Chris Stuckmann reviewing a Halloween film on Halloween is a time-honored tradition if ever there was one.
ik right happy halloween bro👍
haha its crazy how long we’ve been watchin I don’t even remember @ this point when I did lol
Soon he will run out of Halloween films to review. Now let that sink in.
I truly believe this is the only reason Hollywood keeps rebooting the series
@@jarjared3522 well he has six more years if he wants to recover the new trilogy and finally discuss Ends long after its release.
This was actually my first introduction in the Halloween franchise. It was the early 2000s I was channel surfing, and this was on HBO. It was a pleasant surprise how this movie was just so engaging.
I called this movie Halloween Water for far too long
Me too.
me too
Your lucky. Mine was resurrection lmao
My introduction as well
The first Halloween I saw as a child from beginning to end, the moment Laurie grabbed the fire axe and screamed "Michael," I permanently became a fan of this franchise.
This movie is incredibly underrated. To be honest, I think the scene with Laurie, intentionally locking herself with Michael, and screaming, "MICHAEL!" while carrying an axe was more badass than what we got in Halloween Ends. When the Halloween theme kicked in, I felt tension and, "oh it is on!" and the same time haha
I think it's because we get a nice character arc. In 2018 shes overdoing it and preparing to fight from the get go, so it's like "ah cool, shes finally fighting him." but in H20 she's actively avoiding him and hiding so by the end she has to turn everything around and stand up and face him.
Exactly, her screaming Michael is soooo good. She’s done hiding and running and it’s time to take a stand. My favorite moment in the movie by far.
TH-cam gotta do something about these scam bots. they are on tons of channels that don't moderate comments.
I haven’t watched this movie in a long time, but I think I remember that part..yeah, that was AWESOME and really bad ass!👌🏻
Low bar. There was nothing bad ass about Halloween Ends. It's the most ambitious of that trilogy and is a bad movie. The first was the most straightforward, yet it managed to drop the ball and set itself on fire. The world wouldn't miss anything without the past 5 Halloween films (and quite a few of the others). The best scenario would be to only have the first - Otherwise, just it and this (H2O).
I know we’ve had Halloween movies since this, and some I’ve really loved, but this is the perfect ending to the Halloween series, I don’t know if it can ever be topped
As I see it, H20 and Halloween 2018 make sublime finales in their own way.
How could you end the series without Michael getting kicked out of a window by Busta Rhymes?
For as flawed as the new trilogy may be, I did at least like Halloween 2018. Plus I do think his mask in 2018 is quite good. It’s my favorite look for the character as well as the original
Halloween 2 or 4 is the perfect ending. It’s not about laurie
Halloween(the actual life experience) isn't the same without your entire month of October Horror. YOU put me in the mood for spooky times. YOU are now our tradition.
Thank you for your dedication to this every year.
Uhhh what? That just means you’re too connected to being online. Go outside and live life.
The ending scene is oddly emotional for me, after being pinned on a tree, Laurie and Michael have a brief moment of symphaty, he is her brother anyway, then she remembers all of her friends and people he killed back then, if thier hands had clapsed he would probably grab and choke her to death, Michael is a monster in the shape of a man whose sole purpose is to kill many people as possible, after Laurie decapitates him she breaths heavily in relief that evil is finally vanquished. Resurrection sadly took a big shit on this perfect ending
Your comment deserves more "likes"... well said and great point!
The moment you realize the H20 team are the ones responsible for Resurrection’s twist
Then the David Gordon Green/Danny Mcbride movies took a bigger crap on H2O's ending as well.
I agree. It was a GREAT ending!! Resurrection sucks ass and totally ruined that ending.
@@ponygon777 not really because there was going to be a movie that revealed every halloween movie was in a multiverse including Rob Zombie's remakes
Halloween 1&2 always felt to me like one movie. If you take the end credits off of 1 and the owning credits off of 2 and put them together then it is an epic horror movie! THAT’S how a sequel should be. My favorite movies to watch for Halloween!
I agree Duane Barnes. Hellraiser and Hellbound: Hellraiser 2 also feel like parts 1 and 2 of the same movie and I think that consistency between movies is admirable.
Did anyone really win anything or os that someone spamming/scamming?
@@nomadicolours That is a scam
All those types of comments on every message board are scams.
