Between the karate stance and the trying to convince yourself that everything is okay and the bloodcurdling screams, i think this is my favorite reaction to this movie lol
For so many people Jamie Lee Curtis was synonymous with "Halloween". But for me, it was Donald Pleasance. The franchise was never the same after his passing.
John Carpenter is an absolute genius director.The master of the jump scare.Halloween is such a great film and still holds up today.Apparently the criticism he got for The Thing in 1982 hurt him badly.YET that was a brilliant film.I couldn’t care less what the film critics say,it’s about what you the viewer thinks,not what someone else says.😉I love Kat,but she’d be hard work in the cinema on a night out.She doesn’t stop talking!!!😹
@DerekHarrison-ue9vv especially hurtful since the original film was one of his biggest inspirations, but now it's seen as a cult classic so ended up well in the end
There is one question John Carpenter tried to answer with this movie. "What happens when you encounter someone who kills for no reason at all?" The sequels tried to add reasons for Michael's killing instinct, but it's just more scary when you think there is something out there in the darkness waiting to kill you while you take out the trash.
Hell, John didn't even want to work on the sequel. So he'd drink a lot just to get through writing the script. What always makes Michael scary to me, aside from his abilities and appearance, is that he'll target ANYONE. He targeted Laurie only because she was on his stoop that day. Had anyone else gone up to his house, Michael would've gone after them. Laurie was just at the wrong place at the wrong time. Evil can strike at anyone at any time.
According to mainstream science, roughly one percent of the human population are *born* psychopaths. One percent of a hundred million is one million people. That's a lot.
@@fynnthefox9078Exactly. If it was just some dude looking for his sister most of us'd be safe. But since him going after Laurie and her friends is completely random we could all be in trouble, that's the power of the orginal. People were seeing white faces in the dark for weeks in '78. I know I did. 😅
There are psychos out there who kill for no reason at all. Remember that Bustamante girl? Killed a little 8 year old neighbor girl for no reason at all, or "just to see what it felt like."
Standard! She's utterly hilarious,charming,smart, passionate and somehow on top of all that genuinely beautiful ... ( Plus extremely generous, she paid me a smidgen more than I requested for this comment).
My mom took me to see Jaws when I was 7. She watched Halloween with me when I was 10. She'd get more scared than me. She passed away in 2009 and I'm still watching horror movies. Thank you mom!
Ive never seen someone react to a horror movie in a way as fun as this. I totally want to go to a theater with her and watch something scary. She's crazy funny!!!!
My best friend Leo reacts similarly. He loves horror movies and have watched them his whole life but it’s so fun to still watch him scream and hide and even jump up to his feet sometimes. I don’t get scared like that but those are my favorite people to watch these movies with
Message to Kat here. You would love a movie called Seconds by John Frankenheimer. Made in 1966, it's about Don Draper types being offered a second chance at life. You will love it.
Well put… the killer does admire his stick-to-the-wall victim like art in a museum. And that scene itself, with the tilting of his head like that, is some of the finest art of the entire horror movie museum. The camera work, score, ability to grind the viewer down with tension, etc make this film unmatched in many ways.
Yeah the sequels suck compared to the original. Carpenter invented so many tropes in this film and then it just got hammy after they were repeated over and over.
This was my FAVORITE horror movie EVER!.. my mom took me to see this at the theaters when it was released.. (I was only 7 at the time)... my mom would always take all 6 of us to the drive-in/theater to see all the new scary movies back in the 70s . Thank you Mom.. you were the best mother EVER!.. she passed away this year at age 91... we miss you 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
@@danielallen496 actually it wasn’t… the 80s was a better time for movies than the 70s were. In the 80s, there was a hit classic movie every single year that decade
ahh the good ole days. We had local drive in that would play mixture of movies. My father would take us in our old el camino only if they were playing a martial arts movie. He would drink his beer while we were being scared watching these movies.
