Discuss the Halloween series in this thread, please do not make any other threads about these films, they will be closed.

I think its a good idea to have a single thread for each franchise, and for the record the original Halloween is one of the finest horror films of all time, sequels are a bit hit and miss.

BackFire rocks for makign this Halloween rules all

Great movies exsept part3, any of you seen halloween6 the producer's cut? I still havint seen it, but I'm gonna buy it pretty soon now

Thats difficult to get hold of here in the UK, was gonna buy it on VHS from ebay at one point. Donald Plesence's untimely death ruined the end of the movies as there was clearly a final confrontation between him and Wynn lined up that never happened, would have been interesting.

Jason can beat Michael!!!!!

Maybe so, but that would make an appaling movie so do we really care?

Not a fan past 2, but hey, I'm still game for discussion.

They're all pretty good. Number 1 and 2 are the best though.

I like Halloween but after two, the series went to hell

yea but i still wanna see 9

check out this cool halloween song its sweet http://www.fronder.com/stream.php?mode=song_hifi&band_id=111&song_id=243

cool song........halloween 3,5,8 were a mistake and 9 will also be a disgrace...busta rhymes is returning

Nooooooooo

Of course Jason could bet Micheal, Jason has a machete, and what does Micheal have? a small kitchen knife.

lol jasons a dumbass u must have smarts

How can anyone say the Halloween 1,2,4,5, and 6 are bad? Three Words: Hail Donald Pleasence! The guy is great!

why do all the jason fans act like idiots? serious questions...they just jump in a Mike Myers thread and say how the Giant Dumbass is better than the Smaller Dumbass. Cmon people this thread is for discussion of the movies. and the Halloween series OWNED the Friday 13 movies.

After part 3 the movie failed. I dunno y people hate part 3, cuz it ruined the series? i thought it was a good movie on its own. they should have changed the title.

Halloween 3, as I have said before, has many notable flaws and high spots. For instance, while the movie was a breath of fresh air it for some reason felt it had to create useless characters (the bum that says it gonna be the last Halloween and the death from laser lady). Also explain to me how the hel Cochran is gonna take over the world? has this idiot never heard of the poor people?

Personal preference and opinion, most likely.

"Nightmare" has both franchises numbers, since "Halloween" and "Friday" have track records for monotony, Freddy kept things interesting, and fresh. Having a non-mute lead character usually makes it a little more fun to watch as well.

The problem with "Halloween" is that on top of being a boring main character, Myers is indestructible. His gimmick is killing family members, and for the love of money, that schtick was abandoned, and they are making trend films, i.e. internet reality shows?

As for "Friday", same thing. Their gimmick is so tired, and the franchise is so long overdue to be put down, that even the gimmicks where they break stride i.e. 5 + 9, are crap as well. "Jason X" was even worse than "Hellraiser: Bloodline", and it threw a wrench in the continuity machine.

And "Hellraiser", while it is easily my favorite of the big franchises, it's a dog that should have been put down after 3. Pinhead, fantasic character, but you can only speak so elequently about torture before it gets way too stale and monotonous. Peoples souls get ravaged, their flesh explored, fantastic. "Hell on Earth" was where it started to slip, and where it should have ended. Great storyline to bring Hell to Earth, but after he had his little reign, that should have been it. But no. They recycled the same storyline for 6 more movies, all of basically the same premise. Who asks for these movies in the first place? What made Hellraiser, and all these franchises unique and exciting, died out after the first few installments.

"Nightmare" isn't w/o it's faults either, of course. Freddy after a while was able to live outside of the dream world, as well as become invincible even outside of dreams. After milking the whole "Dream" trilogy gimmick, there was "The Final Nightmare", much like "The Final Friday". Atleast "Halloween" wasn't dumb enough to say that they had plans to end their franchise w/ suggestive billing, although they should.

I mentioned before, all 3 are past their prime, and have failed when they try to reinvent themselves. We've got to learn to let go.

All of them were great, except 8..... LIVE LAURI!!!! LIVE!!!!!

Halloween 1 is due to be show at the cinema i work in next month, can't wait.

Halloween 1 and 2 are the best in the series 4 6 and h20 where good aswell

5 wasn't that bad, and I for one would like an explanation to why it is bad other than the comedy cops.

I love the Halloween Movies! I think that I am a big fan of Michael Myers that, it may seem sad to say this, but I think all the movies are great. But like I said, I only say that because I'm such a big fan. Of course, I was seriously pissed when H2O came out and found out that they had done away with the whole Jamie Lloyd storyline. Even though the last Halloween movie wasn't all that great, and had some actors I'd never seen, it still had Myers in it, and I'm all for that!