One of my all time favorite scary movies. Had the movie on VHS at 8 years old. Nostalgia! 😭
I love everything about this film. The post-Scream vibes, the soundtrack, the setting, the cast, JLC's return, her portrayal of Laurie, Michael's mask (yep), the ending, everything! It all works for me.
The things you like about it is the thing's people don't like it about it
@@NorthPhilly-zr7xc and I don't care :)
Loved the review.
The reason Michael waits 20 years is explained in H20. He killed Judith Myers when she was 17, he tried to kill Laurie when she was 17, and he’s attempting to kill John now that he’s 17… Is that a contrived reason? Sure! Does it make sense that Michael would just chill for that long or even care about people’s ages? Not at all!
We’ve all been on standby for these reviews. Chris is no doubt the biggest fan of Halloween.
This was the first Halloween movie in the franchise that I watched. I was probably about 13 and it was just running on TV late at night and my cousins and I watched it in the dark in the basement. My parents never let us watch horror movies but when my cousins would sleep over in the summer, we'd sneak in the basement late at night and try and find horror movies on TV or DVD's my cousins would smuggle in from their friends. I miss those days
Been going through a tough time and have just been trying to enjoy my favorite time of year and I appreciate you making your Halloween special videos. Helps me stay in good spirits. Thank you for what you do
Oh boy next year we get Halloween: Resurrection aka the movie where Busta Rhymes kung fu kicks Michael Myers out a window.
oh boy yeah 😂
Chris has already done that review with TheFlickPick
HELL YES
That was fire! 😂
Yeeeeeeaaaaaahhhhhhhhh idk about that review boss 😢
I enjoy so much every Halloween special by you Chris, gets me really excited about October! This one was as great as the previous ones
I'm today watching Halloween, Halloween II and H20 because they're my favourite 3 from the franchise. Usually when I finish any movie that you have a review for on here I come back and watch it even if I've seen it before. You caught me with this review for H20 right before I press play and watch it 😂
Perfect timing, Chris.
Yeah 1,2 and H20 are my Halloween trilogy tho I enjoy the others whenever I feel like revisitin them..for me there are things I like and hate about the others but whatever..go Utube - are you a good person by living waters
This movie made me love the franchise. There's a lot to complain about with it but it's nostalgic as hell for me and I still like it.
The ending freaked me out lol 😂
Gotta love how he doesn’t mention “Halloween Ends” when he says “I’ve talked about all the other ones”. He probably hated it like the rest of us😂
He didn't review Matrix Resurrections either, even though he's a huge fan of the series.
He's making films now so he doesn't want to piss of anyone in Hollywood. If he doesn't review a film, it means he hated it like you said.
Chris your Halloween specials give me life 🎃
Wow. I can't believe this might actually be the last halloween review you do. I was a fan of the channel all the way back when you uploaded the very first one. I was still in grade school when that video dropped. Now all these years later I'm 20 and two months away from starting college. Thanks for all the great years of content, Chris.
I loved Josh in The Faculty, so when I saw he was in this I was looking forward to it. For me, Halloween 1, 2, and H2O are my main timeline.
Best part hands down is when she dropped the keys and Michael picked them up to unlock the gate. You realize at that moment that he’s not just some mindless zombie the entire time
Well he did steal car keys in the beginning of the movie and drove to Laurie. That was a big clue he wasn't a mindless zombie...lol
I watched H20 for the first time recently and wondered why so many people hate it. I thought Halloween 1, 2, and H20 make a pretty good trilogy. I also have pretty much all the same thoughts as you on why I liked this movie. I haven't seen the new Halloween trilogy, but from the trailer footage I've seen, I appreciate H20 even more with its realistic take on what Laurie's life looks like 20 years later. Helicopter parent trying to protect her son, alcohol problem to help her cope, and trouble trusting people. BUT not letting her past completely stop her from doing good things with her life. I also really like the ending of H20. I felt that her killing Michael the way she did was satisfying and deserved after so many years. But alas, the Halloween franchise is a cash cow, so they never really planned on letting that be the ultimate ending. Retconning everything but the original Halloween is frustrating. Even if most the movies are bad, the whole obsession with what's canon and what isn't has really ruined a lot of things where we could have just been getting a bunch of fun movies.
Nah, H20 is trash.
Agree 100%
My favorite sequel in the franchise! I used to watch this every year as a kid when they aired it during Halloween on AMC/USA or whatever channel they used to play it on.
