Just imagine trying to live a normal life and your brother is after you for over 40 years

There is NO way to easily understand the Halloween timeline, but you did as good a job as anyone could to make it make sense. 😂😂

"The boyfriend, however,was there for a shoot n scoot..." 💀

Calling the three different main timelines the Loomis, Laurie and Michael timeline is BLOODY BRILLIANT! It makes so much sense! Great work once again!

It's good to know that I am not the only one deeply obsessed with this franchise 😅 Thanks for your great work!

I completely agree that, the 'Halloween' franchise, intentionally or not, is like those old 'Choose Your Own Adventure' books I grew up on! Of course, nowadays the same concept exists in video games where you choose which action to take after the player is asked a question. So if the 'Halloween' franchise (excluding ‘Season of the Witch’ and the Rob Zombie remake) was a choose your own adventure, it would go something like: Halloween (1978): Does Laurie immediately go to the hospital? → Halloween 2 → Halloween 4 → Halloween 5 → Halloween 6 (This would be the “Loomis timeline”) Halloween (1978): Does Laurie immediately go to the hospital? → Halloween 2: Does Laurie go into hiding? → H20 → Halloween: Resurrection (This would be the “Laurie timeline”) Halloween (1978): Does Michael get caught? → Halloween (2018) → Halloween Kills → Halloween Ends (This would be the “Michael timeline”)

The timelines are such a trainwreck but it's a train that I love to take. I absolutely love the new timeline and I'm glad it came to an end in a way for Laurie to have closure. They did Laurie right in it 💚

i’ve watched every episode of halloween videos you’ve done and even tho i know just about everything about halloween from them and others, i always still love to see a great in depth breakdown! thanks for making videos

I appreciate the care you put into making this; however, the main thing I’ll be taking from this is the phrase “shoot and scoot.”

You did a great job breaking down the Halloween films, I never really seen it as 5 different timelines but it does make sense

It's very strange to me how Mike just turns off for long stretches of time. He allows himself to be caught and kept. Very strange.

I oddly enough really like seeing the scene in Season of the witch, where they show the og Halloween as something similar to the stab movies in scream. Maybe it could be a retelling of the events that happened, similar to Stab but they decided to use scenes from the actual first film to save on money.

I can make even more simple. It's all the SAME timeline and we see it through Laurie's lens of the world. Only she is a paranoid schizophrenic, so sometimes she has a daughter, sometimes a son, sometimes she is dead, sometimes she isn't. Sometimes she isn't even the same person... :) j/k great video for explaining this mess :)

I enjoyed that. Fairly good explanation for the series. Nicely done.

Hey Zach just wanted to say thanks again for your continuas top tier content. I've been going through a rough patch and your videos really help me keep the depression at bay.

Wow!! Loved it ❤ makes me want to re-watch them all 🎉

Excellent video! This could really help people who just got into the films with the latest trilogy to see if they want to watch the others.

I enjoy these videos sm

Actually Halloween III could be made canon with any Halloween timeline. The reason? Because there is a theory that young Michael's clown mask could've been an early prototype of the Silver Shamrock masks and the trailer for the Halloween movie constantly shown on TVs in that film could simply be a TV drama of adult Michael's horrific rampage 15 years later. Think Stab in the Scream movies.

I think the most logical conclusion for the Silver Shamrock masks being in Halloween 2018 is just that both timelines have their own version of Silver Shamrock novelties

This video is so freaking good.

I love this kind of videos.

This video is mind blowing 🤯🤯🤯. I love it!

Great video, you're very sharp zack. Thank ya! #300 👍🏻

Love you cherry!!!! 🤘🏼🎃🎃🍒

I needed this.

“I spent 8 years trying to reach him, and another 7 trying to keep him locked up.”

Excellent video

Cool video!

Hey zack how are you? Thanks so much for the great videos

This just a theory. Halloween III is canon in the Michael Myers world, but it exit as a movie within a movie because Michael killed a lot of people on Halloween night, his story becomes national news, spreading fear all over America. A lot of people don’t see Halloween as a awesome day to celebrate anymore out of fear of being killed by a boogeyman and Halloween III was made to capitalize on that fear and the movie was such a success, the three mask have become Halloween costumes favorites

i missed you so much

This is a very good

Love the Halloween content, man. Thanks 👌🏽🍻

So I've been watching the Halloween franchise to refresh my knowledge of it, and this all sounds complicated, and I think it's because there's like 3 different franchises, but I decided to watch this to finally understand it and possibly learn more minor stuff about the franchise.

