Thank You For Watching!! Leave Me Your Honest Thoughts On Rob Zombies Halloween?! LIKE & SUBSCRIBE!!

Imagine if the Halloween franchise never existed and this movie came out as a stand alone. I think it would be very highly regarded. The movie is plagued by expectations

Honestly I liked Zombie’s version a ton. It was a nice take on him.

MM killing Ismael really hurt my heart as well, and him being like “I was good to you, Mikey!” as he is drowned in a toilet… with the water turning red with blood… and then MM finishing him off with the TV to the head. Side note: Funny how in Scream, Stu was killed with a tv to the head while the original Halloween was playing.

His first one is absolutely amazing, idc what anyone says. The 2nd one wasn’t great near the end but he did the first movie very VERY well in my opinion. Enjoyed it all the way.

Damn Chris. You're pumping these reviews out fast like hot cakes and still manage to keep them in very high quality! Bravo to you sir!

This was one of my favorite Halloween films. Still is. But I also like RZ as a director. The back story for Michael. The killing of his whole family. His mom trying to hold on to the family she has left, hoping he can get better. Then when she realizes he does not have a chance of getting better.

Loomis : In a weird way you've become like... like my best friend Also Loomis : These are the eyes of a psychopath

This movie was really good. Rob Zombie showed us the most realistic Michael Myers and it was absolutely terrifying.

Rob Zombie’s Halloween was scarier than the original. It scared the crap out of me as a kid when they used to play it on TV on Halloween night. His mask was creepy af.

The other day I was just thinking about how good Rob zombies take on this franchise was. He set the right tone and went a slightly different route which I appreciated. His concept for the third film that was never made was pretty awesome too. Super underrated.

Zombie started the MM score at the scene where he's running from the principal's office because he was on his way to go execute his first human murder...up until then he had only killed animals...I feel that was the perfect time to play it...he was so obsessed with killing that bully that he risked everything...it gives us insight into the onset of him becoming a psychopath

I despise this Loomis for the most part. At the end of Part 2 I think he does start to feel real guilt and realize what *he* done. The OG Dr. Loomis is one of my favorite characters of all time. Idk why I just love that man

I respect what Zombie did with his interpretation of Halloween, but I love the concept of Michael Myers being a form of evil with no explanation, like the Joker in The Dark Knight, he’s a man who just wants to watch the world burn, he’s given no backstory, only up to the viewer’s opinion, Michael Myers was created as an incarnation of evil, that’s it, nothing else, which I personally find more frightening. He’s evil because he’s evil, not because of a rough upbringing.

Thank you. I honestly think Tyler Mane’s Michael Myers is beyond terrifying. That’s someone I wouldn’t want to meet in an alley.

"I had a father who didn't mind showing his son these kinds of movies." That really is so cool.

This was the first Halloween movie I watched. I really liked the realistic take on Michael Myers.

Zombies Halloween was actually the first in the series that I saw so I’ll always love it 🎃 I can have fun enjoying it as a slightly different take on the original storyline.

The best thing about Zombie’s take on Myers is that it’s HIS take so HIS take on the character is not WRONG 🙂

This film is my favorite of all. It recreates the most iconic kills and introduced new actors as main characters instead of being afraid to go outside fan favorites. The actor for Myers portrays the unstoppable evil shape perfectly. Anybody in his way will not only die but perhaps suffer something so foul before reaching a horrific death. If you're lucky you die quickly but if not he defiles you.

Rob zombie has his own unique tone and it worked perfectly for the Halloween films. This movie especially is great. Scariest Micheal Myers to this day

I can’t decide who deserves more justice, Ben Tramer who was just minding his own business or Ismael Cruz who was good to Mickey?

I actually realllllllllly liked this movie. I grew up watching this too. Don't get me wrong the original is a classic but this is such a good realistic take. This was the way to go!

This is my favourite Halloween film aswell as Halloween 4 I loved how brutal and horrid it got. It’s a more detailed look into Michaels life

I appreciate the hard work you have been doing putting out all these videos leading up to Halloween kills Chris!! Have watched and love everyone so far and can’t wait for the rest!

