I was laughing while you guys were screaming at the screen, and all of the "rules" you nedd to follow in a horror movie, what you should do to survive, etc...
Remember guys, THIS Movie is the REASON for the Slasher explosion of the 1980s, and it is also the reason for so many of the Horror Movie tropes that are still used today.
Without this movie, there would be no Scream.
A lot of Halloween fanatics (which secretly includes me) will disagree with what I'm about to say but I strongly suggest you only watch the Halloween movie made in 2018. It's a direct continuation, not an actual sequel.
Just so you know…. The Halloween series has 4 different storylines.
1. H1 and H2
2. H1, H2, H4, H5, H6
3. H1, H2, H H20, H Resurrection
4. H1, H 2018, H Kills, H Ends
The Halloween series originally meant to be a anthology which is why Halloween 3 is a different story. But when H3 was released they realized people wanted more Michael Myers.
Also it’s 2 complete remakes by a director named Rob Zombie who came out with H 2007 and H2 2009.
I prefer it if they watch "H1, H 2018, H Kills, H Ends" timeline. Gives a much more grounded take on storyline, though I am still confused about the ending of H Kills. And H Ends had the right idea but they kind of stumbled in the first half.
I really like Halloween 3!
@@DannsProductionsdefinitely the best Timeline for sure. H 2018 is almost on par with the original. H Kills is quite a mess tbh, and H Ends is just purely disappointing
@@fynnthefox9078
I fully agree with you. I didn't like it when I first saw it, however, it's one of my favorites now.
@@DannsProductions The weirdest part about Kills and Ends to me is I feel both plots would have just worked so much better if the order of them had been swapped. Like excluding the plot that carries over obviously, if the meat of Ends was in Kills and the other way around.
Spoilers below:
For example the whole copycat plot with the "is Michael really there or is it just his imaginative" thing the film hinted at sometimes would be I think a lot more effective if the audience and more importantly the characters didn't know Michael was alive. By the end Laurie might think it's just Corey (the copycat) and then be hit with the double punch of Michael still being back and killing Karen, instead of the weird "Micheal is seemingly defeated, but then just get back up and effortlessly kill all the people who just overpowered him" thing and whatever was going on with Karen's death. Then the last film could be about all the survivors trying to take out Michael once and for all, which would lead more naturally up to the "the whole town is watching Michael get killed" ending of Ends.
Halloween was Jamie Lee Curtis' first film! They didn't plan on making a second one, the breathing at the end was to symbolize that evil never dies. However, it was such a big success that people wanted another. So, in 1981 we have the second one which was a direct continuation of the first one. Sidenote: Her mother Janet Leigh was Marion Crane in "Psycho" (1960).
Also, what's great about the first "Halloween" is that Michael Myers is kept in the shadows on purpose to enhance the suspense. Always on the edge of the shot… making you think he's somewhere close.
Jamie was meant to do a show I believe but that got canceled or she got fired which is why she was able to do this movie I think
Really they did a good job making part 2 possible with Michael disappearing & Part 2 is a MUST to understand how Halloween became a Cult Classic.
1 and 2 were planned. It was intended to be a2 parter, then 2 mre parts with a different story, and on and on like that. People got upset when number 3 was a different story. Due to the backlash the studio insisted on going back to the Michael Myers story for at least 2 more. 4 and 5 follow the direct sequel formula.
I always liked number 3.
Part 2 was never meant to be made....studio made Carpenter do it following its success .... JC wanted to make the series an anthology, like SOTW was later....but there was too much appetite for MM
Such a perfect Halloween movie with fall vibes. A classic. It's actually a really cozy movie in a weird way.
Agree it is definitely cosy
Definitely a cozy film. Watch it on a hopefully cold October 31st, under a blanket. Good times.
Back packs were not considered cool back in the 70's no one I know had one!
Super cozy and nostalgic. A movie that actually feels like Halloween somehow.
