Wait, so Jamie Lee Curtis was just singing random lyrics then 40 years later, they decided to transform it into a full song?? The dedication behind that amazes me.
I love how you pointed out that Laurie was actually the ‘new Loomis’. She knew he was evil and wanted him dead. It consumed her life, just like it consumed Loomis’. 🎃🖤
I like how in H20 Laurie said that she hoped and prayed that her brother wouldn’t find her. Where as in Halloween 2018 she said to Hawkins that she’s prayed every night that he would escape. It’s like we’ve seen Laurie portrayed differently and I think Jamie lee Curtis has done such an excellent job.
I have to rewatch them, but, I used to wish, hope and pray that my abusive ex wouldn't find me. To the point that my son and I where couch hopping bc he always found us. We where afraid of staying somewhere to long. Now, I want him to find me. I want to get that confrontation dealt, & over with. I stopped running years ago. I'm mentally ready to put it behind me.
@@xLoVeKiLlS2829x What you just said here reminds me of my abusive ex-wife. The barrage of insults & non-stop rage was unberable. Her corrosive behaviour would drive you insane. I am glad you are doing fine now.
You know gay guys can like horror movies too. Saying “sissy boi’s” in this breakdown and confusing Chucky’s child as being bi instead of trans when J. Tilly even uses ‘they’ for their pronouns, and wondering on your show is it wrong to call a gay person gay, when clearly Chucky was being insulting is kinda close minded dude. Maybe ease up on that. I like your channel other than that stuff…
Laurie causing the bus crash which freed Michael always felt to me like what was supposed to happen. It's a shame that the test audiences didn't agree.
@@BoniJNeto she’s obsessed when the movie starts. People keep saying he’s just a guy who randomly killed a few of her friends and she should be seeking therapy instead of buying guns. He’s been locked up for 40 years in this timeline. Laurie freeing him and realizing that he’s not obsessed with her like she thought and trying to stop him is still a redemptive arc.
@@rubberlover666 I’m not sure if it could really entirely make sense though. If she caused the crash it would make sense given her obsession to go inside the bus and absolutely make sure to finish the job (make sure he’s dead). In that case the only two likely outcomes would be that he either kills Laurie or has to run away from her. In my opinion if he ran away from her so early on it would be way less satisfying to see her become the hunter again in the climax of the movie.
@@the1brucewayne But, like CZ said, that would fit in nicely with the “gender swapped” roles in this film. Laurie is now the obsessed one who has been waiting patiently for years for a chance to kill Michael. It would be her stalking him through Haddonfield. It would also be her realizing she wasn’t chosen for a reason, and that even if she killed Michael, he already won because he took 40 years of her life away. It would then be her trying to honestly rebuild her life. I wonder if any of that will be in Halloween Ends?
I believe the dollhouse was Laurie’s house in 18. It both represented Laurie’s obsessive nature with knowing the layout of her house but pushing it to Karen as a young girl. It’s Karen’s toy but it’s also a training exercise in survival merging the messed up parenting Laurie gave her and her childhood innocence. It burning is just meant to parallel the actual house burning
The white horse could be a reference to the four horsemen of the apocalypse, the white horse being ridden by a figure that often represents pestilence/the anti christ/conquest. Michael has been a plague onto haddonfield and the strode family, and as an embodiment of evil, could be likened to the anti christ. And with Laurie being the main person to survive him, he could see her as the thing he needs to conquer, and Laure likewise might feel the same, that she needs to conquered him, for the alternative is death
I don't remember if you stated your "Laurie Causing the Bus Crash" theory in a prior video or I saw elsewhere, but in any case, I'm glad the filmmakers didn't commit to that as it would drastically lower any sympathy for Laurie as she and Dr.Sartain would be directly responsible for the murder spree in this film and Halloween Kills. On paper it makes sense, but in execution could drastically backfire as the audience and fans of the character would see this as an irredeemable act. You end up wanting The Shape to kill Laurie for her sins. In a separate continuity, she unintentionally beheaded an innocent man because Michael switched places. As a character, Laurie isn't tainted by the act, but causing a bus crash to satisfy her need for Vengeance? She'd be no better than Michael Myers.
