    The Halloween cycle: they start to run out of ideas, so they wrap things up and try to end the series. Then people hear that it's the series finale, and tons of people buy tickets. The increased revenue then prompts studio heads to assume that people want a sequel, so they make one, it sucks, and the franchise dies, before they try to redo the "finale". From what I can tell, this happened several times.

      If you're gonna turn a movie into a franchise, you should always try to make every installment interesting, if not original. Or better yet, *don't* make it a franchise. But then we would lose our precious MONEY

      @JOHN JOHN Yep. Partly because it was meant to be a finale. But when people came to see it, they decided to greenlight two more, which will probably not be nearly as good.

    In the Multiverse somewhere, everybody understood what Jon Carpenter intended for an anthology after Halloween 2 and accepted Michael Myers was burnt to death. Many interesting stories around the supernatural origins of Halloween are explored and many different iconic horror figures are born.

    Has anyone noticed the parallels between Halloween and the Terminator (1984), indestructible killer, chasing young woman, a man who knows the killer and is trying to destroy him resulting in scenes like the roommate of the young woman being killed.

    Halloween 1 was,and is, the scariest movie I ever saw. 1978- 19 years old
    Before that it was "Night Of the Living Dead" . 1968 -9 years old.

    Halloween 4 is my personal favorite of the sequels. I too love the opening credits sequence with the scenic shots and that brilliantly droning ambient music that truly captures the eerie feel of autumn in late October. The score manages to magnify the dark atmosphere the whole film has and may be Alan Howarth's best work. A power outage on a foggy Halloween night is the perfect atmosphere for a horror movie.

    Watched the original last night. I reccomend watching this in a setting where you can give it 100% of your attention if you haven't seen it before. It hasn't aged well, especially in an era where we expect our heroes to do smart things, so you need to constantly keep your head in a late 70's "this hasnt been done before" mindset. If you can do that you're in for some good suspenseful moments.

      I think it has aged pretty well to be honest. It's true that you can't place it outside the time of landline telephones, but that's part of its charm to me. Besides that Laurie's just being a straight-edge babysitter, not an idiot like her friends.

    Хороший обзор. При упоминании разных домов и кельтских знаков в 4 части я была удивлена, потому что при просмотре сразу и не заметила их. Единственное, с чем бы я могла поспорить - локация во 2 части. Неизвестная больница создаёт для меня большее давление, нежели знакомый дом. А так спасибо за рассказ. Однозначно лайк)
    Good review. When I mentioned different houses and Celtic signs in 4 parts, I was surprised, because when I saw them I did not notice them at once. The only thing I could argue with is the location in 2 parts. An unknown hospital creates more pressure for me than a familiar house. And thanks for the story. Definitely like)

    I'm glad to hear this, because it just reminded me that Halloween H20 is literally the same fucking plot as the 2018 Halloween film, but everyone chose to forget that!

    • @tylerknewturk1823

      Same plot, different execution. Laurie is a different character in 2018 and in 2018 world, Halloween 2 never existed.