Facts 100
Michaels mask is a william shatner mask painted white it was the only mask available at the store they went looking for
It's also inside out.
That's hilarious and amazing
They also had an Emmett Kelly Clown mask.
No paint, just inside-out. They cut off the hair, turned it inside-out and glued the hair back on. At least that's what I remember hearing.
@@nodak81 what i remember reading its painted white cause if your turn a latrx mask inside out it wont fit proberly
Fun Fact: This is Jamie Lee Curtis first movie in her entire life.
another fun fact: jamie lee curtis’s mother was the scream queen from the horror movie “Psycho”
Wasn’t she in a show before Halloween? I swear I seen a video where she had acted in shows before the making of this movie
@@kobitobin1449she was in a game show in the 70s
@@kobitobin1449 she was on a tv series Operation Petticoat
@@DillonD95 Janet Leigh.
“It was the boogeyman!” “As a matter of fact, it was!”.
Iconic line ✨️
I’m sure any fan of this film knows that due to a lack of any kind of budget for the film John Carpenter had somebody go to a local Halloween store and get any cheap mask they could that was relatively nondescript. Well the mask that Michael Myers wears is that ofWilliam Shatner, Captain Kirk of the starship enterprise. Once you know it, you can see his face in that mask.
Halloween showed that you can make a good movie with a small budget.
"This director is amazing at creeping you out." Thats why he was one of the 'Big 4' of his day. (Metalheads will get that) Craven, Capenter, Kubrick, Cronenberg
Let’s give it up for Dean Cundey (the cinematographer) while we’re giving props.
@@darchangel8675309 yep yep. So many shots that don't just come from direction but camera choices. Editing, camera, locations. All as important as the guy pointing marks.
George Romero was another member of that horror pantheon.
Ash,
You need to go directly right away to Halloween 2. Use the long version if you can. Watch it next week with Hanna, I don't want to give it away, but you will be glad you watched them back-to-back. You really DON'T want to wait till next year. Watch them back-to-back. The two first movies are linked.
There's plenty of other Halloween's to watch in the next year's to come.
agreed they need to do back to back and I can't wait for their reaction
Yes!
Agreed. After that, they should continue to watch the films in release order.
*This comment SERIOUSLY Needs more likes!!!!! They have to do this! lol*
Yes, yes, yes & yes ! If you're going to do it, do it like that !
One of the greatest horror movies ever made, in my opinion.
*most overrated
You ain’t lying that’s for damn sure.
@@pvanukoffdo you actually think that or are you just being a contrarian cuz it's cool
@@jkfozul2316it still holds up even with the funny moments but the tension still gets the reaction
@@ACinemafanatic oh yeah for sure! What I find creepy as all get out are all of the shots of him just there in the back ground then he disappears. For my money him materializing in the hallway behind Lorie and him just standing there staring at tommy from across the street are two of the most iconic and creepy shots from a slasher flick
Ash was right , Michael doesn't run , he's The Shape , he's supernatural , he literally vanishes. He doesn't need to run , he exists!
In knock off slasher films the killer appears impossibly near or in unexpected places without explanation and is immune to damage beyond credibility, things Michael does just became a trope of the genre. But in Halloween it was intentional because he's the Bogeyman.
After Halloween most slashers were scary because it could happen in real life. A psycho creep stalking , the realism was scary . But Halloween was sort of a trick , at the start he's an escaped mental patient killer but the film drops hints he's doing stuff that is supernatural. It's a great twist that makes Halloween more macabre and a modern version of a classic movie monster and part of the Halloween spooky vibe than about a crazed killer.
All that kinda got lost in the hype. People craved more realism but Halloween endures because it's an old school myth.
I know you guys think the acting is bad, but it’s actually exactly how John Carpenter wants it to be. The acting is secondary in this film. It’s all about the atmosphere
Exactly!
