these docs are keeping me from jumping off a roof due to covid and loss of employment and a world that is falling apart. watching these has really helped me stay calm.
1st Halloween I saw in theaters, it was packed with people. The crowd went insane when I saw this movie, they clapped, cheered, they screamed, they laughed, it was a fun ride. Definitely a crowd pleaser horror film. I was about 13 years old and the movie actually scared me, Michael Myers was very intimating on the big screen. I felt the movie had good actors, great build up and suspense, the music score hit the mark. I love this movie, compared to the other Halloween films, I give it an 8/10.
i love this movie, one of my favorite slashers. Jamie was great, Michael Myers too, i love Jodi Lyn O'Keefe and Josh Hartnett. don't know why all hate ?? people you are never satisfied
I think josh gets a bit of grief because he was still so green and it does show a little, doesn't mean he was awful or it was awkward to watch him just means you could tell he was still in the rookie stage when you compare this to movies he starred in years afterwards, I loved him and jodi in this
I liked it too. I do understand that some people thought it was too polished, and had a lot of "Scream" vibes...but I thought it was decent. You can't please everyone.
I enjoy the movie, but it feels more like a Scream movie (which is just not the Halloween feeling) and I can’t stand the H20 version of Michael Myers. And I don’t think H20 gets a lot of hate, definitely not on the level of Resurrection or Halloween 5.
I want more of Rachel Carruthers from 4&5 she was a great addition, and character for the series. prematurely killed and one of the regrets the series has admitted to making.
That was the idea because back then DIMENSION and SCREAM were the it thing of the Slasher genre. Now, It's all about BLUMHOUSE, hence the new Halloween being what I like to call: Blumatized.
I just watched 7 again and I regret it. It is horrible!!! Main reason is the pathetic mask and Josh Harnet's hair. I saw it in the theater too. Holy crap 20yrs ago ... Thank God Jamie Lee Curtis was given a chance to redeem Laurie Strode in 2018
I actually love H20. It had it's flaws and a little to be desired with the plot. The mask situation is so frustrating to hear about. But overall it's a pretty good movie. If you look at Halloween, Halloween 2, and H20 as it's own trilogy it was a solid way to end it.
H20 was disappointing. For me H20 and Resurrection don't exist. I love and prefer Halloween 1978, Halloween 2 1981, and the amazing Thorn Trilogy Parts 4-6 P-Cut.
@@isitoveryet9525 I agree maybe Halloween 5 was the only one out of the Thorn Trilogy that wasn't good, but Halloween 4 and Halloween 6 Producer's Cut were awesome, especially Halloween 6 Producer's Cut was awesome and an extremely dark entry of the franchise, the only downside was Michael Myers impregnating his niece Jamie and the baby being his, but everything else was in Halloween 6 Producer's Cut was awesome and perfectly executed. The Cult of Thorn was awesome too it's the darkest element thing the Halloween franchise has ever delivered, it took Michael Myers to much darker directions ever. It's too bad they never made the sequel that was planned for it which would've definitely been better than all these garbage remakes and reboot sequels we have been getting lately, especially RZ Halloween 2 (2009) and Halloween 2018, which are the worst ones so far of the franchise, both are worse than Resurrection, and speaking of H20, It's not a good movie either, but most certainly not the worst of the franchise either, it does have some redeeming qualities in it and it has more of a believable storyline of traumatized Laurie than Rob Zombie's Halloween 2 (2009) and Halloween 2018, and H20 overall is a much better when compared to Resurrection, both Rob Zombie Halloween films, even though Rob Zombie first Halloween 2007 Theatrical Version movie is ok since Michael Myers in that movie seems believably dangerous especially when he escapes from the asylum by killing all those Police Officers and then dragging their bodies all out through aylum this showing no matter how much security Michael Myers has around him he still manages to escape, something Halloween 2018 failed to do big time, so yes and H20 also is a way better movie when compared to Halloween 2018. Halloween 2018 which not only had a senseless plot of traumatized Laurie, but the way Michael Myers was handled in that movie didn't make him seem believable as this big bad highly dangerous Boogeyman and his escape was terrible and humanized him a lot by having Dr. Sartain being the one helping and planning Michael's escape in the bus crash scene, this showing us audience that Michael Myers would've not escaped on his own if it weren't for Dr. Sartain helping him, this making Michael Myers seem way too human due to the fact he can't seem to escape on his own because of the high security around him, when even Rob Zombie's first Halloween 2007 Theatrical Version Michael Myers was also a mortal human in that movie and Rob Zombie still managed to make Michael Myers seem believably dangerous even with his Michael Myers being a mortal man like in Halloween 2018.