Fun fact. The "lady in the window" that gets stabbed in the neck is a friend of mine. Her hair at the time was past her butt and she said she lost hair for like 3 days because he yanked it so hard. She's a stunt woman and a kung-fu instructor. She could literally take him out in real life 🤣. We worked on the Divergent series together. Marian is a cool chic.
@@jaquan323 she was reffering to James Jude Courtney, the actor who was playing Michael Myers.. she couldnt beat Myers in real life because.. well.. Michael isnt real clown
Only new to this channel but I’m so impressed with how much detail you get into with all these movies. I just watched some of your Final Destination videos and loved them. Keep up the good work🎉
The untied shoelaces thing might also be a clever nod to “The X-Files”/Vampire lore. In the “X-Files” episode “Bloodbath” in season 12, Mulder and Scully run afoul of some vampires in a small town and Mulder knew that, at least in this version of the lore, vampires are extremely neat and anal retentive and that they are bothered by shoelaces that are tied while not being worn. The patient in question in “Halloween” (2018) apparently required an umbrella to keep the sun off of him, similar to a vampire who could not stand direct sunlight.
Another idk if you want to call it an Easter egg, but during the scene when Michael looks at the baby I’ve noticed at first the baby is crying, but when Michael walks over and looks at the baby before walking off subtitles say the baby soothes, dropping the crying act. Weird and I wonder what they meant by that
An additional (albeit looser) element that I felt tied H18 to Halloween II is how Loomis and Laurie both give a brief farewell to Michael before setting the fire that is meant to kill him. Loomis: "It's time, Michael." (flicks lighter that causes explosion) Laurie: "Goodbye, Michael." (drops flare to start housefire)
@@SmudgyCritiques I agree, I thought it was weird. In their last Halloween breakdowns it was more far balanced. Either Jimmy didn’t have a lot of input for this video or he didn’t have alot of time to record his portion.
My theory as to why Michael ignores babies and kids, he was said to be killing to get home and he’s just murdering anyone he comes across. While that must be true, the movie stated it after all, I think he is sort of like a wild animal. He’s killing anything he THINKS will get in his way to getting home. He’s territorial and will also kill anything INSIDE his home. So he is specifically killing those he deems as a threat to him or his territory. Kids aren’t a threat to him so he ignores them. Animals have been seen doing something similar, while of course not always especially with predators, but they have been seen ignoring/avoiding kids of other species or of their own species if they aren’t hungry, invading their territory, or a threat. So I’m curious if that was on purpose with all this “Predator Prey” themes they’ve been having in the new trilogy. Then again this is probably pretty established and I’m just voicing something everyone already knows 😂 Anyway, happy Halloween 🎃🖤🖤🖤
My only question then is why did he kill the kid at the crash site? That was the only thing that seemed out of character to me since he ignored all other kids.
Ever since I first watched this movie (I hadn't seen as many of the previous installments, I think only 2 and H20), I've had this theory that Michael has a passive power: his evil is so powerful it's able to corrupt others. If this is true, it corrupted Laurie, Loomis, Jaimie Lloyd, Sartaine, and even Haddonfield itself to an extent. Everything his shadow touches becomes infected with his poison. I'd love for writers of a future Halloween movie to actually lean into this idea.
I have a huge soft spot for Halloween 2018 as it was my first Halloween Movie and I remember seeing the posters everywhere for this film. Fucking loved it.
@@CZsWorld Great job with this breakdown, but one thing you didn't mention was about the strange woman in the Resurrection bus at the gas station where Michael kills the podcasters. When Aaron, the male podcaster, looks up at her while he's gassing up the car, the woman appears to signal him with her eyes, like she's trying to warn him about Michael. I think she was able to see what was happening in the garage from where she was sitting but was perhaps not able to move for some reason. She is clearly looking from Aaron, over to where Michael is, and then back several times. Maybe it qualifies as something you think everyone would catch while watching? I didn't think so.
How is it that everyone who goes in depth for this movie misses Michael's reaction to his mask. HE LITERALLY FLINCHES as he senses the mask! He can feel it as the British Vlogger says.
I have a theory about the opening title sequences. The original is Laurie is the pumpkin and Michael is the focus of her story. Then the same is there but like it being 40 years later that we are reintroduced to them both and brings life back to the franchise. Then kills has a the fire or chaos of Michael spreads to the town. Hence the fire burning up I can't wait to see how Ends finishes the themes of the opening.
