You're the only people I've seen who notice that The Thing that's on TV in the movie is not the John Carpenter film but the original from the 50s. Everyone else just says Carpenter is referencing his own movie. Congratulations!
You might as well ask why characters in horror movies do stupid things? Well, that is why I ask "why is it that people in horror movie audiences do not realize that the characters in horror movies do not realize that they are in a horror movie?" In the real world, the bad guy wouldn't get up from being stabbed in the neck by a knitting needle, or when he is stabbed in the eye by a wire hanger then stabbed in the gut by a large knife. And that is how Laurie reacts in this movie. She doesn't think that Michael is going to get up. And though those actions were things she had to do to save her life, she is also horrified that she had to do them - and that's why she drops the knife. Obviously, what happens in this movie (and most horror movies) are not things that happen in real life. And the victims, in their minds, are still firmly thinking that they are in the real world. If you apply this logic to this and other horror movies, the actions of the victims make a lot more sense.
That is probably the best explanation about characters doing "stupid" mistakes in movies 👌🏻 I agree. But that doesn't mean I'll stop getting mad while watching horror movies! 😂
My brother and I saw this in the theater when it first came out. We were both adults and the movie had us jumping in our seats. As we were leaving after the show we watched as a family, mom, dad, 2 kuds and grandma using a walker, filed in and headed for the front rows for the next showing. Never found out how that worked out bus suspect not well.
I was lucky enough to see Halloween on October 24th, 1978 opening night in Columbia, S.C. As we waited to file in, grown men and women were coming out telling everyone. " Go home, do not watch this movie". And I just laughed. But, when Loomis shot Michael and fell off balcony, I leaned over and told my friend, if he gets up I'm leaving. Of course I didn't. But it scarred a lot of people for years. A great memory for me now I'm 61 and still enjoy watching.
I was actually born in 1978, and growing up as I started getting into horror movies, Halloween was my favorite franchise. The fact it came out the year I was born might have led to me being a little bit biased though. But man would I have loved to have seen it back then in theaters, when you guys did.
Back in the day in the United States no one locked there doors. Things change. We used to go to the local corner store grab something off the shelf and leave the money on the counter if someone was not at the register and leave.✌️❤️
It's literally true though. It maybe didn't happen everywhere (or where you have lived during your life) but it did happen. If you lived in New York City at any point in time I imagine you'd never leave the doors unlocked. But especially in smaller towns and rural areas, definitely a lot of places until recent times didn't necessarily lock doors. In lots of towns, murder was prolly a very rare event.
@@ptthatswhatshesaid obviously now of course not... But for those of us that grew up during the time this movie was released especially in small towns (but even in bigger ones) it was common. Our family would go on vacation and leave the door unlocked so my friend could feed our pets. Never had a problem... 😁😎
So, you asked the right question when you wondered if something supernatural was happening. The answer is yes. The original script for the film was written as the killer being a supernatural personification of evil, a force of nature. In the original script, and if you noticed in the end credits of the film, the killer is not referred to as Michael Myers, he is referred to as "The Shape." The boy Michael Myers, and later the adult Michael Myers, is basically just a human costume that contains the form of the Boogeyman - he has possessed the body of Michael Myers. This supernatural interpretation of the original film is why it is so effective - there is no real reason or motive for The Shape, it is just a force for evil that can inhabit anywhere, and the reason he can't be killed. Little Tommy even says, "you can't kill the Boogeyman." Because he is supernatural, it is also why he can seem to quickly appear and disappear at will, and why he seems to be only seen by certain people at certain times. The Boogeyman also "plays" at being human by virtue of wearing a clown suit, and then a mask that resembles a regular human face - while at other times hinting at his supernatural nature by wearing the ghost sheet. You criticized the Laurie character for being dumb and not keeping the knife, etc., and said that no one would behave like that. I disagree, and I'm willing to bet that you would not make rational decisions either if you were suddenly put in that situation. Also, you have to remember that this film was made in the 70s at a time when people were much more trusting and young people were much less sophisticated - people still left their houses unlocked at that time, and the term "serial killer" was not even invented yet. And the Laurie character is a timid person by nature anyway. When she sees her friends dead and is scared out of her mind - she is in shock, but at least maintains the presence of mind to quickly think of ways to help herself. I'm betting that you or most other people who have never faced mortal danger that comes out of nowhere would not have a lot of presence of mind. I guess if someone stalks and tries to kill you in the future that you will find out how rational your decisions really are are and how you handle things in a sudden life or death crisis. I was involved in law enforcement when I was younger, and I can tell you that most people who think they would be so smart in real life situations act very stupidly and do not make rational decisions to save themselves when they are panicked or in shock. Anyway, in my opinion, the subsequent films, including Halloween 2, immediately went off the rails and are far inferior films, because they made the mistake of "explaining" the killer. They gave the killer a lame backstory that completely diminishes the supernatural intent of the first film and turns the killer back from the supernatural Boogeyman into just the man Michael Myers. The subsequent films are also far inferior in terms of directing, cinematography, and pretty much everything else. I recommend you skip all of the rest of the Halloween franchise films, with the exception of Halloween III: Season of the Witch - which is a completely stand-alone film that has nothing to do with The Shape or the rest of the Halloween films.