IMO Halloween 4 was superior to Halloween 2. Even John didn't like Halloween 2 and he wrote and directed it, begrudgingly so. I think too many people sleep on Halloween 4. And I think it's due to how it's story and lead characters were botched in Halloween 5 and 6. If you ignore what was done with Jamie and Michael in 5 and 6, Halloween 4 has the most interesting, refreshing and inspired continuation of the Myers story out of prior and later attempts to milk the franchise. And if the producers hadn't meddled and lost the balls to follow through with what happened at the end of Halloween 4 in Halloween 5, rather than just neutering the weight of it's conclusion and Dr. Loomis' mental breakdown, along with Jamie's arc - by making her an ineffectual mute in 5 and then a sacrificial rape victim that gets offed like a side character that never mattered in 6 - it would've been the most interesting, fresh thing done with the film series since the original. But, noooo, can't have anything new and interesting happening, gotta always revert back to the status quo with every "new" movie because monies.
@Barnaby Joe Wigglesabit My mistake, I guess I was confused by Jamie Lee Curtis saying that she found it odd being in a Halloween movie without John present when she came back to do H20. I guess she meant as a producer? Maybe John's presence as a producer was enough to offset some of Rick Rosenthal's shenanigans that we all got to see unfiltered in Resurrection? There's really nothing in common between Halloween 2 and 8. I would've never guessed they were directed by the same director.
So stoked to see the new one. Waited for over a year. Couldn’t wait! Sadly, very disappointed. LOVE H1 ( my fav horror), H2, and H20. HALLOWEEN 2018 had a wonderful intro, but seemed to run out of steam rather quickly. Needed: MORE scenes with Laurie, and LESS with secondary high school kids and a dance NO ONE cares about. Also, the two cops in the cruiser? A chance at humor that fails miserably, yet adds 6 more minutes of screen time. The third act twist was ridiculous and completely illogical. God, I hated it. Wouldn’t see it again for free.
Underrated? Um, it was a box office hit. Praised by critics. And a good majority of Halloween fans place it as the best sequel (not me, in full disclosure, I think it blows). Not exactly underrated. Halloween 5 is underrated. Hell, if anything I'd say it's overrated.
The best part of H20 is when Laurie and Michael come face to face for the first time in 20 years. Interesting that Jamie didn't want to do anymore Halloween sequels and here we have her in the latest Halloween 2018 sequel. The Ottman score sounds like it belongs in Nightmare Before Christmas, not Halloween.
I think Jamie let didn't want to be typecast as the scream queen thus why she turned down Halloween 4 since she wanted to branch out into other roles which is understandable.
I was 6 when this come out. I remember going to my Uncle’s house. He had this on. I watched this when I was 10, it was showing on FX Network. As a kid it just brings back alot of memories.
*UNPOPULAR* *OPINION* : This is the best Halloween movie. I’m not even sorry about it. I love the original and I love Halloween 2018 but H20 is the perfect horror film. It has a great first act, an interesting second act to build the characters (which they did well considering it’s only 86 minutes long) and a phenomenal third act which never lets up from the point of Michael entering the school. It’s relentless. The last 20 minutes of this film are literal horror perfection: Great kills, a prolonged chase sequence, tension and an awesome showdown in the school. Laurie kicking through to that axe and the overhead shot of her walking up to the school screaming ‘Michael!’ is so damn good. And then just when you think it’s over she grabs those keys and drives off in the van with him in the back. Stop it! This film is incredible 😂 Admitted, you can’t beat the style of the first, you just can’t, but seeing Michael and Laurie come face to face in that door window was *ICONIC* and it’s for this exact reason that it’s better. There’s something exciting about meeting new characters in an original horror film for the first time but you know what’s more exciting than that? Seeing them face off again 20 years later. And the fact that it’s someone of Jamie’s calibre is the icing. This was a once in a lifetime thing right? Never would this happen again... And here we are, another 20 years later and Jamie is back again, reprising her role in a new trilogy and honestly, we just don’t deserve it. I know we had a hard time as fans during Resurrection and those Zombie films but this is too much. What an incredible time to be a Halloween fan!
Then it would confirm H3: Season Of The Witch is likely in the same timeline. My theory/view is that H3 is the same timeline as the movies surrounding it. John Carpenter made a movie based on the 1978 babysitter murders. So, in the Halloween universe/reality, there's a movie called 'Halloween' that was made based off the real-life events.
That's a hard sell. Best case it's 3rd, but probably 4th (excluding SOTW). Could have handled the chase throughout the school better (ending) and obviously the mask debacle is unforgivable. I do like it quite a bit, but the OG and 2018 are 100% superior. The original H2 is up for debate, too slow paced for quite a while but last act is tremendous. On another note, 2018 soundtrack is unparalleled. However, opinions vary. Different opinions and civilized debates make the world a better place. No offense intended.
