dr Loomis and said all the parts he got after was only all good guys.

He was Sadly killed in a 2005 Terrorist attack by Alciden and Jordan same with his daughter so his son Malek Akkad took over

awesome

Alan High I wish I would've been there to see it.

that's an awesome mental image! was this in '81? curious what city

I'd give anything to have been around to watch the 1st 2 Halloween films in theaters Back then i was still swimming around in my fathers ballsack

This might be a weird question: why did they cheer at that part?

WOLFPACK LEADER best analogy for this intro I’ve ever heard, I never saw it that way, but now I’ll never forget it.

When was young Michael Myers nice and innocent?

@@adamsbriee6330 because he had the age and appearance of a child that no one would have ever expected to become a killer

Agreed it’s as if the pumpkin unraveling is symbolic of michaels sanity slowly unraveling but once it was gone there was no coming back.

Also a good representation of how the movie was supposed to be good like the original but the skull opening is symbolic for how dead sleep I was after watching this shitty movie.

Halloween 2018 opens and closes like this and Halloween original. Not a spoiler but just a heads up.

How about that Mandy intro?

Some openings are good now in days it depends

Clayton Von Isaacs, I'm officially jealous!! Halloween 2 is my all-time favorite horror movie! I would've loved to have seen this in the theater back in '81. I was only 8 at the time so, unfortunately, that didn't happen. ☹️

The Thing? Also by John Carpenter.

Halloween + Halloween 2 > Everything else, but number 1 slasher is Jason Voorhees.

@@user-vd8nu2jj5h Jason is cool but he wouldn't exist without Michael Myers so Michael is still number one.

They were only in 1978 at the same time.

@TheScorpio Vampyre That 2018 film was trash. It was the last movie I saw in a theater and ever will see until Hollywood gets its act together & drops the anti-male/feminist & other agendas that has ruined so many franchises of my youth with shitty sequels. Until then, Hollywood can screw off (no wonder ticket sales have been so abysmal in general compared to the past in the last 4+ years). A shit movie with shit characters that only sold tickets from its link to the original film. The only thing I liked about that movie was the mask, which was the 2nd best mask after the original mask in the first 2 films. A damn waste having a really good mask after all those years on a bad film. There was no reason for Laurie to be armed & ready for Michael considering she didn't go through what she did in H2 and would've never found out about being his sister. Even more because Michael was supposedly captured, so she would have no reason to be on edge as she was about him being that dangerous since everything that she witnessed that resulted in her knowing how invincible he was happened as a result of events that didn't happen in that timeline. It doesn't even make sense because they reveal that Myers was captured when he disappeared & was not even around to be captured. It ignores the ending of the first film where Loomis shoots him and Myers is gone by the time he makes it to the window to see what he expected to be Myers' corpse. So it's not even a true sequel to the 1st film when it cherrypicks and leaves stuff out that is inconvenient to its plot. Myers having been captured in a retconned version of the events in H1 also makes him considerably less of a threat when we saw how entire police forces couldn't handle him in H4 & H5 and he was only captured in H5 after Loomis' crazy plan and we saw how long that lasted after Wynn killed everyone to bust him out. Wynn taught him how to drive and was responsible for his escape in H1 (they don't let patients walk around freely like zombies in mental institutions like Loomis & Marion saw when they arrived at the gate of Smith's Grove) and there was no way he would've let his plan of unleashing Myers get stopped & allow Michael to be captured for 40 years without doing anything about it. It was obvious from the free roaming patients outside by the gate, from Loomis' comment about someone teaching Myers how to drive, and the way the camera focused on Wynn after Loomis' comment that Wynn was neck deep involved with Myers' escape all the way back in H1, years before they confirmed it in H5 & H6.

I bet your upset now that it isn't Canon anymore? Halloween 2018 is a great movie as well

@@MarktheNerd85 Its actually still Canon. Halloween has 3 different timelines. Saying this movie not canon is like saying the ending of part 1 is no longer canon cause the new movie changed that ending.

@@HorrorSquad I know they wanted to erase all the sequels after the first one, but they never explained from the new one how he they said they apprehended michael after that night, like exactly what happened after Loomis shot him and fell down off the house and eventually walked away? Did they then apprehended him?

@@jeezyy_ They actually did. Don't remember which scene but I think it was from the Doctor dude. He says that the Sheriff deputy that in the new movie was the first one to respond at the end of the original Halloween movie and he was the one who arrested Michael Myers.

