Starts filming this week

4 is solid if you get past the worst Myers mask.

So your prefer the comedy version written by that Candian faggot Danny McBride with endless quips?

I liked the newer one well enough.
For a sequel to a horror movie, the bar is extremely low, and I enjoyed it still. Better than the dumb "Laurie's daughter", mystic druid clans, or Busta beating him with kung fu.

Definitely watch Halloween III. Super spooky.

A fucking nother one???? Jesus fucking Christ

No. But the comedy was minor. The opening scene at the nuthouse, Carpenter’s score, the scene of Myers going house to house killing make it far superior

You really don't need to see anymore. The franchise isn't Friday the 13th. It takes itself too seriously for such mediocrity.

Lots of Halloween 2018 was copy and pasted from many other Halloween films. It had the worst Halloween atmosphere out of any Halloween film. Felt like the fucking thing was filmed in March.

>Felt like the fucking thing was filmed in March.

As opposed to the original that was filmed in the summer in LA

I am. I liked 2018. Wasn't perfect, but it was a decent sequel, which is really all one can hope for

III is good (but its a standalone film without Mikey)

IV and H20 are good. Rob Zombie's first movie is good for its shear brutality. The second one, just watch the hospital scene on youtube, rest is garbage
2018 is good too.

As a person who also liked the remake, I just wanna ask you. Why do people think it "tried" to explain Michael's origin? It showed that he came from a shitty family, but I don't think the film implied why he became a killer is because he's from a shitty home. The evil was inside him regardless of the environment. I have no idea why so many fucking brainlets go "TRIED TO EGGSPLANE HIS BACKSTROY"

They argue that it was an attempt to explain because you see Michael's childhood for more than 5 seconds. He's still an evil bastard and him not getting to go trick r treating or his step dad bein a prick doesn't explain it

What a stupid name. All they had to do was name it: "The End of Summer".

>"The End of Summer".
They have to smack the Halloween name on it or people wont know what it is

The FUCKING MASK ISN'T ENOUGH-that's how dumb people are in 2019.

The next film: Halloween Causes Deaths should be ok.

Meh? I liked 2018 but I don't get the point of making more besides money.

3rd ones name is already announced (not messing with you, seriously). Halloween Ends

>Who’s excited
After the meh-fest that was Halloween 2018, I am super NOT excited.

Nice trips of truth, but the Michael Myers saga is Halloween, Halloween II, and Halloween 4. That's it.

>Which Halloween movies are worth watching? I have only seen original Halloween and Halloween II
As far as the Michael Meyers movies, part 1, 2, 4 and 5. Don't bother with anything else, except for 3 if you want to watch a solid '80s flick that has nothing to do with the Halloween mythos. They should have just named it Season of the Witch and had it be it's own thing. People only shit on it because they wanted more Michael Meyers.

And they couldn't call it "Halloween Wanes" Or: "Halloween's Twilight" (although faggot vampires ruined that word I s'pose.)

Why fucking split it into two films and then announce the cast for both the films which pretty much confirms that everyone will make it to the second? Should've just had one more with Laurie and Michael finally killing each other with Allyson becoming the new killer.

because TRILOGIES, user

i like the 4,5,6 trillogy and everything after that is garbage not worth anyone's time

Halloween 5 is one of the worst films in the franchise.

I agree. I, II, and IV make a nice story. Each is a little different but still consistent in quality (aside from the mask)
You heard of what the original Halloween 4 script was like? Michael was supposed to be able to grow fingers back and grow to like 12 feet tall.
Happy they scrapped it and did what they did

I wanna see a comedy film about Michael's time in phsychiatric hospital, where he actually does talk. He could joke around with Loomis while Loomis lies about Michael to promote his bullshit career as a big-time psychologist. Every once in a while, Michael actually kills an orderly or a fellow patient and they put him in the hole for a month. KEK

I'm not as hyped up as much as I was for 2018 since it was a long hiatus at that point, but I will definitely watch it to see where they go. Anthony Michael Hall as Tommy Doyle and the return of Kyle Richards will be interesting to see as well.