H20 timeline should be the original timeline. H20 was made perfectly for the canon route. Jamie lee Curtis should’ve never remade the story line.

i wish Halloween H20 filmed the scene in the original script where Laurie found out Michael killed her daughter when one of her roommates was reading a report she wrote about the history of Michael not knowing she was reading about her teacher since she faked her death and changed her name

I might be in the minority on this, but my favorite timeline is the anthology timeline. Halloween 3 is my second favorite Halloween movie, because it is so different, so refreshing, and much like the original, has a cliffhanger ending that doesn't need to be resolved. With a franchise called Halloween, there are a million other things that can happen on the holiday than a masked psycho stalking babysitters! Does that mean Michael Myers can't return in one of the future installments? Of course not! He could return as an antagonist in like the fourth or fifth movie! Overall, when it comes to the Halloween movies, the 1978 original, Halloween 3, and Rob Zombie's remake (fight me) are the only ones I love and watch several times a year happily! As for the others, although some of them are good, they don't beg to be rewatched in my opinion.

Cz world did awesome videos on this too. He called this the Halloween express saying the franchise can be organized like its a railroad station with each timeline being a different route on the train called Halloween express and you can go on each of this different routes like a train does lol

vary nice 😎

What editing software do you use to make your videos? I love this format.

One thing i love about the Halloween franchise is its a "choose your own adventure" where you can choose your own timeline. Cody Leach broke down the different timelines, its fairly interesting!! My personal timeline is Halloween (1978), Halloween II (1981), and Halloween H20 (to end it)

growing up halloween was by far the scariest films for me. micheal myers scared me to death 😭 but i think its about time to watch all the movies

You should do Texas chainsaw timeline!

Off topic but I really hope you’ll do a “who killed who” video for the scream tv series season 1 & 3. And 2 you can sorta do like scream 3

10:38 Dad, mom, oh no, I miss them. 😭😭😭.

Thanks for explaining this to people! I will say I have my own timeline… the best way I like to watch the series is… H78,81 and H20🖤🖤

My fav timeline is def the michael one the rest are still good but this one sticks out more to me

Shoot and scoot 😂😂😂

My boy C-3PO!

The Silver Shamrock masks in the H40 trilogy are just a nod to that movie. Halloween III never gets enough love so that was Kool to see

I still prefer the idea that Halloween 1 and 2 are a complete start and end. Michael burning the way he did left there no room for him to "return" in halloween 4. I consider H4 a reboot in the timeline altogether so they can keep creating narratives with Michael involved. I loved the mystery of Samhain that Michael drew on the chalk board in blood. That alone gives it such a mystery and lets you create tons of theories, but then they failed with the cult reveal.

Time for Danielle Harris to get her 40 years sequel as Jamie.

Dang. Dr. Loomis was Michael’s doctor for over 15 years? Who da heck be paying his medical bills? Michael Myers got Blue Cross Blue Shield? 🤣

Shoot and scoot 😂 ... is that a real expression, or did you make that up?

Did Micheal not work out or eat much while locked up? Or do other "natural processes"? If not, it really is really is miraculous that he stayed so strong.

I make my gf watch them every year for Halloween. And have to explain every year lol I'm gonna send her this

Omitting Halloween 3, there's 4 timelines. The H1-H6 timeline, the H1,H2 & H20 & Resurrection timeline, the Rob Zombie timeline, and the Danny McBride timeline.

For me, the original Halloween 1-2 has always been my only timeline. Everything else is What If continuity

Where did u get these scenes front the first movie. I have never seen some of these

My ONLY question is how df Sartain knew where Laurie house was? I know Haddonfield is a small town, but he had just met Laurie. And he wasn’t with the cops that led her, Karen, and Alison’s dad to the house.