@@HorrorSquad maybe must've missed that part. Would've like to known details of how deputy's reaction as he arrested him realizing this man is still alive as he got shot 6 times lol

+byron herrera Err, no that was Halloween III by a million x

Random question but am I the only one that feels parents ruin halloween? I'm saying this because for two freaking years in a row, my Halloween was ruined by overprotective parents. I dressed up as Jason Voorhees two years ago and got a lot of praise for that costume but had a couple of parents scold for by saying I'm trying to scare their children when I was doing nothing wrong. All I was doing was dressing up as Jason. Next year, I dress up as a pig masked serial killer and same problem. Stupid parents. Don't wanna be scared on freaking Halloween, don't come out of your freaking house! Halloween is suppose to be scary. So this year im going as Indiana Jones because I'm sick and tired of having my Halloween ruined. Anyone else feel the same? Is the media to blame?

byron herrera people say it is one of the best horror movie sequals ever and give it 4-5 stars and that, folks, is the most underrated horror movie of all time.

RogerWare Inc. i dont know why you posted that here out of all places but I definently feel you.

Mr. Badass I AGREE

I was the same age, could barely watch this movie alone when I was young.

What an awesome comment describing the experience!! I really appreciate it!! As i read your words I sat there visualizing being in one of those seats near you that day, imagining the feeling you describe and the experience. I was born in 85, Michael has always been and always Will be my favorite slasher, even one of my all-around favorite movie characters. MAN if i only i could have been been born 10-15 years earlier to have experienced all of the amazing horror films of the 80's as they came out!! I'm jealous!! I remember the first time i watched this movie, probably at 14 years old,late 90's, The scene where Mike's mask slowly appears while he' behind the nurse when she realizes the doctor had been stabbed with a needle in the eye, It was a stomach-flipping, paralyzing scare-the-shit-of-you-to-down-the-very-Core type of feeling. I felt sick and somehow wired for the next f'ing Hour! And i LOVED IT! Just a truly amazing piece of horror-Artwork. That, the music, story, the basement elevator chase sequence, H2 is Still my favorite of the whole franchise.

👏👏👏👏👏well described

@@pamelqtaylor8335 thanks

@@TheDlk85 I was the fortunate victim of circumstance being born in 1967. My dad took me to see everything. He took me to see Jaws when I was 7, Halloween in 1978 when I was 9. Alien in the summer of 1979, The Shining in 1980. By 1981 I was 14 and was finding ways of getting into R rates movies on my own. Avco Embassy pictures was in full swing and putting out Escape From New York, The Fog, The Howling, Scanners. It was a lot of fun.

Chris Reidy highest gross horror of 1981. Not underrated at all

+Ri5004 was it really?

What do you mean by underrated people says it's the best sequel of all time

Chris Reidy how is it underrated people love it

Yup

Lucky, would love to have seen this in theaters.

tvmoviefan me too. This movie is my favorite out of all the Halloween movies.

SoEightiesItHurts omg you must be so old!!

SoEightiesItHurts Must have been amazing. Wish i could have experienced that 👍

I saw this on pirate VHS back before it was released... lol everyone came round to watch it... it was THE Horror movie to watch. Amazing memories and to me it ends the story perfect.

what did he mean by that ??

lol

nightwing2016 batsvssupes because he shot Michael more than once and that to him was shocking

You make a really good point.. But i just wouldnt be able to get enough, and for the exception of #5 and Rob Zombie's #2 (which still wasnt bad), ive loved every single one that followed.

yes i do, im not stUpid ya know

Skalopulton301 I shot him six times, I shot him in the heart, he's not human!

Skalopulton301 shit know that I réalisé that line more in my head and the ghostly theme...makes it all the more intensifying

You don't know what that is.

"Well sure I do, you see I'm a failed comic" ::que up theme::

I think this version of The Halloween theme is the best too.

There's NOTHING wrong with you....

there is nothing wrong you this improvement on the main theme is even better now then ever before

Aidan Mercer Original is still better

Brilliant way to put it.

or the skull means halloween 2 is gonna be more violent than the first movie

The skull is the evil that lies beneath the surface of Halloween, of Haddonfield, a reminder to the audience that evil exists within man. The choice to zoom in on the left eye of the skull is a reminder of the first one, but also could be taken as the nature of Michael Myers, once the screen is completely black as the camera zooms completely into the eye, the movie transitions into Michael's POV.

Trans8010 The whole purpose of the opening sequence was to build fear and suspense. As Debra Hill said she didn't want to leave this movie open for private interpretation! Which exactly what you're doing. By trying to explain the opening sequence of this film. Just a very bad interpretation!

Rudy Valentin and it's also my favorite Halloween movie.

pwkpilot same

@ but hodder isn't the original Jason....

@ and don't forget that the scene where we see Michael the most in H1, the Closet scene, and the scene where he first goes to stab Laurie was Tommy Lee Wallace.