Well, I mean, I doubt he wanted the acting to be bad lol but yeah I think most of his creative efforts were directed to building a horrifying atmosphere.
he wanted bad acting in They Live. Here is lack of money to pay real actors for supporting roles
I believe the late Debra Hill wrote the dialogue as way to how teenage girls talked doing the 70's...
@sonnyblack71 Yes I wonder if what they’re perceiving as unnatural dialogue is just the way people talked back then, speech patterns etc were very different.
“The sun will NOT come out for her tomorrow.” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You HAVE to watch The Fly!! No neck Hannah (maybe even no neck Ash) is guaranteed
Jeff Goldblum Fly, with maybe a little Fly original thrown in. '80s remakes FTW.
That would be amazing but I don't think I could stomach watching that film again I made the mistake of eating when I first watched it never again have I eaten close or during any film
"Cabin Fever 2002" for NO Neck Hannah 😅
the undertakers sit up was inspired by michael myers, as was kane's persona. i do find it funny that ash mentioned taker 😂
The Motherfucking Shape.
you guys should watch.
Candyman (1992)
The Fly (1986)
Hellraiser (1987)
Child's Play (1988)
Halloween II (1981)
A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge (1985)
A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987)
im dying for them to watch childs play
Excellent list. The classics are required viewing. I would add The Omen (1976), Damien - Omen II (1978) and The Exorcist (1973) if they haven't already watched them.
@mmoore0325 that's a good list too! And I'll also add War of the Worlds (2005), Saw III (2006)
I think Hannah would literally vomit watch The Fly.
@@norwegianblue2017 oh definitely
Ash, at the end of the reaction you and Hanna said the death scenes are cheesy and anti-climactic, which is true but it depends on how you look at it.
John Carpenter often inserts socio-political and sexual subtexts into his films.
Halloween explores themes of sexual liberation, repression, awakaning and voyeurism.
Carpenter uses tension and release - building suspense that culminates in a brief climax, and dissipating in a cathartic manner.
This can be seen as a metaphor for orgasming, which explains why the victims moan so much after being penetrated by a long thicc object.
Same with Alfred Hitchcock and Psycho. Interesting that Marion had to die once she took off her clothes and took a shower. And in a lot of other slashers the sluttiest characters get killed off first.
*An American Werewolf in London* (1981) is going to make ASH and HANNAH go crazy on camera, specially the first transformation scene.
Also, UNDERWORLD (2003) and BLADE II.
Ahhh......a fellow lover of American Werewolf in London. My fav movie of all time.
Oh yeah. I'm not a horror fan, but the classics like this and American Werewolf are immortal.
Werewolf reaction is going to amazing
Jamie lees moms roll in psycho led her to want her first movie to be a horror movie
Role not roll
@@RandyWhite-e6t no its write how i said i own the dictionary company i have never missspelled a word in my life cause i own the languange you cant prove me wrong
@@Raven5150😭😭
Her mom and that car have a little cameo in Halloween H20.
This is one of the three movies that eased me into loving horror movies (I was easily scared as a kid) The other two being Gremlins and Final Destination. 🧡 🖤 🔪 🎃 💜
The music is what stuck with me throughout the years. One of the most memorable and iconic horror themes for one of the most memorable and iconic horror icons. 💜
John Carpenter said that they screened the movie before the music was in it and everyone thought it sucked.
It's always been my ringtone and it's given a few people a jump scare. Says it creeps them out.
I love how In the credits they label Micheal as, The Entity.
Actually its 'the Shape'
I know It’s a little late but congrats on 200k subs. I remember when you guys were under 100k. Congrats. One of my favourite channels.
Did they just hit 200k this week?
@@ct6852 Yup
Did you guys know how famous she is her father is acting legend Tony Lee Curtis and her mom is Vivian Leigh the actress who got stabbed in the shower 🚿 in the movie Psycho
# Janet Leigh.....Vivien Leigh was in Gone with the Wind 😃
One movie I absolutely PRAY y'all do soon (maybe for Christmas) is Gremlins. 💚 💜
You guys NEED to watch Black Christmas from 1974! Even scarier than this. Such a brilliant horror film.