Dude, I love Rob Zombies version of Halloween! I love the back story part of it..and honestly this 7 foot tall version of Michael Myers is the most terrifying!! 🎃 🎃

i also remember seeing this at a young age. the whole family dynamic and the verbal abuse and hints at the physical abuse saddened me a lot when i watched this film, but it adds to the credibility of (like chris said) what real serial killers home lives were prior to them becoming one.

Finally rewatched the theatrical cut for the first time in 14 years and I remembered why I liked the movie on initial watch. I think it's a pretty good introduction to a humanized version of Myers and I actually felt bad for him. I liked the explanation of the obsession with masks too. And there was a good variety of kills too. Annie's assault is pretty gut wrenching because she ends up covered in blood but you have no idea what Michael did to her, only that it paralyzed her where she couldn't even talk. And I love endings where Michael is definitively killed, and I marked out when Laurie pulled the trigger and the blood splattered on her face and she was screaming. I also liked that maybe Michael was helping Laure aim the gun too, because he was probably just too tired and knew he had no reason to live.

Rob also always picks great makeup and special effect artists because the kills in his movies always look so real and brutal and gritty. I freaking love it 😂

Gotta love Danielle Harris. So youthful. She was 30 frigging years old when she played a high school kid in this movie. Great show as always buddy. I agree with you about this film in almost every way.

This was my first Halloween movie as well growing up, I definitely enjoyed it more than the majority

I was always a fan of Rob Zombie’s Halloween 1 & 2 back when I watched them in theatres. Sure they’re not for everyone. But at least, he put his own unique twist and spin to it and made it in his own style. Especially the 2nd one, which is one of my favourite Halloween’s. They definitely deserve more love and attention.

This movie was crazy when it first came out. I really enjoyed it being a Halloween fan. Seeing a different story doesn’t hurt.

I really enjoyed it as a kid loved it even but the second one is a bit more hit or miss in many areas but overall i do love the portrayal of Michael he's like a bruting tank an unstoppable force of nature untamable and unreasonable

I actually love RZ's Michael and I do believe the hate comes from people misunderstanding his vision. His Michael was off the walls brutal and intimidating as all hell and one of my favorite visions for the character.

Chris is like the type of guy to see Spideman no way home and say WHERES ANDREW AND TOBY

100% the most artsy Halloween movie. Absolutely love it, even if the takes on the characters are very strange in comparison to the main franchise

I owned the dvd as a kid, I remember replaying this movie plenty of times. One of my favorite remake slashers next to 2009 Jason.

Rob Zombies reboot was actually good in a way. For one, not doing a shot by shot remake, but having the remake actually feel like a remake.

I throughly enjoyed this take on Halloween. It was truly fresh in an era of remakes. I was concerned at first because it was Rob zombie but I think because carpenter gave its blessing he wanted to give the movie some justice. Now the second Halloween I’m not gonna mention but this one I can get with.

I did like this interpretation, but will always prefer the original. The one thing I liked most about Zombie's Halloween was the orange mask. I honestly think he should've stuck with that one, even though I love the iconic original mask.

Thank goodness! I've finally found someone who appreciates Rob Zombie's Halloween as much as I do. Keep up the great work, man!

Yes so hyped for holloween kills It comes out on the 15 where I live me and my cousin are gonna go see it. Keep up the good work Chris

I’m sorry but the background they gave Michael in this movie was extremely dumb and really lazy. This movie was just a terrible remake that did not do the character justice at all, even more so in the sequel.

Nice to hear this kind of review for a change. I happen to consider Rob Zombie's Halloween films among the best in the series. Watched them together again recently (first time watching directors' cuts) and it was an awesome experience. Not for everyone, but I would be surprised if the new film is as dark and violent. I still think Kills looks great, though.

After my first viewing I can’t ever watch the death scene of Danny Trejo, breaks my heart every time I have to fast forward 🥺 I actually really like this Halloween and just like you was one of my first that I saw so I have nostalgia vibes with it!

