    The moment Laurie smashes the controls on the security gate, and grabs the axe, to start going on the offensive... Shouting Michael's name... As the Halloween theme starts playing for her... I get chills every time.

      I never saw the sequel to H20 tbh - didn't realize it existed. But for 2018 it was 100% a disservice and obvious cashgrab. If you had to scrub H20 from the series, then 2018 was a great capper, and they absolutely ruined it with the non-plot sequels.

    Let’s never forget LL Cool J was the real hero of this movie. A security guard, romance writer, and POV character to acknowledge how ridiculous this whole ordeal is. I love this movie. You had Laurie, her son, Michael, and Laurie beheading tf out of her brother to break the cycle of trauma she’s burdened her kid with. It did everything the new movies did, but it didn’t have art house pretense.
    Only negative is that it didn’t push it further by referencing a daughter she maybe had to give away because she was an alcoholic mess.

    I think personally that if they had the series as 1, 2, H20, and then did the "Mike tricked her to kill someone else" thing they used in Resurrection, but used that for why Laurie was so traumatized in 2018, then had that be the final showdown, that probably would have been the perfect send off to the series, IMHO.

    H40 is still my time line. I was born in 91 and scared shitless by horror movies so I didn't see any Halloween films until about 2012. I knew Michael, who he was, and I'd tried to watch a few films but the tension of him walking down shadowed hallways with that theme song always frightened me too much. Around 2012 I finally kicked that fear and dove headlong into horror but, 2018 was the first Halloween film I saw in theaters. That, plus my love of psychological elements, skyrocketed the H40 time line to the top. I just love that they simplified Michael down to what he was in the first film. Evil. He didn't have a reason, he just was, that WAS his reason, and the H40 series put that into the spotlight. The effect that evil has, how it spreads, how it effects individuals and communities.

    Interestingly, this isn't necessarily a reboot/retcon. In the original script, there was a line that indicated the other sequels happened. Laurie faked her death and changed her identity (as still happens here), abandoned her daughter, who still died in the previous films.
    And while the abandonment and death of her daughter are not mentioned, there isn't actually anything in the movie (as far as I'm aware) which actively contradicts those sequels.

    That’s the thing about us Halloween fans we have all had our favorite timeline since h20 retconned things i think. I’ve always been a 1,2,H20 person. I think that’s why I wasn’t mad when I didn’t enjoy 18 as much as others. For me 18 is just H40. I realize not everyone is a huge fan so that might have flown over peoples heads, like how much of 18 feels like a remake of H20. But I am a huge fan and I wasn’t impressed by the story. The mask and James judge Courtney as Michael of course were great.
    I wasn’t so bothered by ends, I liked it. Once again it’s cause I’ve had my own head cannon for years so for me it was a refreshing new story. I know for people invested in the new trilogy it was very disappointing and that sucks. But to those fans or new fans I wanna say, choose ur own adventure lol. I lived through the disappointment of resurrection, I’ve been hit hard before. For me and others the solution has always been preferred timelines.

    Sorry Jeremy but idiots WILL complain that you spoiled this 24 year old movie for them. That's how the internet works.
    "Oh you spoiled this for me, you spoiled that for me, that came out 24 years ago but you still spoiled it for me WHAT Darth Vader is Luke's father how could you spoil it for me?" Ugh.

    H20 was so good at the time when Janet Leigh drove up in the psycho car and offered "Lori motherly advice", the whole theatre erupted in clapping and shouts and went wild. I watch Halloween and H20 back to back. I ignore all the others. I've seen them all but none matter at all to me but those two. And yes I saw the original in the theatre and it was beyond horrifying. Great video!!

    Halloween III is the most “Halloween” movie there is, after the original. it is the closest we got to the yearly Halloween anthology John Carpenter wanted to create. H3 is a great little movie on it’s own. Imagine the amazing horror stories we could have gotten if the studio hadn’t gotten in the way. 4 more days till Halloween…Silver Shamrock! 🎃🧙🏽💀

    H20 has some giant issues, but the opening and the ending are definitive for me. Some serious nostalgia though, I convinced my mom to let me see it when i was 14 in theaters after i had just watched the original. Hard to beat the impact of that regardless of quality

    H20 was the first Halloween movie I saw as a child. My parents had a crazy collection of vhs tapes & we went through a lot of them during a hurricane one year & H20 was in the lineup. I always loved that movie but I thought it was nostalgia goggles that made it for me. Lowkey kinda glad I wasn't wrong on that front. One of the few outliers of the black people die first trope back then. The opening with JGL & the lady leading into Loomis talking about Michael having the devil's eyes was terrifying as a kid. Given how the new trilogy went, gun to my head, I'd probably make my trilogy 1,2, & 20 Year Later. Also, total admission to the rose tinted nostalgia goggles here but I like the trainwreck that is Resurrection. I'd even say it's more fun to watch than Kills & Ends. Busta Rhymes roundhouse kicks Michael in a burning garage. It's totally bonkers. 2018 is cool. I used to watch all of them on AMC during October too so even the franchise's bad sequels have always been guilty pleasures.

    Kevin Williamson wrote the story for h20 and worked on one of the drafts so it heavily has the scream feel to it. My preferred timeline is 1 2 and 4. By the end of 4 "evil" has gone full circle. If you've seen 4 you know what I'm talking about

    I saw Halloween 2018 and thought it was good, thought it should have stopped there tho. Saw Halloween Kills and was severely disappointed. So much so I have yet to watch Halloween Ends.