For me, this is how Halloween franchise ends.... And Not how it was shown in that Corey Cunningham Michael Cameo movie
After watching the most recent trilogy, my love for this film grew. I think Halloween, Halloween II and H20 are the better trilogy. Sure, the other films have things that I like and or enjoy, but when it comes to the Laurie Strode story, H20 is a fitting ending and my favorite by far. The scene of Michael and Laurie through the door window is iconic and I don't think the rest of the franchise has a moment quite like that.
Moving forward I think it would be great if you review some horror anthologies, a lot of those have amazing Halloween vibes and fit perfect for October 31st. Amazing special this year Chris, THANK YOU!
I really like this film too! I agree the part with Michael Myers hanging from the ceiling was goofy, but it was genuinely exciting and had me intrigued throughout the runtime, and the final showdown was badass. My favorite Halloween sequel.
Happy Halloween Stuckmannizers! Always love October and your content. Good luck tonight...
My first Halloween film in the cinemas, way back in 1998. Loved it then, and even though it does have its flaws, it's still in the upper ranks for me. Thanks for highlighting it!
What an amazing Halloween Special Chris, thank you so much for all the hrad work that goes into these videos and we'll all be here for next years special. :)
I just watched Halloween (1978) & it was really good.
Loving the reviews, glad that your having success but really miss the regular review uploads
I actually really wish Chris would review Halloween Ends. I would love to hear his opinion seeing as the storyline is a bit controversial. But this is good too!
I've been looking forward to this review all year !! Once Again, I have been Stuckmannized
The Stuckmannization of America continues unabated.
When Laurie kneed Michael in the nuts the expression in his eyes said it all. That really took the spookiness out of the film. They showed way too much of his eyes with that mask
I wasnt expecting this comment at all, but I appreciate it.
Something I've noticed in the newest (and supposedly final trilogy) is that even though it wipes the continuity slate clean of every movie except the original Halloween, anybody notice that they've made several nods to the other films? Be it characters saying something, characters doing something, a setting, a shot, they make *numerous* call backs to the non-canon movies.
Halloween Ressurection is one of the GREATEST comedies ever conceived.
I'd love to experience a traditional Halloween in fall but instead I live in Australia and we're all sweating in every crevasse this time of year.
You’d probably find autumn interesting then. The air has a cool crispness that’s very unique.
@@copperridgegrow3940 Even winters are hot over here. Ya'll Americans complain about the heat and I'm sitting here drenched in sweat with the air conditioner on the lowest setting it can go. It's one of my life goals to experience a traditional October and December akin to the movies I grew up with ala Halloween and Home Alone.
Been waiting for this one!
They doing this to Chris too?!!
First Jeremy, now Chris is reviewing Halloween: H20. Guess I gotta revisit this entry.
Halloween H20 was so good..and it had the perfect ending for Laurie Strode..the franchise really ended here
Halloween 2018 would've been a fine ending too
Happy Halloween! Chris and yes this movie I watched this month and I really enjoyed it. It's best I was thinking you're gonna review Halloween Ends or not ?!
Do a review of halloween Ends
I loved this movie when I saw it in the theaters in the nineties and I believe it becomes better every year! I really still do believe this is the perfect finale...
The perfect ending to a Halloween movie, until busta rhymes wanted to have a kung fu battle with Micheal Myers smh
Happy Halloween 🎃 I had so much fun with these reviews. You got me into the spirit. Thank you. 🙂
Hearing Chris call John his buddy again made me unbelievably happy. 🥲
Chris, please do another video with him soon! You guys have such great on-screen charisma and your friendship has always been a delight to watch over the years.
Halloween H20 literally is the movie that made me care about the Halloween franchise to a degree, and love Laurie Strode as a character, and it also made me a fan of the Scream franchise (due to the music being borrowed from the first two, and so much more interesting things I looked up about). Seriously underrated film, and is my favorite Halloween film without a doubt.
I would be really interested in Chris's opinion on the Rob Zombie Halloween movie.
This is hands down the best Halloween Sequel ever!
No, it isn't.
I find the set up for Laurie in this film much more believable than the one in 2018. I feel like the situation Laurie was in between 2018 and Ends should have flipped because it made absolutely no sense why Laurie would be so paranoid about an event that happened nearly 40 years prior and her actual involvement in was very minor with the actual killer being locked up. Ends had her over the events of the 78’ film + the Trilogy and writing a memoir about it when legit Michael was actually still in the loose after killing like 100 people. H20 was a much more realistic set up with Laurie being somewhat paranoid but still able to have a normal life even though she went through two films with Michael in this universe.