Rob Zombie’s Halloween Duology had the darkest vibe to it. Even though I like it less than the original Halloween (1978) and Halloween (2018), it still is the darkest

I'm so happy to hear you liked this movie too. Its probably my second favorite movie of the franchise because I love all the new additions made by Rob, I even like the remake scenes that most fans didn't. My only problem is the face that the theatrical cut of this one and the second are so hard to find and there are some major differences between em. If you've seen the different versions.. you know what scenes I'm talking about.

I like Rob Zombie’s take on it. It was one of the first times we got to see Michael Myers be brutal (unlike the other previous films, they didn’t show him being brutal with his kills, just sort implying it). We got a backstory on why Michael is the way he is. He came from a “bad home” where violence was common in his home. It took a child who seemed to be good kid but his environment broke him and he found an outlet of his own, more violence. More graphic than what he was experiencing. He wanted to hurt those that hurt him and then losing his mom (who he loved so much) was his breaking point. Once she died, he lost what little joy he had in life left. He became a shell of man with nothing to live for except his baby sister Boo. He had a bond with her and that what was left of the what made him happy as a kid. Once she rejected him (not knowing that was her actual brother) and after knowing he attacked her friends, he was the caused of her being traumatized, just like their mother was by his actions.

This movie has two versions, the Theatrical and Directors cut, one difference is Dr. Loomis in the Directors cut is a lot more sympathetic and seems upset that he wasn’t able to help Michael

This is one of my favorite Halloween movies and it’s truly underrated

Started watching the whole trilogy again at the same time you did and in my opinion it out did the original by going into more detail about Michael and made him scary again on screen, sure there are some flaws but overall in my opinion his trilogy is awesome. Wish we could’ve gotten more! I mean Tyler mane was 6”9 playing as Michael Myers which was just insane to see

In my opinion it never hurts to take a new approach to a character but with Michael Myers it's hard to recreate the original without screwing it up and this film does a decent job of that

I am one of those few that actually really liked this take on Michael. I quite enjoyed the story and the "perfect storm" of events that took a kid and made a monster. Maybe it's the comic fan in me that sees it as an elseworld/multiverse type thing. I thought Daeg Faerch played young Michael pretty well, he could look quite normal but also kind of sinister. Much like Halloween 3 - Season of the witch this movie gets over hated and as a stand alone movie probably would be looked upon more fondly... I guess the Halloween title is a blessing and a curse.

I had my suspicions but it’s nice to finally have confirmation that Cris is a fan of George Lopez lol

i’m 22 so this was also my “first” Halloween but i’m the odd kid who likes part 2 of the rob zombie flicks more😭😭 i just didn’t dig kid Myers… i did dig like the ending/climax though & myers in his final form.

Great review! I was always a Freddy / Jason fan growing up and never cared much for Michael Meyers until this movie came out. I dare say that I like this movie better than the original. This version of Michael is much more terrifying than the OG.

You nailed right on the head. When Debra Dies, Michael Myers Died and The Shape/The Boogeyman is born. When i saw this movie i was 23 and already have been invested in the series for 16 years at that point. That was one of the 1st things i thought of, cause i was extremely close to my Mom and their relationship just resonated with me. Also the "Ugliness" Michael says of Himself, is that evil growing inside of him, cause whenever he kills, he is wearing the mask and he feels like he can maybe hide it from the world. The rage that Loomis would talk about, was physically worn on Michael's face, especially after Mikey kills the Nurse and His Mom lifts the mask off his face and he is clearly in a Raging Demonic Episode. This was a great representation of him turning into the Evil he is described as being.

Thanks Chris! This is the movie review we’ve been all waiting for!

Been waiting for this one bro!!!! You’re amazing chris!

I agree 100%. I love this movie. It's the ultimate fan Halloween story. Everything I had wondered about was in this. The brutality is very good. Hard, fast and very realistic.

I’ve always said this is such a good take on the original. I love how gritty and real it feels. I remember my friends step dad had this on dvd when it released and he never let us watch it lol

To be honest Rob Zombies halloween movies are a guilty pleasure. Infact one thing the movies did right was how to bring the character into the modern day right. That is get rid of what's trending and go down to bare knuckle bones.

