In the theatrical release, the killings are more crazy. And the woman playing Kara looks EXACTLY like the woman that played Ms. Honey in Matilda. I like both versions of this
Exactly. I still can't believe it. And if Danielle Harris had played Jamie in this movie, it would have been very powerful. She was honestly thrown away in favor of this silly cult plot.
“Jinkies, bitch…” 😂😆💀 Love that you’re going in chronological/release order! Most excited that you’ll be at H20 next!! My personal fav out of the entire franchise 🔥🔥 can’t wait
Well, there is no director’s cut really. It is the producer’s cut and the theatrical cut. I’ve been a fan of the theatrical cut since it came out back in 95. I was renting the VHS tape for like a month straight every weekend. The producer’s cut has moments, but overall, it isn’t as exciting as the theatrical cut to me.
@@richardstange5939 that’s just a bunch of fluff scenes added back onto a fluff movie lol. It didn’t really change anything about the story aside from Jimmy being in the ambulance
“You went from this to Clueless?” Literally yes. Paul Rudd filmed Halloween 6 first but Clueless got released theatrically first. Loomis became Michael’s protector ironically at the end. Next is H20 my 2nd favorite sequel. Since you love Scream, you’ll love H20 since it was inspired by it and Kevin Williamson had some involvement in the story
I watched H2O recently and was surprised by how poorly it held up. I remember really liking it as a kid but maybe that's just because it was so pop culture savvy with its casting at the time. Didn't enjoy it on the rewatch.
H2O was bad when it came out& still is. Doesn't mean u can't like it, but I thought it was such a disappointment after being so excited to see it back in '98...& hasn't gotten better w/time for me. Real piece of doodie that one. I didn't like 'H6' when it came out either, but enjoy it now. And the radio personality guy or maybe it was like reality tv🤔...Idk...but that blonde haired dude was kinda hot.
H2O is a lot of fun. I see people complain about it, but I’m not sure why. It’s probably the best of the bunch, next to the original & maybe Halloween II.
Fun Facts: It was the Cult twist in the film that convinced Donald Pleasence to sign back on calling it the best script he has read since the first movie. This was what was originally set to get released in theaters. However because the test screening fared poorly among a group of 14 year old boys. This led to several reshoots. None of the reshoots would involve Dr. Loomis because Donald Pleasence died after initial production concluded. This led to a worse version of the film being released where characters screen time was cut and several plot points you see here would be taken out so if you had seen the theatrical version first you wouldn't know what was going on. Danielle Harris turned down the part due to both money issues and unhappiness with her character's mistreatment. In fact, Harris wasn't even considered to return at all as they were looking for an actress 18 or older for the part of Jamie and Danielle was 17 at the time. One of the special features in the Blu Ray is an interview with Danielle as she talked about everything she went through to try to get the part. JC Brandi (who played Jamie here) also faced backlash from angry fans accusing her of stealing the part of Jamie from Danielle which caused Danielle to come to JC's aide standing up for JC. Danielle and JC would become good friends as a result of all this. While Halloween fans and and Critics panned both versions of the film, almost everyone agreed that The Producers Cut was actually a movie and a better product. Someone already pointed out Donald Pleasence screen time being cut due to the director finding Donald Pleasence to be boring. And the director was an idiot.
That convinced him? Pleasence has said for several years before he passed how he hoped they do 30 more, and he'd love to be in them. Everything else is true, good stuff as many get so much wrong lol.
There's huge flaws with every version of this movie. No amount of playing around with footage or editing changes the fact that the film lacks interesting characters, and has a lousy premise (they've drifted so, so far away from the simplicity of the original in which Micheal Meyers represented almost an elemental sort of evil, looming over everything, ready to strike).
The Weinstein brothers were the main issue with the movie and fucking everything up and that’s insane that moustapha may he Rest In Peace let a director who didn’t know what he was doing still film cause I would’ve fired !!
@@jenniferbayarea5748 Weinstein were the main issue, but akkad is a greedy fucker that never cared how the movies turned out, as long as he kept the rights, and they kept pumping money into his pockets. Look at H5 it came out a year after H4, and the only reason why it was rushed (and it was) was because akkad was gonna lose the rights if he didn't make one that quickly. He never cared how horribly H5 came out as long as he kept the rights, and H5 is much worse than this one.
@@toddpatrick8254 It's a lot more bearable than the Zombie films and Resurrection (and let's be honest, Halloween 5 + 6) at least. Not like that's a particularly high bar.
"Ms. Blankenship, you nasty b*tch!" HAHAHA Has got to be my favorite line of this video. I had to pause the video because I was cackling for a minute straight. LOVE you, miss thing.
Paul Rudd NEVER ages! He must've found the Fountain of Youth, or has some type of voodoo magic spell that cause him to NEVER age! Also, watching your reaction whilst typing this, girl! Love ya!
A few stray thoughts: Every time you asked who the baby's father is, I would shake my head and say, "oh, honey, I'm so sorry." Jamie deserved better; poor kid just had the worst life. But the look of pure "...wut" on your face when the movie cut to black was gold! 😂 The theatrical version is worth a look, if only because the abusive dad gets a much more satisfying death in that version. It's a bit of a wash quality wise, but they are very different films. Lastly, a personal note you might appreciate, but whenever I watch this movie I'm always mentally shipping Kara and Beth, in part because Beth's relationship with Tim gives me such a comphet vibe.
Basically at the end, Michael was lose again and Doctor Loomis was cursed with Thorn meaning he was cursed to look after Michael. Donald Pleasence died shortly after filming finished on this film and they didn’t feel they could continue that storyline so they reshot a LOT and changed the ending completely. Believe it or not, this makes way more sense than the theatrical cut haha Also I loved the Bob the Drag Queen reference “walk into that room WEAPON FIRST” 😂😂 good stuff as always.
Been watching Alanda for a while now and i really just have to say i never get tired of her reactions. She’s always so honest & candid. Happy to see so many people coming back to support this black queen
I can’t express the amount of joy I feel whenever I see a new post!!! I’m truly gonna miss next weekend. But our girl needs a break! I can’t til you get to Halloween (2018), Friday the 13th parts 3 & 4, Curse of Chucky (stay tuned for post-credit scene), and New Nightmare 💜
Baby girl, mama, the queen, miss alanda I sincerely need you to know , you keep me going. Haven't even started the video yet but looking forward to any of your videos has honestly kept me alive
You're watching the Director's Cut, the theatrical cut was noticeably different. The theatrical version is worth seeing because it takes a radical turn in the final act. Curious as to what you'd think about it in comparison with this. It's been a matter of hot debate among fans of the series. Halloween 6 is a very troubled film, but it did one thing very well - it captured the atmosphere of autumn. After all these years, only Halloween 4 and Halloween 6 really got the cold, dark, eerie quality of autumn. Even the first film, owing to being filmed in California, didn't capture that vibe. Of course, the first movie got everything else right! You'll love H20. Even taking into account the new films with Jamie Lee Curtis, her performance in H20 was perfect.
When you get a chance you should watch the theatrical version, a lot of the scenes are different, there’s no magic or incest, the score and the ending is different.
I convinced my friends in college to go see this when it opened in theaters. I nearly lost my movie picking privileges for the rest of my college days. And yes, the theatrical version is waaaaayyyy different than the version you watched but I really don’t care for either. The whole cult storyline I thought was not at all in the spirit of the franchise.
I have to agree I like the producers cut only for the missing scenes and stuff that makes sense for a little bit but the theatrical cut had good scenes as well I would’ve quit if I was part of making this movie it was such a hot mess and we all know who to blame aka The predator of the me too movement
This was the first Halloween that I was old enough to see in the theatre, so there's enough nostalgia here that I can overlook the messy plot. Great to see the amazing Mitch Ryan (Dr Wynn) who sadly passed away earlier this year. Seeing as this is from 1995, the biggest fright this movie delivers is seeing how poorly I'm aging compared to Paul Rudd.
Yes!! Such a fun watch…I rarely see someone watch/review the producers cut. Can’t wait for H2O…I feel you’ll dig it way more than 5 & 6. Enjoy your rest, Alanda!! You deserve it 😊 Thanks again for the great content!!