I seen she had the same hat from when she wore back in 1978 Halloween. I did noticed as well the whole she pulled the disappearing act when she was thrown over the balcony trick the way he did when he was shot those 40 years ago. And yes her hunting him in the closet same way with him finding her in the closet and her face emerging from the shadows of the doorway exactly as his was.
So weird i just rewatched H18 this week and noticed what you mentioned about Laurie’s house floors being shot through the basement but when you see closely its tile. Also- in Julians room did anyone notice the pumpkin with the heart eyes Dave brought over was in the fish tank when Hawkins finds Vicky? I was wondering if there was meaning to that? 🎃
I wish they wouldn’t have changed Michael and Laurie being siblings. It would have made more sense/been believable with both of them being ready to finish things.
I think the doll house is actually a recreation of the Doyle house, much like Laurie's house is actually a replica of the Doyle house in a weird way (exposed 2nd floor balcony, slat tri-fold closet, etc.)
The needle hole from when Laurie stabbed him in the neck with her knitting needle, i loved that detail thats visible when myers turns his head to the right right before he kills the woman thats on the phone (halloween 2 sequence) @22:31
Personally, I knew it wasn’t the Myers house right away, due to the roof and middle window. My friend thought it was, though! Side note, I’m glad Jimmy Champane wasn’t in this episode! Edit: oh god, spoke too soon! 😬
I don’t think Laurie is becoming “the hunter”, and I definitely don’t think Michael is now “the hunted”. They are hunting each other, and Laurie just happened to win. She only won because Michael was outnumbered, 3 to 1. Also, Laurie never struck fear into Michael. Michael does not understand how to be afraid, or he just isn’t. He only knows how to make others afraid. If anything, even though Laurie beat Michael, Michael was still very much the predator. Laurie was just smart prey, while also fighting back.
Are you going to do Rob Zombie's Halloweens too? (or have you already?) (before I watched the video) Anyway, I really enjoy these, and especially your collab with Jimmy - you should do it more often :)
35:27 The way they panned down to show Allison holding the knife felt more like they were trying to imply that she's going to go crazy and replace Michael as the new danger, like they did with that shot of Jaime on the stairs.
or it could be that, as this is now the era of elevated horror, they're noding to the fact that in the original slashers, the heroines would always drop the weapons they attacked the boogeymen with because they thought they were dead, but they weren't. I think it's saying both that this heroine is more intelligent than that and that the monster is still alive, so she needs to keep the knife.
I'm surprised that when discussing the deleted scenes from Halloween 2018, and specifically the shower scene, you only mentioned that there was a similar scene in "Halloween 6." While David Gordon Green has sprinkled little odes to the retconned sequels throughout the new trilogy, it was abundantly clear that the sequence had a much, MUCH more notable inspiration: "Psycho." I've no doubt you already know much of this, but I'll share these for your subscribers and occasional viewers. Alfred Hitchcock's most famous film has had several ties to the "Halloween" franchise over the years: Its star, Janet Leigh, was Jamie Lee Curtis's mother who, in perhaps the most notorious sequence in horror film history, was murdered while taking a shower. Janet Leigh later had a small role in "Halloween H20" and her final scene in that film showed her walking to the car she drove in "Psycho" while the soundtrack plays a haunting sample of Bernard Herrmann's iconic score. Additionally, Dr. Samuel Loomis of the "Halloween" films was named after John Gavin's character Sam Loomis, who was the secret lover of Janet Leigh's character in "Psycho." Lastly (though it's likely there were other nods), when casting "Psycho II" in 1982, Jamie Lee Curtis was the director's first choice to play the sequel's female lead, a role that eventually went to Meg Tilly, but Curtis turned down the role as she'd already done two "Halloween" films by then and was more interested in diversifying her career away from the horror genre.