Jamie Lee Curtis has said Laurie in 1978 would have received no mental health care after that evening and was sent back to school and told to get on with her life. She was traumatised and received no help. In 2018 she believes Michael is after her and will come for her but as we find out he didn't care and it was just the evil doctor forcing them together. It's mentioned in Ends that she got sober and received help and has now come to terms with the fact Michael was never after her: it was just unfortunate circumstance. She went from believing he was the unstoppable boogeyman in 2018 to "just a man" in Ends.
Amazing Halloween H20 Review Chris, thank you for all the 10th annual Halloween special and have a happy Halloween 🎃
was constantly refreshing today waiting for this review to pop up
The 2018 doesn’t recognize the second for a pretty good reason to be honest, David Gordon Green actually almost kept it canon in his film up until they started writing it when Danny McBride convinced him to drop it, the reason is the twist, Laurie being Michael’s sister, John Carpenter has said that twist was a mistake himself and changed Michael from no motive to someone hunting his bloodline, the takeaway for DDG was that it’s much scarier when it’s random and I agree with that.
Hey thanks, you have something to claim, text me
Happy Halloween! Thanks for continuing to bring us awesome content.
Nice to watch this on Halloween. Little home sick since I have to be out of town on a film project and not able to enjoy Halloween with my wife but nice to watch your reviews, love it and keep it up.
Happy Halloween 🎃Great content as always, are you planning on releasing a Halloween ends review?
Fun fact: at one point in the movie, Scream 2 plays on the TV, meaning that the Scream movies exist in the Halloween universe (at least in the H20 timeline). But obviously, the Halloween movies are mentioned in the Scream universe, so…
Will say would’ve loved to see your review of ends
Totally agree with Chris' thoughts on H20 (except the hanging from the bar part, I actually love that).
Instead of a "Halloween" movie on 10/31, it'd be fun for Chris to review some truly classic horror movies on Halloween day. Universal monster movies, Hammer Horror films, and Hitchcock thrillers.
My biggest issue with this movie is how they use a lot of the original Scream soundtrack for the chase sequences. This came out shortly after that series revived the slasher genre, and adding songs from that movie to a Halloween movie made it so apparent that they were trying to replicate Scream’s success. Still enjoy H20, but the original Halloween will always be my favorite. Keep up the great work, Chris!!
Jeremy reviewed this film recently as well, so it’s cool seeing you do a review of it as well
I’m so bummed Halloween is over. Chris posting about horror cinema all month has been a blast.
I can’t believe this is the 10th annual special ! 10 years !!!
Hearing your brief thoughts on Ends makes it clear why you haven’t reviewed it! I toootally agree with your thoughts.
Agreed. Love this movie. Tense, economical, efficient and with the perfect ending. My favorite outside of Halloween 1978.
Your Halloween special is one of my favorite things about October! Good job Chris!
🔝Thanks ! Feel free to reach out i have something for you 📦
This is my favorite movie out of the franchise 💜
Your Halloween Special's make my October and Halloween. Thank you so much for making the effort for these
H20 was a great entry in the series. I love that they got Jamie Lee back, the fact that they kept close to the original in terms of story simplicity , and Chris Duran played a good Shape. My only issues are the inconsistencies with the mask and the decision to not let this be the finale. Resurrection should not have happened.
I was going to suggest Trick r Treat for Halloween next year. But I just found out you already did a review four years ago 😁😁🎃🎃 a rewatch is always good!
Definitely love your channel, you do a great job and it feels like a real show cause well it is! soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..........I know everyone and their mother has done one....but you kinda have to do one also on the new Halloween ends debacle. I think to me where most of the movies fall short is they never really go back to the basic reason the 1st worked so well. the mystery, the face in the window, the shape staring at you across the street ...eerie and dark....Yes we know who he is now but I think they can still make him creepy instead of just a slasher....anyway...always enjoy you! and you are one of the few I listen to LOL :) lets hear it! ....the mood the sad and the yuky :) Cheers Lad!