H20 is a movie that has grown on me over the years. Initially I hated it, except for LL COOL J who was hilarious in it. Part of it drag, but it's an interesting take on Laurie and a bit of a character study on the long term effects of PTSD. For what it is, it's a fun romp. Certainly better than 6
H20 is one of the best along with the first two when it comes to the original time line I do like 4 and 5 they’re fun to watch it’s just good ‘ol nostalgia of being a child coming home from school on Halloween part 4-5 playing in the background while getting dressed up for a spooky night 👻
H4, 5, & 6 are the main Halloween movies I watched as a kid but the H6 mask was the most terrifying mainly because it was the closest to the original and he was vicious af in this movie. I can’t wait for your reaction to H20!! That was basically the Scream version of Halloween.
I'm loving these reactions. I always think it's a bit of a shame when people say you should skip sequels and only watch some. A reaction to a bad movie can be just as entertaining as a reaction to a good one. And you got the zingers to match! You could totally host Mystery Science Theater 3000.
OMG! I never saw this version. The one I saw cuts out with an image of the hospital then screaming. Then them driving off in the Jeep I NEVER knew the power of the Thorn was transferred to Dr. Loomis 😱😱😱😱😱😱 In the movie release, his screams is all you hear. There's also the whole running through the underground scene that doesn't seem to be here. The ritual? That's NOT in the original movie. In that one they were in a nursery hospital wing and had the baby in an organ holder. I LOVED this one SO MUCH MORE!
This cut and the theatrical are significantly different. This film went through production hell thanks to the Weinstein's. I would watch that cut as well to compare the two although the only redeemable part of that cut is how the father dies (same way but you see him suffer and his head explodes).
Jamie’s death was a brutal way to go compared to the lame death in the producers cut. Cause if you are gonna kill off a legacy character you gotta do that with a bang and that farm machine kill oof.
Jamie is wasted in the theatrical cut and her death is excessive, Loomis's role is trimmed down because the director found Donald's acting boring, it's edited in a really obnoxious way and major plot points are changed or removed. Somehow this cut makes even less sense.
@@radioactive_moose excessive or not it was a great kill which isn’t a negative in my eyes. Still the character itself is a legacy character maybe not the actress who plays her but the character is and the death of Jamie in the theatrical cut was sm better than the producers cut. The kills in the theatrical cut entertain and save the movie for me especially without focusing on the cult side.
OMG! Yes The Halloween series! Nothing makes me happier than when you watch this series! I feel bad that I didn’t watch your last reaction but I’ve been having the hardest time just waking up in the morning. (I’m not saying this to say oh boo me but life hasn’t been the same these last almost two weeks. It feels hard to want to do anything after my brother was shot & killed for no reason two weeks ago.) but thank you for always being here with your positive energy and glow. It’s very much needed during a dark time like this even tho we are watching a horror movie at the same time. I appreciate you and the work you put into giving us great content. Xoxo! 💛
So very sorry for your loss. I too lost a brother for simply no reason as well. Im going on 18 years and he is still sorely missed and it still hurts me hurts as if it was yesterday 💔😥 my brother was 21 and I was 16 at the time.... so many years lost/stolen from him and my family.
@@Kriissttaccyy09 I’m sorry love for your loss. Can I ask how did you learn to cope with such a loss?? Some days I feel like my heart is too broken to handle this level of pain. My brother was 10 years older than me and I viewed him as my protector. It feels like a piece of me is gone.
@@MsSASSILYLilOrphandAnGelA I took the long way to get to where I am. There was 5 years between my brother and I and he was the oldest. My brother was my best friend ...my secret keeper.. my ride or die... After his death there has been a hole inside me that no drink or drug was able to fill. Still to this very day the hole is still there but I remind myself of all of our good memories.. keep his memory alive for my daughter who never was able to meet her. However, I also find some comfort knowing my first child that passed is now with him and he's keeping her until its my time to go... at least this is what I choose to believe and that was a reason he had to go was to be there and ready for waiting on his niece. I know to some that might sound foolish but it keeps me less bitter than I was before..
I never cared much for the whole Thorn and cult plotline, but one thing I am 100% in agreement with is that poor Jamie deserved better. I wouldn't be mad if they did another timeline in the future that featured Jamie going up against her Uncle Boogeyman and finally defeating him, and gets that happiness that the Thorn plot ripped away from her. As long as it's done right, of course.
Alanda, who fathered the child? (6:30). Sadly, Michael Myers, her uncle is the father... Yeah, while this movie isn't as bad as Rob Zombie's crap, this movie really went off the rails. Which is why H20 just goes back to the original 2. Also, fun fact, Dr. Wynn (Man in black) was actually the doctor in the original film who asked how Michael learned how to drive (not the same actor, same character) Halloween 5 director really messed everything up because he introduced a lot of these cult ideas. He hadn't seen the previous films and wanted to try something new and it led to... this.
This movie went down an insane rabbit hole that should have been left alone. It had its good points, such as the return of Tommy to the franchise and a very good, final performance from Donald Pleasance (RIP) But otherwise this was just a mess.
I always love the lack of continuity between this one and the first one. Either Michael is a speed demon, or he teleported those 150 miles from Haddonfield to Smith’s Grove 💀 great vid Alanda! Your commentary is always on point 💯
This movie was Donald Pleasances's final role before he died, that final scream from Dr Loomis was his final voice line ever recorded on film, and it was in this movie, just think about that. They really should have went with the Micheal Myers being some Silver Shamrock android gone amuck, to explain all of this, dude was invincible like a Terminator at this point
Very excited for you to watch H20! Also, you have a beautiful voice, and I loved your excerpts from "The Greatest Showman" in the 2 vids before this. Speaking of music - you'll probably recognize that at least 2 scenes in H20 are exact copies of the score from Scream! Same composer, and I thought it was a nice touch.
"For all we know the infant has picked up a butcher knife and started stabbing ms blackenship" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Girl I cannot. You made a movie I do not generally enjoy so much fun with your commentary
Halloween 6 -- the Producer's Cut -- is way better than it should be considering the script went through between 9 to 11 drafts, each of which progressively treats Jamie more and more like yesterday's garbage while cramming in a wide variety of subplots and characters that all tie back to the original film. As other comments will affirm, the autumnal vibes are immaculate, the performances are all quite good in this cut, and George P. Wilbur returns from Halloween 4 with his second solid performance as The Shape. This is definitely the most ambitious Halloween film. It attempts, without a trace of camp, a lot of good ideas that could individually work but ultimately undermine any clarity or direction the plot may have had. I like most of the individual scenes but the end result is so muddled. No draft of the script ever manages to commit to *why* poor Jamie has to be impregnated if the cult's dastardly plot is actually to pass the curse from Michael to Danny, with Michael killing his final relative and Danny killing Kara. Plus, Michael seemingly steals the kills that should logically be Danny's, leaving Danny with just the one victim? The exposition dumps also fail to account for the reality that Michael is always a standard-issue serial killer despite all his supernatural flourishes -- he enjoys tormenting his main target with his tricks and treats even if he is also in some way empowered by the ancient blood magic of the Druids. I love the concept of an old friend of Loomis turning out to be a mastermind that makes him Michael's protector, but again, there are too many players that clearly play key roles that are never properly clarified to the viewer. Halloween 5 & 6 are a sadly abandoned experiment in trying to make the world of Halloween bigger and more interesting than the very simple, focused slashers of Halloween 1, 2, and 4. The series may have some better movies to come, but it never attempts this kind of serialized, interconnected storytelling again. RIP Jamie Lloyd Carruthers; you deserved better.
Also as someone who got into the Halloween series around 2007, I need to acknowledge the miracle that the Producer's Cut actually has an official release, something the fanbase thought would never happen!
People who love Scream 3 the most also love H2O the most of this franchise... It's me, I'm people. It's that late 90's early 00's vibes I can't live without.