I always thought that the Oscar kill was a Halloween Resurrection reference, since the red head lady who goes to Michael's little sub basement and she is impaled into the gate, Oscar's was just much better xD
@Carra good point I never thought about that but your right. Maybe off topic but..Speaking of Oscar’s death did you/anyone notice or think this as a reference/throwback to Halloween 5 and the man in black? The reason I say this is cuz at the beginning of HKills when Cameron is trying to call Oscar then his VM picks up and when the camera pans up on Oscar’s body he’s all in black..it reminded me of the scene in H5 where the man in black gets off the bus and they pan up a bit after they show his black boots and pants..it kinda reminded me of H5 if that makes sense
Can you do a things you missed on A Clockwork orange. I know it’s not horror movie but it is still a psychiatric movie and Syfy. And also do a horror history on Alex Delarge in A Clockwork Orange if you can’t do that it’s ok if you don’t.😊
90% of this movie is an "homage". Aka, recycled ideas from previous installments of the series, just executed more poorly. Will never understand the hype.
"Apparently, in some alternate version of this movie, they were a couple." Even without seeing that deleted scene, I always assumed that Aaron and Dana were a couple 💀
In the thumbnail on the bottom I swore it was a giant white nipple. Took longer to register then I care to admit. Of course the one next to younger Laurie, thats a hat. The the other, a giant white robot nipple.. can't fool me. Game on.
I did a double take when you said "taking the virgin suicides gate way out", I have never heard of another person talking about that movie. I watched it with my mom when I was about 13 or 14, what a trip.
I view Karen’s gun as a symbol of lightning. I say this because the gun has a lightning bolt and KS engraved on it. I view this as Karen being the lightning bolt that only strikes once.
@@CZsWorld Well, you are bringing joy to the people, so I say it counts lol. But seriously I love your videos, and Halloween and Scream are my favorite franchises and when it comes to analysis and breakdowns, you just get it right and its awesome. I have a lot of anxiety and your videos pull me in and help me calm down, so I really appreciate the time you take to give us all such quality videos.
The scene where the kid runs into Myers is not unlike Frankensteins Monster encoutering the girl by the pond and sparing her. But then dark Anakin bumps into a youngling and it was a little different..Lucas was a huge fan of the Universal Monsters and I believe it was his way of saying Darth is the ultimate villain/monster, also the obvious Frankenstein $#!% with Palpatine and Darth at the end of III.
I most definitely am gonna see this one at the movie theatre, which is where I work. I get 2 free tickets every week, which is awesome cuz I love ♥ watching 😍 movies, especially the ones in the horror genra!!!

I wish they wouldn’t have changed Michael and Laurie being siblings. It would have made more sense/been believable with both of them being ready to finish things.
I think the doll house is actually a recreation of the Doyle house, much like Laurie's house is actually a replica of the Doyle house in a weird way (exposed 2nd floor balcony, slat tri-fold closet, etc.)
Michael unmasked in the car looks like the old man from don’t breathe
You are so right ✅!!
The needle hole from when Laurie stabbed him in the neck with her knitting needle, i loved that detail thats visible when myers turns his head to the right right before he kills the woman thats on the phone (halloween 2 sequence) @22:31
Lol understandably he skipped the rob zombies 😂😂😂
We are better for it
I'll come back for them. Just didn't have time and thought it was more important to hit 2018 and Kills this year before Ends comes out.
@@CZsWorld yea zombies are the reboots so we should do them late4
The truck saying Resurrection could also be a meta reference to how Hollywood likes to resurrect old ips.
12:32-I always thought that was nacho cheese not pudding 🧀🤷🏼♂️
Personally, I knew it wasn’t the Myers house right away, due to the roof and middle window. My friend thought it was, though!
Side note, I’m glad Jimmy Champane wasn’t in this episode!
Edit: oh god, spoke too soon! 😬
Always get a buzz when I see you post a new vid. Always a good accompaniment as I cook dinner. Keep it up my man
food + horror 🖤
There Was Another Reference to H20 When Dave Comes To Julians House! His Horses Name Is Tate, Could That Be a Nod to Kerri Tate? 😁
I don’t think Laurie is becoming “the hunter”, and I definitely don’t think Michael is now “the hunted”. They are hunting each other, and Laurie just happened to win. She only won because Michael was outnumbered, 3 to 1. Also, Laurie never struck fear into Michael. Michael does not understand how to be afraid, or he just isn’t. He only knows how to make others afraid. If anything, even though Laurie beat Michael, Michael was still very much the predator. Laurie was just smart prey, while also fighting back.
