I’m hoping for a hard detatchment from the entire Myers family plotline. Give the Evil a new vessle with his (Or heck, her) own victims to go after.

*Brain melts to goo and insects*

I’m hoping Michael Myers is dead, and the evil (and the mask) takes on a new host. We don’t need the dratted Strode/Myers plotline anymore. Michael at his core is scary as long as he keeps killing for unfathomable reasons.

Part 4 retcons that he merely went into a coma for like, a decade, and then proceded to go after Lauri’s daughter, since in that canon, Lauri died. But then H20 undoes that canon, and instead Michael went missing, and never showed up again till Lauri’s teenage son became the same age as Lauri was when she was attacked…

Here’s a novel concept: It doesn’t have to be Michael Myers. Hell, he’s refered to as “The Shape”. The mask matters, the evil matters, the guy underneath, not so much. If we’re to accept Michael as this entity of evil, evil doesn’t die, it just takes a new form. Heck, that’s what Carpenter originally wanted; For the…

Better than the original, plot wise that movie was a mess.

Actually the latest news is this is a sequel.

So apparently this is actually going to be a ...sequel, the way Jaws 4 ignored 3, this will ignore all the others I guess? I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a movie wedge itself in the middle of a franchise like this.

I would totally pay someone to teach me how to manage complicated combos in 2D fighters.

The Elm Street Remake is the lowest of the low in horror for me. I have an undying hatred for that movie for so many reasons.

Its in the works last I heard. Personally I’d love the hell out of Kevin Bacon in the role.

Eugh. I unno, Revelations vs Curse of. Dull as fuck vs Batshit Insane. I really can’t decide.

What horror film has ever been ‘neccisary’ by contrast?

Curse of Michael Meyers absolutely trumps Halloween 2.

Eh. Have you seen The Ward? The thing about guys like Carpenter and Craven (RIP) is that they churn out a lot of films, and as they get older, it does tend to be a little bit of a cynical view of “Welp, its a paycheck.”. Carpenter is not really all that amazing in his craft, in terms of his broader resume. He’s sort…

This does suck, but it’s systemic: You hire whose hot and in. I’m pretty sure Joan and Cletus have no idea who all the up and coming Japanese actors are. In fact, I’m pretty sure the lowest common denominator viewer has trouble even telling one Asian ethnicity from the other.

I’m actually a fan of II. It’s decent, if only as a companion piece to the original. It has a certain For TV charm.

New horror concepts are hard to come by, and in a cheap genre, most production houses are loath to pay screen writers what a good script is due. That’s why all the greats have basically been independent. Still are. Hollywood isn’t the place for innovation, not in horror anyways.

It happens pretty much every other Halloween anyways, and honestly, I see fewer and fewer people attending those screenings.

I strongly disagree. Jamie had a home spun charisma, and among the many interchangeable Final Girls, she’s one of the few that actually leaves an impression. She’s under Neve Campbell; Sidney is just the goddamn energizer bunny of Last Girls. But she ties for first place with Heather Langenkap. Nancy is a strongly…