About Michael Myers. Director Carpenter once mentioned that Myers is more like a force of nature (whatever that means). In other words, whether he is a villain or a natural disaster, or a supernatural force, it is not clear. But he is probably not completely human. He is probably some kind of phenomenon. However, in reality, a few bullets are completely insufficient to kill some people. This has happened during executions when one volley is not enough to kill a person sentenced to death, this amazes the executioners and they have to reload their weapons to shoot a prisoner again. This was also the case with the infamous Razputin who was poisoned, stabbed, hanged and strangled before he died. Some people just refuse to die.
The most unrealistic thing about this movie is that when Laurie and the kids are screaming for help, none of the local men came out to help. Back then that would absolutely happen. Now, you can get sued by the person you saved or charged with assault for stopping the attacker.
Annie had her neck broke from a squeeze.Everyone thinks Michael stabs her but he squeezes..:)Nobody locked a door,or a car,in the 70's.Heck we left our bikes out on the lawn and nobody would take them.
P.S. Some people are afraid of violence and want nothing to do with holding a bloody knife. After you think the psycho killer is dead, the first reaction is to get that knife out of your hand. So yes, for a HS teenager who is not violent, it is very plausible to drop the knife. You are looking and thinking at it from your couch, it is much easier to know exactly what you would do. Everyone reacts differently in a deadly situation.
Jamie Lee Curtis's finest role, IMO, was in "A Fish Called Wanda" (1988) - one the best comedies ever made. HIGHEST Recommendation. It's a crazy crime comedy, with great laughs ....and a bit of inappropriate humor. Starring Jamie Lee Curtis, Kevin Cline (winner of Best Supporting Actor) and John Cleese and Michael Palin from Monty Python.
Here the music is an important character. By the while filming they did not have a mask for the Michal character and the story says that they found one based on the actor William Shatner who was famous for being the main character of the 1960s sci fi series Star Trek.
Just so you know…. The Halloween series has 4 different storylines. 1. H1 and H2 2. H1, H2, H4, H5, H6 3. H1, H2, H H20, H Resurrection 4. H1, H 2018, H Kills, H Ends The Halloween series originally meant to be a anthology which is why Halloween 3 is a different story. But when H3 was released they realized people wanted more Michael Myers. Also it’s 2 complete remakes by a director named Rob Zombie who came out with H 2007 and H2 2009. Definitely watch the other Halloween movies. Also, check out the movies Trick ‘r Treat(2007), The Texas Chainsaw Massacre(1974), Scream 1-6, The Shining(1980), Child’s Play(1988), A Nightmare on Elm Street(1984), and Psycho(1960).
Lucy, baby girl.... I was laughing so much when you said that you wanted to stab her yourself!! Because your very mad about her dropping the knife 🔪!! 🤣🤣❤️🔥❤️🔥
This is the classic slasher film. Actually, she acts just like a victim of a traumatic event. We do not act rationally in these situations. Easy to be a couch critic with your bae and blanket. LOL 😂
Y'all would enjoy a movie called _The Young Poisoner's Handbook._ Nobody (but me) is scouring TH-cam looking for reactions to it, however, so commercially it might not make sense. There's been a copy of the movie on TH-cam for ages now, though, so I can't imagine that copyright or demonetization could be an issue. Maybe that makes it good commercially even?