>You heard of what the original Halloween 4 script was like? Michael was supposed to be able to grow fingers back and grow to like 12 feet tall.
>Happy they scrapped it and did what they did
Happy to say the least. This is the first I've herd of that. I would laugh all day if they did a film where Myers suddenly grew 12 feet tall. I bet characters would still have trouble spotting him until it's too late.

It's not as good as 1, 2 or 4, but it's leagues ahead of 6, H20 and Resurrection. And light years ahead of Rob Zombies piles of shit. It at least feels like it's in the same universe as part 4.

I would like to see a Halloween spoof film that takes all the Halloween tropes from the series, but it takes place on Thanksgiving.

Well, hopefully this one makes up for the lackluster ending in 2018. They have the chops, they just need to execute.

closest thing we got to seeing it from the slasher's point of view was behind the mask: rise of leslie vernan. Documentary crew is following a "slasher" and interviewing him to see how he does it
Was funny, and I wish we'd get another
>Why don't they just break out the windows to escape?
>You'd think they would but, they never do

That is the problem though, is it possible to get past that mask? The mask is unironically half of the reason this series is good.

Saw that one. Not too bad. But not worth watching again.

imagine him pranking his nurses by hanging up the dead orderly on a ceiling fan and he's just spewing blood and bile all over the place while playing a little bass rift and laugh track

>I would like to see a Halloween spoof film that takes all the Halloween tropes from the series, but it takes place on Thanksgiving.
Maybe someday. until then, theres this

>is it possible to get past that mask
It's definitely not, especially the blonde hair pink mask which is always so noticeable every time you watch the movie. It's so bad. If Halloween 4 didn't have Danielle Harris it wouldn't be praised as much.

*heard

P.S. I tried to like Halloween 5 and 6-not going to happen, those movies just piss me off. 5 felt like child abuse against that girl and 6 was boring, pretentious, and nonsensical, and that's saying a lot about a series based on a young boy who suddenly turned into a murderer.

Here's my theory on what happened to Michael: he just was unlucky. During Halloween (it would be revealed) that sometimes the play-evil takes a toll and demands to be concentrated in a man. Same with my theory on Crystal Lake and Jason-the lake itself is fucked up, swim in it too much and it'll Jason you. On both theories the answer for why is "no one knows" which is the best answer for horror comfiness.

The only thing that sucks about 4 and 5 is that they shot them in fucking Salt Lake City, Utah. That town as almost no fucking trees. It doesn't feel like Haddonfield at all. Really ruins the vibe.

This is one of the best things Eli Roth ever did. Shame we still haven't gotten a full-length movie.

And the eyebrows always make it seem like he is surprised to see someone. It is laughable.

Its kinda amazing some of the scripts they've written but not used.
They even had one for after RZ's second movie. Got canned though. Cant remember what all was in it, but it sounded bad

>especially the blonde hair pink mask which is always so noticeable every time you watch the movie
4 doesn't have a blonde hair mask. Wtf are you talking about?

H20 is the second worst one, just in front of zombie's second one. Incidentally, both of those bottom tier shitshows had really good opening scenes.

Movie would’ve been a good sequel if Michael died at the end, but of course Hollywood just wants to squeeze as much money out of classic franchises as possible

>the blonde hair pink mask which is always so noticeable every time you watch the movie. It's so bad
That is only for like a split second in one scene. And the face isn't pink, that is just the lighting. Don't know how the hair got blonde, though. It's a mystery.

Some dickhead used the wrong mask and every single person on set is apparently the type of colorblind where you can't even discern between opposite ends of the spectrum.

Did William Shatner ever threaten legal action against John Carpenter?

He was probably flattered they used his likeness

The director stated in the DVD commentary that the real mask went missing and they had to just cobble something together really quickly from what they had in the prop department. I don't know why they couldn't rub some dirt in the hair or something to make it look darker. I've worked on film sets. A lot of people working on movies are fucking retarded. The only smart people are usually the creatives. Most actors and crew members are mongs.