Halloween H20 is one of my favorite films in the series. Chris Durand who played Michael Myers in this film was exceptional as the Shape. Jamie Lee Curtis once again is at her best as Laurie Strode! Best kill in the film is when Michael kills Laurie’s boyfriend similar to the nurse in Halloween 2 (1981).
Listen Chris, as a guy in his 40s, I got back on the basketball court with some college kids...and damn I never felt more slow motion in my life!!!!!! Lol. I agree, he needed to slow down and be a brutal tank. Thanks for the series. Looking forward to the movie. Stay great!!!!
It's crazy how long Chris has kept this tradition up. On top of the Halloween special we always get to look forward to a Halloween review at the end. Can't wait for the 11th one when we finally get to see Chris talk about Busta Rhymes kicking Michael Myers through a wall.
Ah, damn nevermind.
Chris you have gone above and beyond here. Every single reason I love this movie and consider it my personal ending to the series (Resurrection can just be looked at as a funny brain fart of Moustapha Akkad who had it written into the damn contracts that Michael could never die… 😒) and put it into words perfectly. I cannot stand the new “Trilogy” (Rob Zombie’s films are also fodder, but at least his Halloween 2 had the balls to really go in an insanely different direction) for the very reasons you brought up too. I hated 2018 and vowed to never watch the rest. A vow I partially broke by trying to watch Kills when I knew Ends was coming and I tried to give the whole thing a second chance and I just could not do it. So H20 is where it ends for me. Laurie is just so much better represented by the film and Jamie really tore into it. Josh Hartnett is also very likable. Fun fact, he shot this and The Faculty either simultaneously or back-to-back, but H20 came out first and so it got the Introducing credit for Josh. This video really made my day. Thank you Chris.
P.S. I am surprised you didn’t mention the treatment of the Marion Chambers Nurse character played by Nancy Stephens (who played her in the first two and also came back for Kills). I think H20 handled her death so much better and also made me truly feel for her as not only did she go down fighting (something Stephens herself appreciated), but she also tried to protect Laurie and it was noted that she took care of Loomis in his old age until he died. That made her death count so much more.
For a second at the end I thought you were gonna say you were retiring the whole Halloween Specials altogether. You scared me, Chris!! You scared me.
Hey Chris, was hoping to see a Halloween Ends review, but I understand why you’re choosing not to. Anyways, great review of H20 & really looking forward to Shelby Oaks! Cheers :)
I think the one thing I might disagree with you a bit is how Michael moves. I mean, yeah, he's not in his 20s anymore, but 41 isn't exactly old for a guy who (suspension of disbelief) seems to have kept in reasonable shape since 1978 (both ignoring and factoring in the movies H20 retcons). The big reason why this doesn't bother me much, however, is if you go back and watch Halloween (1978) Michael moves faster and more deliberately than what most people remember. Yes, he walks when he could run, but when he walks across the street to a screaming Laurie trying to get into her house, he's walking pretty fast, whereas other Halloween films (including II from '81) he really, really moves slow. When Michael knocks Laurie off the staircase in '78, he looks over the railing and practically runs down the steps. When she's in her house telling the kids to hide and Michael winds up behind them and starts to chase them, he's walking, but it's pretty deliberate and aggressive. It isn't a zombie walk. I could forgive Michael walking slower in Halloween 4 because the guy just came out of a coma, but in H20, with that being retconned, it doesn't surprise me that Michael would be back to moving more like a motivated, flesh and blood killer.
Your package includes 1 ps5 console, one M1pro MacBook, one game discs and a gaming monitor Grand Inquisitor’s Double Bladed lightsaber
Alright I love your reviews for the Halloween franchise! Happy Halloween 🎃
Chris, I really hope you keep reviewing Halloween movies every year. I know you already talked about Resurrection with The Flick Pick, but I would still like to see a review of that on your own channel. But if you want to skip that one and just review the Rob Zombie movies, that's fine too. Even if you don't like those movies, I would still like to see your thoughts on them.
Your Halloween videos bring me more happiness than family holiday events. Thank you for another great year!
I think I've re-watched this one more than any other movie in the series, it just seems to have a very nice flow all the way to the end. And I love what they did to Curtis' character; it feels like a realistic development to such a surreal but brutally real incident as the one depicted in the first two films. She is supposed to be a normal woman caught in an absurdly awful situation; of course she would be afraid - paranoid even - and develop anxiety, some sort of self-destructive habit for comfort, and be a handful of misery and rage for anyone close to her. And of course she would, at least partly, understand it, but be almost unable to do anything about it, however much it ruined her life or hurt the people that she cares for.