Ressurrection was ok not as bad as everyone thinks it is.

what do you guys think of halloween 6

Nice picture michael myers

thanks maddam

Whut did u say girly boy

hey can i call u by ur true name and wut size does ur sig have to be

yea and its 500 by 300 i think

i have only seen Halloween Resurection(dont know which number this is)
it woz a good movie
but i still think friday the 13th and elm street better

alrite korree and i need u to make me a new sig of carnage

when does halloween 9 come out

Are we also getting the original Dawn of the Dead as well? I've seen the picture on the screen but can't tell if it is original or remake.

It's probably the remake, considering that it's just recently come out.

I work in the same cinema as Zombieman, and we do show a lot of classic films, Wicker man etc. It is not a mainstream cinema, although we do show some mainstream.

As I was posting that reply somebody came in and told me that it is the remake. I'm going to push my bosses into getting the original, at least we have Halloween in a couple of weeks.

i would love to see halloween in our theatres to see people scream and watch it with good sound!

same here

silly

i would like to see it in our movies so i could see korree screem like a little girl

silly goose

You guys get a room already.

Watched 4 & 5 today, gotta say the only thing I liked about it is the continuity. Otherwise, it was pretty dull, and Dr. Loomis was annoying as ****.

I didn't mind part 4 except for the ending.

The ending of 4 was great, IMO. The explanation was somewhat convoluted at the beginning of 5.


So, was it a dream, or did she actually do it? If so, why wasn't she held in a childs psych ward for longer than a week or longer?

I know what you mean but I'm talking about the final scene where we see it from Jamie's POV, and she's putting the mask on. From that moment on you know what's going to happen. The only reason I don't turn the video off after that is to see Dr Loomis' reaction to seeing Jamie in the costume that Myers wore when he killed his sister. It seems very real when he is shouting.

i know why because i think they might of known she was cursed when she touched mike's hand and they knew she wouldnt do anything like that. She might of been dreaming about it too and thats why the beggining shes having a sesiur and they put her in the psycho place because she went threw so much with mike chasing her and stuff and she couldnt tell them anything cuz the curse made her not talk

I know I'm an idiot, but what does IMO mean? I've been dying to know for ages.

In my opinion.

Cheers.

Its wasn't a dream at the end of 4. In part five, when Jamie gets a brick hurled through her window with a note saying: "the evil child must die" Loomis says its because the people of Haddonfield know that Jamie "Stabbed her mother".

OR because she was cursed

whoever said jason would kill micheal they are right. even though michael is super human he is still just a human. michael can be killed 4ever but no one ever got the chance. he would have been killed in H20 if jamie lee didnt decapitate the wrong manjason,however cannot be killed.all he has 2 do is decapitate michael and hes dead

same with jason........... or just destroy his heart

halloween 1 is the best

I read a magazine called frontrow saying that tony schoot will consider remaking halloween and that linshy lohan might play jamily curitis chactor......

That's just an old rumor that has resurfaced. It was originall killed in Sept. of last year.

http://www.killermovies.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=1630915#post1630915post1630915

Besides, if they did make a Halloween remake, there would pretty much have to be a guaranteed Halloween 2, regardless of a remakes earnings, which no company would pick up on.

However, there is a "Day of the Dead" remake on it's way out, so stranger things have happened.

i loved day of the dead......maybe wen they remake it they'll cut the cursing lol.........anyways back on Halloween i have ripped some Mpegs and ill post them here sooner or later

I'm not sure. People in horror movies tend to be too naive to believe in curses etc till it's too late, then again you could be right cos people were aware that she was Myers' niece, and people in horror movies tend to over-react also.

yea

I'VE ONLY SEEN HALLOWEEN 1, 4, 5, AND H2O BUT I KNOW NOT TO SEE HALLOWEEN 3 CAUSE I KNOW IT DOES'NT HAVE MICHAEL MYERS IN IT. WHAT A BUMMER.

HOW DO I GET A PICTURE FOR MY ICON CAUSE I WANT ONE OF MICHAEL MYERS.

If you mean a pic under your name go to edit options. Also, take the caps lock off when you write it just looks aggressive.

ok i got my picture it looks like a gothized version of my master Michael Myers lol

who wrote this: Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary...........

does anyone know?

Edgar Allen Poe. Or was it George W Bush.

it was Edgar Allen Poe

i am bored

who gives a horses ass if your bored

the tail on the horse does.

ah the what was funny......