Hi Alanda. I don’t know if you’ll ever see this. But I figured I’d give a shot at an explanation. So, in this timeline, this initially wasn’t supposed to be the finale. This movie was just another sequel. However, when early screenings got REALLY bad reviews, the movie was drastically changed. However, it too got REALLY bad reviews. That’s why we have two different versions of the movie. Actually, the Producer’s Cut only got officially released fairly recently. So due to the extreme critical failure of this movie, they decided to do something completely different for the next sequel. Seeing that it was her 20th anniversary of being in acting, Jamie Lee Curtis decided to approach John Carpenter to make a new sequel. This ultimately became Halloween: H20, which completely ignores movies 3-6 and starts a whole new timeline. I hope you’re able to see this and that it doesn’t get lost in the comments. But I’m loving this series and I love your videos. I’m a huge fan. Love you, Dear!
6:12 I am SO relieved that I wasn't the only one that didn't get that it was supposed to be Jamie as an adult at first. BTW fun fact: Danielle Harris, who played Jamie to perfection in H4 and H5, wanted to return to the franchise with this movie but they wouldn't pay her initially or even when her team lowered the amount. Sound familiar?.......Scream 6.........
Another big W from Queen Alanda. ♥️ I'd highly recommend watching the theatrical cut to get a bigger picture of things and experience the better soundtrack and kills, or at least a UA-cam compilation of all the differences. Side Note, I'm of the very few people on Earth who rank this film and part 1 both in first place; as messy as it can be, it's not boring like some of the other ones can be and nearly itches out 1 in being scarier and nailing the spooky season vibes. 🎃
It is boring. Sorry. Flat characters and not much of a narrative flow. Being made in 1994, it suffers really badly from the sleepy downer vibe of the early 90's.
I love the Halloween series but I cannot wait until you jump back into the "Friday the 13th" series as well as "A Nightmare on Elm Street" series to see Fredrick and his shenanigans! 😂😂
Jamie and Loomis did not understand the true nature of Michael Myers. Hence why they are ultimately absorbed into the cult of Thorn. Tommy did understand the mystical nature of Myers - hence why he was able to stop Michael AND escape.
Alanda when you said, "She kinda has a Winona Ryder thing" I literally yelled because I kept having that same energy too!! She kinda looks like Winona too to be honest.
I’ve watched this video a hundred times now and I’m JUST NOW noticing that this is the alternate version with a different death for Jamie than the one I’ve seen.
First off, I adore you and love watching your vids each Sunday! I’m always looking forward to what we’re watching next! Especially when it’s horror! The theatrical version of H6 is better IMO.. I’d watching that one too on your own time if you’d like. H4 & H20 are my fave Halloween sequels. I know you’ll love H20. It came out around the scream era and was even written by Kevin Williamson! It’s such a fun ride! Anyway, I hope you enjoy your time off! We can’t wait to watch more with you! Peace & love! 💛✌🏾:)
Always thought this movie was a mess lmao We go from a standard masked serial killer, to a vaguely supernatural masked serial killer, to a whole-ass centuries-old cult?? Absurdities abound. I'm just glad H20 does away with that whole continuity and brings it back to a generally simpler story, can't wait to see your reaction to it!
Keep in mind that the Celtic curse angle was used in the novelization of the first Halloween. That being said, the way that Part 6 handles this angle is beyond aggravating and actively diminishes the character of Michael Meyers.
@@ryanjacobson2508 They could've omitted the curse altogether, it's not as though they *had* to acknowledge what the novelization set up. If they had to, some vague implication would've been more effective, rather than de-mystify Michael completely. Still, this movie is at least better than Resurrection lmao
How Alanda comes out with all these pop culture references I don't know. White walker - Game of thrones Nightmare on elm Street Miss Honey - Matilda Velma - Scooby Doo Paul Rudd aka peeping Paul - Antman Andy - Childs play Rasputin - Anastasia No time to say hello, goodbye - Alice in wonderland Inspector Gadget Blues clues Season of the witch Im no Dewey - Scream 5 The woman's an encyclopedia
Ahhhh!! I am _so_ freaking excited for you to watch *Halloween H20* as I just _know_ that you’re _really_ gonna enjoy it! Through watching all of your reactions, I get the feeling that you and I have _very_ similar taste in horror movies! (The *Scream* series is my _all time favorite_ and I’m under the impression that you feel similarly!) And, as sac religious as it may be, *Halloween H20* is actually my personal favorite out of all of the *Halloween* flicks! (With the original *Halloween* at #2 and the 2018 *Halloween* at #3!) Aaaaanyway, 😂, I’m just _hella_ pumped to watch my FAV reactor _finally_ watch my FAV *Halloween* movie!! (Once you get back from your _super deserved_ lil’ break/vacay, of course!) *YAY!!* 😁
Fun fact, in the scene where Dr Loomis is confronting Dr win in his office, there is a deleted line of dialogue in which Dr Winn explains that he was the one who taught Michael Myers how to drive. This was a call back to the scene in the first movie where the two are discussing michael myers going to haddonfield. Dr Winn says that michael doesn't even know how to drive, to which Dr Loomis responds that he (Michael) was doing pretty well the night before and that maybe somebody gave him lessons. Well it was revealed that it was Dr Winn all along.
Great reaction! I It's so gratifying to see you work through the entire series, although I was bummed out for you that you ended up with this version. I have only seen the theatrical version, which is significantly different and a huge improvement. They remove some of the cult malarkey, streamline the plot, and most of all, include the epic fight scene between Paul Rudd and Michael Myers! You won't believe how that goes down or who wins! Please try to see the theatrical release - I saw it in the theatres and own the DVD and I think you'll have a much better experience.
Just got on here to see if you had uploaded this video yet. And yes you did! I've waited all weekend because this is the one Halloween movie I've really wanted to see your reaction to. This one just went completely off the rails with the storyline.
The producers cut was brilliant. Loved it and the whole cult of thorn story. This film ties into the original Halloween book. And if you pay close attention in the original Dr Wynn was in it and it teased that he taught Michael to drive a vehicle. This film ties everything together.
I'm so glad you watched the producer's cut of this movie! It was so much better---especially that moment when it's revealed that Michael(!) is the father of Jamie's baby.
Hey Alanda! I highly recommend you watching the theatrical cut. I like the producers cut too...but mainly just because of the use of the classic John Carpenter music. I think you should definitely watch the theatrical cut before H20...I just think it's better as far as less of a magical kind of deal. And the kills are more violent! I've always has a sweet spot for CURSE though. It definitely holds the Haddonfield "feel" to it. And I dig Michael's mask in it. No spoilers here but while alot of people like HALLOWEEN H20, I feel its OKAY. I remember CURSE was the first HALLOWEEN I got to experience in theatres...followed by H20 of course. H20 is the shortest one, and there it just feels a bit undecided, as in the different masks that's used (even a digital one at one point!) but it's good in it's own right. The return of Laurie being the highlight. Oh if you wanna watch one more thing before H20, I recommend PSYCHO (1960) if you haven't seen it. It stars Janet Leigh (Jamie Lee Curtis' mother) an there's a bit of an easter egg in H20 (also starring Janet Leigh). Plus Alfred Hitchcock's PSYCHO paved the road for many, such as HALLOWEEN, FRIDAY THE 13TH and many more films of that genre. It's black and white, but trust me, it won't take a thing away grom the film. In fact, it adds to the experience. Anyways, love your videos! Definitely watch H6 the theatrical though. There's ALOT of difference in the story. I personally like it more! Have a good week resting! You BETTER upload a video with your HALLOWEEN ENDS reaction girl! Pretty cool it's the first one you'll see in cinemas! 🔪🎃
Late night spookies!! My favorite!! God I can't wait till we get thru this original continuity so we can see you react to the most modern timeline they're doing currently. I gotta see the reaction to the *incomparable* Straud women.
I'm so proud of you for getting to this monumental moment, you will not be disappointed with H20! Just some good ole fashion '90s slasher Halloween! Just be forewarned, enjoy the hell out of it, because Halloween Resurrection is a full on shit show! 😂 Sending all the hugs! 🤗❤
I like H20 but it has its problems (the masks) and how much elements it has from scream especially an Easter egg that shows up which made the movie not canon cause of how impossible it exists in the Halloween universe (I’m sure you can guess what I mean hopefully but keeping it vague to not spoil it but it was a movie they watched). For me H20 is when Laurie actually became a final girl cause Ms thing was crying most of the time in the original and Halloween 2.