You know everyone talks crap about the guy who did Loomis' voice for H20, but I think they're just trying to nitpick. I think he did a great job. Without bringing Donald Pleasance back from the dead, you'd be hard pressed to get the voice any closer than that. People even say the voice in the new one is better. I can't tell a difference. People just want to hate on H20 for some reason.
I was eleven when I first saw this and I didn't know the difference now as an adult I can hear the difference but it doesn't bother me, he didn't butcher it and he sounded a lot like him so people just need to get over themselves, it was a great little tribute to Donald imo
I had no clue it was a voice over guy doing Donald Pleasences voice, I assumed it was Donald Himself and they had used a sound clip from the original movie of his speech.
@@andrewscott8240 I meant an adult. Between LL Cool J and Busta Rhymes the first is a very good actor aswell as musician but Busta Rhymes is only good in the latter apartment (music). Mess as an actor.
@@andrewscott8240 kids wise yes he is, I heard that he adlibbed most of his lines as for adults LL cool J wins everytime, busta rhymes was just an embarrassment
I liked the scene of Jamie Lee Curtis and her mother Janet Leigh. It was a fitting tribute and nice to see the Car Janet Leigh drove from Psycho in Halloween H2O as well as the subtle music from Psycho as she stood near the car.
H20 isn't bad, but it isn't amazing either. The biggest problem with the film is that it feels more like a Scream movie than it does a Halloween movie. It is too self aware and it has too many wink winks in it. Having Janet Leigh, for instance, was all about winking at the audience and added NOTHING to the story. The film lacks atmosphere. Setting it in California hurt the film and robbed us of the Halloween atmosphete. The opening scene was the only part that really captured that.
@@MrParkerman6 Completely disagree....Like the OP said, it was too self aware. Halloween is legendary, and doesn't need to mirror other franchises, especially Scream.
I am TRULY a Halloween Fanatic! I have every single Movie (vhs), DVD, Figurine, Masks and other collectables. I watch Halloween every single night before bed. My daughter Jaymie was named after Jamie Lee Curtis... The significance behind the story is amazing.
@@jessegotti lol lol EVERY NIGHT lol... I love to watch it while I do artwork! I'm a TH-camr but I also do voice impersonations so maybe after October I'll put Mr. Myers down and focus on my craft lol
I heard that during shooting for H20, Jamie Lee and some of them were in catering, sitting at a table. Rumor is that Jamie dropped a spoon, and Michael walked under the table and got it.
It's funny how from the original Halloween to H20 the world seemed so different, yet from H20 to 2018 not much has changed. If you watch H20 today, the movie looks like it could have come out this year. Clothing styles haven't changed much, the picture quality is HD etc. but when H20 came out, the original Halloween looked so old and dated! Clothes, cars, film quality, hair styles etc. were entirely different! Weird!
The 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's all had very distinctive styles and are easily recognizable. You're right, everything seems to be stuck in the 90's (except for cell phones). It's kind of sad how everything is so bland and boring now but probably appropriate for the dystopian, totalitarian era we seemed to be headed towards.
That's completely untrue. Lots of things have changed since 1998. In H20 there's no cell phones, the cars are way old, now. As far as fashion, in the 2010's retro clothes are fashionable. I 100% disagree with your assessment
I wouldn’t say it looks like it came out this year lol but I get your point, the differences between the late 70s to late 90s seem a lot more drastic than late 90s to today.
First Halloween I saw when I was 9. Scared the shit out of me. Still my second favorite Halloween. So many iconic moments. A very under appreciated film
Fantastic and revealing doc!!! So much I didn't know about it. That Dr. Loomis's voice is not really Donald? Wow. Also good to see the cast returning to talk about it. I quite like H20, probably the 3rd favorite in the whole series
My favorite scene from H20 is when Laurie tells Michael after crashing him out of the window of the van to come on, and he rolls over to his back, then she says get up, and he sits up almost like in the original. Love that part.
Would've loved to see Michelle Williams in this doc, i believe Durand played one of the best Michael, he had this movements and phisically he looked a lot like Nick Castle imo, this is a great upload, keep'em coming!
@Yeeyee Bubba agree to an extent.. I would NEVER compare Durand to Castle BUT saying Durand was awful is just plain fucking stupid.. he made it his own and I didn't mind it at all
This is the one that got me started on my Halloween craze. Saw this when I was 14 in Ocean City Maryland one rainy day. Been in love with the franchise ever since
I agree! I always loved Chris Durand as Michael in H20 growing up. Still do. And there was just something about the mask in the movie that I love. 35:28 I loved that mask in the movie. Not the CGI and cartoony mask though. 28:01 just looks terrible. But yeah I agree. H20 is my fav. as well.
It’s so interesting to hear that all the anamorphic lenses at the studio were being used on other films the studio was then currently producing. I love Movies, I love everything about them.