Halloween was very much influenced by Black Christmas.
Amazing and funny reaction guys!
You HAVE to do Halloween 2 (1981) it's a fantastic sequel and conclusion to the ending of this movie! 👍
When they first screened this movie before it went public John Carpenter felt like something was missing. He went into his basement and added the piano part himself and the movie was born.
John Carpenter's a real one!
🎃 Michael Myers 🎃
You should watch Friday the 13th next 🤪
I cannot wait for "that scene" once they get to it ;)
8:00 Yeahhh can’t really blame you for laughing, didn’t sound like dying noises
27:26 Lmao wtf
With the noises, I think Halloween is supposed to have kind of a sexual undertone. This is an exploitation slasher like Friday the 13th. Funnily, Friday just ripped Halloween off, they admitted it!
Let’s gooooo… bro I absolutely love this channel
I saw the 2018 halloween before i saw the original
Please watch this clip one, Halloween 2, and Halloween H20 first. It’s the best timeline and best overall story in the franchise!
What happend to speed with Keanu ?? it will remain for patrons ?:D
Pumpkinhead is a good Halloween movie too. Back then this was properly scary. Today's youth are desensetised to blood and gore
One of my favorite slasher films!
I remember watching this with my older sister in October 2000, a week before my 10th birthday, she was up north in Flagstaff for her ROTC training, my parents and I were staying at a hotel , I was sharing a room with my sister, and we were watching this on either HBO or Cinemax, and it scared the hell out of me.
Such a classic one to watch on Halloween 🎃 Pun intended 🤣🤘I Interviewed John Carpenter 2 years ago and was fanboying out "Halloween" Is Legendary for a Reason! Great reaction Guy's 👏
William Shatner - "Turn around" 🎶
😂😂😂😂
Fun Faxct Ash Undertaker admited on his podcast he crafted his character around Michael Myers and Jason Voorhess
Muchaels sit up is the insperation for mark to make it the undertaker set up, and kanes debut is so michael myers
The greatest iconic horror movie of all time
You both will be scared so bad
No it wasn’t. The Exorcist was…..and still is the most successful horror film of all time.
The brief "Unmasked" Michael Myers at end of movie was Tony Moran whose sister was Erin Moran ( Joanie) from Happy Days TV Show, Nick Castle played Michael throughout movie,but director John Carpenter wanted a more " Angelic" face for ummasked scene.😊🎃🎃
Please react to Scream and Friday the 13th next!
They actually have Scream on the channel already but it's with Ash's sister and not Hannah.
If you think the UA-cam reaction videos are good, you should see the full length videos on both of their Patreon channels. I just got back from a 10 day vacation cruise and spent many and evening before going to bed watching their videos. There is nothing more entertaining or funny on the Internet than the two of them. Howard & Sharon
You guys have to watch the rest of the movies
Oh boy. No neck Hannah month is off to a great start!
Fun Fact: The mask Michael Myers wears is a terrible William Shatner mask, painted white.
Should be followed by HALLOWEEN II immediately
Can’t believe yalla re doing this movie. My favorite movies of all time are from the Halloween franchise.
Y'all should really watch the sequel... It picks up right after the first one
You know whats really cool? Stopping right around here.
Possibly the sequel but not necessary 😂 or go for the Rob Zombie versions for a gritty take with more background. I fuckin love Halloween 🎃 But even most fans will say each movie writes itself into a slightly stranger corner. Pitch Meeting breaks it down fairly well 😂
H20 would be a good next one to watch. But yeah seeing all of them probably isn't necessary.
Some of the best horror films of the 70s. Serial killer that can't be killed. If you want to hear some dark shit, I work at a convenience store. One time this couple and kid came in. Kid was maybe 10-12, not sure. He gave me the death stare, no blinking. I actually turned away and made a joke on his "death stare". Unfortunately, those parents likely were raising a true psychopath or sociopath. He literally scared me and I've been an adult a long, long time. So Mike Myers is such a great character that could be real in fact.