The Thing (1982) is my favorite horror film. I love how the kids are watching the 1951 version in this film, and the director would go on to make his own. Definitely was on his mind. I read the source novella, Who Goes There? (1938), and understand why he wanted to tackle it. The "thing" in the story could never be achieved in 1951, so they changed it. In 1982, thanks to 22 year old Rob Bottin as special makeup effects artist, it was achievable. His effects still hold up. Looking forward to your reaction to that.
The movie that they were watching in the movie wasn’t the John Carpenter movie… it was the original “Thing” from 195I called “the Thing from Another World”
True story: Farrah Fawcett was approached by her agent to star in Saturn 3, a horror movie with Kirk Douglas and Harvey Keitel. She said to her agent, "I don't do horror." Her agent said, "Take the script home, read it over the weekend and call me on Monday." That Friday evening, Farrah went with her friend Jaime Lee Curtis to go see her star in her new movie, "Halloween." Monday, Farrah called her agent and said, "I'll do it." I love your tongue in cheek question, "There aren't any more Halloween movies, are there?" Only like a dozen more, lol... Originally, Carpenter wanted it to be an anthology series, and it might have been sucessful if he hadn't made Halloween II a sequel and waited until Halloween III to release an unrelated story. After the third movie bombed, every Halloween movie made since has been about Michael Myers. The movie seen in the house is the Thing From Another World, which Carpenter would remake 3 years later as The Thing, which is my favorite horror movie. Both movies were based from the 1938 novella "Who Goes There?" The other movie shown on the television in the house is "Forbidden Planet" which is my favorite movie of all time, but really isn't horror. (Still, it kinda could be considered horror since there is a monster and people get killed and I whole-heartedly recommend that you watch it on your channel) Yet, I don't think anyone could ever remake it or give it a sequel up to snuff. Michael Myers' mask is one of William Shatner, painted white with the eyeholes widened. When he tacks the boyfriend up on the wall, Michael tilts his head in homage to "The Devil's Rain" where Shatner's character, with blackened eyes, tilts his head in the exact way. For its time, this movie was a masterpiece and scary as hell. I think you would be a great final girl, because it seems that your horror-movie mantra is always, "Finish The Job!" Best to you, Kat! ♡
Yeah Halloween II picks up right where this one ended. Part III has nothing to do with Michael and fans are split, either love it or hate it. I really like it just for how bonkers it is.
I just watched the making of documentary on UA-cam. It's a good one. They really made this on a shoestring and it blew up because of Carpenter's great instincts and music. I still think JLC is probably the weakest link, but I can't imagine anyone else doing the role.
I love your genuinely anxiety-ridden responses coupled with humorously snarky observations. For some trivial background, this classic movie was was a largely filmed in South Pasadena, CA. During my teenage years, I lived and went to high school here. The Michael Myers house (the one at the beginning of the film) was abandoned at the time and my friends and I would sneak in and get high. It was trippy. The city named it a historical landmark. It was eventually sold, renovated and moved down the street.
I’m a new subscriber… really funny reaction videos. The side smirk, the “nah,” the pleading “please!” and the blank stares at the camera are my favorites 😂
Funny thing - the mask was a William Shatner (Capt Kirk - Star Trek) Halloween mask. Ha ha! "The Thing" movie shown in the TV was the original film that Carpenter adapted later on. Love that callback
I love kat to bits she is brilliant, kat knows how to bring a movie to life, her facial expressions when she is scared or happy make me smile and I love when she throws her hands around, and when she makes a fist you know she wants to punch some monster in the throat, love it.
My dad took me to see this back in 1978 when I was 10!! (what the hell was he thinking?) It terrorfied the hell out of me, especially the ending. I distinctly remembering asking my dad "Didn't the man shoot him? Where is he?" And my dad simply saying "No one knows. He's still out there." I totally believed him. Michael is still out there! Fortunately, the movie didn't open in the my area until early November, about a week AFTER Halloween. Otherwise I don't think I would have gone trick or treating that year.
Okay, I just stumbled on this, and this girl is the biggest scaredy-cat I've seen....love it! I saw this movie when it came out and the theater was packed with people like her. One of the best and most fun times I ever had at a movie.