This generation is so used to seeing horror slasher movies that they don’t appreciate one of the first classics like Halloween that started the whole slasher genre. At the time a movie like this was never seen before.
Ok so this franchise has a few different timelines actually. I'll try to explain without spoilers. 2 is direct sequel. Like REAL REAL directly. 3 started their attempt to make this an anthology series. It's a good horror movie on its own, but not being directly related to Michael was an issue for some people. Still related to the holiday for sure. 4-6 they returned to Michael. It continues on from the previous movies but this is considered part of its own timeline. And starts like almost a decade after the first films occur. Mostly new cast (no Jamie Lee). Donald Pleasance died shortly after filming the 6th film. And so they did some reshoots and changed a bit of the story and now there's actually two cuts of part 6. One is called the Origin of Michael Meyers (or the producers cut) and the other is called Curse of... They are edited real differently, the music is different, the ending is a bit different and some of the middle is different. They both kinda give a different feel, especially the edits and music. I believe the producers cut (Original) retains music that feels closer to the franchises normal music. The other version has a lot more heavy guitar riffs. H20 takes place 20 years after the first movie and features the return of Jamie Lee to the franchise. It pretends 4-6 didn't happen, so this would be a direct sequel to part 2 and timeline #2. Resurrection is a direct sequel to H20, and this is the other one Daniel was talking bout. Features people live streaming in a haunted house (aka Michaels house) for an internet show. So yeah it's a bit different, but it's still Michael killin folks. I believe most people consider this one of the worst in the franchise, and that only depends on how much they liked the next two movies, which are very divisive. Some people really don't like the directors style of the next two. The next 2 films were directed by singer Rob Zombie (White Zombie). He most definitely has a style. A brutal violent gory style. Maybe more real world-ish style. If it means anything to you, He also made House of a Thousand Corpses, Devils Rejects, Lords of Salem, and... The Munsters which is based on the classic black and white comedy tv show of the same name. Which was similar to the Addams Family. These films are a total remake/reboot of the franchise, so timeline #3. Then in 2018(?) starts a new trilogy and timeline #4. These movies even pretend part 2 didn't happen, so it's a direct sequel to the first movie only, taking place in modern day, and features yet once again the return of Jamie Lee to the franchise. So forget any franchise lore from the second one. The first of these keeps the same name as the original movie to maximize confusion lol. So this trilogy is Halloween > Halloween Kills > Halloween Ends. The first I think is very good, the next has some issues, and lots of people hate the third lol. I didn't think they were that bad, but that's not to say I don't see some problems with them. When and if you get to the third, you will surely understand why people may have disliked it. The franchise definitely evolved thru the times. 4-6 are definitely 80s style horror. H20 was made after Scream, and Scream definitely affected the style of horror movies in the 90s. The internet was definitely taking off when Resurrection came out so it's of its time. The Zombie films are well Zombie films. And the last trilogy of movies are definitely 2018+ movies. Kinda brutal in places. I enjoy them all, but the franchise was one of my favorites, so I may be a bit biased. Back in the day was a way different time. Especially in more rural areas, people didn't necessarily lock their doors. They weren't worried about stalkers and mass murderers to be so afraid of the dark and whatever. And A LOT of people get irritated by her dropping the knife repeatedly. But remember she is just a teenager. And she may be in a bit of shock. But yeah it's infuriating lol. And people doing dumb things is pretty much a cliche of horror. You also have to remember a lot of people in these films have no idea any thing dangerous is around them to worry about, and again different times back then. Wasn't a lot of slasher films at the time for people to even be thinking bout those kinds of things. That was the original thing from another planet on tv from the 50s. Carpenter would make the remake years after this movie interestingly enough. I believe the very first slasher film would be Psycho from the 60s. And that movie actually featured Jamie Lee Curtis's mom. Her mom actually makes an appearance in H20. After that there was a couple other "slashers" I believe Texas Chainsaw came out before Halloween. But I think Halloween really cemented the genre. I believe December has a Friday the 13th, which might be a good time to try out the Friday 13th franchise. If you guys ever do the Scream series, make sure to specifically watch the first Friday 13th movie as there is a direct spoiler in Scream for it. Granted there are some other horror movies mentioned in it as well, it's very meta, I don't believe spoilers are given for them.