At the same time this movie has some of the goofiest scenes I've ever seen in a movie in general. The opening scene where the nurse sends a child in her house where a burglar may still be is so stupid, as well as everything that happens after, including how the neighborhood suddenly becomes seemingly abandoned, and the police take so much - and just the right amount of time - to arrive. The fact that papers regarding Laurie's fate are just in an office, not secured or hidden much just adds to the hilarity of it all.
And the slaughter-fest in the end is kind of tame. Two kills not on camera, Will dispatched very quickly - after one of the worst excuses for a "mistake" one could make, Ronald pretty much doing nothing when stuff starts happening, and the way the whole thing seemed to take place in the same 3-4 rooms plus a hallway.
All that being said I still prefer it to the over-written and produced 2018 version - as much as I loved the violence there, and that movie's Laurie "Rambo" Strode.
I've always thought that, at least dramatically speaking, H20 was a perfect ending to the series. Laurie stopped running, fought back, and ended Michael for good. I agree with Chris on Resurrection. Hard to believe that even happened.
I have that shirt. Wore it when I saw Kills & Ends in the theater. This is my 2nd favorite in the series after the original. It’s a better version of 2018 and a way better finale than Ends.
Thank you Chris! I have watched all the movies you reviewed this year and inmediately after, your videos. It's been awesome! Happy Halloween 🎃 everybody!
I love your reviews. Very interesting and entertaining. However there was something you missed… Josh Hartnett’s character turns 17. The scene were they’re talking about it Laurie and her BF she turns to the birthday card. That was his motive of coming now, I believe.
Halloween 1, 2 and H2O will always be my preferred and accepted canon trilogy
🔝Thanks ! Feel free to reach out i have something for you 📦
I really wanna hear your thoughts on the Rob Zombie Halloween movies!
Happy Halloween Chris. I’m already waiting for 11 next year!
The final showdown in this is Way better than in Halloween Ends. Also, it's been too long for a John Carpenter move, he stated before that he would love to adapt Dead Space into film, and that would be awesome.
Nice Family Video signs behind you. I almost got a few when they shut down.
H20 is a testament that 90s horror movies are great.
I love this movie, it's my favorite after the original. I totally agree about the mask though, I found this video cause I was actually wondering if anyone had used a face swap or deep fake to give him the 1978 mask in any scenes lol. That would be sweet, someone just go through and make a version of this film with Michael wearing the 78 mask in all his scenes :)
Love the video only one issue Michael Myers didn’t wait for Lori. He was waiting for her son to turn 17. He just happened to have found Lori
We just rewatched this film this year again, and absolutely loved it. I preferred this Laurie to the one in the new film. This is a strong woman, who has her issues but doesn’t completely collapse because of what happened to her 30+ years ago. Very enjoyable. Way more than the new ones imho. Thanks for the review!
It's brief but the film actually does offer an explanation as to why now. Laurie has a realization that he killed Judith when she was 17, didn't come after her until she was 17 and now that John has turned that age...it's never said why but I think it's a good compromise between offering a reason and not outright explaining everything like people didn't like in the sequels.
Anyway H20 is my favourite of the sequels, and I prefer its characterization of Laurie to the 2018 film. She had more growth, more struggles and way more going on than this one-dimensional crazy survivalist. I just never thought the 2018 film was more than 'fine', but I think H20 is a legitimately good movie. The call backs and role reversals, and bringing back Marion Chambers and giving Janet Leigh a cameo...it felt like a proper reunion and finale to salute the franchise. But I agree that it's a bit too short, and I would have liked the Michelle Williams character to get a little more development. They're all very minor gripes compared to my ones with the 2018 film though. Glad to see H20 getting more recognition.
What I like about the H20 timeline is that you get to play around with in your head is what Michael Myers has been doing for 20 years until he found where his sister was. I like to believe that he was stalking and killing other innocent people during that time and that he was wearing different masks and costumes as well. Also showing how evil he is because he'll go after other people too than just family. I think that's what they were trying to hint at in all the newspapers in the opening sequence. I think there's also comics based on that too. Non-canon though.
Thank you for appreciating this movie, I also think it's a little short but it's always been a favorite Halloween for me