CZ Bud I appreciate you and Jimmy's time for all the work you guys put into these
Are you going to do Rob Zombie's Halloweens too? (or have you already?)
(before I watched the video)
Anyway, I really enjoy these, and especially your collab with Jimmy - you should do it more often :)
Yeah, I'll probably circle back to those next year.
A Halloween “Things you missed” on October 1st? Hell yeah 😮💨
35:27 The way they panned down to show Allison holding the knife felt more like they were trying to imply that she's going to go crazy and replace Michael as the new danger, like they did with that shot of Jaime on the stairs.
or it could be that, as this is now the era of elevated horror, they're noding to the fact that in the original slashers, the heroines would always drop the weapons they attacked the boogeymen with because they thought they were dead, but they weren't. I think it's saying both that this heroine is more intelligent than that and that the monster is still alive, so she needs to keep the knife.
10:19 I think the kid mannequin is supposed to represent 6 year old Michael.
Here Professor!
Right on time.
I feel like the callbacks were a way to erase the movies in between original and 2018 and making it Michaels own to show this is the legit timeline
His initials are MAM . Murder And Mayhem
There are now 12 Halloween movies. Season of the Witch is not one of them.
Halloween 3: Season of the Witch.
Don't you dare disparage Tom Atkins
A great 80s horror movie but a terrible Halloween movie
It counts, it's just in a different universe. Ends will be 13.
Julian is a legend period
i thought he threw the phone in nacho cheese, not pudding
I'm surprised that when discussing the deleted scenes from Halloween 2018, and specifically the shower scene, you only mentioned that there was a similar scene in "Halloween 6." While David Gordon Green has sprinkled little odes to the retconned sequels throughout the new trilogy, it was abundantly clear that the sequence had a much, MUCH more notable inspiration: "Psycho." I've no doubt you already know much of this, but I'll share these for your subscribers and occasional viewers.
Alfred Hitchcock's most famous film has had several ties to the "Halloween" franchise over the years: Its star, Janet Leigh, was Jamie Lee Curtis's mother who, in perhaps the most notorious sequence in horror film history, was murdered while taking a shower. Janet Leigh later had a small role in "Halloween H20" and her final scene in that film showed her walking to the car she drove in "Psycho" while the soundtrack plays a haunting sample of Bernard Herrmann's iconic score. Additionally, Dr. Samuel Loomis of the "Halloween" films was named after John Gavin's character Sam Loomis, who was the secret lover of Janet Leigh's character in "Psycho." Lastly (though it's likely there were other nods), when casting "Psycho II" in 1982, Jamie Lee Curtis was the director's first choice to play the sequel's female lead, a role that eventually went to Meg Tilly, but Curtis turned down the role as she'd already done two "Halloween" films by then and was more interested in diversifying her career away from the horror genre.
I always thought that the Oscar kill was a Halloween Resurrection reference, since the red head lady who goes to Michael's little sub basement and she is impaled into the gate, Oscar's was just much better xD
Good point!
@Carra good point I never thought about that but your right. Maybe off topic but..Speaking of Oscar’s death did you/anyone notice or think this as a reference/throwback to Halloween 5 and the man in black? The reason I say this is cuz at the beginning of HKills when Cameron is trying to call Oscar then his VM picks up and when the camera pans up on Oscar’s body he’s all in black..it reminded me of the scene in H5 where the man in black gets off the bus and they pan up a bit after they show his black boots and pants..it kinda reminded me of H5 if that makes sense
Can you do a things you missed on A Clockwork orange. I know it’s not horror movie but it is still a psychiatric movie and Syfy. And also do a horror history on Alex Delarge in A Clockwork Orange if you can’t do that it’s ok if you don’t.😊
Hurricane Ian.
I can’t wait to do Michael Myers again
It's gonna be a banger.
90% of this movie is an "homage". Aka, recycled ideas from previous installments of the series, just executed more poorly. Will never understand the hype.
Every time Mr World talks about 11,22,63 I become a little happier
"Mr World" 😆
@@CZsWorld That shall forever be your name, Zach, Abraham, World
Laurie's daughter Karen is the perfect name for her.