Did Laurie ever get her wounds treated at like a hospital in the 40 year timeline. Like did she just go to school with a slashed arm or?….

Halloween kills set up Michael to be a unstoppable/mythical force. With the amount of stabs and shots Michael took in kills it killed any theory he is human. Then you have Ends. He turned out to be a hobo living in a cave. That’s his legacy.

Yayyyyy love this franchise all these Movies are awesome lol resurrection not as much but rest top tier lol

The Halloween Express

10:02 This is from the TV cut and is not canon, as it goes against what Dr. Loomis tells Sheriff Brackett in the actual film about spending "eight years trying to reach" Michael. In the TV cut, Loomis is already convinced of Michael's evil six months in.

Alyson had Cory child we could see a reboot time with That child murder people or a new timeline where we get mrs.Lommis child try to kill Michael

Halloween timelines video ahh

Dig that casual use of the term “ shoot and scoot”

Are the comic books canon? And who writes them?

Only for the Knoxville 1979 it came out 1988

The Silver Shamrock masks in the new Halloween trilogy are there for fan service. Let's not overthink this stuff.

Loomis kills MM offscreen at the end of 6, hence why the Cult of Thorn timeline ends there and his mask is on the floor.

I include another timeline consisting of the first film alone, ending ambiguously as to Michael's fate and that of Laurie, who is not his sister.

3 gets connected to the original series by the curse of thorn stuff...

Poor Ben.

Goated creator

H1, H II, + H2O are good. H1, H 2018, H KILLS, and H ENDS work great too. But my biggest weakness is for H I, H II, H IV, H V, and H VI PC.

Best timeline: H1-H6 (Loomis Timeline) Worst timeline: H'18-HE (Michael Timeline)

Would love a video like this of Nightmare on Elm Street, including Freddy’s Nightmares Series! Pleaseee 🙌🏼🙏🏼!!!! Like for thiss!

I'm not sure you have the Rob Zombie timeline dates correct. In the beginning of his first movie there's a title card that states Halloween 1978. So his timeline begins in 1978 not 1990. So the second half where Laurie is a teenager it says present day, but may not be the current year the movie came out. My guess is this part of the movie where Michael is an adult takes place in the early 90s not 2007.

I don’t get how the police thought Michael was complete ash after Halloween 2 in the Laurie Timeline. That’s not how cremation works, bone can’t be turned into ash upon burning. In a crematorium the bones are grinned until they become ash. Even then, ash can’t just disappear. It would still be there.

These timelines remind me of the cloverfield universe cept this is the Michael Myers universe lol. All similar but also very different lol realities or timelines lol. Similar to back to the future two too lol.

I think the best timeline would have been 1, 2, and H2o. And no Resurrection lol.

The h20 time-line is Canon to me (without resurrection)

I was thinking “ it wasnt until Halloween Kills in Haddonfield Memorial Hospital that we realize Michael is in fact Laurie Strode’s brother and he came back home 40 yrs later! BOOM! in Halloween Ends Laurie and the town of Haddonfield IL take Michael’s body to the waste management and Laurie chops off Michaels head with an axe 40 yrs later! The whole series goes in circles

Yes my friend you are right the owner of this KZfaq link now I must say don't make a mistake about it that it is a twine Multiverse movie Paradox because Halloween 3 as it was only in a film that you seen Michael Myers that means it exists in a different universe Multiverse all these French have of Michael Myers just all reminds me of happy death birthday part 2 let's all put on mine to it right because already is take example of Spider-Man 3 no way home same thing the exact same thing Put your mind to it.

I refused to see Halloween Kills and Ends because 2018 seemed to be the perfect ending. Michael had such a connection to his own house, Laurie used that to her advantage and used her own house, her own refuge, her own safe space as her weapon against him. It was perfect. Then they had to make sequels. But I must say, this is the first time I've heard about anything in Ends. It actually sounds like a good movie. I like the commentary about turning an innocent person into the monster society believes they are. I dislike the treatment of Tommy Doyle in the second one. It seems Kills doesn't have a reason to exist, so that's why they kill Laurie's daughter. To make it mean something. Otherwise there's no reason to care about it

I always considered the Halloween Canon of 3 h1,h2, h4,5 and 6. Then h1,h2,h20 and Resurrection. Bkumhouse timeline H1, H2018, Kills and Ends Zombies is more of an alternate universe as Michael is not supernatural in this version. H3 is its own thing since there was never w direct connection of that movie any any of the others in the story Canon, however we get waster eggs but also Nancy actress played thr mom in H3 where Halloween 1 and 2 Canon timelines she's dead played by the same actress.

