I appreciate his adamant refusal to be pigeonholed.

The thing that got me momentarily excited in the lead up to Halloween 2018 was a comment that McBride made in an interview in which he observed that in the original, Michael Myers is a creepy stalker more than a murderer. I’m not sure when he changed his mind but the original observation points to why none of the…

my mother in law became a grandma at 36!

I think she was supposed to be 18 in the first one, so 58 in 2018 when the last one takes place. Not impossible, but she’d be 40/42 (I think her GD is at least 16) when she became a grandmother. So yeah definitely possible, just on the younger side. 

It really is good, though. The deaths have real weight (Annie’s in particular), Loomis is finally portrayed as the impotent, opportunistic scumbag that he always was (seeing him confronted by a victim’s father at his book signing is really affecting, and his pathetic talk show appearance is a fantastic bit of gallows…

I mean, Halloween Kids is basically the prologue of the first movie (and the first half of the 2007 movie).

Rudd looks so young there! That was what, 2011?

“Well the detectives/agents don’t do the actual apprehension if you did track them down a tactical unit would be the one to handle that and you’d have a large cordon of police around the area.”

Its always funny to me when some detective with barely a vest goes right in front of a whole group of heavy protected SWAT guys…

It’s simple: in the new timeline, nearly all the films after the original Halloween are non-canon. But the Halloween Expanded Universe novels are back in-canon. Also Halloween Returns is no longer canon, but Halloween IV: The Quest for Peace is. And due to The Watcher’s meddling, the Halloween TOS timeline and the…

Jamie Lee Curtis is 62. If she had a kid when she was 22, they’d be 40. She very easily can have a teenage grandchild. She could even be a great grandmother by now. 

These “new” sequels are as lame as the old sequels. Honestly, and it feels weird to say this, H2O seems to me to be the most compelling follow up to the original. Even H2 doesn’t authentically sit next to the original, despite Mr Carpenter’s perfunctory involvement. The original may very well be my favourite American…

The thing that gets me about the 2018 movie (and from the sound of it, this one) is how the makers went on and on about their reverence for the original. Then I watch it and the level of brutality is far closer to Rob Zombie’s version than Carpenter’s. One of my favorite elements of the original is that its most…

It’s in the same vein as even though I keep watching some of the police/agency procedurals, where when they finally track down the suspect in the second act he evades the detectives/agents.

You can’t quit me, I FIRE myself!!

It’s actually Dr. Halloween’s Monster.

I was outside putting up Halloween decorations before, and as I loaded this page some sweat got in my eye, and with my vision blurred, I thought it said Halloween Kids and had a brief vision of a Muppet Babies-style Halloween with little kid versions of Michael Meyers, Laurie, and Dr. Loomis.

I thought the spirit of Halloween was Paul Rudd looking even babier-faced than usual:

I would put Jason X over every Halloween except the first.

The filmmakers seem to have forgotten what the Halloween movies are really all about. Tyra Banks filming a reality show with Busta Rhymes. 

I’m going to have to take issue with this film and how the trailer showed Michael Myers killing a number of firefighters and the police arriving later and finding them dead. It’s standard practice for police to arrive with if not before the firefighters to secure the scene precisely because the cause of the fire could…