I liked this movie when it came out. I saw it in the theater when I was 17. When I watched it 20 years later, I hated it. It's got too many late 90s horror tropes - jump scares, cheesy music when a character's hand falls on another character's shoulder preceding the jump scare, and your typical Dawson's Creek casting. I was happy that 2018 was a direct sequel to the original, doing away with the whole 'hurr durr Michael always comes after his family' thing. He's far more terrifying as a random, don't care who you are, killer.
I watched this Movie only just the other day, and it immediately became my favorite after Halloween 1978 and Hallowen II 1981. But, I haven't seen the 2018 Movie yet … :-D
From what I read and saw, they were going to make H7 and that's when JLC approached them about John and Debra returning for a definitive anniversary Halloween. What I remember is that little by little, it all just fell apart and eventually became Halloween H20. Debra became disinterested, John left because he wasn't appreciated enough, the script changed so much and it became the furthest thing from what I think JLC and John wanted in the end. Then they screwed JLC by putting it into her contract that Michael cannot die.
Someone please explain to me, what’s wrong with his haircut? I’m sorry I’m just really like that old fashioned and maybe that’s the case? Many people say Josh’ hair is bad but why? Please 😅explain😅
I've ALWAYS admired special features,especially,THE MAKING OF!!! I appreciate it just as much as the finish product,it's like ice cream after supper :-) a TH-cam reviewer once mentioned that someone told him this film,H2O is the sequel worthy to the first 2 films& it's very true,Lori shrode vs his brother storyline series which is a trilogy!!
The cast and crew was so great for this movie and it’s such a disgrace how the new movie is saying that it does not exist and all that hard work doesn’t matter
I felt that way when this one retconned 4/5. Danielle Harris did such a good job as Jamie Lloyd. Now not only has poor Daniel been retconned twice, they've given Laurie a different daughter.
Movie Man , that is the dumbest comment I have ever heard. Myers has been done to death and milked just about every drop. The new movie merely reset the time line JUST LIKE H20 DID so that it could tell a fresh story. Your post is idiotic on every level.
I actually much prefer h20 to Halloween (2018) I prefer Laurie’s story arc, I think it’s less sensationalist than her storyline in the new one. Also the scene where Laurie breaks the gate controller and grabs the axe and screams Michael is amazing
It's unfortunate that they had to edit out one of the best stories (likely legal reasons). In their attempt to cash-in on Scream, the producers desperately wanted Kevin Williamson's name on the writing credits. They wanted Zappia (the writer) to give KW a "story by" credit. He refused. They took it to the WGA (writer's guild), they ruled in Zappia's favor. Bob Weinstein personally calls Zappia, begging him to allow the "story by KW" credit, offering him 50,000 to do so. Zappia says "nope!" Weinstein up's the offer to 75,000 and a 3-picture deal. Zappia says "Yep!" Problem is WGA already ruled and wouldn't allow it changed. Weinstein is enraged and berates Zappia. Ultimately, they end up slapping Kevin Williamson's name on it anyway (forget what credit it was). Ah, Hollywood!
I think one of the genius concepts to make this movie work was to have it set in a private school way out and nowhere and far away from haddonfield. I believe Jamie Lee Curtis references the school being in California. All horror movies are left with questions. Mine was how did Michael Myers Drive to California? Anyway my second favorite Halloween movie in the franchise.
H2o to me is The most underrated of the Halloween series
Halloween 6
Pope Marinus III A decent script and actual characterizations. I understand, your brain must have been fried by that.
I totally agree.
Nah it's shite. Scream with a Myers mask on it.
I totally agree!
H20 will always have a special place in my heart cause it was the first Halloween i saw in the theater.
Your lucky.im 10 at this time the movie comes out.its a masterpiece🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃
dirty06maggor - That's called nostalgia. Atleast resurrection wasn't the first one you saw.
And it still holds up.
I think i saw what you was saying?
Dirty06maggot ur lucky my first Halloween movie was the new one that came out in 2018 that was my first Halloween movie in the theatre
This is one of my favorite Halloween movies ever
Thank you a lot for like my comment
It's not like there's 25 Halloweens, so to be "one of" is not that impressive
@Dench2020 there's nothing wrong about liking a movie. Get a life

Hey you doing better these days?
YAY the 1080p version of this documentary is back
Right!??? I was happy to see it pop back up!! 🎃🙌🏻
I wish John carpenter would have chose to do this movie but it still turned out really good to me
The producer wouldn’t pay him
Jamie Lee has always been humble and grateful for her fans and thankful for her career

I bet it’s trippy for Jamie lee Curtis to watch Halloween H20 and 2018 Halloween to see herself at 20 years old 40 years old and 60 years old lol
If u are in your 30s this is your favorite sequel
Matt W not by a long shot. Been a fan since 96 (I was 10) and H20 is near the bottom of my list.