OMG, there are so many Halloween movies! I had no idea there was different timelines! 😱 I definitely want to show her at least Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street before we watch Scream and then eventually Scary Movie.
Fun one, D&L! Yeah, this was a big movie back in the day and pretty much kick started the whole slasher/horror trend that followed in the 80's & 90's. Have you seen the movie Scream yet? That is a really fun and clever take on the teen slasher/horror genre that leans into all the tropes and makes a pretty entertaining story line out of it. I think you both might enjoy that one. It's a lot of fun! Thanks for sharing this. Oh, and yeah, Michael is demonic. 😉
She opened the window to check what qas making the noise on the car roof, I have done that several times.....also everyone that says I would stab him again or something is lying, taking a life is never easy, also that knitting needle in the neck would drop anyone and then the coat hanger to the eye and the knife stab would finish the job.....thats why Laurie drops the knife 2times
In reality (real world) if someone actually did the total overkill they say they would when watching horror movies, they would probably be considered a very dangerous and deranged individual 😂😂
She needs to see a bunch more horror movies before she can truly appreciate that one. Same thing with the Scream trilogy and spoofs like Shaun of the Dead
The fact itself someone mentioned 70/80s makes me to comment. 😁 would have loved to live in the 80s. Although that's when serial killers started in the US. John Wayne Gacy (The Killer Clown), Richard Ramirez (The Night Stalker), Dennis Rader (BTK) The true nightmare is we humans itself. At Least that's i start to thing when i see the girl shaking because it seams her thru horror are humans.😁It's a bit strange that they didn't turn on the lights. If it were me, I definitely would. Still, Halloween inspired Friday the 13th and many other movies of that generation. Back in the 80s hitchhiking was very fashionable, people weren't so afraid of each other and doors were unlocked. Still, it was fun for me to see the girl get scared for the first time. At least it's the first time she's scared so openly. In that case, for a better scare, I'd recommend "The Dark and the Wicked"😵😵💫🥴 I would really love to see your reaction to this. This will come as a surprise to you.Because it's really intense.
@@ptthatswhatshesaid Yes. Well, sometimes I think I recommend this thing when I hate someone. It scared me so much and I so much want to see if it will scare anyone else. These maybe are more like sadistic vibes on my part and want to conduct this psychological experiment with another sentient being.😁 But also this thing might not affect you as much as it affected me. It affected me maybe because I have some similar vibes of fears. Maybe. And it was very contagious to me. Not absolutely right away. But in the days (nights) to come. But if you are more afraid of what your eyes can see then this might not scare you as much as it amuses you. But I have exactly the same fears like this things from that movie. When I was little and soapy water got in my eyes I would immediately wash the soap out of my eyes because while my eyes were closed I believed that some evil face locked inside a mirror was looking at me from the mirror, but at any moment this evil entity would come out of the mirror and attack me. And much more, just like your close friend or relative who is somehow changed, looks sinister, but at the same time calls you friendly even though he looks more like possessed or vampirized and many more similar things. Just like in The Dark and the Wicked. So, The Dark and the Wicked It's a completely different generation from Serial Killers like Michel Moers ,Jason Voorhees and Freddy Krueger ,as you mentioned about Friday the 13th which yes, came after Halloween. But it was an important note on your part dropping a knife and not turning on the lights. When I watched Halloween for the first time since my childhood it was Halloween or Christmas Eve 2021 at the end. Apparently I didn't watch the movie very carefully because I hadn't noticed dropping a knife or the fact that these people are completely in the dark. While a person instinctively turns on the lights because of his subconscious fear, what if you have doubts that someone has broken into your friends' house. This constant dropping of a knife is also absurd, yes. Still, Halloween remains a pioneer in the genre and that's why it enjoys such respect. So "The Dark and the Wicked" was about something evil. I don't know if it was the Devil himself or some other evil that sometimes comes back like 'From The Mouth Of Madness", but someone who did this really has a connection to these issues. Only someone who has experienced fear themselves could create something like that.