The Halloween theme is iconic. “Like free range chickens!” I never thought of them like that. 😂 Kat, you remind me of my kid sister. Nothing more fun than sitting next to her during a scary movie and poking her at the jump scares. Heh heh heh! You gotta see “The Strangers.” “The Thing From Another World” and “Forbidden Planet” are both excellent choices if you decide to do some retro horror reactions FYI: there are 13 Halloween movies. The last one dropped in 2022.
“That is the worst image I’ve ever seen, the most horrifying.” Yes! I think this is the scariest scene in horror history. The fact that after killing Bob, he would actually get a sheet, cut eye holes out AND wear his glasses…open the door slowly and just stand there. He knows she’s trapped, the audience knows she’s trapped, but she doesn’t know she’s trapped. I saw Halloween when I was 10 and for a full month I was scared to crap that in the middle of the night my bedroom door would slowly creak open and he’d be standing there. Did I say month? I meant year. Love ya Kat, keep your genuine reactions coming!
8:01 Jamie Lee Curtis was only 19 years old in this movie. It was released in October of 78 and she turned 20 in November. As Kat said earlier, this is her screen debut!
Bees are really cute and they definitely have a bad rap. Unlike wasps and yellowjackets and so forth, bees generally just mind their own business and leave people alone so they can collect pollen. They're massively important for agriculture too. I wish more people paid attention to things like the depleting bee population.
I am so enjoying your responses to these films, your sense of humor and genuine screams are a hoot and makes it feel like sitting with a friend and enjoying them freaking out watching for the first time. I can't wait until you see some of my favorites! Happy Halloween!
6:58 love it. You're just exciting and a joy to watch, Kat. Not making light of your fright and stress of course, but really enjoy the commentary and watch along. 👍🏼
I look forward to your reactions like most people do regular TV programs! If you are NOT a stand up comedian…you should be! This was terrific! Thanks again and again!
Spot on Kat! You're so right about the sheet w/ the glasses!😮😂 I remember seeing this as a kid in the eighties on Halloween night and being WAY more freaked out seeing him in that sheet than in the mask! It's those pinholes in the sheet for his eyes, plus the glasses and him just motionless. Like there's a soulless void beneath the sheet😮😮 He truly looks like the Boogeyman in that moment.
Kat - your reactions are classically entertaining! Can you imagine a whole film theatre full of patrons when this came out. I remember! The film theatres were nice back then, reasonable economically, and most importantIng, the people were Normal and attentive.
I love how she said "this man is playing with his food". In the game Dead by Daylight, you can play as Michael Myers and one of his abilities is called "play with your food"
People forget what an impact the music had, when Halloween first came out. It was SO SCARY!!! People had never experienced anything like it. Synthesizer music really came of age in the 80s, of course, but the first experiments with it in the 70s were absolutely mind-blowing to people. And John Carpenter was at the forefront of it all.
Just found your channel and I loved your reaction! Always great to see people genuinely scared by this film. You should definitely go with Halloween 2 and see what you think of it.
The part where he just slowly raises up and turns his head to face her is such a great shot. He has a hole in his neck and in his chest and he sits up with no effort at all, facing forward until he's at a full 90 degree angle. Only then does he turn to look at her. It's just so inhuman. Oh, we've seen that sort of thing hundreds of times by now, but back then?
YES!! You watched my favorite horror movie of all time!! I just discovered you earlier today with your "Misery" video, and I was immediately hooked and subscribed right away! You are so much fun and so engaging, and your jump scare preparatory martial arts moves are the best!! 😊 I love this movie for so many reasons: the simple plot, the fantastic acting, the incredible music....and the tension!! I greatly prefer horror movies that don't splatter blood all over the screen, choosing instead to let our imaginations fill in the blanks. As you discovered, this is SO suspenseful!! I don't know if you've watched any sequels, but here's my opinion: * Halloween II. Picks up right where this one ends, on the same night. Worth watching. * Halloween H20. The absolute best of the sequels. It's a continuation from the first two, and brings back Jamie Lee Curtis and some newer stars. Recaptures the same magic and suspense of the original. The rest of the sequels are hit and miss (mostly miss), but please do yourself a favor and DO NOT watch "Resurrection." It's an affront and insult to people with functioning brain cells. Have fun Kat! I'll be checking out plenty of your other videos! 😁
This movie is my favourite horror movie. Glad you enjoyed it! (Also lol they didn't "allow" the inmates/patients to wander around, as you can tell by the nurse and Dr. Loomis' confusion. When Michael Myers escaped he left the door open and the other patients/inmates got out.)
