[StarLord]

YouTube is your friend Lol.

'Still Screaming' was such an interesting documentary.

Cool to hear about some stuff like the Scream 2 script leaking online and Stu being written in to come back in Scream 3 for which Matthew Lillard was even paid for but never filmed a scene.

was Stu going to take Timothy Olyphant's place?

Olyphant was one of the killers in Scream 2.

This was for Scream 3, so Stu would have been the killer instead of Roman who was Sidney's half-brother.

I'm watching Mama right now. I had recorded it last week when it came on HBO the first time and forgot it was on my dvr. Halfway through and so far it's... not good.

Jessica Chastain is really hot in it, though.

yeah, you're right. i couldn't get Scream 2 out of my head for some reason. maybe it's because i hated the 3rd movie. :shrugs:

When Ben Tramer got hit by that car wearing a very similar costume and mask to Michael, so when they had "thought" Michael had been killed Loomis and the deputy checked the dental records with the dentist and realized it was Ben Tramer which was a 17 year old high school kid.

Michael Myers wasn't mistaken for a trick-or-treater. Ben Tramer was mistaken for Michael Myers. And he wasn't out trick-or-treating. He was staggering home drunk after a Halloween party. It just happened to be on Halloween night, so there were still plenty of trick-or-treaters out at the time. There's a big difference there. Also, most 17 year Olds are pretty much fully grown. They might sprout a few inches between 17 and 21, but for the most part they're done growing. Besides, I've met teens much younger than 17 that are as tall as me, if not taller (I stand 6'0"). When working as a body piercer, I once pierced the bellybutton of a 13 year old girl who stood 6'3". So confusing Michael Myers with a 17 year old boy wearing a nearly identical mask makes perfect sense.

I was listening to a podcast today and they had abit of a go at how Michael ends up at the hospital, saying it was coincidence that Michael finds Laurie and that how did he even know that woman was a nurse whose car he'd hid on. I was dying to jump on and be like no he finds her cause he hears it on the radio that guy and he knows she's a nurse cause he hears her talking about been a nurse and been late for work.

Also, he didn't hide in her car. He walked there, he just got there at the same time as the nurse (she had to drive her friend home first, then drive to the hospital, while Michael was just walking straight there). That's why we see him in her read view mirror.

 

[Thundarr]

You know, even with Halloween being my favorite, series, how did Michael find out about Laurie? I mean we have to assume she was born and off screen in the original film, and really with the original there was technically not supposed to be the family connection, but how did he track her down? I've always assumed he maybe got into the files when all the mental patients were let out before stealing Loomis. car, but it never really says.

Well the chronology doesn't really make much sense, because if she was born after Michael was locked up she'd be about 13 or 14 years old, because Michael was locked up for 15 years. Yet she was 17 when he came after her in '78. And if she was already born and 2 years old in '63, then why didn't he kill Laurie then instead of waiting until she was 17?

In Part 2, Laurie was brought to visit Michael when she was about 10 years old in a flashback, so he likely learned about her then. He then recognized her when he returned home in Part 1. At least that's my understanding of it.

Just started my Friday The 13th movie marathon tonight. I've already watched the 1980 original, now I'm watching Part 2. Crazy Ralph just got garotted with a length of barbed wire, and Muffin just got eaten.

You know I didn't think he did but I wasn't sure so I kind of just accepted that he did when they said it. The sad thing is I only watched it about a week ago but my memory's like a fish lol. Thanks for clearing that up

You are correct but I was clearing up the fact that trick or treater or not they mistook Ben Tramer for Michael or vice versa, I guess the beer could be mistaken for a trick or treat bag pretty easily as you can see.

It doesn't get better in the second half, lets put it that way.

About to watch the 'Still Screaming' documentary then onto the 'Scream' quadrilogy.

I might buy the Scream set just for that. I think it's ten dollars at Target. Stu returning would of been campy as hell ,but I would of enjoyed it.

 

[DaRkVeNgeanCe]

I finally started watching the Still Screaming doc myself, it's up in pretty good quality in it's entirety on youtube.

 

[StarLord]

It's a good documentary but I just wonder why Courteney Cox and Skeet Ulrich are never part of them.

It would be cool to see them all together sometime. Maybe for a new special edition documentary. After all, the first movie will be 20 years old in 2016.

Yes. I found that out the hard way.

I see Skeet as hanging out in the washed up has beens Hollywood bar while Courtney's too busy being a cougar somewhere now even moreso that she's ditched good ol' deputy Dewey boy.t:

When I read your post, it looked like you thought Sheriff Bracket & Dr. Loomis mistook Michael for a trick or treater, or vice versa. I believe in your post you asked "How small do they think Michael Myers is if they confuse him with a trick or treater?" which indicated to me you thought they mistook a little kid for Michael.