You have to realize, Laurie (main women character) thinks Michael Myers is human. However, would a human be able to take all those stabs and bullets and live? If it was you or me we would think he would be dead (or at the very least incapacitated) after taking a huge butcher knife in the chest. IMO, Michael Myers is the "Boogeyman" and always remember "you can't kill the Boogeyman!
I disagree with your assessment on the knife. She is not watching a horror movie. She doesn't know he's supernatural. No normal person would ever get up from that stab wound. She would have no reason to think there is any more danger. Also, she is in shock. Watching it as a movie, you can rationally think I would do this or I would do that. Who knows what you would actually do if you had just seen your friends murdered and been viciously attacked. In this instance, I am surprised that the two of you were unable to put yourself in Jamie Lee's shoes. This movie is one of the best horror movies ever made.
I agree with you. It would be illogical to disagree. But also I think we were not able to watch it without thinking that we are watching a horror movie! 😅
Great reaction as always .. asking someone in their teens in the 70s to act like an adult in the 2020s is a bit much.... Its a movie not a documentary enjoy the fun....
@ptthatswhatshesaid that's why we watch 😉 remember also the girls were 17... As far as how Laurie acted after discovering her friends bodies she was in shock so her actions were caused by that.
Lucy, baby girl.... your very beautiful & attractive....& Your right, what people saw & how Michael Meier actually acted are very different things!! I agree with you!! He doesn't get hurt very much!!
A lot of horror/slasher movies do include many dumb characters which can be frustrating. I hope you wind up watching 'Scream' if you haven't already because that movie is very meta. The 2 of you always do a great job analyzing movies both during and afterwards.
The painful part of this reaction video is seeing two highly intelligent reactors having to watch incredibly STUPID characters get themselves killed! Slasher films cornered the market in STUPID characters.... 😄😄
You're the only people I've seen who notice that The Thing that's on TV in the movie is not the John Carpenter film but the original from the 50s. Everyone else just says Carpenter is referencing his own movie. Congratulations!
Thank you! It just that we just watched John Carpenter's The Thing and we knew it came a few years after this one :p

Have to agree, find it very weird that no one tried to help in those days!
Annie had her neck broke from a squeeze.Everyone thinks Michael stabs her but he squeezes..:)Nobody locked a door,or a car,in the 70's.Heck we left our bikes out on the lawn and nobody would take them.
Makes sense, we only see him with a knife afterwards when he kills Bob

Also it’s 2 complete remakes by a director named Rob Zombie who came out with H 2007 and H2 2009.
Definitely watch the other Halloween movies. Also, check out the movies Trick ‘r Treat(2007), The Texas Chainsaw Massacre(1974), Scream 1-6, The Shining(1980), Child’s Play(1988), A Nightmare on Elm Street(1984), and Psycho(1960).
Those other movies we definitely need to check them out!
Don't know if you guys have seen the SAW movies, but I think that is the best horror series made.
Its one of the films in our horror movie poll right now on Patreon 😋
Love your reaction, must react to part 2 it pics off were it left off, it all happens in the same night!
Had no idea it was such a direct sequel!
Lucy, baby girl... I love how your feoncie is laughing at how serious & honest your being!! About what you feel about the movie 🎥!!
Lucy, baby girl.... I was laughing so much when you said that you wanted to stab her yourself!! Because your very mad about her dropping the knife 🔪!! 🤣🤣❤️🔥❤️🔥
This is the classic slasher film. Actually, she acts just like a victim of a traumatic event. We do not act rationally in these situations. Easy to be a couch critic with your bae and blanket. LOL 😂
Ahahah yop, in reality people often do not do what they think they would in such extreme situations 😬
Linda mentioned the lights were off at Lindsey's house
The porch light was out too
Micheal turned lights out
Great reaction!! " I want to stab her myself "🤣🤣😂😂 Thanks for the laughs 😁
I'll show her more slasher movies. I bet she will quickly always start rooting for the killers! 😂
the real experience begins when you go to bed and turn out the lights.
😬😬😬 yes, then it stays with you..
The second one continues that night until the morning
That is such a direct sequel!