It’s okay that you didn’t have a pool Chris. Most people didn’t… Don’t do it!!!

I would follow Judith's onlyfans lol!

" i was good to you mikey " The ONE PERSON that didnt need to die

THANK YOU. finally someone sees this movie how it is. AMAZING

I really liked 2007 Zombi Halloween. Great background on your Mike and interesting take on him not being supernatural but enormous. It was more brutal than the original.

First time I watched Halloween was in early 80’s. Scared the ever livin $h1t out of me as a kid. I couldn’t go outside my house alone at night for quite a while. That said, Zombies version is the absolute best for me. The movie is so raw & I like that Michael was so effin physically huge in this, just adds to it. I watched Halloween Kills last night & it was good, like you said not the worst one. It was funny hearing the audience cheering at each kill & some of the sounds the girls would make on some of the gory scenes. 🎃🤡

I LOVED this version. The sequel to it was meh tho. Definitely lost me w the horse and ghosts

I love Rob Zombie’s “Halloween”. I like that he explored his childhood. I like how brutal Michael is in this one and “Halloween II”. Malcolm McDowell, Danielle Harris, and Brad Dourif! “Halloween II” wasn’t as good but... 🤷🏻, lol.

This version was amazing. There were plenty of faults, but the good outweighed the bad heavily. Now part 2. That's a completely different story. That's a film that never should've been made.

Never even knew this movie got hate at all it was one of my favorite holloween movies of all time

H20 was the first Halloween movie that introduced me to the Character, but being a White/Rob Zombie fan first, and then after seeing House of 1000 Corpses when I was 19… I just love Rob Zombie as a filmmaker and artist. This was an absolute savage take on Michael Meyers, definitely what the franchise needed, and maybe it wasn’t meant to be cannon, maybe it was just, in the grand scheme of things, meant to make Michael Meyers scary again. It worked. Love the videos man, the cringe intros give me life.

Nice to see someone defending this movie! I’ve been a fan since it came out, and I consider the original 1978 to be my favourite film.

Rob zombies halloween is my favorite. Might be just because it’s what I actually grew up on.

i saw this when i was like 9 and i was terrified but looking back i loved it. rob zombie for me made michael absolutely terrifying, tyler mane played Michael amazingly in my opinion his height and strength just made everything more scary

I know, it does get way too much hate. It started a new, better, and rebooted chapter of the Halloween franchise. I just love how at the beginning of the show, and it led him to a darker path and a better movie plot as well as a second movie. I'm not sure why there was no third movie for a trilogy.

I liked the R rated version better than the NR(rape to escape) version. That whole scene killed it for me. It was so much better when he murdered the cast of The Devil’s Rejects to escape…

I really loved this film! Tyler Mane was an awesome Michael!! The second movie he was even more brutal but i didnt like the subplot where he sees his mother and younger self.. made no sense to me!

who else thinks chris needs to do a michael myers mask tier list? LOVE the work he’s been doing for us

Definitely the best Halloween movie. For the exact reason you explained. They actually showed reason behind the madness.

It’s actually ties for my third favourite Halloween film along with H20. My second favourite is the original and number 1 for me is Halloween 3: Season Of The Witch, you have to review it before the Franchise ranking Chris, or I’ll put some dirt in your eye!

I like Zombie’s halloween purely because of Michael. Sure the whole backstory idea was a bit different from the other Halloween films, but adult Michael is the scariest Michael out of them all and for me a scary villain makes a good horror film.

Like you my dad took me to see this in theaters when i was also 12 lol, so it holds a special place in my heart as well. You made some really good points in this! Alot of people sh*t on this movie but honestly Michael is sick in it. Great review Chris!

THANK YOU!!! omg it’s about time this movie gets some fricken credit. Rob’s remake is AMAZING! i as well watched this in the theaters when i was 12 years old.

This was actually an amazing and unbelievably BRUTAL movie. It's one of my favorites.