@@BrandonJames2016 I definitely agree, H20 had it's flaws. I just feel she will enjoy it more then the last few, she also loves 90's slashers. So the Scream influence is definitely correct. 😁
@@charles6990 the scream elements are so distracting in the movie (the music is literally screams theme music) for me personally cause that’s my favorite franchise and hearing the score used in a Halloween movie is so ew like I wanna hear the Halloween score in a Halloween movie. Trust me I like the movie too cause the 80’s and 90’s are my favorite era of horror. She’s definitely gonna like it more than 5 and 6 cause for me Halloween 4 is better in than H20 I’ve mainly grown up watching the thorn trilogy instead of Jamie’s movies so I always thought Jamie Loyd was the better character of the two cause I’m more invested in the child of Laurie who has to face her uncle with true trauma compared to Laurie who’s mainly crying/doing nothing in the original two movies.
I didn't know there were 2 different versions of Halloween 6😮 The one that I own (on vhs) Jamie doesn't die in the hospital, Michael killed her in the beginning at the barn. It's so weird watching this with different scenes all these years later.
I do love this film, certainly much more than the next 4 that were made, but personally i prefer the theatrical release. Jamie had a great early death on farm machinery, John Strode's death was extended to show his head explode, and the entire final act was different and in my opinion better. One thing thankfully they didn't mess with in this cut is one of my favourite scenes where Kara is on the phone to her friend over the road and witnesses her murder. I also think Marianne Hagan who plays Kara did a wonderful job and is a very underrated final girl.
A mother trying to protect her child from a shitty situation is a very refreshing take on the final girl, and Tommy in this movie did the “traumatized after the events of 1978 and obsessed” long before 2018.
Lol. You have horrible taste if you prefer this over the next 4 excluding resurrection that is. H2O was awesome and Halloween 2018 was a masterpiece. Halloween Kills wasn't the greatest but it was a hell of a lot better than this.
@@mattbudesa6351 Halloween 6 is an actual Halloween movie. It's a stalker slasher it has the Halloween atmosphere and style and it's storyline is actually about what Michael is and why he kills just like the original (hell, if you just look at the first 2 thirds of Halloween 6 it's remarkably similar to the original). H20 is a Scream clone, that's just a fact. Resurrection is an of it's time typical slasher comedy, not incompetent but easily the most pointless out of place Halloween movie. Both Zombie movies are very well done from a technical perspective but totally ditch the things that made Halloween, Halloween (no Halloween atmosphere or style, totally removed the supernatural element that was the core of the original movie's mystery). Then 2018 is a typical of it's time slasher/drama with an emphasis on the action, to the point that it also barely feels like a Halloween movie (still no Halloween atmosphere or style, totally removed the mystery element and connections to Halloween folklore again, more action drama than slasher). Kills and Ends are both, like 2018, barely even slasher movies let alone Halloween movies. People go on and on about 6 not being in the spirit of the franchise or being incompetent just because of the cult. But 6 is a technically well done movie (alright it's editing and re-writes aren't great but both cuts are very watchable and the cinematography, acting, pacing and so on are all well done) and 6 for the majority of it's runtime is very much like the original movie. It does a very similar Halloween themed stalker slasher as the original did, with similar styles of shots and cinematography and a similar focus on build up and suspense. 2018 and H20 do none of this. Kills and Ends do even less of this than 2018 or H20.
I still can NOT believe that it's implied that Michael is the father of Jaime's baby🤢🤢🤢 which is one of the reasons why I've never seen the Thorn Trilogy other then your reactions
Can't stand when the hipster audience give content creators like Alanda bad advice cause whoever said she should watch the Producers cut over the Theatrical version shouldn't have, nevertheless great reaction as always, thank you, looking forward to H2O 🙏
imdb said “Danielle Harris wanted to reclaim her role as Jamie, but turned it down when Dimension Films refused to pay her the $5,000 she wanted. Harris stated in an interview that when her agent learned that filmmakers were looking to cast an actress who was at least 18 or older to play Jamie in this film, she was only 17 but she still wanted to do the movie. Therefore, at the suggestion of filmmakers, she got herself legally emancipated from her parents so that she could work longer hours without having to go to school. Harris spent time and thousands of dollars on the legal process, but ultimately turned down the film due to her dissatisfaction with her character's story and Dimension's refusal to pay her a salary that would have recovered her legal fees. Harris also stated that she eventually met and befriended J.C. Brandy, who took over the role of Jamie in the film and was treated poorly on the set because of the recast.” :( wow
I'd say in your own time do check out the other version of this movie as they do have different things going for them and not just added scenes or anything. Parts of the narrative are different, the endings have very different outcomes. The editing is different and music. I believe one of them has gorier special effects than the other but I don't remember which one.
I think you made the right choice picking the Producer's Cut, but honestly the differences between the two versions are so wild I'd still say it's worth watching them both just for that (and the Fred Flintstone dad gets a much more satisfying death in the Theatrical Cut, too).
You can tell Mr Rudd was straight out of drama school studying Shakespeare with the accent he has sometimes in these early roles 😭😭
Alanda: "Who fathered the CHILD?!"
Me: "Guuuuuuuuuurl... Don't ask."
In the theatrical release, the killings are more crazy. And the woman playing Kara looks EXACTLY like the woman that played Ms. Honey in Matilda. I like both versions of this
lmao the guy getting electrocuted has his whole HEAD explode, it's so extra
I’m totally in the minority I think who actually prefers the theatrical cut. I have always found the Producers Cut to be reeeally silly.
@@JerkyPuck is this the producers cut?
you've seen matilda? cool
Yeah the killings are more gory in the theatrical version
I’m glad I don’t have anyone in my life that hates me as much as the Halloween franchise hated Jamie Lloyd
Exactly. I still can't believe it. And if Danielle Harris had played Jamie in this movie, it would have been very powerful. She was honestly thrown away in favor of this silly cult plot.
And now you've met me. You have a 10 month head start

“Jinkies, bitch…” 😂😆💀
Love that you’re going in chronological/release order! Most excited that you’ll be at H20 next!! My personal fav out of the entire franchise 🔥🔥 can’t wait
The directors cut and theatrical cut are like two different movies. I've never seen a bigger difference in cuts.
I’d argue the two cuts of Zombie’s Halloween II is a pretty close comparison
Well, there is no director’s cut really. It is the producer’s cut and the theatrical cut. I’ve been a fan of the theatrical cut since it came out back in 95. I was renting the VHS tape for like a month straight every weekend.
The producer’s cut has moments, but overall, it isn’t as exciting as the theatrical cut to me.
@@NickNutjob there is also the television cut of Halloween II 😁.
@@richardstange5939 that’s just a bunch of fluff scenes added back onto a fluff movie lol. It didn’t really change anything about the story aside from Jimmy being in the ambulance
@@NickNutjob Yeah. But the producer's cut shits on Myers' character and the lore of the franchise.
“You went from this to Clueless?”
Literally yes. Paul Rudd filmed Halloween 6 first but Clueless got released theatrically first. Loomis became Michael’s protector ironically at the end. Next is H20 my 2nd favorite sequel. Since you love Scream, you’ll love H20 since it was inspired by it and Kevin Williamson had some involvement in the story
I watched H2O recently and was surprised by how poorly it held up. I remember really liking it as a kid but maybe that's just because it was so pop culture savvy with its casting at the time. Didn't enjoy it on the rewatch.
H2O was bad when it came out& still is. Doesn't mean u can't like it, but I thought it was such a disappointment after being so excited to see it back in '98...& hasn't gotten better w/time for me. Real piece of doodie that one. I didn't like 'H6' when it came out either, but enjoy it now. And the radio personality guy or maybe it was like reality tv🤔...Idk...but that blonde haired dude was kinda hot.
H2O is a lot of fun. I see people complain about it, but I’m not sure why. It’s probably the best of the bunch, next to the original & maybe Halloween II.