Y'all would enjoy a movie called _The Young Poisoner's Handbook._ Nobody (but me) is scouring TH-cam looking for reactions to it, however, so commercially it might not make sense. There's been a copy of the movie on TH-cam for ages now, though, so I can't imagine that copyright or demonetization could be an issue. Maybe that makes it good commercially even?
It does sound interesting! Probably not for the moment, but its one that I'll definitely put on our to watch list 😉
This generation is so used to seeing horror slasher movies that they don’t appreciate one of the first classics like Halloween that started the whole slasher genre. At the time a movie like this was never seen before.
And as some other people mentioned, it makes sense that characters don't act as if they had seen this kind of movies before!
Ok so this franchise has a few different timelines actually. I'll try to explain without spoilers.
2 is direct sequel. Like REAL REAL directly.
3 started their attempt to make this an anthology series. It's a good horror movie on its own, but not being directly related to Michael was an issue for some people. Still related to the holiday for sure.
4-6 they returned to Michael. It continues on from the previous movies but this is considered part of its own timeline. And starts like almost a decade after the first films occur. Mostly new cast (no Jamie Lee). Donald Pleasance died shortly after filming the 6th film. And so they did some reshoots and changed a bit of the story and now there's actually two cuts of part 6. One is called the Origin of Michael Meyers (or the producers cut) and the other is called Curse of... They are edited real differently, the music is different, the ending is a bit different and some of the middle is different. They both kinda give a different feel, especially the edits and music. I believe the producers cut (Original) retains music that feels closer to the franchises normal music. The other version has a lot more heavy guitar riffs.
H20 takes place 20 years after the first movie and features the return of Jamie Lee to the franchise. It pretends 4-6 didn't happen, so this would be a direct sequel to part 2 and timeline #2.
Resurrection is a direct sequel to H20, and this is the other one Daniel was talking bout. Features people live streaming in a haunted house (aka Michaels house) for an internet show. So yeah it's a bit different, but it's still Michael killin folks. I believe most people consider this one of the worst in the franchise, and that only depends on how much they liked the next two movies, which are very divisive. Some people really don't like the directors style of the next two.
The next 2 films were directed by singer Rob Zombie (White Zombie). He most definitely has a style. A brutal violent gory style. Maybe more real world-ish style. If it means anything to you, He also made House of a Thousand Corpses, Devils Rejects, Lords of Salem, and... The Munsters which is based on the classic black and white comedy tv show of the same name. Which was similar to the Addams Family. These films are a total remake/reboot of the franchise, so timeline #3.
Then in 2018(?) starts a new trilogy and timeline #4. These movies even pretend part 2 didn't happen, so it's a direct sequel to the first movie only, taking place in modern day, and features yet once again the return of Jamie Lee to the franchise. So forget any franchise lore from the second one. The first of these keeps the same name as the original movie to maximize confusion lol. So this trilogy is Halloween > Halloween Kills > Halloween Ends. The first I think is very good, the next has some issues, and lots of people hate the third lol. I didn't think they were that bad, but that's not to say I don't see some problems with them. When and if you get to the third, you will surely understand why people may have disliked it.
The franchise definitely evolved thru the times. 4-6 are definitely 80s style horror. H20 was made after Scream, and Scream definitely affected the style of horror movies in the 90s. The internet was definitely taking off when Resurrection came out so it's of its time. The Zombie films are well Zombie films. And the last trilogy of movies are definitely 2018+ movies. Kinda brutal in places. I enjoy them all, but the franchise was one of my favorites, so I may be a bit biased.
Back in the day was a way different time. Especially in more rural areas, people didn't necessarily lock their doors. They weren't worried about stalkers and mass murderers to be so afraid of the dark and whatever. And A LOT of people get irritated by her dropping the knife repeatedly. But remember she is just a teenager. And she may be in a bit of shock. But yeah it's infuriating lol. And people doing dumb things is pretty much a cliche of horror. You also have to remember a lot of people in these films have no idea any thing dangerous is around them to worry about, and again different times back then. Wasn't a lot of slasher films at the time for people to even be thinking bout those kinds of things.
That was the original thing from another planet on tv from the 50s. Carpenter would make the remake years after this movie interestingly enough.