Imagine being so brain rotted that you label a child a psychopath/sociopath after one encounter and no real interaction.
Perhaps your appearance was so upsetting that all the child could do was stare in fear?
Occams razor says your appearance scared the child rather than any psychological issues with the child.
20:07 “RKO, Randy Orton”
For a minute I thought you were gonna say “that’s a symbolism because Michael comes outta nowhere” lol
I hate you for that…damn I wish I said that now 😂
You guys should react to the remake that Rob Zombie did. It’s different but I like it when I want a more brutal version of Halloween. It gets too much hate
I mean, I appreciate him trying something different but his style just doesn't work with Halloween. All the characters are cartoonishly douchey to make Michael look sympathetic and Michael himself is just a textbook serial killer. I like the sequel a bit more.
That new intro with a montage of you guys dressed up is awesome.
No matter how fast you run, Michael will walk faster
Now watch HALLOWEEN 2 (1981), HALLOWEEN (2018), HALLOWEEN KILLS (2021) The other movies are diffrent storylines and stuff, even if Halloween 2 and 2018 are diffrent sequals you need to watch all three in that order.
Sorry Ash but this is THE horror movie and influenced EVERYTHING that came after. Loved watching Hannah experience the jump scares. H2 gives you more of the back story so if you choose to view you will understand more.
Really loving the new intro, with all the clips and costumes and BTS. You two are so good together, I think your chemistry makes you the most dynamic reaction duo on YT. Legends!
Ash: "Owe, my ears!"
Yes, Ash, that's why she remains "The Scream Queen".
Ash: "Look at his mask!"
Two things with this... The mask is a modified version of a William Shatner, Cpt. Kirk mask. The prop designer picked it up randomly aft the Director changed the plan. At first, Michael was going to be known as "The Shape", due to you only seeing his silhouette in the shadows. That's why you see him lurking and disappearing. The Co-Producer, Debra Hill, suggested that a little bit of a human-like mask showing would be creepier.
Watch HALLOWEEN 2 (it takes place later the same night the story continues)
As with many things, acting has been developed over many years. I know it's hard to believe, but that's just how acting was back then, especially horror movie acting. =3
So fun! And to be fair to Laurie: before this movie, very few villains refused to die after being stabbed in the throat and falling down. This movie really popularized the trope of "always make SURE they're dead, otherwise they'll come back" - so Laurie (and audiences) weren't trained to double-tap or triple-stab when the villain is down and seemingly dead. :)
Little Lindsey was so traumatized she grew up to the one of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. She's also Paris Hilton's aunt. Also, the acting isn't totally the actors fault. Movies were heavily censored back then. At one point briefly nudity was more acceptable than violence. If they went too far they could get a dreaded X rating which was a box office killer. It wasn't until the 80's that both were big in movies.
You guys are missing some great 80s films: Smokey and the Bandit, Goonies, Gremlins, Wargames, Ferris Buellers Day off, Breakfast Club, 16 candles, etc. Got to get those done as well. Great reaction videos guys.
This movie was a work-for-hire situation where Irwin Yablans, a movie distributor, already knew that he wanted a movie made about Babysitter Murders. John Carpenter took on the assignment, co-writing with Debra Hill, and they created Michael Myers and set the story at Halloween. Yablans loved the fact that Halloween had never been a movie title before. The budget was $300,000.
In case you do wanna watch another one next year, jump immediately to the 2018 Halloween. It skips all other sequels that overexplain Michael.
Fact: In this film the killer is known as The Shape. He's not called Michael Myers until the second film.
I never noticed this
Ok so that was this movie. I was calling him The Shape in a review once and I got all up in my head about calling him that. Couldn't remember if that was for MM or another movie or book or something.