Maybe these are separate universes but very similar like in Halloween three universe there's the shamrock masks and Halloween is a movie while in the regular Halloween universe or David Gordon green one there is silver shamrock masks but Halloween movies are real life not movies on tv lol. These are alternate realities each timeline they have similarities and differences lol all branching off from og movie most of them that's how alternate realities work lol now each choice we make branches off to another set of events lol. Of course two timelines are very different but similar too. Rob zombie one its like what if the Myers family is disfunctional. In og Halloween its original story sequels is like what if they're related lol the new one is what if they're not related lol.

I thought the rob zombie Halloween took place in the 70's too, which is why they were dressed as people from rhps

Its nor a mess to me

My dad said it was that way because they messed it up that much.

I think the Halloween timeline ended at H20

I want you to know all the films counts only if you only include them all except for Rob Zombie and Halloween 3 season of the witch but this is a good video I do like it but the only way that I can conclude this is to say that your video is good and. I believe that all these other films still cannon with of the idea of the failed marriages of the 2 failed marriages So according to me than I think that the timeline still goes like this Halloween Halloween 2 Hallow2 Sam ham caught Halloween return of Michael Myers Halloween revenge of Michael Myers Halloween curse of Michael Myers Halloween 20 years later Halloween resurrection Hain thousand 18 Halloween kills evil dies tonight Halloween ends death of Michael Myers This is what I am thinking or the timeline is heading towards if you want to know why I think that the 3 New ones is years later you do remember and Halloween resurrection where he opened his eyes it shows that he was not dead maybe he was sent back to Smiths Grove and during the transfer he escaped again have you thought about that? Then I want to see a new and updated her and requested for a video to cover on justice list alone you don’t have to match mine because it doesn’t just yet it’s not even happening yet I am going to write it out because you do remember the whole guys had mommy log that is not the result of being burned by fire I think that is more as a result as being burnt by hydrochloric acid that can be the results of that in my movie has got to show that but other than that I I just hope that this helps you I was it and I hope that this helps you are in someway shape or form because I think that the way that you put the three new ones never happened yet not until years later there’s no such thing as five timelines they all count maybe until four what is the shape with the exception of season of the witch Halloween and Rob Zombie‘s version of howling as well but the question is this could rob zombies version of Halloween could it be prequel‘s before them if you go with the theological cuts of? Maybe you can answer that for me in a video that you probably can do but other than that I will go for now and I hope that you do a new update video with me having credit to giving you a video idea for you to cover on the idea that the timeline is straightforward with of the idea of 3 marriages and what is the idea that Michael Myers never did die maybe he lay dormant underneath the house it was revealed and resurrection Halloween saying that Laurie strode never killed Michael Myers she just assumed That was just Michael Myers being back there she never even took off the mask in 20 years later Halloween so I will say that she won’t matter self fine and her brother’s footsteps I’m going to answer these questions you know what to do

I like to watch 1 2 and H20 and pretend that resurrection didn't happen

The Michael timeline is the one screwing everything up. The Jamie Lloyd timeline can exist with Laurie’s timeline. Wether it’s an invention from the cult of Thorn, or Laurie abandoning her first child. You can suspend disbelief. One thing that never changed though, is how Laurie has an awful love life, in all timelines, lol. To me, Michael being her long lost brother, is canon. And make sense. Especially when Scream 3 gave homage to that, with the Roman character. And the Scream franchise is known for being heavily inspired by Halloween.

"The Halloween Timeline Simplified"...and here I am watching a 35 minute video 😲 lol (just a joke)

The Halloween franchise is so messy. Like the Mortal Kombat video game franchise. One timeline over another. 😭😭

How is michael 27 in 2007 in the rob zombie universe but when its 1990 michael was already in middle school ? Tf