I believe the very first slasher film would be Psycho from the 60s. And that movie actually featured Jamie Lee Curtis's mom. Her mom actually makes an appearance in H20. After that there was a couple other "slashers" I believe Texas Chainsaw came out before Halloween. But I think Halloween really cemented the genre.
I believe December has a Friday the 13th, which might be a good time to try out the Friday 13th franchise.
If you guys ever do the Scream series, make sure to specifically watch the first Friday 13th movie as there is a direct spoiler in Scream for it. Granted there are some other horror movies mentioned in it as well, it's very meta, I don't believe spoilers are given for them.
OMG, there are so many Halloween movies! I had no idea there was different timelines! 😱
I definitely want to show her at least Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street before we watch Scream and then eventually Scary Movie.
Y’all should watch Sleepaway Camp 🏕️ next
Never heard of that one, need to check it out
All 3 are worth it
She toughens up in the later films when she's older.
Fun one, D&L! Yeah, this was a big movie back in the day and pretty much kick started the whole slasher/horror trend that followed in the 80's & 90's. Have you seen the movie Scream yet? That is a really fun and clever take on the teen slasher/horror genre that leans into all the tropes and makes a pretty entertaining story line out of it. I think you both might enjoy that one. It's a lot of fun! Thanks for sharing this. Oh, and yeah, Michael is demonic. 😉
Definitely WATCH FRIDAY THE 13th before you see Scream. There's a direct spoiler.
She has never seen Scream (I have a long time ago though), but I do think she should see much more slasher horror movies first! 😋
@@ptthatswhatshesaidshould at least watch Friday the 13th part 1 because Scream contains a big spoiler.
She opened the window to check what qas making the noise on the car roof, I have done that several times.....also everyone that says I would stab him again or something is lying, taking a life is never easy, also that knitting needle in the neck would drop anyone and then the coat hanger to the eye and the knife stab would finish the job.....thats why Laurie drops the knife 2times
In reality (real world) if someone actually did the total overkill they say they would when watching horror movies, they would probably be considered a very dangerous and deranged individual 😂😂
HALLOWEEN II is the only proper sequel
Recommendation: The Cabin in the Woods.
She needs to see a bunch more horror movies before she can truly appreciate that one. Same thing with the Scream trilogy and spoofs like Shaun of the Dead
The fact itself someone mentioned 70/80s makes me to comment. 😁 would have loved to live in the 80s. Although that's when serial killers started in the US. John Wayne Gacy (The Killer Clown), Richard Ramirez (The Night Stalker), Dennis Rader (BTK)
The true nightmare is we humans itself. At Least that's i start to thing when i see the girl shaking because it seams her thru horror are humans.😁It's a bit strange that they didn't turn on the lights. If it were me, I definitely would. Still, Halloween inspired Friday the 13th and many other movies of that generation. Back in the 80s hitchhiking was very fashionable, people weren't so afraid of each other and doors were unlocked. Still, it was fun for me to see the girl get scared for the first time. At least it's the first time she's scared so openly. In that case, for a better scare, I'd recommend "The Dark and the Wicked"😵😵💫🥴 I would really love to see your reaction to this. This will come as a surprise to you.Because it's really intense.
Never heard about The Dark and the Wicked but sounds really creepy.. 😬
@@ptthatswhatshesaid
Yes. Well, sometimes I think I recommend this thing when I hate someone. It scared me so much and I so much want to see if it will scare anyone else. These maybe are more like sadistic vibes on my part and want to conduct this psychological experiment with another sentient being.😁
But also this thing might not affect you as much as it affected me. It affected me maybe because I have some similar vibes of fears. Maybe. And it was very contagious to me. Not absolutely right away. But in the days (nights) to come. But if you are more afraid of what your eyes can see then this might not scare you as much as it amuses you. But I have exactly the same fears like this things from that movie. When I was little and soapy water got in my eyes I would immediately wash the soap out of my eyes because while my eyes were closed I believed that some evil face locked inside a mirror was looking at me from the mirror, but at any moment this evil entity would come out of the mirror and attack me. And much more, just like your close friend or relative who is somehow changed, looks sinister, but at the same time calls you friendly even though he looks more like possessed or vampirized and many more similar things. Just like in The Dark and the Wicked.