@suny123boy1 Not for me. Still prefer the original Halloween II over this one any day of the week.
alucard624 Halloween II is really great - my go-to Halloween movie
VegasMatt you are very true. My first halloween i saw. I was 9 years old

I want more of Rachel Carruthers from 4&5 she was a great addition, and character for the series. prematurely killed and one of the regrets the series has admitted to making.
Dawson's Creek meet Michael Myers
Myers 1978 it’s so shiny
Perfect Statement 👍🏼 Ive had always the dawsons creek feeling
Basically
Sure you don’t have evil masks, or psychic kids in it. I understand how it can be confusing to shit brains like you.
Because of one actor from Dawson's Creek. Great, bro.
I liked H20 but felt it was too polished, given the ‘90s scream look and soundtrack it had.
h20 was aweful
After the original and now the new one h20 is my fave

I saw this at the show back then. #FeelnOld
It was more than that
Awww Jamie was so sweet during that whole broken foot ordeal. I love her.
Shes a liberal though!

Thanks for posting this! I've been dying to see it but the Shout Factory releases are not available in the UK, so thank you.
"You can't steal Michael's identity and get away with it." Shiiiit. Ask Busta Rhymes. 😂😂😂😂
This was first back to original idea on Halloween... Rest in peace Dr Sam Loomis. But yeah, I still did loved parts 4,5 and 6 with dark storylines.
I still enjoyed h20 bit more then 2018
*UNPOPULAR* *OPINION* : This is the best Halloween movie. I’m not even sorry about it. I love the original and I love Halloween 2018 but H20 is the perfect horror film.
It has a great first act, an interesting second act to build the characters (which they did well considering it’s only 86 minutes long) and a phenomenal third act which never lets up from the point of Michael entering the school. It’s relentless. The last 20 minutes of this film are literal horror perfection: Great kills, a prolonged chase sequence, tension and an awesome showdown in the school. Laurie kicking through to that axe and the overhead shot of her walking up to the school screaming ‘Michael!’ is so damn good. And then just when you think it’s over she grabs those keys and drives off in the van with him in the back. Stop it! This film is incredible 😂
Admitted, you can’t beat the style of the first, you just can’t, but seeing Michael and Laurie come face to face in that door window was *ICONIC* and it’s for this exact reason that it’s better. There’s something exciting about meeting new characters in an original horror film for the first time but you know what’s more exciting than that? Seeing them face off again 20 years later. And the fact that it’s someone of Jamie’s calibre is the icing. This was a once in a lifetime thing right? Never would this happen again...
And here we are, another 20 years later and Jamie is back again, reprising her role in a new trilogy and honestly, we just don’t deserve it. I know we had a hard time as fans during Resurrection and those Zombie films but this is too much. What an incredible time to be a Halloween fan!
Jarred Knox Is that you hate H20 so much or can’t understand someone not having the first be their favourite? Tell me.
Watching Scream 2 in Halloween:H20, what if the girls were watching Scream 1 where Randy is watching the first Halloween.
Lee Scott mindblown😆
Then it would confirm H3: Season Of The Witch is likely in the same timeline. My theory/view is that H3 is the same timeline as the movies surrounding it. John Carpenter made a movie based on the 1978 babysitter murders. So, in the Halloween universe/reality, there's a movie called 'Halloween' that was made based off the real-life events.
@@ericconnor708 stupid theories
One of my favorite Halloween movies, if not my favorite! This is also my favorite documentary that I've seen!
Stop writing "favorite"
@@fendertremolo9793 shut up
That's a hard sell. Best case it's 3rd, but probably 4th (excluding SOTW). Could have handled the chase throughout the school better (ending) and obviously the mask debacle is unforgivable. I do like it quite a bit, but the OG and 2018 are 100% superior. The original H2 is up for debate, too slow paced for quite a while but last act is tremendous. On another note, 2018 soundtrack is unparalleled. However, opinions vary. Different opinions and civilized debates make the world a better place. No offense intended.
Chris is by far the most used and abused stuntman who ever played Michael. He was literally, EJECTED out of a moving van!
You know everyone talks crap about the guy who did Loomis' voice for H20, but I think they're just trying to nitpick. I think he did a great job. Without bringing Donald Pleasance back from the dead, you'd be hard pressed to get the voice any closer than that. People even say the voice in the new one is better. I can't tell a difference. People just want to hate on H20 for some reason.
Voice in the new one is definitely better. Technology has improved, so they probably have more options today to get it just right
I was eleven when I first saw this and I didn't know the difference now as an adult I can hear the difference but it doesn't bother me, he didn't butcher it and he sounded a lot like him so people just need to get over themselves, it was a great little tribute to Donald imo
You’re saying people want to hate H20 for some reason? People just to trash Resurrection because it’s popular to do so
@@PinocchioDread no we bash Resurrection was fucking TERRIBLE.. worse than Halloween 5 and that's saying something....
