After all this time, I have still not recovered from the I'M NOT LISTENING!! AAAAHHHHH!! montage.

The original Dr Loomis was brilliant. His acting shows how damaged his character is and how desperate he is to stop Myers. You learn how awful he is just by the effects he left on Loomis.

The original Halloween was based on John Carpenter's experience growing up in the American south and witnessing horrific violence being done without any real motive other than hate. He wanted to channel that and create a killer that was simply fueled by blind hate, not for any one or any thing, just a pathological need to kill and he put the mask on him to, as Phelous points out, ensure that no one can relate to him on any level, a completely motionless, dead face... So yeah: poor kid who grew up in an abusive house!! Even though in the original, it's pretty clear the Meyers family are well-to-do and wouldn't that actually be a MORE interesting examination? This rich kid who has everything handed to him and no reason to lash out STILL has the darkness behind his eyes and the need to kill?

I got the ad for the 2018 movie, nice. Too bad I wasn't listening! AAAAH!

years later and I still piss myself laughing at “I’m not listening!!! AAAAHAHAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!”

"Trick or Treat, muthafuckah!" "I'm not listening! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Every time this movie tries making me "relate" to Micheal I'll just do a montage of I'M NOT LISTENING *AAAAA*

Looks like Michael Myers shrunk in the washing machine 😂😂

The Mike Meyers Charlie Brown music joke gets me every time XD

If Rob Zombie did a Hellraiser remake Pinhead would have a beard too.

Is it just me or didn't it seem that Laurie was safe from Michael? It seemed he just wanted to be family again, especially when he put his knife down and got on his knees. He only tried to kill her when she stabbed him.

18:59 Weirdly Halloween Kills does try to apply Freddy Krueger's "It's our fear that gives him power" approach to Michael.

12:22 this pretty much sums up why I have grown to dislike the KZfaq copyright algorithm bullshite whatever. The use of original Halloween soundtrack just fit so perfectly for this "betrayal of Loomis' character" joke, and also this ending scene that's being referenced is my favorite part of the 4th movie. Now that the song has been replaced (for good reasons I know, your hands are tied...) not only has the joke lost its original dramatic flair, but the Donald Pleasence's scene becomes ridiculous (in the most negative way of speaking). Again, can't fault you, I blame the system... In other news, I just saw the new Halloween (which I thought was great) and what a perfect way to finish my day by watching Phelous tackle the ultimately very meh Rob Zombie re-imagining or whatnot. Seen this review (and its sequel) at least ten times and it's still gold, great job!

I always wondered what ever happened to Michael's parents in the original

Hell even the short scene of Freddy as a kid wasn't poorly done, it was used to establish he was evil and cruel from the start (even if it's a little bit silly) but here we have to try to relate to Michael. Why I didn't mind the child Freddy scenes in Freddy's Dead is the idea was that Freddy was supposed to be the villain, we were not supposed to like him (as a good guy), he wasn't innocent. Michael in this was the victim

I swear the “I’M NOT LISTENING AAAAAAA” montage always breaks me, I NEED to see that gag resurrected for 2018/Kills/Ends if you review em

Well, now all i can think of is Michael Meyers dancing to dragula

The Halloween remakes/sequels reviews are Phelous' best work in my opinion. 5:40 - 6:10 is hysterical! 😂😂😂

It almost feels like the director took what could be a cautionary tale about the fact psychopaths are born, not made, and tried to turn it into a circumstantial sociopath's revenge story... are we even supposed to want any of them to survive at this point?

I love seeing Phelous nonchalantly bully Michael Myers like he was a little brat. :P

*IM NOT LISTENING! AAAAAHHHH!!*

Never thought I'd love long enough for someone to make a movie where a teenage girl sexualizes a bagel.

It's terrible but whenever I hear the Micheal Myers stinger I think of your dorky incarnation of the character lol

Phelous, I love all of your work but from 3:10 - 4:05 is probably the hardest your videos have made me laugh. No matter how many time I watch it, I can’t stop laughing! Too funny.

Wasnt prepared for the Not listening montage lmao

Don't worry though, guys, Rob Zombie thinks his movies were nothing short of amazing. He ain't listening to all the haters! ... jesus. I like some of the guy's music but talk about sniff your own farts to get high.

I just assumed that everyone in the town was assholes. I got used to Michael as the good guy. In fact, I just assumed that the nurses cheated on their taxes or had over-due library books.

Thanks Phelan, now I’m even more hyped for Halloween 2018 tomorrow thanks to this vid.

A reupload? Of one of his best videos?....Ok I'm fine

“What you doing dad” “I have a date with a six year old boy”

Such an amazing review man people sleeping on phelous

The part at 3:32 made me seriously ROFL xD the timing in the scene is P E R F E C T with the stupid scream!

I've watched this a few times and I love that it was reuploaded again. One of the best love it!