I 100% enjoyed this movie on its own. Though I HATE the controversial scene that is in the Unrated Directors cut. It’s not only awful it’s also badly acted. (Michael doesn’t mind what’s going on but once they touch his mask is when he decides to act?) I love all the other additional scenes! But I much prefer the guards vs Michael break out out scene. It paints a better picture of the security of Smiths Grove while showcasing the kind of brutality that awaits Haddonfield on Halloween day. But otherwise I find this film a complete Greek tragedy. I hate RZH2. I cannot defend it. Like Halloween 3 it’s a Halloween film made for people who just wants anything BUT a Halloween film with Myers. (The “Die!” Scene should be the obvious clue). Great if anyone enjoys them but I love Halloween II, Halloween 4, H20, and Halloween 2018 so much. Halloween 6 theatrical cut is the most brutal Michael and has some of the best visual effects in terms of kills that it’s just a fun 90s fan fiction that I’ll never buy into. Plus I love the mask. Anyways. I just enjoy the Myers centered stories a lot more. I love slashers! I don’t care about Mumbo Jumbo magic or psychic connections. But Rob Zombies’ Halloween 1 is an absolute misunderstood Greek tragedy and I love it for that aspect.

Like u I had a dad that let me watch scary movies and such , but my first Halloween was the original 1978 , but when this one came out and I saw it I was hands down the best Halloween EVER and I still feel that way, I love the blumhouse remakes but still this one is so intense , I can watch it constantly. Ty for the review , keep up the good work !

Saw all the HW movies, included the last one HW kills. But I still think that Robs interpretation, meaning the 1.st one, is the best HW movie of them all

12:07 I appreciate that warning I had my tv on full blast🤣🤣

In my opinion, I think this movie I one gigantic disappointing travesty. I could talk hours on how much I loathe this film, but if others grew up with it and gives them nostalgia. That's all we really need

Rob Zombie's version was the absolute worse. He reduced Michael's motivation to being from a dysfunctional family. He moved about like Leather-Face, as oppose to the ghostly sleepwalking type boogieman. I guess we could appreciate the visuals, like the mask and the poster. It had good parts, but on a whole it was crappy. It felt like it was geared specifically for a Rob Zombie audience. Rob Zombie's other movies were classics, but HALLOWEEN was Zombie out of his lane. He's trying to turn a mystery into a demystified common serial killer. HALLOWEEN was a project for someone who understands how to create an unseen, stalking mysterious dreadnought that moved in and out of the shadows. Zombie's films had killers who were real humans, but very, very twisted. Thats what Zombie's Michael seemed like, versus being a supernatural force of nature. In fact, "House of 1000 corpses" would have worked as the soundtrack for Zombie's M.MYERS. And an element that was ignored in most of the sequels was Michael's eyes. Not seeing his eyes, but just darkness, added to his mystery. I'm sure RZ had fun making this movie. When regular hardcore HALLOWEEN fans understand who RZ is, then it kind of becomes predictable and just another dark-side of humanity ride. Then its appreciated for just what it is without comparing it to the original. I guess next, they'll let ICE-CUBE make a remake, or better yet JORDAN PEELE.

Lol you being the little kid with a tablet at the breakfast table killed me

I just realized that Trejos character died the same way that Stu did in the first Scream.

I personally loved the rob series his Michael myers was so dark and scary

8:34 At least with original Donald Pleasence Loomis he at first thought Michael was a poor insane kid who couldn't help killing Judith and tried to get through to him hence "I spent 8 years trying to reach him" but he eventually realised Michael had been fully in control during Judith's murder and that Michael's supposed "catatonia" was an act to get the other Smith's Grove guards and doctors to let their guards down so he could eventually escape. At that point he realised Michael was evil and would kill again so he tried to keep him locked up and in the TV version of the original even argues with other doctors that Michael should be moved to a higher security institution. But remake Loomis is just a greedy publicity hound who wants to make money off the story of him treating Michael and his murders.

I love your take in this movie. I completely agree too. I've always loved this version as well and have never understood the hate but to each their own.

Honestly, I would like to see Zombie’s take on Friday the 13th and Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Love this series so much man great job