Jarred Knox Ehh, Resurrection has a dark tone, good cinematography and music just like H5. Both might be cheesy, but still good
Cheers to the whole cast and crew...
I had no clue it was a voice over guy doing Donald Pleasences voice, I assumed it was Donald Himself and they had used a sound clip from the original movie of his speech.
Patrick Peralta: And if I'm not mistaking they probably took his part from part 1 because he died of cancer in 1995!!!!
"NO GUN!!!" "NO GUN!!!"
"AH,YOU GOT ME! YOU GOT ME!!!"
very comedic coming from a stuntman's impersonation of a producer.
EDIT:I'm Glad you are back!
Never realised that one scene had a digital mask, always thought it was either a different mask or a weird light effect making it look that way.
LL COOL J is the only black guy that really worked well in Halloween franchise. Busta Rhymes's the worst. 😎
The little black boy from Halloween 2018. Alakazam
@@andrewscott8240 I meant an adult. Between LL Cool J and Busta Rhymes the first is a very good actor aswell as musician but Busta Rhymes is only good in the latter apartment (music). Mess as an actor.

I love Halloween H20 too bad Resurrection ruined the ending and ruined the franchise to that point
Never heard of it 😐 Trash ass movie ❗️🖕🏾😂
I liked the scene of Jamie Lee Curtis and her mother Janet Leigh. It was a fitting tribute and nice to see the Car Janet Leigh drove from Psycho in Halloween H2O as well as the subtle music from Psycho as she stood near the car.
The original script don’t sound to bad.
That’s what I was thinking, I would love to hear more or hell even read about that original script or first draft.
Part of me is fascinated to see how they would’ve continued the thorn storyline. A even bigger part of me is glad they binned it.
It would've dealt with most of the town being "in on it."
Absolute fantastic documentary! Not one scene in Halloween 2018 is as good as any one scene in H20!
Thank you so much for uploading this! :)
H20 isn't bad, but it isn't amazing either. The biggest problem with the film is that it feels more like a Scream movie than it does a Halloween movie. It is too self aware and it has too many wink winks in it. Having Janet Leigh, for instance, was all about winking at the audience and added NOTHING to the story. The film lacks atmosphere. Setting it in California hurt the film and robbed us of the Halloween atmosphete. The opening scene was the only part that really captured that.
well said and thorough comment
Being like Scream was it's strength, not it's weakness.
@@MrParkerman6 Completely disagree....Like the OP said, it was too self aware. Halloween is legendary, and doesn't need to mirror other franchises, especially Scream.
Janet Leigh was a great addition especially since it was her final film appearance and her and her daughter got to share the screen for one last time.
“More like a scream movie” and H20 has music from Scream too! 😬
H2O will always be my favorite HALLOWEEN movie!
It was the first one I had ever seen and I was 10 years old when it came out.
Thanks for coming back to your channel after 6 years to upload these for us
I am TRULY a Halloween Fanatic! I have every single Movie (vhs), DVD, Figurine, Masks and other collectables. I watch Halloween every single night before bed. My daughter Jaymie was named after Jamie Lee Curtis... The significance behind the story is amazing.
every single night?? Lol jesus Oh No
@@jessegotti lol lol EVERY NIGHT lol... I love to watch it while I do artwork! I'm a TH-camr but I also do voice impersonations so maybe after October I'll put Mr. Myers down and focus on my craft lol
You gotta know all the dialogue in the movie and quote it lol 🤣🤣
well I feel old now. I was 15 when this came out.
Smokinjo Politically Incorrect FYF I was 32...lol
I was 10 when this came out
I was 10
I was 5
I heard that during shooting for H20, Jamie Lee and some of them were in catering, sitting at a table. Rumor is that Jamie dropped a spoon, and Michael walked under the table and got it.
It's funny how from the original Halloween to H20 the world seemed so different, yet from H20 to 2018 not much has changed. If you watch H20 today, the movie looks like it could have come out this year. Clothing styles haven't changed much, the picture quality is HD etc. but when H20 came out, the original Halloween looked so old and dated! Clothes, cars, film quality, hair styles etc. were entirely different! Weird!
The 70’s man
The 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's all had very distinctive styles and are easily recognizable. You're right, everything seems to be stuck in the 90's (except for cell phones). It's kind of sad how everything is so bland and boring now but probably appropriate for the dystopian, totalitarian era we seemed to be headed towards.
