Scary stuff, but again, even if you don't like RZ (and I get that, he is not for everyone and he missed the point on Halloween completely), he did attempt to explore psychology in his two Halloween films, which is why I made the connection.
I would be outraged in the community if that happened to mine! But still, I'm sure that guy who was released was probably pretty damn persuasive to the docs before release!
I can't tell how I feel about that! On the one hand, it is definitely interesting and innovative. But, I don't think it would fit the "evil" mold that Carpenter was trying to convey. Evil cannot be rehabilitated.
Please don't be offended by this, but I feel like that would have fit RZ's version of the series pretty well. He tried to explore the psychology of Myers more, so I think that could have made for a very interesting take in that world more than the Carpenter world of Halloween.
Yes, that's sorta what it looks like. Laurie will now play the Loomis character and be after Michael for revenge.
Oh I do remember them well. I may have been quieter than many on that board, but I was there. And I'm not so confident that he isn't lurking around somewhere!
Careful, he may come back! Don't say his name 3 times!!!
Agreed. I always like references in movies anyway, so this helps. I still worry about ignoring the sequels though. Why is Michael notorious for killing 4 people? Seems a bit convenient, I guess... If even one of the sequels was used, the body count goes up much further and makes him more memorable, especially in the eyes of 2018!
I know people are complaining about showing Michael too much, but I think the new trailer was awesome and can't wait for the film! Note that the woman in the trailer allegedly killed with the hammer was dressed as Ms. Elrod too, curlers and all!
While I agree enough with this, here is my issue: why does anyone care about a killer who has 4 murders to his name (note in the trailer they say he killed 3 on halloween night, when he really killed 4, plus Judith, '78)? Eliminating Halloween 2 does have the problem of taking away some of his backstory in that he has fewer bodies to his name, so why would anyone then care about him enough to visit his mental institution (per the trailer)?
I I just hope this is the last time. Not to say I want the character dead, but I wouldn't mind seeing the series either end or go in a new direction for another film. We need to end the original storyline at this point. I love the series and all, and I have high expectations for this one after the trailers, but we need to end this run. I'm happy to have one more go at this timeline, for sure, but we need to end it.
I do love the shout-out in the trailers (at least) with the big 3, that's right, 3 halloween masks to choose from!
Mister Andersonnnn!

The soundtrack is up for pre-order! I'm going to wait a bit to see if I can get it on Amazon (I know I should support the smaller sites, but with my Prime, Amazon would guarantee delivery on the release date). Can't wait! Will listen to the disc a few times, then do a Carpenter marathon (I have most of his music)!
I guess the most plausible thing would be to steal a car, or, better yet, he escapes while being transported. Ok, just checked the trailer and he DOES escape mid-transport. That makes some sense, but as for getting to Haddonfield, they may use the bathroom scene shown in the trailers (taken clearly from H20) to show him obtaining transport. I think it could work, but they need to do a good job with the escape!
Good question. I hope they make it good, whatever they do!
See I actually will sometimes get rid of ones I don't watch anymore, and still have a very large movie count. So, typically, I would get rid of those, but they are part of a single-disc 3-movie set, so I can't. Maybe one day I will actually watch them!
I have several albums from each of these bands, including everything Perturbator, Dance with the Dead, and Carpenter Brut have done to date! Great stuff! I was just looking to post that Synthwave and DarkSynth are some great music genres (darksynth being an offshoot of synthwave) that inspire the soundtrack. In fact, a Perturbator song plays in the maze (when the two agents are killed).
I can agree with that, but to date, I own every film in some format except for Resurrection. I will likely own this one too, unless it is completely unbearable!
85 more days till Halloween (as of this writing), Halloween, Halloween, 85 more days till Halloween, Silver Shamrock!
I agree that it doesn't make sense, but I've always just accepted it, so it was never a big deal for me. Carpenter never liked it anyway, but I still wish they had kept Halloween 2 in the cannon. I have loved it for many years and my tradition is to watch both 1 and 2 every year on Halloween, ending my horror-thon with the pair of them. Not sure what I will do now that this one is supposed to get rid of part 2!
Well I didn't end up watching the other two after all (earlier today), and based on MichiganJFrogg's review, I was right to once again skip them! They are the only two movies I believe I personally own (so not counting a couple my wife owns) that I've never actually watched.