Free range chicken, great humor 😂 I would like to see you sit through some of my favorites... When a Stranger calls (2006 remake) The Collector Slither
John Carpenter’s Halloween is an absolute classic and one of my personal favorites. It established many of the tropes that you’ve probably noticed recurring in many of the horror movies you’ve watched so far. I’d love to see you watch Halloween II, which picks up right where the original left off.
This movie spawned an entire industry of copy-cat movies. One of the most innovative film-making techniques that John employed here, was that if you watch from the beginning, all the scenes are wide shot. As the film moves closer to the end, the camera gets closer and closer and closer until it's practically claustrophobic.
Your reactions are so entertaining this was the best one yet. Still my favourite Halloween movie by my favourite horror director. Props to you for doing this. I hope if I’m ever stalked by a masked killer you’re around as you’re sure to lighten the mood 😂 Can’t wait for The Thing!
Jamie Lee Curtis’s mother is the woman who starred in the beginning of the movie Psycho. As much as I’ve seen both of these movies I only found that out within the last year. lol blew my mind.
There are 3 scenes that are apparently only in the TV version. Two are about six months after Michael kills his sister. Loomis is pleading with two other doctors, his superiors, to move Michael to maximum security and how dangerous he is. They dismiss his fears. Then Loomis walks down the hall to Michael's room. Michael is sitting by a window just staring out. Loomis tells him he's not fooled. The third scene is the morning after he escapes where the nurses explain that Michael got out and opened all the other doors. That's how all the other patients got outside. I've always felt these are very important scenes and should always be included.
Only if you care about the twist in 2. The TV version was specifically made while Halloween 2 was being filmed, so Carpenter had those scenes added for continuity and length. They're pointless unless you care about the twist in 2, though; we don't need an additional scene of Michael's childhood because Loomis' monologue on Michael is incredible, and we don't need an explanation as to how the other patients were released - we know it's Michael, same as we know how Michael picked up the basics of driving a car.
"This killer is playing with his food" - Funny you should say that. Michael Myers is a playable character in the game Dead By Daylight, and one of his perks is actually called Play With Your Food.
People always be getting pissed at Laurie after she attacks Michael each time. She doesn't know he's unkillable. If only she had gotten to hear Loomis' speech. Plus, this is the movie that started that trope.
I’ve always loved this movie and even as a classic from the 70’s it holds up remarkably well. additionally this is an extremely suspenseful and stressful movie. Not a high body count and not gory but it makes up for that in the suspenseful anticipation you feel through the whole movie. No other Halloween movie has been able to recapture this feel.
If you said your next film is "the Thing", this film is Care Bears and Unicorns compared to what you'll be seeing next. I wish you well. This reaction was fantastic in that you dressed up as a bee and you made it through the film without screaming many times. In fact, of the horror films you've seen so far, you've faired the best in this one. The Thing will probably adversely affect you.
It's like free-range chickens, but in a bad way! I feel like that's a you problem. Don't give up on your instincts! Please, don't give up on your urp! Your reactions are a treasure. That thing in the corner behind you? That's the real horror of these videos!❤❤😂
To give you an indication of how this movie landed in 1978, I had a coworker who was a Hells Angel before cleaning up his act. He and a gang buddy walked to a neighborhood theater (back when those existed) and saw this movie one night. It so freaked them out that when it came time to walk back home, they drew their pistols and walked back in the middle of the street, each guy watching one side of the road and prepared to shoot anyone who popped out unexpectedly.
This is my fave horror movie and carpenter is my fave director. The feeling he provides with sound design/ score alone is perfect. The tension and suspense is perfect. Michael is also my fave horror icon. This was a fun reaction.