Why would I be? Halloween is a weak series all things considered. The most recent film was so lifeless.

Good point and maybe part of the reason why I like that series better even though the first Halloween is arguably better than the first Friday the 13th but I’m just more into the camp and variety of Jason movies. The whole Halloween series aside from three is just one big blob of a movie, guy in white mask and mechanic’s jumper kills teens on Halloween, the end. Even when they tried to create some sort of back story people ravaged it, whereas Ft13th has various Jason’s and his mom, mutant baby Jason, robot Jason, zombie Jason, human Jason, Jason with Freddy, telekinetic bitches, more interesting kills, New York City, blah blah blah. Oh and I like Halloween enough but the new one was a bit overrated, Jamie Lee Curtis is annoying and there was no need to retcon the brother and sister thing.

Shatner was always cool with it. He even dressed as Michael Myers for Halloween a few times.

youtube.com/watch?v=sMrM1qOurRk

Dang, would not have guessed. Cool guy, hope he didn't murder his wife.

He also unironically browses Yea Forums. He’s /ourguy/

Woah, that's rad. Glad to hear he more than approves of the mask.

Sounds like they were tryin' to one-up Jason.

based, F13th movies may not be good but they know they aren't good and have fun with it. Halloween is always trying to be as scary as the original and it never will be yet always trys.

I want him to cameo in this movie. He said he’d be down for it.

Someone says they see Myers but it ends up being Shatner.

Friday the 13th 2,3 and 4 are such comfy movies. The whole series is enjoyable, minus Jason goes to hell and Jason x

This.

I enjoyed 2018 in the theater...but the home viewing left me a bit bored and I fast forwarded thorough the teenage stuff. The plot was just clunky and not re-watchable.

I also don't like the Michael actor. He's a bit too robotic and the mask never won me over...it looks like tree bark and isn't that scary.

I like the music and the ending was decent. The bathroom scene was kino. The girl power shit is a bit obnoxious and obvious. He should have killed the daughter at the least. But they basically just made myers a punching bag and tacked on the ending of Texas chainsaw massacre with the truck. It's obvious that the granddaughter will become the new Myers, because having a white male killer is problematic.

Meh. Slashers are exploitation flicks at the best of times...so they will wring all the money they can out of the franchise. It's just too mainstream to make it scary like horror films used to be in the very early 80s.

It could have been worse.

>I also don't like the Michael actor.
But it's the original guy. Maybe his old age was too much though.

The original guy did a cameo...he has a massive gut. He was in like one far off scene. The new actor is this older guy who is a bit taller. I saw one of his interviews and he sounds like a dumb hippie.

Oh.

Jason X is hard to watch but I like them all a little and even with Jason X, probably the worst one, I had a blast watching it with a large crowd of my friends the night it came out. Good moviegoing experience, also hadent got to see a Jason movie before that in theaters due to my age. But uh yea it has moments but definitely looks like a Syfy original movie

I fucking despised the 2018 movie. that movie filled with like 20 dumb decision from the writers and director.

>Have Jamie lee Curtis come back but let's make her prepared and actively hunting down Michael, removing all tensions in the film.

>Make Wannabe Loomis be crazy because "What a twist" but then subvert everyone expectations a 2nd time by having him get killed instantly. What was the point? No one knows.

>Let's have a stereotypical black kid making jokes when the movie is supposed to be horror.

>Let's make Laurie's family either unlikable or forgettable.

>Laurie's grand-daughter has to lose her phone so let's just have her boyfriend toss it into pudding. Remember when we didn't have to write total bullshit when cellphones didn't exist?

>Let's have a barely recognizable version of the best song of the franchise. (Lauries theme)

>The only semi-interesting characters are killed in the beginning. What the fuck was the point of the journalists?

>Goofy flash back of her daughter learning to shoot at a young age.

>Retarded trapped house.

The only good thing about the movie is the mask and the music but even then they failed to use Laurie's original theme. Honestly, Laurie should have never been brought back. It didn't work in H20, it doesn't work here.