Still one of my favorite videos you've done

I saw this in the theatre with my mom at 12 so awkward. Phelous of all the Halloween 07 reviews on KZfaq yours is the most funny

I wonder if Jason would look like rob zombie if he direct Friday the 13th

I'm not listening! Aaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!! Why the reupload, though? Also, I hate how people assume bad childhood = relatable villain. That's just awful writing.

Rob stick to music ok

I'm not listening! *AAAAAAAAA*

I give Malcolm McDowell credit for at least trying to do a good job, but certainly not Donald Pleasance who was perfectly cast by John Carpenter in 1978. While its sad that Deborah kills herself and leaves little Angel/Laurie an orphan, but casting your spouse as a sexualized & clueless object defeats most of the sympathy. While Tyler Mane looks imposing and is savage in the role, Nick Castle’s eerie stalking Shape was more terrifying and the fact he subtly killed his victims until the sequels made it blander

Gotta love the gag of Michael Myres rocking out to ROB ZOMBIE's Dragula, as I can totally see Phelous' version of Michael being a fan of Rob Zombie's music!

Will we have a return of the Phelous Micheal Myers in any upcoming reviews? Especially for the 2018 movie?

This is the first Phelous review I ever watched :’)

Several years ago, a buddy of mine owned a bookstore in Georgia. Rob Zombie filmed a few scenes of Halloween II (I think it was the sequel) was filmed at my friend's store over a weekend. My friend charged Zombie 10 grand, which was apparently the going rate for such to-dos. For whatever reason, they didn't get all the shots they needed, so Zombie asked my friend if he could take one more day out of his business. "Sure," my friend said. "That'll be another 10 grand." My friend some Zombie was kind of a dick & the first Halloween remake sucked anyway.

"And Michael was Freddy Krueger all along..." You know, that would be better than the Zombie H2.

I was looking through the youtube channel not that long ago thinking "Wait, Phelan did a lot more then 3 Halloween movies... Damn it..." so nice to see these back.

Imagine if they cast Mike Meyers to play Micheal

Give Rob zombie credit, he had to take a bullet for the team and get his hands dirty to make a Halloween remake. Why? Well if he didn’t do it, SOMEONE else would’ve done it and believe it good, it might’ve gone EASILY worse. So it was essentially “Damned if you do, Damned if you don’t”

When you're not listening

this was a really good review Phelous didn't mind seeing it again. classic. did you know Micheal's coveralls were actually Spruce Green color? they used so much blue lighting in the movie that it made them look blue. Happy Halloween everybody.

Preparation for the 2018 halloween review huh?

Rob Zombie one said that people are too comfortable with Michael Myers, they’re too used to him, he wanted to redefine the character So he decided to try and give him a sympathetic backstory- wait a minute

Both Rob Zombie and Zack Synder need to go on an extensive multi week course to learn what subtlety and restraint are.

Yeah I tried to watch Rob Zombie’s Halloween this Month due to Halloween Ends coming out. But I just couldn’t sit through it again. Now I can deal with Curse and Resurrection, but Halloween 2007 just doesn’t feel like a Halloween movie. Everyone is just noisy with yelling and screaming with swearing. They give Michael Myers this tragic backstory he comes from a bad household. It’s just not necessary.

Phelan reminds me of legendary writer Alan Moore in the beginning.

Phelous I love you

I like the Michaels costume in this one the longer hair and messed up jump suit make him look more deranged

Phelous, please make a separate "I'm not listening! AAAAAHHHHH!!" montage. : D

Phelous you’re so funny!

I unironically miss Selouph sometimes XD

The reason he re-uploaded it is because of copyright. Either it's the music or the movie.

Phelous I think I remember this upload being re Uploaded so many times that I think this may officially be the Michael Myers of Internet videos IT.WONT.DIE

It's time, Michael. I'm not listening! *Explodes* AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!

Phelous I love ur work Classic review from a classic reviewer

6:07 Oh I love this song

Danny Trejo's character is(was) Not an a-hole though…

So Rob Zombie made these movies to promote his wife - just like Paul W.S. Anderson did with his Resident Evil films. At least Milla Iovovich isn't that bad of an actress. Unlike Rob Zombie's wife.

Old Man voice in a Halloween Remake Review... AWESOME

I heard the reason he gone bad was because he was possessed by dreams of the story of Samhain. But unfortunately I’m not listening! AAAAAHHHHH!

Your review of this movie is way better than NC's Review

You misread the intent of the hospital sequences. That child Michael is anything but “normal” He’s dead behind the eyes, the emotions are feigned. As soon as he realizes lying about killing and pretending to want to go home won’t get him anywhere he shifts his focus internally. No reason to interact with the meat sacks that are locking you up. Better to bide your time until opportunity strikes and you are capable enough to enact a plan.