H20 is kinda ruined for me because the guy who plays Michael is absolutely horrible and I can’t explain why
She’s probably already seen it before but I can’t wait for her to see that ending
Fun Facts:
It was the Cult twist in the film that convinced Donald Pleasence to sign back on calling it the best script he has read since the first movie.
This was what was originally set to get released in theaters. However because the test screening fared poorly among a group of 14 year old boys. This led to several reshoots. None of the reshoots would involve Dr. Loomis because Donald Pleasence died after initial production concluded. This led to a worse version of the film being released where characters screen time was cut and several plot points you see here would be taken out so if you had seen the theatrical version first you wouldn't know what was going on.
Danielle Harris turned down the part due to both money issues and unhappiness with her character's mistreatment. In fact, Harris wasn't even considered to return at all as they were looking for an actress 18 or older for the part of Jamie and Danielle was 17 at the time. One of the special features in the Blu Ray is an interview with Danielle as she talked about everything she went through to try to get the part.
JC Brandi (who played Jamie here) also faced backlash from angry fans accusing her of stealing the part of Jamie from Danielle which caused Danielle to come to JC's aide standing up for JC. Danielle and JC would become good friends as a result of all this.
While Halloween fans and and Critics panned both versions of the film, almost everyone agreed that The Producers Cut was actually a movie and a better product.
Someone already pointed out Donald Pleasence screen time being cut due to the director finding Donald Pleasence to be boring. And the director was an idiot.
Yes they thought the best character in the original timeline was too boring so they clearly have shit taste
That convinced him? Pleasence has said for several years before he passed how he hoped they do 30 more, and he'd love to be in them. Everything else is true, good stuff as many get so much wrong lol.
There's huge flaws with every version of this movie. No amount of playing around with footage or editing changes the fact that the film lacks interesting characters, and has a lousy premise (they've drifted so, so far away from the simplicity of the original in which Micheal Meyers represented almost an elemental sort of evil, looming over everything, ready to strike).
The Weinstein brothers were the main issue with the movie and fucking everything up and that’s insane that moustapha may he Rest In Peace let a director who didn’t know what he was doing still film cause I would’ve fired !!
@@jenniferbayarea5748 Weinstein were the main issue, but akkad is a greedy fucker that never cared how the movies turned out, as long as he kept the rights, and they kept pumping money into his pockets. Look at H5 it came out a year after H4, and the only reason why it was rushed (and it was) was because akkad was gonna lose the rights if he didn't make one that quickly. He never cared how horribly H5 came out as long as he kept the rights, and H5 is much worse than this one.
"They could not have beat the shit out of this character anymore."
They did in the theatrical cut.
At this point, I applaud how much you have held on while dealing with Micheal's bulls**t.
And holding on to this franchise as it warps through madness
@@LCTmusic683 And she still has Resurrection and Rob Zombies Halloween 2 to get through... it's not an easy franchise to be a fan of.

“Take that baby to the hospital.” The queen is back!!!!🤎❤️
"Ms. Blankenship, you nasty b*tch!" HAHAHA Has got to be my favorite line of this video. I had to pause the video because I was cackling for a minute straight. LOVE you, miss thing.
Paul Rudd NEVER ages! He must've found the Fountain of Youth, or has some type of voodoo magic spell that cause him to NEVER age! Also, watching your reaction whilst typing this, girl! Love ya!
@James Webb and Willem Dafoe. He looks like he just walked off the "Spider-Man" set from 2002.
@James Webb and Will Smith/Chris Rock lol
It's called ADRENOCHROME
Better hope that Chucky doll don't find out
❤
"Girl, follow the Blue's clues..." 🤣🤣🤣 Rewatching your reviews always highlights your comic genius for me
A few stray thoughts: Every time you asked who the baby's father is, I would shake my head and say, "oh, honey, I'm so sorry." Jamie deserved better; poor kid just had the worst life. But the look of pure "...wut" on your face when the movie cut to black was gold! 😂 The theatrical version is worth a look, if only because the abusive dad gets a much more satisfying death in that version. It's a bit of a wash quality wise, but they are very different films. Lastly, a personal note you might appreciate, but whenever I watch this movie I'm always mentally shipping Kara and Beth, in part because Beth's relationship with Tim gives me such a comphet vibe.
"Get me a doctor NOW!!!" Paul Rudd's delivery of that line killed me. Too funny.😂
Basically at the end, Michael was lose again and Doctor Loomis was cursed with Thorn meaning he was cursed to look after Michael. Donald Pleasence died shortly after filming finished on this film and they didn’t feel they could continue that storyline so they reshot a LOT and changed the ending completely. Believe it or not, this makes way more sense than the theatrical cut haha
Also I loved the Bob the Drag Queen reference “walk into that room WEAPON FIRST” 😂😂 good stuff as always.
Been watching Alanda for a while now and i really just have to say i never get tired of her reactions. She’s always so honest & candid. Happy to see so many people coming back to support this black queen
I can’t express the amount of joy I feel whenever I see a new post!!! I’m truly gonna miss next weekend. But our girl needs a break! I can’t til you get to Halloween (2018), Friday the 13th parts 3 & 4, Curse of Chucky (stay tuned for post-credit scene), and New Nightmare 💜
And don’t forget the Halloween H20 timeline!
Agreed.

The best way to watch lol
Smokin is a must
Baby girl, mama, the queen, miss alanda I sincerely need you to know , you keep me going. Haven't even started the video yet but looking forward to any of your videos has honestly kept me alive
You're watching the Director's Cut, the theatrical cut was noticeably different. The theatrical version is worth seeing because it takes a radical turn in the final act. Curious as to what you'd think about it in comparison with this. It's been a matter of hot debate among fans of the series.
Halloween 6 is a very troubled film, but it did one thing very well - it captured the atmosphere of autumn. After all these years, only Halloween 4 and Halloween 6 really got the cold, dark, eerie quality of autumn. Even the first film, owing to being filmed in California, didn't capture that vibe. Of course, the first movie got everything else right! You'll love H20. Even taking into account the new films with Jamie Lee Curtis, her performance in H20 was perfect.
Jamie’s death in the theatrical cut is even more disrespectful!
When you get a chance you should watch the theatrical version, a lot of the scenes are different, there’s no magic or incest, the score and the ending is different.
Also., John, the a-hole father, he gets it A LOT better in the theatrical cut. 😁
@@richardstange5939 right! That was one of the best kills lol
I convinced my friends in college to go see this when it opened in theaters. I nearly lost my movie picking privileges for the rest of my college days. And yes, the theatrical version is waaaaayyyy different than the version you watched but I really don’t care for either. The whole cult storyline I thought was not at all in the spirit of the franchise.
I have to agree I like the producers cut only for the missing scenes and stuff that makes sense for a little bit but the theatrical cut had good scenes as well
I would’ve quit if I was part of making this movie it was such a hot mess and we all know who to blame aka
The predator of the me too movement
I just cried happy tears! Thank you for continuing with this series. You are so much fun Alanda
This was the first Halloween that I was old enough to see in the theatre, so there's enough nostalgia here that I can overlook the messy plot.
Great to see the amazing Mitch Ryan (Dr Wynn) who sadly passed away earlier this year.
Seeing as this is from 1995, the biggest fright this movie delivers is seeing how poorly I'm aging compared to Paul Rudd.
Yes!! Such a fun watch…I rarely see someone watch/review the producers cut. Can’t wait for H2O…I feel you’ll dig it way more than 5 & 6. Enjoy your rest, Alanda!! You deserve it 😊 Thanks again for the great content!!
I think Halloween 4 is definitely one of the stand out sequels in the franchise.
H20 is a movie that has grown on me over the years. Initially I hated it, except for LL COOL J who was hilarious in it. Part of it drag, but it's an interesting take on Laurie and a bit of a character study on the long term effects of PTSD. For what it is, it's a fun romp. Certainly better than 6
@@richardstange5939 I agree…it put it back on track
@@williamskelton325 Although I’ve never hated this movie, I agree that it’s an interesting take on Laurie’s PTSD
H20 is one of the best along with the first two when it comes to the original time line I do like 4 and 5 they’re fun to watch it’s just good ‘ol nostalgia of being a child coming home from school on Halloween part 4-5 playing in the background while getting dressed up for a spooky night 👻
H4, 5, & 6 are the main Halloween movies I watched as a kid but the H6 mask was the most terrifying mainly because it was the closest to the original and he was vicious af in this movie. I can’t wait for your reaction to H20!! That was basically the Scream version of Halloween.