Good post.
>It's obvious that the granddaughter will become the new Myers
This was exactly the original ending to the 2018 Halloween but it tested so poorly with audiences they literally reshot it. Halloween Kills is the sequel, and Halloween Ends concludes the trilogy in 2022, so I think the grand daughter option is scrapped for Michael, although clearly she'll reveal a sadistic arc in battling him.

The only thing I'm curious about with the sequels, after that passable yet incredibly safe no-replay-value 2018 effort, I'd whether Michael is now a full-on supernatural Halloween boogeyman. I want each sequel to further build his legend as a sinister entity, evil personified, and not try to play him as mortal now, or a traditional stab-stab-kick-shoot Shape body. Supernatural Myers is terrifying. They must explore that direction or it will be unsatisfying across two more movies with Curtis.

>minus Jason goes to hell and Jason
Unironically while being two of the worst movies in the franchise, Jason Goes to Hell actually has one of my favorite kills ever in it.
youtube.com/watch?v=QXHyqLov6-k

Because the remake spends considerable time compared to the original movie in explaining and depicting Michael's childhood and obsession with masks and his time in the insane asylum before his escape. In Carpenter's Halloween he's simply the shape, you see him murder his sister, and then he escapes as an adult. All you get beyond that is some small tidbits, but that's essentially all there is to it. Michael is largely kept as a mystery, as someone who could be anyone, hiding in the shadows, and that's what makes him scary, because so little is ever actually revealed and explained about him. You fear the unknown.

Where as Rob Zombie bends over backwards in showing that even as a child Michael was an evil little shit, his family was terrible, etc. and then you've got Loomis giving extensive commentary on Michael. It's all completely unnecessary and the information just removes all the mystery around him and ruins the spookyness of Michael because he's just made into being a normal psychopath with a weird mask fetish. You know too much about him under Zombie's direction and he's less scary as he just becomes a generic movie killer.

I thought the origins and backstory approach was a great idea, but the problem was that it was executed and done poorly. Turning Michael into "metal/goth kid" who was bullied and came from a broken white trash home seemed way too cliche to me.

F13 is a funny franchise in that it's a rip off movie that kept trying to rip off trends from other movies with each passing sequel until it ultimately became essentially a parody of itself.

That's not really accurate. F13th wasn't a "ripoff franchise" as no series had done a summer camp setting, or a killer, serial serial-killer mythology the same way. F13th gets shitted on by zoomers, but the awesome cinematography, settings, ambience and suspense of 1-6 are woefully neglected. Steve Miner did a great job on the early films, beyond workmanlike, there's artistry there, yes it's not high art, but it's not exploitation either. The films have heart, and were made with care, they don't have the subversive condescending agenda of many Blumhouse rushed productions. You can't argue that Friday 1-4 don't have more soul and authenticity and beauty to them than Blumhouse's Halloween 2018, which thankfully toned down Jason Blum's racial, partisan politics.

Few franchises if any are as rewatachable as F13th. If the formula was so easy and pedestrian, think about how many popular slasher franchises would have 5+ entries watched four decades later. Not many exist.

>Few franchises if any are as rewatachable as F13th

I wouldn't really call F13 a particularly rewatchable franchise but I've never been a fan in the first place.

>5 felt like child abuse against that girl

Watching Dr. Loomis devolve into an obsessive psycho himself was actually more menacing than any of Michael's kills in that film.

"Jamie, you listen. Today in the cemetery, somebody dug up a coffin. It was the coffin of a 9 year old girl. What do you think he is going to do with that?! Huh? Your 9 years old, are you Jamie?"

"You want her? Here she is! Your little girl! Come and get her! Come and get your little girl! Michael, let's play a game. Catch the little girl. Catch. Michael, get the little girl!"

It's rewatchability is legendary. For instance, look at AMC Fear Fest, or how many people have F13 marathons on Halloween.

He was locked in the basement of a burning building. I guarantee that the next one will open with the ceiling collapsing, and him climbing out.

H2 is good for Danielle Harris writhing on the floor naked covered in blood.

Imagine watching that immediately after watching Halloween 4. Awkward.

The first 4