Danielle Harris was also Jamie in Halloweens 4 & 5.

8:02 So... haven't watched the movie so maybe this scene works bette in context but... She telling her mom that her teacher is a perv who's touching her, and her mom is like "Okay, I don't wanna know." I mean, unless this movie was written by Daryll from charmes, the response doesn't seem appropriate.

noticed you've taken out the original Halloween theme from the original version? Copyright claims am I right? oh well least the majority of the review is intact.

Mostly Rob went nowhere with this new direction he took, he had the chance to actually build some kind of lore or crazy reasoning but that doesn't happen, more show than tell how Loomis "failed" him and how Myers thinks even if that would likely be surreal could have been better. They had that mask thing going on but it didn't go anywhere either, sounds like a theme Wes Craven could have written better. Oh well this gave me an excuse to revisit.

I'm not listening Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!! Omg it's too funny!!

*I'm not listening. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.* How is this not a meme?

Thank god a horror review 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Ayyy a horror review. Good shit Phelous

Positive Points: •While it isn't the cast's fault that they do bad, they were casted well. Tyler Mane is by far one of the most intimidating versions of Michael Myers, Malcolm McDowell would make a great Dr. Loomis IF DONE WELL, Brad Dourif is admittedly perfect as the Sheriff, Scout Taylor-Compton could've been a great Laurie Strode, plus Udo Kier, Richard Lynch, Sybil Danning, Danny Trejo, Clint Howard, Bill Moseley, Leslie Easterbrook, Dee Wallace and Ken Forre are in it. Half of them may or may not be d-bags in the movie, but having any of those stars in a movie is ALWAYS fun. •Again, Tyler Mane does an EXCELLENT Michael Myers. The Michael Myers-es before him are scary, but having Michael being built like a bulldozer makes his presence even MORE intimidating. Though then again, how DID his hair fit in there? •Michael's costume. Being very dirty and weathered just somehow belongs in a Halloween movie. Heck, the new Halloween reboot trilogy sure has that. •Like you said, Phelous, Laurie AT TIMES has a funny quirky side to her, andif they had built upon that, maybe we actually COULD care about her. Then there's everything else. VERY NEGATIVE!

A want to see this film remade with Phelous in the title role - a Phe-make.

I mean not everything in this movie was a fucked idea I mean The black mesh behind the eyeholes kinda enhanced the “blackest eyes” thing they original was going for as his eyes could see us but we couldn’t see his eyes and due to the black mesh all we could see was black If only Rob Zombie’s movies weren’t the only thing to - no wait, Halloween 4 did that, and amateur costume makers have been doing it for years also

Admit it Phelous. You want a longer beard. We remember non-facial hair Phelous and....and it doesn't look right, mang. It doesn't look right.

Best review of this. I love this series and 5 sucks because of Tina but this ISN'T HALLOWEEN and Tina is more likeable than any of Rob Z's characters.

Rob zombie movies are like if you make about a creepy music video

I just watched the Cinema Snob review and thought to look up yours... quite the coincidence! What happened, youtube pulled it?

Wait? Michael was really Venkman disguise as Phelan this whole time? I should have guessed.

I'm wondering if the scenes of Michael as a kid would work better if they just showed him as a normal kid. That way, when he snaps, it's much more impactful because we sympathize with him and then now we have to sympathize with a mass murderer who has no motivation other than enjoyment of the kill. Sort of like Norman Bates in Psycho.

Originally Released: October 24, 2012...but reupload it twice

That reveal sound effect from Halloween has been ruined by you. Not in a bad way, that had always been part of the scariest moments in the film. You use it to good comedic effect

Hey it's Phelaween

I miss HallowWeenie.

16:45 YOU MADE MICHAEL MYERS CRY, YOU HEARTLESS BASTARD!!!

It's insane they tried to make us feel bad for Michael Meyers. WHY?

I'd really love to see Rob Zombie's take on the Joker. /s

So, Michael “Kid Anakin Skywalker” Myers, then? Cue prequel Vader final transformation clip: *NOOOOoooooooo!*

Even though it’s a reupload, hooray!!! Any hope for the re-re-make?

There's piano in the opening, it's kinda creepy...

Godamn it, now I have to re-subtitle the video again.

Why do modern horror movies persist in making the characters we're supposed to care about into assholes? Do they not understand that the audience can't relate to assholes? Or do they think their audience is made up of assholes and therefore can only relate to assholes? Rob Zombie seems to want us to care more about Michael than Laurie. Why? Is it because Michael is male and Laurie is female, and he thinks his audience is going to be mostly teenage boys who won't be able to care about a girl because they only see girls as bitches and sluts, like all the female characters in this movie? Laurie acts like a slut, and even Michael's mother--the only sympathetic female character--is a stripper, and therefore looks like a slut. This movie's attitude toward women is worthy of Michael Bay.