I'm loving these reactions. I always think it's a bit of a shame when people say you should skip sequels and only watch some. A reaction to a bad movie can be just as entertaining as a reaction to a good one. And you got the zingers to match! You could totally host Mystery Science Theater 3000.
OMG!
I never saw this version.
The one I saw cuts out with an image of the hospital then screaming.
Then them driving off in the Jeep
I NEVER knew the power of the Thorn was transferred to Dr. Loomis
😱😱😱😱😱😱
In the movie release, his screams is all you hear.
There's also the whole running through the underground scene that doesn't seem to be here.
The ritual?
That's NOT in the original movie.
In that one they were in a nursery hospital wing and had the baby in an organ holder.
I LOVED this one SO MUCH MORE!
The scariest thing about these hilarious reaction videos, is doing the math and realizing how old I was when these movies came out!!
This cut and the theatrical are significantly different. This film went through production hell thanks to the Weinstein's. I would watch that cut as well to compare the two although the only redeemable part of that cut is how the father dies (same way but you see him suffer and his head explodes).
Jamie’s death was a brutal way to go compared to the lame death in the producers cut. Cause if you are gonna kill off a legacy character you gotta do that with a bang and that farm machine kill oof.
Jamie is wasted in the theatrical cut and her death is excessive, Loomis's role is trimmed down because the director found Donald's acting boring, it's edited in a really obnoxious way and major plot points are changed or removed. Somehow this cut makes even less sense.
@@BrandonJames2016 Story wise it makes more sense though. And since it’s not Danielle it doesn’t feel like a legacy character anyway.
@@radioactive_moose excessive or not it was a great kill which isn’t a negative in my eyes. Still the character itself is a legacy character maybe not the actress who plays her but the character is and the death of Jamie in the theatrical cut was sm better than the producers cut. The kills in the theatrical cut entertain and save the movie for me especially without focusing on the cult side.
I also liked the chase scene and the doctor massacre in the theatrical cut.
OMG! Yes The Halloween series! Nothing makes me happier than when you watch this series! I feel bad that I didn’t watch your last reaction but I’ve been having the hardest time just waking up in the morning. (I’m not saying this to say oh boo me but life hasn’t been the same these last almost two weeks. It feels hard to want to do anything after my brother was shot & killed for no reason two weeks ago.) but thank you for always being here with your positive energy and glow. It’s very much needed during a dark time like this even tho we are watching a horror movie at the same time. I appreciate you and the work you put into giving us great content. Xoxo! 💛
So very sorry for your loss. I too lost a brother for simply no reason as well. Im going on 18 years and he is still sorely missed and it still hurts me hurts as if it was yesterday 💔😥 my brother was 21 and I was 16 at the time.... so many years lost/stolen from him and my family.
@@Kriissttaccyy09 I’m sorry love for your loss. Can I ask how did you learn to cope with such a loss?? Some days I feel like my heart is too broken to handle this level of pain. My brother was 10 years older than me and I viewed him as my protector. It feels like a piece of me is gone.
@@MsSASSILYLilOrphandAnGelA I took the long way to get to where I am. There was 5 years between my brother and I and he was the oldest. My brother was my best friend ...my secret keeper.. my ride or die... After his death there has been a hole inside me that no drink or drug was able to fill. Still to this very day the hole is still there but I remind myself of all of our good memories.. keep his memory alive for my daughter who never was able to meet her. However, I also find some comfort knowing my first child that passed is now with him and he's keeping her until its my time to go... at least this is what I choose to believe and that was a reason he had to go was to be there and ready for waiting on his niece. I know to some that might sound foolish but it keeps me less bitter than I was before..
I am so sorry about your brother.
incredibly sorry for your loss. ❤️
I never cared much for the whole Thorn and cult plotline, but one thing I am 100% in agreement with is that poor Jamie deserved better. I wouldn't be mad if they did another timeline in the future that featured Jamie going up against her Uncle Boogeyman and finally defeating him, and gets that happiness that the Thorn plot ripped away from her. As long as it's done right, of course.
This is one of my absolute favorite Halloween movies, especially the theatrical cut.
Alanda, who fathered the child? (6:30). Sadly, Michael Myers, her uncle is the father... Yeah, while this movie isn't as bad as Rob Zombie's crap, this movie really went off the rails. Which is why H20 just goes back to the original 2. Also, fun fact, Dr. Wynn (Man in black) was actually the doctor in the original film who asked how Michael learned how to drive (not the same actor, same character)
Halloween 5 director really messed everything up because he introduced a lot of these cult ideas. He hadn't seen the previous films and wanted to try something new and it led to... this.
Rob zombies are good asf..way better then resurrection
Rob Zombie's Halloween 2 (the Director's Cut) is a masterpiece!
This movie went down an insane rabbit hole that should have been left alone. It had its good points, such as the return of Tommy to the franchise and a very good, final performance from Donald Pleasance (RIP)
But otherwise this was just a mess.
@@justvibin7883 Resurrection did suck, but I couldn't get past the fingering of the bagel in H1 and H2, he freaking spoke... WTF?
@@mr.vincentvega2462 You're not supposed to drink the bong water.
I always love the lack of continuity between this one and the first one. Either Michael is a speed demon, or he teleported those 150 miles from Haddonfield to Smith’s Grove 💀 great vid Alanda! Your commentary is always on point 💯
This movie was Donald Pleasances's final role before he died, that final scream from Dr Loomis was his final voice line ever recorded on film, and it was in this movie, just think about that. They really should have went with the Micheal Myers being some Silver Shamrock android gone amuck, to explain all of this, dude was invincible like a Terminator at this point
Believe it or not, this is my second favorite one. It does what none of the others did and explained the cause of Michael's evil and power.
i’m so proud of you for continuing these franchises!!
Dr.Loomis is just such a reassuring presence throughout the series (well except 5 lol) and really made these movies elevated and special.
I still can’t believe that Michael was the baby daddy 😱🤦🏼♀️🤮👎🏻
Very excited for you to watch H20! Also, you have a beautiful voice, and I loved your excerpts from "The Greatest Showman" in the 2 vids before this.
Speaking of music - you'll probably recognize that at least 2 scenes in H20 are exact copies of the score from Scream! Same composer, and I thought it was a nice touch.
"For all we know the infant has picked up a butcher knife and started stabbing ms blackenship"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Girl I cannot. You made a movie I do not generally enjoy so much fun with your commentary
Halloween 6 -- the Producer's Cut -- is way better than it should be considering the script went through between 9 to 11 drafts, each of which progressively treats Jamie more and more like yesterday's garbage while cramming in a wide variety of subplots and characters that all tie back to the original film. As other comments will affirm, the autumnal vibes are immaculate, the performances are all quite good in this cut, and George P. Wilbur returns from Halloween 4 with his second solid performance as The Shape.
This is definitely the most ambitious Halloween film. It attempts, without a trace of camp, a lot of good ideas that could individually work but ultimately undermine any clarity or direction the plot may have had. I like most of the individual scenes but the end result is so muddled. No draft of the script ever manages to commit to *why* poor Jamie has to be impregnated if the cult's dastardly plot is actually to pass the curse from Michael to Danny, with Michael killing his final relative and Danny killing Kara. Plus, Michael seemingly steals the kills that should logically be Danny's, leaving Danny with just the one victim? The exposition dumps also fail to account for the reality that Michael is always a standard-issue serial killer despite all his supernatural flourishes -- he enjoys tormenting his main target with his tricks and treats even if he is also in some way empowered by the ancient blood magic of the Druids. I love the concept of an old friend of Loomis turning out to be a mastermind that makes him Michael's protector, but again, there are too many players that clearly play key roles that are never properly clarified to the viewer.
Halloween 5 & 6 are a sadly abandoned experiment in trying to make the world of Halloween bigger and more interesting than the very simple, focused slashers of Halloween 1, 2, and 4. The series may have some better movies to come, but it never attempts this kind of serialized, interconnected storytelling again. RIP Jamie Lloyd Carruthers; you deserved better.