This was a fabulous reaction Kat ☺️ and as much as l love the Exorcist, this movie is my favourite for this time of year. That quote you made when they roll up to the mental hospital and all the patients are wondering about in the rain “they are like free range chickens, but not in a good way” was just hilarious 😂 Great pacing in this movie and it’s the constant stalking and POV from Michael that just increases that sense of fear. Very much looking forward to The Thing on the next upload and l wonder if you would think about getting a heart rate monitor on screen for future reactions? 🤔 This channel just keeps getting better ☺️👌🏼
"They sure do get a lot of phone calls in this movie," lol. In those days, no text, no internet, only wall phones. Often teenagers would be on the phone all night to their friends.
I remember seeing this in a big theater in West Los Angles back when theaters had great butter popcorn and not that oily crap they feed us today. Anyway, I digress. Normally, I'm not a fan of noisy people in theaters but for this movie it just worked! It was so much fun to watch it with a bunch of people screaming like you did in your reaction to each time Michale would show up in the background. And the audience would laugh or moan every time the one actor would say "totally" and then when she died someone in the crowd yelled out "She's totally dead!" and everyone one laughed and clapped. It was a great time and place to watch this movie.
Bro Kat is so goofy with her 1 liners. "He's a Magic man" "Hes super dead extremely dead... unless hes wearing a bullet proof Vest and he'll be fine" hahaha
The Movie the Kids are watching (The Thing) is the ORIGINAL Movie From 1951, Based on a Novel written in 1938. John Carpenter made HIS Version in 1982, 4 years after making Halloween.
I have to say this, I love your content, YOU would make the perfect scream queen and would be killer in any horror movie, as the bad ass who lives. Scream queens have their own super powers heheh, thanks for being on this earth, you make my nights better
When John Carpenter can make you scream from a bedroom light being turned off, you know he's a horror legend.
Between the karate stance and the trying to convince yourself that everything is okay and the bloodcurdling screams, i think this is my favorite reaction to this movie lol
You know that sh1t is about to get real when Kat goes into her martial arts defense stance 😁

Okay, I just stumbled on this, and this girl is the biggest scaredy-cat I've seen....love it!
I saw this movie when it came out and the theater was packed with people like her.
One of the best and most fun times I ever had at a movie.
The Halloween theme is iconic.
“Like free range chickens!” I never thought of them like that. 😂
Kat, you remind me of my kid sister. Nothing more fun than sitting next to her during a scary movie and poking her at the jump scares. Heh heh heh!
You gotta see “The Strangers.”
“The Thing From Another World” and “Forbidden Planet” are both excellent choices if you decide to do some retro horror reactions
FYI: there are 13 Halloween movies. The last one dropped in 2022.
“That is the worst image I’ve ever seen, the most horrifying.”
Yes! I think this is the scariest scene in horror history. The fact that after killing Bob, he would actually get a sheet, cut eye holes out AND wear his glasses…open the door slowly and just stand there. He knows she’s trapped, the audience knows she’s trapped, but she doesn’t know she’s trapped. I saw Halloween when I was 10 and for a full month I was scared to crap that in the middle of the night my bedroom door would slowly creak open and he’d be standing there. Did I say month? I meant year. Love ya Kat, keep your genuine reactions coming!
8:01 Jamie Lee Curtis was only 19 years old in this movie. It was released in October of 78 and she turned 20 in November. As Kat said earlier, this is her screen debut!
Bees are really cute and they definitely have a bad rap. Unlike wasps and yellowjackets and so forth, bees generally just mind their own business and leave people alone so they can collect pollen. They're massively important for agriculture too. I wish more people paid attention to things like the depleting bee population.
I am so enjoying your responses to these films, your sense of humor and genuine screams are a hoot and makes it feel like sitting with a friend and enjoying them freaking out watching for the first time. I can't wait until you see some of my favorites! Happy Halloween!
Genuine?
@@bobdroll6381She is an actress. Genuine as can be from someone who can cry on demand.
6:58 love it.