And tyler maine Sorry if i spell the name wrong

For a short guy who is suposed to be an invincible Evil entity He did pretty darn good.

it was really creepy to me too. The skeleton of Michael Myers.

BURNZY187 I know right rob zombie had nothing to do with the Halloween series

BURNZY187 Horror is an interesting genre, there's soooooo many factors that go into what "best" means. Was it scary? How was the atmosphere? How was the music? Did you care about the characters? etc. For example I consider the Babadook one of my two favorite horror movies, because I thought it was quite scary and I cared about the characters. Halloween 2 didn't scare me in the slightest and there were at most 2 people in the movie that I care about, but its music and atmosphere are beyond phenomenal so I still consider it my other favorite horror movie.

Actually, the Thing score was written and composed by Ennio Moricone I believe. Or he might have just been the composer. Not sure.

UltimateThanos Ah, corn nuts! That's right. I even have the dang album, and Mr. Morricone is brilliant. Hey, thanks man.

Sean Vasquez That's what I'm here for.

Sean Vasquez The Thing score is mesmerizing and hauntingly brilliant. It gives me chills and is one of the best out there that isnt Carpenter or John Williams.

rick grimes Yes, indeed. I saw this film when I was 6 years old, when it came out. The music had a lot to do with it's intensity and creepiness. Thus, I have this film on Blu-ray. :-)

It was "The Night Nobody Came Home"

It was "The Night Nobody Came Home"

"The night he went missing"

Are you serious?

Yeah, his name was removed from the 30th Anniversary Edition blu-ray in the US.

If it wasn't for him, believing in John Carpenter, these films would have never been made.

Mike Williams True.

What a George Lucas thing they pulled,.

Best one in my opinion

Spencer West your opinion is 100% right

+Zome68 ..................and even better than the original, IMHO.

Yep my favorite halloween out of the franchise.

+Zome68 I think number 4 and 7 were good too

i've only seen the first 3

but i agree i also like season of the witch

@@issaknife802 never watched it

The first one, fourth one and new one is better

the original, also fuck off if you hate this movie but Halloween 3 is my 2nd favorite, Halloween h20, again fuck off if you hate this movie, rz Halloween 2, then Halloween 4

I never get tired of watching this intro.🎃

Halloween 4 is really slept on. 2nd best sequel after H2. There was no curse bullshit in it and the atmosphere set in the intro was amazing.

Daquan Weaver 4 is fun. It captured that autumn atmosphere quite well. I just couldn’t get over how in the blue hell Loomis survived 2 and how Michael could even see.

@@timetravelingilluminativam2572 Maybe he got new eyes along with those skin grafts him and Loomis got 🤣.

Jasmine Crawford Loomis must’ve had a fortune if he ended up looking better than Michael after that lol

StoneCole yeah. This is too hammy and corny.

I'd have to say this one is creepier, all the different sounds coming together makes it very eerie

Wrong

UltimateNinja 1984 An opinion is impossible to be right or wrong.

You think

Jay Child not that the first is bad or its a competition, part. 2 compliments part. 1 oh so well!!!

except for the very beginning which sounds corny but it gets dope afterwards

I like the original more but this theme is still really good

your right this part 2 is more enjoyable than anything in 2018 film

nobody is here for whatever that is

nurul insan yeah I have seen him as Sam Loomis he does a damn good job

Yes he was much better in Rob zombie film this one was so caring

ghenulo I like it.

Builds up the tension nicely

You noticed that too?

+GetReked That's because for Halloween II, Dr Loomis had watched The Rocky Horror Picture Show the night before and decided to do the Time Warp Again so to shot Michael one more time to make sure he was dead... but John Carpenter and Debra Hill had decided Michael wasn't dead afterall and since Rick Rosenthal was shooting the sequel it would have been unwise to make that movie only 10 mintutes long. :D

+A Greased Scotsman me three

it was probably a glitch with the system and probably added a extra chamber and it cough it as 7

EdTonight Productions dr Loomis probably doesn't know his math

Amy Triplett John Carpenter is a fucking genius

Me too

What if for Kills they set a pumpkin on fire that reveals a skull?

​@@jmaxx7410 nah they only put it on fire

I have a question but what does this pumpkin supposed to represent like I know the first pumpkin from the first movie meant like yeah it’s Halloween and this holiday has pumpkins and there is going to be a psychopathic serial killer doing what he must enjoy?

*john carpenter has joined the chat*

Its good

It definitely fits the evil, expressionless, emotionless killer Michael Myers is. It really symbolizes him.

Although John Carpenter wasn't interested in making a sequel at all

Greg Wise I heard about that. Have u noticed Carpenter hasn't had a hit movie in a long time?

Yeah too bad he was on a role back in late 70's to 80's. Halloween, Starman, Christine, They Live.