"Apparently, in some alternate version of this movie, they were a couple." Even without seeing that deleted scene, I always assumed that Aaron and Dana were a couple 💀
Everyone talks about Laurie's daughter from Halloween 4 and 5 . But what about her son John (Josh Hartnett) from Halloween H20.
Love this channel!! Get to see Halloween Ends October 12 in Australia,cannot wait! This is what 2022 is all about
😲 You guys get it earlier than us.
@@CZsWorld usually it's the other way around and we get movies after you guys.
The ghost costume thing, you forgot to include rob zombie's one
In the thumbnail on the bottom I swore it was a giant white nipple. Took longer to register then I care to admit. Of course the one next to younger Laurie, thats a hat. The the other, a giant white robot nipple.. can't fool me.
Game on.
I did a double take when you said "taking the virgin suicides gate way out", I have never heard of another person talking about that movie. I watched it with my mom when I was about 13 or 14, what a trip.
Same. I don't even remember how I came across Virgin Suicides
Thank you for your attention to even the minutest of details. That heart pillow and the black globe was a hell of a capture.
Am I the only one that watches cz when going to sleep?
I doo I do that too
It came out noon here in the states
@@greenkoopa oh sorry about that then 😫
relatable
Oh I will put on his videos when I am sick and needing to nap. Very soothing.
I can’t wait till he does Halloween Ends break down trailer video 🍿🎃🎃🎃😈😈😈🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
So these new ones have nothing to do with the older ones except H1 yet we get parts and peices form each one! Sounds like piss poor writing to me!
Today I learned they made Halloween Kills into a book. I saw it at Barns and Noble
also other people didn’t steal your writing they could have just thought the same thing, you’re not genius, you’re not special
@zachcherry you are the best TH-camr
I liked H2018 but Kills kind of ruined it for me. I hope Ends can wrap things up nicely but I'm going in with low expectations...
Andi Matichak has done other things before Halloween.
Hi Czsworld! I love your videos❤️
Thank you hydra! 💀
@@CZsWorld your videos are amazing I love learning about horror movies
My favorite movie in the franchise
I’m not to excited for the new Halloween movie but I am excited for the chucky tv show coming out on the 5th can’t wait for a vid on it later on
H60😭😭😭😭😭 but love this film, really like a mix of all Halloweens lol
I ❤️ Michael Myers
Being a girly boy is bad if you’re dating or married to a woman lol there, I’ll say it 😅
CZ reminds me of the Dr Reed from criminal minds.🖨️💯🧔🏾♂️
I view Karen’s gun as a symbol of lightning. I say this because the gun has a lightning bolt and KS engraved on it. I view this as Karen being the lightning bolt that only strikes once.
You are doing the Lord's work, Sir.
Didn't know the Lord's work consisted of analyzing Halloween movies
@@CZsWorld Well, you are bringing joy to the people, so I say it counts lol. But seriously I love your videos, and Halloween and Scream are my favorite franchises and when it comes to analysis and breakdowns, you just get it right and its awesome. I have a lot of anxiety and your videos pull me in and help me calm down, so I really appreciate the time you take to give us all such quality videos.
The scene where the kid runs into Myers is not unlike Frankensteins Monster encoutering the girl by the pond and sparing her. But then dark Anakin bumps into a youngling and it was a little different..Lucas was a huge fan of the Universal Monsters and I believe it was his way of saying Darth is the ultimate villain/monster, also the obvious Frankenstein $#!% with Palpatine and Darth at the end of III.
Requel=because Hollywood can't cum up with anything new
the chat about gender roles got a little "no homo" for me, but otherwise this was a great video
I just put my cz hoodie in my bag 🙃
🖤 Which one did you get?
2018 was so much better than the 2021 Halloween
Perfect! I’m going down my weekly Halloween rabbit hole and this drops! Let’s go!
WEEKLY?!
@@CZsWorld I blame my anticipation for this new movie 🤣
Gonna go see Halloween ends in theaters
Love that we have the choice to see it in theaters or at home!
@@CZsWorld are you gonna see it in theaters or at home?
I most definitely am gonna see this one at the movie theatre, which is where I work. I get 2 free tickets every week, which is awesome cuz I love ♥ watching 😍 movies, especially the ones in the horror genra!!!