So, The Dark and the Wicked It's a completely different generation from Serial Killers like Michel Moers ,Jason Voorhees and Freddy Krueger ,as you mentioned about Friday the 13th which yes, came after Halloween. But it was an important note on your part dropping a knife and not turning on the lights. When I watched Halloween for the first time since my childhood it was Halloween or Christmas Eve 2021 at the end. Apparently I didn't watch the movie very carefully because I hadn't noticed dropping a knife or the fact that these people are completely in the dark. While a person instinctively turns on the lights because of his subconscious fear, what if you have doubts that someone has broken into your friends' house. This constant dropping of a knife is also absurd, yes. Still, Halloween remains a pioneer in the genre and that's why it enjoys such respect.
So "The Dark and the Wicked" was about something evil. I don't know if it was the Devil himself or some other evil that sometimes comes back like 'From The Mouth Of Madness", but someone who did this really has a connection to these issues. Only someone who has experienced fear themselves could create something like that.
"I want to stab her myself."
LOL!
My home town had a real life Michael Myers but he died in a prison for the criminally insane and didn't escape and go no a rampage thankfully
Good! 🫡
If you found The Thing interesting you'd find The Fly amazing. About time TH-cam Americans considered it the cool film to hype.
Check out Halloween 2.
You have to realize, Laurie (main women character) thinks Michael Myers is human. However, would a human be able to take all those stabs and bullets and live? If it was you or me we would think he would be dead (or at the very least incapacitated) after taking a huge butcher knife in the chest.
IMO, Michael Myers is the "Boogeyman" and always remember "you can't kill the Boogeyman!
Like, after Loomis shot him down, I would assume he was dead. Yeah, who could imagine that he could get up after all his wounds 😬😬 not human at all!
😂✌️
“Is she being killed or having an orgasm?” 😂😂😂
I would have grabbed the rake propped on the door. Then ran
I disagree with your assessment on the knife.
She is not watching a horror movie. She doesn't know he's supernatural. No normal person would ever get up from that stab wound. She would have no reason to think there is any more danger.
Also, she is in shock. Watching it as a movie, you can rationally think I would do this or I would do that. Who knows what you would actually do if you had just seen your friends murdered and been viciously attacked.
In this instance, I am surprised that the two of you were unable to put yourself in Jamie Lee's shoes.
This movie is one of the best horror movies ever made.
I agree with you. It would be illogical to disagree.
But also I think we were not able to watch it without thinking that we are watching a horror movie! 😅
Great reaction as always .. asking someone in their teens in the 70s to act like an adult in the 2020s is a bit much.... Its a movie not a documentary enjoy the fun....
Thank you! ☺️
And getting mad at characters in horror movies is kinda part of the fun! 😂
@ptthatswhatshesaid that's why we watch 😉 remember also the girls were 17... As far as how Laurie acted after discovering her friends bodies she was in shock so her actions were caused by that.
Absolutely!
check out peter Jackson first movie "bad taste " ____"the gore too excessive".____reason why movie was censored
I thought I had seen that one already, but actually I saw another Peter JAckson movie called "Braindead", which is extremely gory as well xD
Lucy, baby girl.... your very beautiful & attractive....& Your right, what people saw & how Michael Meier actually acted are very different things!! I agree with you!! He doesn't get hurt very much!!
A lot of horror/slasher movies do include many dumb characters which can be frustrating. I hope you wind up watching 'Scream' if you haven't already because that movie is very meta. The 2 of you always do a great job analyzing movies both during and afterwards.
Important: Watch Friday the 13th first due to spoiler in Sceam.
Thank you ☺️
We will definitely at some point check out the movie Scream
Actually, 1978 was a nice time, except for inflation.
She complained too much, she needs Jesus. 😇
Right? That's what I keep telling her 😋
halloween II was better imo
We still need to check that one out
The painful part of this reaction video is seeing two highly intelligent reactors having to watch incredibly STUPID characters get themselves killed! Slasher films cornered the market in STUPID characters.... 😄😄
But that is why those movies are so fun! 😋
John Carpenter's "Halloween" is more like a short story.💀
The remake by Rob Zombie is more like a fuil novel. 🫣
