Halloween is on tonight at 7est on AMC.

Which one?
The original, the reboot, or the remake?????
Or are the reboot and the remake the same?
It gets so confusing...

I haven't watched Babadook yet. Heard mixed reviews. Some saying it is solid, others saying is it ridiculously stupid. Probably have to sit down with it at some point.

It's more of a children's nightmare tale. Definitely tailored to younger audiences, which I think is a major hangup for the older generations.

I felt like everyone knew she had to die at some point. She was just too over the top not to think something would happen to her lol.

If Most F-ed up Ending was a category, The Mist probably would have gotten my vote lol.

Definitely had to die. But the moment she made her presence felt, and the portrayal of how over the top she became, mixed with my disdain for religious baiting... Every second she was alive was a needle to my soul.

And yes, definitely one of the most F'd endings in cinematic history lol. I can still feel & hear Thomas Jane crying out audibly from the exterior of that jeep every time I think about it. Rough stuff there.

Forgot about her.

Farmiga or Paulson? Kate Beckinsale was a good call on your part. Didn't think about her.

Whoa whoa whoa... pump the brakes. Are you trying to say that The Thing 2011 is better than The Thing 1982? The 1982 version was a remake as well.

I mean technically, isn't the 2011 version a prequel to the 1982 version?

We might have to disagree here lol.

No not saying better. Just calling it a great remake. And yes technically it is a prequel with how they tied it into Carpenter's film. Shmantics!

they did a great job matching the adults with the kids. I found that really cool.

Bill Hader is the man.

Yeah I agree, I was thinking they looked just like the adult actors. Crazy

It gets so confusing...

Definitely a muddled mess of broken timelines... As far as I can tell:

Halloween (1978), Halloween II (1981), Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982), Halloween 4: Return of Michael Myers (1988), Haloween 5: Revenge of Michael Myers (1989), and Halloween: Curse of Michael Myers (1995) are all in a linear timeline. Even though the 1982 film was more of a completely unnecessary paraquel.

Since the events between the fourth to sixth films are effectively ignored in that abortion of films they called Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998), and Halloween: Resurrection (2002) we can chalk these up to reboots. These movies were utter failures.

The Rob Zombie film were a definite remake as he basically tried to replay the movies in a more malicious & violent manner. Halloween (2007) focused on the events that led to Michael killing his family. Halloween II (2009) picks up right where Zombie left off, and jumps ahead 1 year.

Fast forward 9 years and we land on Halloween (2018), which is a DIRECT sequel to the original timeline. Yet it ignores II through 6 by establishing that Michael was arrested following his 1978 killing spree, and spending 40 years in Smith's Grove Sanitarium before escaping again in this film to return to Haddonfield. So in a sense, it's a remake-sequel lol.

Clear as mud right?

My favorite horror flick. Halloween 4 is damn close.

And most folks fail to recognize Halloween III because it had nothing to do with Myers.
Thanks for the breakdown.

I remember watching that for the first time...what a bummer. Not sure why they even include that. 4 and 5 weren't very good either.

I think my favorite other than the original is H20

I liked H20 DAMMIT!!

 

[Sparhawk]

I'd like to see a Halloween Reboot in which Michael Myers breaks out of prison to protect his sister from something else far more sinister.

A kind of 'we've been looking at this character the wrong way' perspective.

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

My favorite horror flick. Halloween 4 is damn close.

The 1978 film is my holy grail of horror films.

You had a Josh Hartnett poster on your wall as a kid, didn't you?

Who didn't? He had boyish looks. He looked like a pig-eyed Ashton Kutcher.

5 was a lame duck. Somber pacing & uninspired kill scenes... Cartoonish sound effects... Mixed with the WORST character in the entire franchise to date, in Tina... Loathed that wench

 

[Shanemansj13]

I would still screw a 50+ Jamie Lee Curtis...but probably not a 60+. She wasn't looking too hot in Resurrection and the newest one.

Josh Hartnett was the man.

wonder what ever happened to him...
