Horror The Halloween Film Series Thread... - Part 4

[Lily Adler]

Loomis surviving is more of a head scratcher than Michael. Michael at least has that supernatural knack for surviving extreme injuries.

I forgot he survived in H20, too. Like how?

In Halloween Resurrection its revealed that he switched places with an EMT right before Laurie chopped his head off.

No, I was talking about Dr. Loomis.

No, I was talking about Dr. Loomis.

He didn't survive. He's dead at the start of the movie, even though they call back to him by having voice over/narration from him (voiced by Tom Kane, because Donald Pleasence died in 1995), but that is an old recording of Loomis that is playing over the credits.

No, they talk about how that nurse took care of him and he had passed recently in H20 hinting he survived the explosion.

Now I wanna see the Halloween movie with burned Loomis stuck at home in bed just ranting at this poor nurse about Michael Myers for 20 years.

So just 90ish minutes of this?

Nurse Chambers came back to die at the hands of Michael in both H20 and Halloween Kills. Does anyone else have the "I got killed by Michael Myers twice" on their resume? What a legend.

Michael McDonald does, he was killed by Mike Meyers as Austin Powers and by Michael Meyers in Halloween Kills

 

[Enriquespy]

The best part of Zombie's Halloween 2 is the little prologue in the hospital that is like a mini version of the original Halloween 2 plot. That bit actually feels like a halloween movie.

 

[DyeLorean]

“The original ending of Halloween Ends, originally entitled Halloween Dies, was a scene in a mask factory. You see a conveyor belt of masks being manufactured. They’re Michael Myers masks, which was saying, ‘We’re all monsters if we put on the mask. It’s not just Michael. It’s all of us, if we wear the mask.’ And yet somehow, it didn’t satiate. I think it was too intellectual for this finale. It was a big swing, and I honor and support the big swing. There was also an ending in which we explored and filmed a sort of transference between Laurie and Michael. In the final killing of Michael, Laurie almost became him. In this second of glory – taking the life of Michael Myers – she became Michael Myers. She has to go away at that point. She has to revert back to the Laurie we met in the first film. She has to isolate herself for the rest of her life because she now has a piece of Michael in her. [But] it was too dark and too profound to satisfy the hunger of this 40-year journey. And we changed it to this procession, where the town of Haddonfield quietly bears witness to the end of Michael. Then Laurie goes back to her house for the final scenes.”

There goes JLC again. Appreciate everything she's done, does, and continues to do for the franchise, but I'm just over her at this point.

Idgaf I love Halloween Kills.

 

[Sawyer]

The only edge I will give Kills is the flashbacks to 1978, which were incredible between the cinematography and the Loomis makeup.

Everything else… ehhhhhh.

 

[Broseph44]

Idgaf I love Halloween Kills.

I am right there with you dude. I also dgaf cause I love Ends as well.

 

[Drizzle]

I wouldn't consider myself much of a fan of either Kills or Ends as much as I am of H18 but they're still my preferred timeline choice in the franchise. Not necessarily by default either because there are aspects of both Kills and Ends that I enjoy.

Thorn Trilogy supremacists exist on the internet. Because every fandom has their weirdos.

 

[Spider-Fan]

At this point, my preferred timeline is Halloween and Halloween 3. But if I have to choose between other timeliness that actually form a continuity, I would go with Halloween-Halloween II-Halloween H2O and ignore Resurrections. The Thorne Trilogy is silly and terrible and I hate Kills and Ends. But I do like H2O.

 

[AndrewGilkison]

Anyone read the Dennis Etchison script for Halloween 4?

Had Tommy Doyle and Lindsay Wallis as teens, and The Shape as a ghost like figure (who gets bigger as he was shot by cops, ala Ang Lee's Hulk). This is how John Carpenter was going to bring Michael back after Halloween III bombed.

 

[Broseph44]

I really have no preferred timeline. I enjoy them all for different reasons. Just depends on my mood.

 

[DyeLorean]

Halloween / Halloween II / H20 for me.
It's the closest thing to an actual trilogy. I'm not a big fan of the middle chunk of films and even though I enjoy parts of the latest trilogy, Laurie is the least interesting character.