You're just exciting and a joy to watch, Kat. Not making light of your fright and stress of course, but really enjoy the commentary and watch along. 👍🏼
I look forward to your reactions like most people do regular TV programs! If you are NOT a stand up comedian…you should be! This was terrific! Thanks again and again!
Spot on Kat! You're so right about the sheet w/ the glasses!😮😂 I remember seeing this as a kid in the eighties on Halloween night and being WAY more freaked out seeing him in that sheet than in the mask! It's those pinholes in the sheet for his eyes, plus the glasses and him just motionless. Like there's a soulless void beneath the sheet😮😮 He truly looks like the Boogeyman in that moment.
I live for your screams. The highlight of my day.
Kat - your reactions are classically entertaining! Can you imagine a whole film theatre full of patrons when this came out. I remember! The film theatres were nice back then, reasonable economically, and most importantIng, the people were Normal and attentive.
“From the gut!”
And now we know what the Heart song “Magic Man” is all about…

Halloween is a masterpiece of cinema, not just horror, but cinema in its entirety.
I love how she said "this man is playing with his food". In the game Dead by Daylight, you can play as Michael Myers and one of his abilities is called "play with your food"
Priceless Kat one-liner #833: "It's like free-range chickens...but in a bad way."
Having just found your channel recently, I sincerely hope that we get to see your reactions year-round and not just during Halloween season. ❤️
People forget what an impact the music had, when Halloween first came out. It was SO SCARY!!! People had never experienced anything like it. Synthesizer music really came of age in the 80s, of course, but the first experiments with it in the 70s were absolutely mind-blowing to people. And John Carpenter was at the forefront of it all.
Just found your channel and I loved your reaction! Always great to see people genuinely scared by this film. You should definitely go with Halloween 2 and see what you think of it.
The part where he just slowly raises up and turns his head to face her is such a great shot. He has a hole in his neck and in his chest and he sits up with no effort at all, facing forward until he's at a full 90 degree angle. Only then does he turn to look at her. It's just so inhuman. Oh, we've seen that sort of thing hundreds of times by now, but back then?
I just recently found your channel and I'm loving it. I got to the end and I am still laughing over free-range chickens!
😂, thank you
YES!! You watched my favorite horror movie of all time!! I just discovered you earlier today with your "Misery" video, and I was immediately hooked and subscribed right away! You are so much fun and so engaging, and your jump scare preparatory martial arts moves are the best!! 😊
I love this movie for so many reasons: the simple plot, the fantastic acting, the incredible music....and the tension!! I greatly prefer horror movies that don't splatter blood all over the screen, choosing instead to let our imaginations fill in the blanks. As you discovered, this is SO suspenseful!!
I don't know if you've watched any sequels, but here's my opinion:
* Halloween II. Picks up right where this one ends, on the same night. Worth watching.
* Halloween H20. The absolute best of the sequels. It's a continuation from the first two, and brings back Jamie Lee Curtis and some newer stars. Recaptures the same magic and suspense of the original.
The rest of the sequels are hit and miss (mostly miss), but please do yourself a favor and DO NOT watch "Resurrection." It's an affront and insult to people with functioning brain cells.
Have fun Kat! I'll be checking out plenty of your other videos! 😁
This movie is my favourite horror movie. Glad you enjoyed it! (Also lol they didn't "allow" the inmates/patients to wander around, as you can tell by the nurse and Dr. Loomis' confusion. When Michael Myers escaped he left the door open and the other patients/inmates got out.)
Free range chicken, great humor 😂
I would like to see you sit through some of my favorites...
When a Stranger calls (2006 remake)
The Collector
Slither
I laughed uncontrollably every time she screamed. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Great reaction Kat I love the arm movements and the Bee costume glad you enjoyed this classic.
I await to see more of your reactions. Seriously I take a lot of joy out of seeing your screaming 😂 You haven't forgot your instincts that's for sure.
This was so fun to watch, but I just wanted to give you a pillow to hold onto during all the scary/tense moments!