Also as someone who got into the Halloween series around 2007, I need to acknowledge the miracle that the Producer's Cut actually has an official release, something the fanbase thought would never happen!
People who love Scream 3 the most also love H2O the most of this franchise... It's me, I'm people. It's that late 90's early 00's vibes I can't live without.
Hi Alanda. I don’t know if you’ll ever see this. But I figured I’d give a shot at an explanation.
So, in this timeline, this initially wasn’t supposed to be the finale. This movie was just another sequel. However, when early screenings got REALLY bad reviews, the movie was drastically changed. However, it too got REALLY bad reviews. That’s why we have two different versions of the movie. Actually, the Producer’s Cut only got officially released fairly recently. So due to the extreme critical failure of this movie, they decided to do something completely different for the next sequel.
Seeing that it was her 20th anniversary of being in acting, Jamie Lee Curtis decided to approach John Carpenter to make a new sequel. This ultimately became Halloween: H20, which completely ignores movies 3-6 and starts a whole new timeline.
I hope you’re able to see this and that it doesn’t get lost in the comments. But I’m loving this series and I love your videos. I’m a huge fan. Love you, Dear!
6:12 I am SO relieved that I wasn't the only one that didn't get that it was supposed to be Jamie as an adult at first. BTW fun fact: Danielle Harris, who played Jamie to perfection in H4 and H5, wanted to return to the franchise with this movie but they wouldn't pay her initially or even when her team lowered the amount. Sound familiar?.......Scream 6.........
Like she even spent her own money to emancipated herself so she could work the hours. Studios are awful aren’t they?
@@duvall5jd Oh yeah! I forgot about that part!!! Such a crazy story.
Sorry you had to go through this one, but fun stuff ahead in "H20." 🍿🎃
We need a fan campaign to get you into "Scream 6" as a friend of Mindy's or a "Stab" movie reactor on UA-cam.
"Mrs. Blankenship?! You nasty bitch!" - lmao, best line! 😖
Another big W from Queen Alanda. ♥️ I'd highly recommend watching the theatrical cut to get a bigger picture of things and experience the better soundtrack and kills, or at least a UA-cam compilation of all the differences. Side Note, I'm of the very few people on Earth who rank this film and part 1 both in first place; as messy as it can be, it's not boring like some of the other ones can be and nearly itches out 1 in being scarier and nailing the spooky season vibes. 🎃
It is boring. Sorry. Flat characters and not much of a narrative flow. Being made in 1994, it suffers really badly from the sleepy downer vibe of the early 90's.
I need you to know, you get me through Mondays! I love watching your videos on my lunches, it's the perfect way to start the week
I love the Halloween series but I cannot wait until you jump back into the "Friday the 13th" series as well as "A Nightmare on Elm Street" series to see Fredrick and his shenanigans! 😂😂
The fact that Danielle Harris even got emancipated just to do this movie and didn’t even cast her is disrespectful! They did Jamie Lloyd so dirty!
Jamie and Loomis did not understand the true nature of Michael Myers. Hence why they are ultimately absorbed into the cult of Thorn. Tommy did understand the mystical nature of Myers - hence why he was able to stop Michael AND escape.
Love you Alanda!
Best part of my Sunday's, enjoy your break!!
Can't wait for the Evil Dead 2013 rection!!!
Manifesting any Evil Dead reactions!
Dude! I look for your comment every week now, the dedication of a true fan
OOH I am so excited that H20 is next, it's probably my favorite sequel in the series!
Alanda when you said, "She kinda has a Winona Ryder thing" I literally yelled because I kept having that same energy too!! She kinda looks like Winona too to be honest.
Gonna be honest, I find the producer's cut more decent. Like that's a film I'm willing to rewatch.
I’ve watched this video a hundred times now and I’m JUST NOW noticing that this is the alternate version with a different death for Jamie than the one I’ve seen.
I love horror and your personality, these videos are heaven when I'm super stressed. also, I love me some daddy mikey
"I was distracted by the Ant Man of it all" same lmao SAME
When there is no more room in hell, Michael walks the earth.
R.I.P Donald Pleasance
that's all i can say about this movie.
honestly, he carried both cuts of this 'all-over-the-place' movie
First off, I adore you and love watching your vids each Sunday! I’m always looking forward to what we’re watching next! Especially when it’s horror! The theatrical version of H6 is better IMO.. I’d watching that one too on your own time if you’d like. H4 & H20 are my fave Halloween sequels. I know you’ll love H20. It came out around the scream era and was even written by Kevin Williamson! It’s such a fun ride! Anyway, I hope you enjoy your time off! We can’t wait to watch more with you! Peace & love! 💛✌🏾:)
i am SO ready for the 90s and 2000s era sequels omfg it's gonna be iconic!
Always thought this movie was a mess lmao
We go from a standard masked serial killer, to a vaguely supernatural masked serial killer, to a whole-ass centuries-old cult?? Absurdities abound.
I'm just glad H20 does away with that whole continuity and brings it back to a generally simpler story, can't wait to see your reaction to it!
Keep in mind that the Celtic curse angle was used in the novelization of the first Halloween. That being said, the way that Part 6 handles this angle is beyond aggravating and actively diminishes the character of Michael Meyers.
@@ryanjacobson2508 They could've omitted the curse altogether, it's not as though they *had* to acknowledge what the novelization set up. If they had to, some vague implication would've been more effective, rather than de-mystify Michael completely.
Still, this movie is at least better than Resurrection lmao

Through watching all of your reactions, I get the feeling that you and I have _very_ similar taste in horror movies! (The *Scream* series is my _all time favorite_ and I’m under the impression that you feel similarly!)
And, as sac religious as it may be, *Halloween H20* is actually my personal favorite out of all of the *Halloween* flicks! (With the original *Halloween* at #2 and the 2018 *Halloween* at #3!)
Aaaaanyway, 😂, I’m just _hella_ pumped to watch my FAV reactor _finally_ watch my FAV *Halloween* movie!! (Once you get back from your _super deserved_ lil’ break/vacay, of course!) *YAY!!* 😁
Fun fact, in the scene where Dr Loomis is confronting Dr win in his office, there is a deleted line of dialogue in which Dr Winn explains that he was the one who taught Michael Myers how to drive. This was a call back to the scene in the first movie where the two are discussing michael myers going to haddonfield. Dr Winn says that michael doesn't even know how to drive, to which Dr Loomis responds that he (Michael) was doing pretty well the night before and that maybe somebody gave him lessons. Well it was revealed that it was Dr Winn all along.
I CANNOT tell you how excited I am for Halloween H20. I have been waiting for this moment since I watched your first Halloween reaction. 🎃🔪
“ what are you singing little creepo?” And caling mom Velma, took me out. I think this is the only one I’ve never seen before. Love your reviews💙
Great reaction! I It's so gratifying to see you work through the entire series, although I was bummed out for you that you ended up with this version. I have only seen the theatrical version, which is significantly different and a huge improvement. They remove some of the cult malarkey, streamline the plot, and most of all, include the epic fight scene between Paul Rudd and Michael Myers! You won't believe how that goes down or who wins! Please try to see the theatrical release - I saw it in the theatres and own the DVD and I think you'll have a much better experience.
“Is Michael the towel girl?”😂
Just got on here to see if you had uploaded this video yet. And yes you did! I've waited all weekend because this is the one Halloween movie I've really wanted to see your reaction to. This one just went completely off the rails with the storyline.
The producers cut was brilliant. Loved it and the whole cult of thorn story.
This film ties into the original Halloween book. And if you pay close attention in the original Dr Wynn was in it and it teased that he taught Michael to drive a vehicle. This film ties everything together.
Great reaction as always but sis this story was creepy af and was so mind boggling at times!! Your reactions were on point!!!
I'm so glad you watched the producer's cut of this movie! It was so much better---especially that moment when it's revealed that Michael(!) is the father of Jamie's baby.
