I really, really like the imagery of the dead bodies in the Silver Shamrock masks. Totally creepy. I love any attempt to connect Halloween 3 to the rest of the Halloween universe, however implausible. What's funny is, based on what was seen on the TV, the Myers Halloween is fictional and the HIII world is the real one. Unless they want to go full meta and say that movie we saw was a fictional account of an actual event, and they both take place in the same universe, and they explain other sequels didn't get made due to the citizens of Haddonfield and Laurie complained of the movie's insensitivity of trying to capitalize on a tragic event, taking a jab at Hollywood and the popularity of slasher movies in the 80s.

This looks incredible. I really enjoyed the 2018 sequel.

What happened to the little girl in the early halloween movies? Was she retconned at some point? Danielle Harris. In this video (NSFW cause of some words) talks bout the the argument and reason why she was recast & why she didn't return for Halloween 6. She did return to the Halloween-verse in Rob Zombie's Halloween remakes playing Laurie's friend Annie. I wish I could find the video of her doing a panel years ago with some other people (don't know what movie it was for) but someone in crowd asked about how she felt being recast & basically retconned for Halloween H20, they changed the fact the Laurie (Jamie Lee Curtis) had a daughter Jamie Lloyd (Harris, Halloween 4,5,6) to having a son John (Josh Hartnett). Also, Hartnett was himself retconned in the newer Halloween 2021 remake as now she no longer has a son but a daughter again, named Karen (Judy Greer)

Ah but did the OP mean Jamie (Harris), Michael's niece...or Lindsay, who was the little girl Tommy hung out with in the original?

What a trailer.
Definitely something to look forward to later this year.

Off topic, but not....
I am reading "Taking Shape," a book about the Halloween series up to the 2018 movie. Anyone else hear of it?
As if we needed more reasons to dislike the meddling done to H6....WE COULD HAVE HAD A SCENE WHERE MICHAEL USES HALLOWEEN III PLAYING ON THE TV AS A WARNING THAT HE IS AROUND. That is all.

It dropped on Peacock, and just watched it. I liked it, not as good as Halloween 2018, but I enjoyed it. {Spoiler}- I like Allyson. Her taking a proactive role, and deciding to hunt down Michael and end him was a good move. Even after seeing her boyfriend murdered, and she's injured, she's still wanting to fight Michael. Can she reach the slasher final girl elite level with Laurie, Nancy, and Sidney? We'll find out what they do with her in Ends.
- The score, damn, the score was fantastic. The biggest standout of that was when Karen lured Michael into the trap the mob set. The buildup with the mob surrounding him, and Michael reaching down to pick up his mask was perfection.
- They did need to start the explanation of why and how Michael is so powerful. The explanation that he is really the Bogeyman.
- Motherf***er there were some great kills.

I thought this was... okay-ish. It's a Halloween movie, so it's going to be fun if you're a fan. But yeah, I feel even more confident in my opinion that this franchise should've ended with the last movie. It was a perfect ending and now we're venturing off into more convoluted bullshit that they were supposedly trying to retcon with the last movie.
Yeah, decent movie that shouldn't have happened. That's my awful summary of this movie.

I was so looking forward to this and was absolutely stoked when I found out it was on peacock. Having said that, this was a letdown. Yeah it was cool seeing all the old characters from the original but what purpose (other than Tommy) did they actually serve? None of the kills save for maybe one or two really meant anything because we really weren’t given any reason to care about those that were killed. I hope Halloween Ends is the last one because like Michael Myers, this series needs to die

Loved the 2018 Halloween, was down on the idea of it even getting a sequel let alone two. I'm planning on watching it but I can't imagine them finding any way to make this one or the follow up feel remotely as poignant, powerful, and worthwhile.

I'm at the theater now and this place is packed. Theaters definitely aren't going anywhere anytime soon.

I just hope this series ends with {Spoiler}Laurie and her granddaughter absolutely annihilating Michael and leaving no doubt that he is 100% dead. And I don't care to see Laurie killed off (again). She should absolutely outlive him and win in the end.

To quote one of my favorite lines from Goldeneye: {Spoiler} Michael, why can’t you just be a good boy and die?

Outside of it being too gory and violent for my tastes, I enjoyed it. Not as much as 2018, but I didn't walk away disliking it. I've enjoyed the story this continuity is telling with Laurie, Karen and Allison, as well as the theme in this one of {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW} what effect Michael has had on Haddonfield, and how that fear gets people to act out of control within a group setting. They could have stopped after 2018 with Michael burning in Laurie's basement and it would have been a great ending, but I don't hate that they're continuing on, either. I just hope they tone down how graphic it is, because one of the best things about Halloween '78, imo, is how it's basically bloodless. The kills are creative, for sure, but that much gore kind of felt not Halloweenish at a certain point, at least to me. They do a fantastic job of making Michael frightening, though. Cold, blank, relentless. And the Strode women are badass.