I love the karate pose every time she thinks there’s gonna be a jump scare lol
“It’s like free range chickens…but in a bad way.” Lol
PLEASE!!! Never have I found manners more entertaining to watch.
Your reaction at 22:25 had me dying. Your dual knife strategy is sound though. I cannot deny that...
John Carpenter’s Halloween is an absolute classic and one of my personal favorites. It established many of the tropes that you’ve probably noticed recurring in many of the horror movies you’ve watched so far. I’d love to see you watch Halloween II, which picks up right where the original left off.
The bees are dying!!! Pay very close attention to this more than anything!!!
Kat, youre the best!! So much fun too watch!!!
Kat's reactions are scaring me more than the movie! And I love it! =;-D
SAVE THE BEES!!!! Great video!! I love the advice you give them as you watch it 😂❤️
This movie spawned an entire industry of copy-cat movies. One of the most innovative film-making techniques that John employed here, was that if you watch from the beginning, all the scenes are wide shot. As the film moves closer to the end, the camera gets closer and closer and closer until it's practically claustrophobic.
Proof you don't need jump scares every 5 seconds to be scary. Slow tension gets you on edge and works too.
Your reactions are so entertaining this was the best one yet. Still my favourite Halloween movie by my favourite horror director. Props to you for doing this. I hope if I’m ever stalked by a masked killer you’re around as you’re sure to lighten the mood 😂 Can’t wait for The Thing!
Jamie Lee Curtis’s mother is the woman who starred in the beginning of the movie Psycho. As much as I’ve seen both of these movies I only found that out within the last year. lol blew my mind.
There are 3 scenes that are apparently only in the TV version. Two are about six months after Michael kills his sister. Loomis is pleading with two other doctors, his superiors, to move Michael to maximum security and how dangerous he is. They dismiss his fears. Then Loomis walks down the hall to Michael's room. Michael is sitting by a window just staring out. Loomis tells him he's not fooled.
The third scene is the morning after he escapes where the nurses explain that Michael got out and opened all the other doors. That's how all the other patients got outside.
I've always felt these are very important scenes and should always be included.
Only if you care about the twist in 2. The TV version was specifically made while Halloween 2 was being filmed, so Carpenter had those scenes added for continuity and length. They're pointless unless you care about the twist in 2, though; we don't need an additional scene of Michael's childhood because Loomis' monologue on Michael is incredible, and we don't need an explanation as to how the other patients were released - we know it's Michael, same as we know how Michael picked up the basics of driving a car.
"This killer is playing with his food" - Funny you should say that. Michael Myers is a playable character in the game Dead By Daylight, and one of his perks is actually called Play With Your Food.
I think the reveal that Michael started as a kid was more terrifying than the rest of the movie.
@27:46 - Kat, that reaction is pitched perfect for that shot. And, yes he's admiring his artwork.
This is the best thing I've watched all day. Your reactions are the best.
Kat you’re hilarious 😭 you need to do the sequels
Best reaction to Halloween I've ever seen. 😄 Forget the sequels, this is a stand alone masterpiece. As it was intended by the people who made it.
Love the reactions, keep 'em up! (And those Kung Fu hands always makes me smile) 👍
This can't bee said enough... "the bees are dying!" Real stuff here. Also I love this reaction. Thanks for another great one lol.
People always be getting pissed at Laurie after she attacks Michael each time. She doesn't know he's unkillable. If only she had gotten to hear Loomis' speech. Plus, this is the movie that started that trope.
I love how Kat freaks out right off the bat
I’ve always loved this movie and even as a classic from the 70’s it holds up remarkably well. additionally this is an extremely suspenseful and stressful movie. Not a high body count and not gory but it makes up for that in the suspenseful anticipation you feel through the whole movie. No other Halloween movie has been able to recapture this feel.
This is THE daddy of modern horror... and I am so glad it sent you into a new dimension as you were watching it. Jamie Lee Curtis for the WIN!
If you said your next film is "the Thing", this film is Care Bears and Unicorns compared to what you'll be seeing next. I wish you well. This reaction was fantastic in that you dressed up as a bee and you made it through the film without screaming many times. In fact, of the horror films you've seen so far, you've faired the best in this one. The Thing will probably adversely affect you.