One of those true horror classics. Though my favorite Carpenter film is The Fog, this is still very much high up on my list. Even though I do own it on Blu-ray, I will be seeing it at my local historic theatre in October. It should be a great experience. By the way, in case no one has mentioned it, the mask was actually made from a William Shatner Captain Kirk mask. They expanded the eye holes and painted it white.
you gotta react to the second movie it carries on right after this one, its a BANGING sequel.
They couldn’t decide on a mask so they ended up buying a William Shatner/Captain Kirk from Star Trek mask and painted it white. Voila!
Michael never drove a car in his life took right to it
It’s a shame you guys aren’t going to react to terrifier 1/2 - considering 3 is coming out in like 2 weeks and they’re super gory and eerie, would make no neck Hannah come out , ash even dressed as the clown in the movie, for last years Halloween videos lmao.
Fun fact, Halloween & Halloween 2 were filmed as 1 film, but the studio said it was too long so they cut it in half & made 2 films
Not true. Halloween was meant to be a one and done. There were no plans for sequels until it was a smash hit at the theaters.
@@fynnthefox9078 true
Best Halloween movie from this franchise:
Halloween,
Halloween II,
Halloween H2O,
Halloween (2018)
I remember coming home from school in the month of October and watching this obsessively when I was a kid 😂 Sleepy Hollow too
Funny you should say that. Undertaker ( Mark Callaway) did take inspiration from this movie.
Fun fact, this movie has the same director as 1982 the thing. also some of the actors like jamie lee and Donald Pleasence are really good.
This is one of the three movies that eased me into loving horror movies (I was easily scared as a kid) The other two being Gremlins and Final Destination. 🧡 🖤 🔪 🎃 💜
8:13 I love how Michael’s dad is frozen in his tracks but the mom is just visibly annoyed and glaring at him like she’s sick of his shit.
Classic scary movies of all time. Its not necessarily gory like alot of these recent films but the creepiness and subtle jump scares is what makes this a great film.
Ash has good insight on camera movements
Fun Fact: The mask used by Michael is just William Shatner painted white. lol
This laid the foundation for a lot of other horror films after Psycho
Respect for what came before.
If you're relationship survives the human centipede yiu have to marry hannah this woman has been with you through everything
Very important to watch Halloween 2 right away. You can think of Halloween being in part 1 and part 2.
Also, all of hose random please from the first two movies, you’ll see them again in later films. (Same for Terminator movies.)
Also the he “Why” Michael is the way he is, you’ll learn more in part 4-6.
You got the premise...he is supernatural...think of him as an unstoppable force.
lol the first thing ash notices on the tv RKO randy orton lol i llove it, cause i thought the same thing :D
Jamie Lee Curtis' mother irl is Janet Lee, The lady in the shower in PHSYCO
This dude and his symbolism Lol 😂
You can’t talk about Halloween without mentioning Michael Myers.
I loved this reaction. Just so you know, these movies have 4 different timelines. If I were you , I'd watch Halloween 2018 next, then Halloween kills, then Halloweeen ends. Then again, those are ones I watched. I can't give input on the others, but I enjoyed this timeline.
@aaronaltamirano3483.. do yourself a favor and watch Halloween II (1981). It's far closer to the original than any of those glorified sequels.
More long ads, guess you're paying for those jonas tickets. 😜
Hey guys I've got a terrifiing movie for you to watch it's the remake.of Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2003 it's twice as long as the first 1 & Twice as Terrifying 😱😲
@@rockstonkilmor4404 Terrible movie. Even Ermey can't save it.
This film is surprisingly bloodless...considering it spawned the 1980's gore horror film genre.
Definitely, Friday the 13th 2 years later ushered in the gore element to the slasher.
No offense Hannah but I doubt you would survive being in a horror movie. Watching horror movies, that’s another story
Then again... Scream.
Why do the old one and Not the New one? Sometimes the re-makes are better 😅