I'm sorry it's better and for that reason ? No ma'am
Hey Alanda! I highly recommend you watching the theatrical cut. I like the producers cut too...but mainly just because of the use of the classic John Carpenter music. I think you should definitely watch the theatrical cut before H20...I just think it's better as far as less of a magical kind of deal. And the kills are more violent! I've always has a sweet spot for CURSE though. It definitely holds the Haddonfield "feel" to it. And I dig Michael's mask in it. No spoilers here but while alot of people like HALLOWEEN H20, I feel its OKAY. I remember CURSE was the first HALLOWEEN I got to experience in theatres...followed by H20 of course. H20 is the shortest one, and there it just feels a bit undecided, as in the different masks that's used (even a digital one at one point!) but it's good in it's own right. The return of Laurie being the highlight. Oh if you wanna watch one more thing before H20, I recommend PSYCHO (1960) if you haven't seen it. It stars Janet Leigh (Jamie Lee Curtis' mother) an there's a bit of an easter egg in H20 (also starring Janet Leigh). Plus Alfred Hitchcock's PSYCHO paved the road for many, such as HALLOWEEN, FRIDAY THE 13TH and many more films of that genre. It's black and white, but trust me, it won't take a thing away grom the film. In fact, it adds to the experience. Anyways, love your videos! Definitely watch H6 the theatrical though. There's ALOT of difference in the story. I personally like it more! Have a good week resting! You BETTER upload a video with your HALLOWEEN ENDS reaction girl! Pretty cool it's the first one you'll see in cinemas! 🔪🎃
Late night spookies!! My favorite!! God I can't wait till we get thru this original continuity so we can see you react to the most modern timeline they're doing currently. I gotta see the reaction to the *incomparable* Straud women.
I'm so proud of you for getting to this monumental moment, you will not be disappointed with H20! Just some good ole fashion '90s slasher Halloween! Just be forewarned, enjoy the hell out of it, because Halloween Resurrection is a full on shit show! 😂 Sending all the hugs! 🤗❤
I like H20 but it has its problems (the masks) and how much elements it has from scream especially an Easter egg that shows up which made the movie not canon cause of how impossible it exists in the Halloween universe (I’m sure you can guess what I mean hopefully but keeping it vague to not spoil it but it was a movie they watched). For me H20 is when Laurie actually became a final girl cause Ms thing was crying most of the time in the original and Halloween 2.
@@BrandonJames2016 I definitely agree, H20 had it's flaws. I just feel she will enjoy it more then the last few, she also loves 90's slashers. So the Scream influence is definitely correct. 😁
@@charles6990 the scream elements are so distracting in the movie (the music is literally screams theme music) for me personally cause that’s my favorite franchise and hearing the score used in a Halloween movie is so ew like I wanna hear the Halloween score in a Halloween movie. Trust me I like the movie too cause the 80’s and 90’s are my favorite era of horror. She’s definitely gonna like it more than 5 and 6 cause for me Halloween 4 is better in than H20 I’ve mainly grown up watching the thorn trilogy instead of Jamie’s movies so I always thought Jamie Loyd was the better character of the two cause I’m more invested in the child of Laurie who has to face her uncle with true trauma compared to Laurie who’s mainly crying/doing nothing in the original two movies.
Come on now. Jamie Lee Curtis is the face of the entire franchise! There's no comparison.
I didn't know there were 2 different versions of Halloween 6😮 The one that I own (on vhs) Jamie doesn't die in the hospital, Michael killed her in the beginning at the barn. It's so weird watching this with different scenes all these years later.
I love binge watching your reactions!
"Girl, follow the blues clues."
One of the best lines I've ever heard.
😅😂🥰
I do love this film, certainly much more than the next 4 that were made, but personally i prefer the theatrical release. Jamie had a great early death on farm machinery, John Strode's death was extended to show his head explode, and the entire final act was different and in my opinion better.
One thing thankfully they didn't mess with in this cut is one of my favourite scenes where Kara is on the phone to her friend over the road and witnesses her murder.
I also think Marianne Hagan who plays Kara did a wonderful job and is a very underrated final girl.
A mother trying to protect her child from a shitty situation is a very refreshing take on the final girl, and Tommy in this movie did the “traumatized after the events of 1978 and obsessed” long before 2018.
The theatrical release is a horrible mess
Lol. You have horrible taste if you prefer this over the next 4 excluding resurrection that is. H2O was awesome and Halloween 2018 was a masterpiece. Halloween Kills wasn't the greatest but it was a hell of a lot better than this.
@@mattbudesa6351 Halloween 6 is an actual Halloween movie. It's a stalker slasher it has the Halloween atmosphere and style and it's storyline is actually about what Michael is and why he kills just like the original (hell, if you just look at the first 2 thirds of Halloween 6 it's remarkably similar to the original).
H20 is a Scream clone, that's just a fact. Resurrection is an of it's time typical slasher comedy, not incompetent but easily the most pointless out of place Halloween movie. Both Zombie movies are very well done from a technical perspective but totally ditch the things that made Halloween, Halloween (no Halloween atmosphere or style, totally removed the supernatural element that was the core of the original movie's mystery).
Then 2018 is a typical of it's time slasher/drama with an emphasis on the action, to the point that it also barely feels like a Halloween movie (still no Halloween atmosphere or style, totally removed the mystery element and connections to Halloween folklore again, more action drama than slasher). Kills and Ends are both, like 2018, barely even slasher movies let alone Halloween movies.
People go on and on about 6 not being in the spirit of the franchise or being incompetent just because of the cult. But 6 is a technically well done movie (alright it's editing and re-writes aren't great but both cuts are very watchable and the cinematography, acting, pacing and so on are all well done) and 6 for the majority of it's runtime is very much like the original movie. It does a very similar Halloween themed stalker slasher as the original did, with similar styles of shots and cinematography and a similar focus on build up and suspense. 2018 and H20 do none of this. Kills and Ends do even less of this than 2018 or H20.
I'm so proud you've got this far. 🥰
4 is my favorite but I can't wait for you to see H20 and the new timeline.
I still can NOT believe that it's implied that Michael is the father of Jaime's baby🤢🤢🤢 which is one of the reasons why I've never seen the Thorn Trilogy other then your reactions
The thorn trilogy doesn’t really have this as a plot point until this movie
Love being apart of this journey with you.
Can't stand when the hipster audience give content creators like Alanda bad advice cause whoever said she should watch the Producers cut over the Theatrical version shouldn't have, nevertheless great reaction as always, thank you, looking forward to H2O 🙏
This was the last Halloween movie Donald Pleasence filmed before he died in 1995. RIP...
I can not wait to see H20! That movie puts the fear of "The Boogeyman" back into me! Good luck, and I hope you are doing alright and staying safe!
imdb said “Danielle Harris wanted to reclaim her role as Jamie, but turned it down when Dimension Films refused to pay her the $5,000 she wanted. Harris stated in an interview that when her agent learned that filmmakers were looking to cast an actress who was at least 18 or older to play Jamie in this film, she was only 17 but she still wanted to do the movie. Therefore, at the suggestion of filmmakers, she got herself legally emancipated from her parents so that she could work longer hours without having to go to school. Harris spent time and thousands of dollars on the legal process, but ultimately turned down the film due to her dissatisfaction with her character's story and Dimension's refusal to pay her a salary that would have recovered her legal fees. Harris also stated that she eventually met and befriended J.C. Brandy, who took over the role of Jamie in the film and was treated poorly on the set because of the recast.” :( wow
I holled when she sang " Miss Honeeey !!!" I caught that reverence LOL lol.
I'd say in your own time do check out the other version of this movie as they do have different things going for them and not just added scenes or anything. Parts of the narrative are different, the endings have very different outcomes. The editing is different and music. I believe one of them has gorier special effects than the other but I don't remember which one.
The theatrical version has better kills and a more straightforward plot.
I think you made the right choice picking the Producer's Cut, but honestly the differences between the two versions are so wild I'd still say it's worth watching them both just for that (and the Fred Flintstone dad gets a much more satisfying death in the Theatrical Cut, too).
Your commentary is priceless.
I adore the Alanda that is all love & light 💖
But bloodthirsty Alanda is GLORIOUS!!!
You watched the Producer's Cut of Halloween 6. The better version then the theatrical.