Yeah h20 had a huge budget
That's completely untrue. Lots of things have changed since 1998. In H20 there's no cell phones, the cars are way old, now. As far as fashion, in the 2010's retro clothes are fashionable. I 100% disagree with your assessment
I wouldn’t say it looks like it came out this year lol but I get your point, the differences between the late 70s to late 90s seem a lot more drastic than late 90s to today.
First Halloween I saw when I was 9. Scared the shit out of me. Still my second favorite Halloween. So many iconic moments. A very under appreciated film
Fantastic and revealing doc!!! So much I didn't know about it. That Dr. Loomis's voice is not really Donald? Wow. Also good to see the cast returning to talk about it. I quite like H20, probably the 3rd favorite in the whole series
My favorite scene from H20 is when Laurie tells Michael after crashing him out of the window of the van to come on, and he rolls over to his back, then she says get up, and he sits up almost like in the original. Love that part.
The creepiest part of this is whenever they mention the Weinsteins.
Even scarier: they all knew about it and only said something when it had a political advantage to do so.
@@HinchyFilms you mean like conservatives do with the church?
@@HinchyFilms more children have been raped in the name of Christ than anyone in Hollywood…. Let’s fix those perverts before anyone
Would've loved to see Michelle Williams in this doc, i believe Durand played one of the best Michael, he had this movements and phisically he looked a lot like Nick Castle imo, this is a great upload, keep'em coming!
@Yeeyee Bubba agree to an extent.. I would NEVER compare Durand to Castle BUT saying Durand was awful is just plain fucking stupid.. he made it his own and I didn't mind it at all
Surprise Josh Hartnett didn't appear either
@@chrispeplinski7306 i believe u saw the wrong doc! Just dont write for the troll of it, hater!!
This is the one that got me started on my Halloween craze. Saw this when I was 14 in Ocean City Maryland one rainy day. Been in love with the franchise ever since
H20 has always been my favorite sequel in the Halloween franchise 🤩
Halloween water. Halloween hydrogen hydroxide. Halloween two parts hydrogen, one part oxygen. Halloween held together by covalent bonds.
Patrick Lussier carries two frames of the film in his wallet still to this day. I truly love that! Patrick Lussier. Great editor.
Chris Durand was in Captain America II: The Winter Soldier plus The stunt coordinator & an actor on the film as well.
An amazing documentary.
I actually love H20. It was like HALLOWEEN meets Dawson’s Creek😂
@Jarred Knox 🤣🤣🤣 i know right
H20 still my favorite Halloween sequel, the truest the original
I agree! I always loved Chris Durand as Michael in H20 growing up. Still do. And there was just something about the mask in the movie that I love. 35:28 I loved that mask in the movie. Not the CGI and cartoony mask though. 28:01 just looks terrible. But yeah I agree. H20 is my fav. as well.
you have to be on magic mushrooms
The H20 mask is my favourite mask from the series.
I love that we care about the characters like in the original. We get to know them a bit.
This is nothing like the original.
H4 was the truest. Did you even watch it?
It’s so interesting to hear that all the anamorphic lenses at the studio were being used on other films the studio was then currently producing. I love Movies, I love everything about them.
Halloween 2018 was good and a fun movie and my first Halloween movie to see in theaters, but Halloween, H2, and H20 will always be my fav trilogy 🧡🧡
Love this... This is my all time fav.. Loves! Love hearing about my fav scenes!!!
One of my favorites!
I love Halloween 1 and 2 but,H20 had the best acting. Alot of known actors and Jamie Lee's tribute to us fans:)
I love H20. I still watch my old VHS copy to this day. I've never seen this documentary though. Probably because i have it on VHS 😂😄
Watched it in the theater when I was 16 man time flys by so fast.
I always wanted to see how Michael killed Charlie and if their was a struggle or did he put up a fight like Sarah!
I liked this movie when it came out. I saw it in the theater when I was 17. When I watched it 20 years later, I hated it. It's got too many late 90s horror tropes - jump scares, cheesy music when a character's hand falls on another character's shoulder preceding the jump scare, and your typical Dawson's Creek casting. I was happy that 2018 was a direct sequel to the original, doing away with the whole 'hurr durr Michael always comes after his family' thing. He's far more terrifying as a random, don't care who you are, killer.
Damn I love that Ottman score. Its a shame they didn't keep it. That would have been amazing.
Terry Beardmore I totally agree
He’s back! The man behind the mask and he’s out of control.
🤘
@⚔️NotaVillianofthestory Absolutely!
I watched this Movie only just the other day, and it immediately became my favorite after Halloween 1978 and Hallowen II 1981. But, I haven't seen the 2018 Movie yet … :-D
I love it too. I love how Jamie kicks Michael's ass. I'm pretty sure your favorites won't change after you see 2018.
It's not your favorite then
This was the first Halloween movie I saw. It holds a special place in my heart.