"PLEEEASE!" Gets me every time 😆😂🤣
Great reaction. The camera work in this movie is so good. Panaglide was new and I'm glad they used it. Halloween is my all time favorite Horror movie.
"This killer is playing with his food!".
This has to be the most perfect explanation of this movie ever! 🤣😆😆🤣
This is my favorite movie of all time and I love how scared you get of this this is the perfect reaction you have a great scream too😂
It's like free-range chickens, but in a bad way!
I feel like that's a you problem.
Don't give up on your instincts! Please, don't give up on your urp!
Your reactions are a treasure. That thing in the corner behind you? That's the real horror of these videos!❤❤😂
To give you an indication of how this movie landed in 1978, I had a coworker who was a Hells Angel before cleaning up his act. He and a gang buddy walked to a neighborhood theater (back when those existed) and saw this movie one night. It so freaked them out that when it came time to walk back home, they drew their pistols and walked back in the middle of the street, each guy watching one side of the road and prepared to shoot anyone who popped out unexpectedly.
This is my fave horror movie and carpenter is my fave director. The feeling he provides with sound design/ score alone is perfect. The tension and suspense is perfect. Michael is also my fave horror icon. This was a fun reaction.
I really loved your reaction. Your interaction with the movie was so funny.
I saw it a couple of years after it came out. It scared me and I was a grown man. I love your reactions.
You never cease to amaze me: "It's like free-range chickens but in a bad way!"
This was a fabulous reaction Kat ☺️ and as much as l love the Exorcist, this movie is my favourite for this time of year. That quote you made when they roll up to the mental hospital and all the patients are wondering about in the rain “they are like free range chickens, but not in a good way” was just hilarious 😂 Great pacing in this movie and it’s the constant stalking and POV from Michael that just increases that sense of fear. Very much looking forward to The Thing on the next upload and l wonder if you would think about getting a heart rate monitor on screen for future reactions? 🤔 This channel just keeps getting better ☺️👌🏼
Loomis' speech is iconic.
"They sure do get a lot of phone calls in this movie," lol. In those days, no text, no internet, only wall phones. Often teenagers would be on the phone all night to their friends.
I remember seeing this in a big theater in West Los Angles back when theaters had great butter popcorn and not that oily crap they feed us today. Anyway, I digress. Normally, I'm not a fan of noisy people in theaters but for this movie it just worked! It was so much fun to watch it with a bunch of people screaming like you did in your reaction to each time Michale would show up in the background. And the audience would laugh or moan every time the one actor would say "totally" and then when she died someone in the crowd yelled out "She's totally dead!" and everyone one laughed and clapped. It was a great time and place to watch this movie.
Best thing is this is the OG slasher Movie and Very Little Blood. I do love your fight poses as the scary parts build up
Halloween is my favorite movie, and yours is one of my favorite reactions to it! I’d recommend watching Halloween 2 (1981) this fall. 🔪🎃
I think it’s cool that Jamie Lee Curtis’ mom was the woman in the shower scene in Psycho.
Bro Kat is so goofy with her 1 liners.
"He's a Magic man" "Hes super dead extremely dead... unless hes wearing a bullet proof Vest and he'll be fine" hahaha
I love the defensive "Two fists up" posture. 😄
same here-she is always ready to rumble with the villain:D
Kat has a quick wit and is naturally funny and charming. Love her horror reactions 👍
OMG, I laughed so hard at the bit close to 07:48. I got light headed, that was so unexpected and helarius. XD
It seems to me that she personifies the innocence we all once had. Naive yet intelligent, a potent combination.
The Movie the Kids are watching (The Thing) is the ORIGINAL Movie From 1951, Based on a Novel written in 1938.
John Carpenter made HIS Version in 1982, 4 years after making Halloween.
I have to say this, I love your content, YOU would make the perfect scream queen and would be killer in any horror movie, as the bad ass who lives. Scream queens have their own super powers heheh, thanks for being on this earth, you make my nights better