Love all the easter eggs hidden throughout the film
From what I read and saw, they were going to make H7 and that's when JLC approached them about John and Debra returning for a definitive anniversary Halloween. What I remember is that little by little, it all just fell apart and eventually became Halloween H20. Debra became disinterested, John left because he wasn't appreciated enough, the script changed so much and it became the furthest thing from what I think JLC and John wanted in the end. Then they screwed JLC by putting it into her contract that Michael cannot die.
I will never understand Josh Hartnett's haircut in this movie. Like he went to his barber and said, "Just ruin me."
Someone please explain to me, what’s wrong with his haircut? I’m sorry I’m just really like that old fashioned and maybe that’s the case? Many people say Josh’ hair is bad but why? Please 😅explain😅
Apparently he cut it himself and messed it up daily between takes because he didn't wanna be a "pretty boy"
Front was busines back was a party 😅
@@iamjustinpopei had the same cut it was trendy shit in the late 90s😅
😂😂😂
This is one of my most favorites of the series 👊
I've ALWAYS admired special features,especially,THE MAKING OF!!! I appreciate it just as much as the finish product,it's like ice cream after supper :-) a TH-cam reviewer once mentioned that someone told him this film,H2O is the sequel worthy to the first 2 films& it's very true,Lori shrode vs his brother storyline series which is a trilogy!!
I remember sneaking into this movie when it came out lol had always been and always will be a huge fan of all the halloween movies.
One of my favorite Halloween movies! I didn’t know this existed
I call myself a fan, and never realized until watching this that Nancy Stephens was the nurse from the first two Halloween films!!🌕😭💆♂️
Fun fact: the guy who voiced over loomis does the voice of takio for call of duty zombies
The cast and crew was so great for this movie and it’s such a disgrace how the new movie is saying that it does not exist and all that hard work doesn’t matter
I felt that way when this one retconned 4/5. Danielle Harris did such a good job as Jamie Lloyd. Now not only has poor Daniel been retconned twice, they've given Laurie a different daughter.
H20 did the same thing to parts 4-6 though lol
Movie Man , that is the dumbest comment I have ever heard. Myers has been done to death and milked just about every drop. The new movie merely reset the time line JUST LIKE H20 DID so that it could tell a fresh story. Your post is idiotic on every level.
Do you have the "Making of" features from the other movies?
H20 served as a good ending to the series why the producers had to be greedy and make resurrection is beyond me.
That was the only reason Jamie said yes,she was told this is where u kill him.
I love all Stacy Langenkamp videos.
i love H20! michelle williams is a great actress. if only “resurrection” didn’t exist- i dig the new installments.
LL > Busta
Yeah fact
Lol busta rhymes best memes
Halloween
Halloween 2
Halloween H20
The perfect trilogy and the only 3 that count in my opinion
I actually much prefer h20 to Halloween (2018) I prefer Laurie’s story arc, I think it’s less sensationalist than her storyline in the new one. Also the scene where Laurie breaks the gate controller and grabs the axe and screams Michael is amazing
Thanks for this.
I love this film. Well done!
this the kid from jumanji
“I shot him 6 times....he’s not human!” -Dr. Loomis
“i keep protecting him until i die” 🥺🥺 i miss him
the other dumb scene is when Michael drops down from the sky, Michael does not hang from the ceiling
@nickxero2740 how did he get up there , with a ladder?
It's unfortunate that they had to edit out one of the best stories (likely legal reasons).
In their attempt to cash-in on Scream, the producers desperately wanted Kevin Williamson's name on the writing credits. They wanted Zappia (the writer) to give KW a "story by" credit. He refused. They took it to the WGA (writer's guild), they ruled in Zappia's favor. Bob Weinstein personally calls Zappia, begging him to allow the "story by KW" credit, offering him 50,000 to do so. Zappia says "nope!" Weinstein up's the offer to 75,000 and a 3-picture deal. Zappia says "Yep!" Problem is WGA already ruled and wouldn't allow it changed. Weinstein is enraged and berates Zappia. Ultimately, they end up slapping Kevin Williamson's name on it anyway (forget what credit it was).
Ah, Hollywood!
Wrong! Kevin wrote a basic outline and did script doctoring. He wasn't just credited for nothing.
Halloween 1-classic
Halloween 2-awesome
H20-fun guilty pleasure
Halloween '18- entertaining
The best micheal myers movies
4 is good too
I think one of the genius concepts to make this movie work was to have it set in a private school way out and nowhere and far away from haddonfield. I believe Jamie Lee Curtis references the school being in California. All horror movies are left with questions. Mine was how did Michael Myers Drive to California? Anyway my second favorite Halloween movie in the franchise.
Coincidence how the first movie of Scream has Halloween playing on the Tv at the end. And H20 has Scream 2 playing on the Tv!