It's true!

APPARENTLY THEY R GONA MAKE A REMAKE OF HALLOWEEN. THEY SHOULD ONLY MAKE REMAKES OF SHIT FILMS LIKE GRIM WEEKEND OR INTRUDER. IF SO WHO WILL PLAY LAURIE?
BRITTNAY MURPHY OR KIRSTEN DUNST MIGHT BE GOOD, BUT THEY WONT BEAT JAMIE LEE CURTIS

Is your "Caps Lock" key broken?

i recently watched Halloween Resorection(spelling) and the susssssspence was killing me.....i thought the twist at the end was predictable but in movies like that they always r......has anyone seen VALENTINE????

I made a music video tribute for the Halloween fans awhile back. It uses almost all of the series...focusing on Michael and Dr. Loomis in the 1st Verse and then Michael, Laurie and Jamie in the 2nd Verse and beyond. The video is about 21MB and uses my remixed version of "Praise" by Sevendust with an added voice-over of Loomis. Click on the link in my signature to download it. There's one for the Friday fans also

I love the Halloween series. He is more realistic than Freddy Kruger or Jason. I mean That could really happen.

Just bought Halloween 5 on DVD and Dr Loomis mentions several times that Jamie stabbed her mother although he doesn't say that she killed her. No extras on the DVD, shame.

i knowt hey should have some deleted scenes and extras

halloween 5 is annoying cause they say you should be able to see micheals face but its in the shadows ( i was looking forward to seeing mikes face)

In Halloween 1 if you pause the movie where Lorie rips off Michael mask, you can see his face. It looks kind of creepy.

i know its pure evil :devil

gonna see halloween 6 tonight is it good? i dont cre if it isent

I haven't seen that one. I've only seen 1,4,5,&7

in halloween he doesent look exactly human

halloween 6 is on today(friday) at 11.40 on channel five if u live in america than thats a shame. and ive seen 1,2,7,8 so i aint gonna understand the plot but ive read it of da internet

Thank you for telling what channel that's on i have wanted to see that one ever since i read the script.

happy to do it

i really want to see h4

i wonder what h9 is about on a site it says sometin about people of haddonfield fighting back against mike (finally)

just saw halloween 6

Mike is so cool. He is by far the best of all the serial slashers. I have all 8 of the movies on DVDand Video. I am a great fan. Buckethead VS. Mike, what a great show that would be...Monsterfan..........

really you have all 8 on dvd and vhs wow i dont have any they are hard to come by in the uk but ive seen 1,2,6,7,8 and ive taped 8,6

yea u are right mike is the best he could eat jason for brekfast and have krugar for dinner and all other horror movie icons for pudding

I agree Michael Myers can drive! That means he can kill a lot more even though it's animals. With his collection of cars he could kill all roadkill! Mwa hahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!

yea imagine mike driving a bmw down the street instead of a old truck

lol

that should be a movie michael myers vs spongebob i would so pay to see it

After the first few Halloweens the rest got SHittie, i recently saw Halloween Reserection and that was really shit with no good theme except for teenagers running round a house being chased by a killer
Geeee.......how Original!!

Halloween is geting remade with linsy lohan as jamie curtis chactor director Al timothy some ad director

That's not right, they shouldn't make a remake for Halloween. It is too good. They might mess up on everything. if they do, THEY WILL PAY. (hopefully $9,999,999,999,999,999.99)

That would be so funny and scarey at the same time. I would pay lots of money to go see it.

what remade !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! outrageous that movies was an original a one that should not be remade

I love the Halloween series even though Jason is my favorite iconic madman.I don't try to tell everybody that Jason would beat Michael's punkass.It kinda goes without saying.Freddy is third.The 6th and 3rd movies are an abomination in the series and a cinematic kick in the nuts to John Carpenter.Its a tough choice,but I would choose the second movie to be the best over the first one.

jason...... he is just some weirdo who goes around slashing people wit a machette at camp or in the future but dont get me wrong i like jason

Yeah,I would say that the Halloween series is more storyline oriented than the Friday the 13th series.But then the 7th movie did throw 3 of the movies and a whole subplot out the window...

yea i mean what happened to the baby and the others

I think it was becuase the whole thorn theory entirely discredited the original premise of the series.Like I said before,the 6th installment was a cinematic kick in the nuts to John Carpenter.Poor bastard.....

I haven't exactly seen the 6th Halloween but I have read the script.

Trust me,you didn't miss much except for a couple good death scenes.

it was funny when michael gave that kid a towel when he got out of the shower

I missed that part.Did you see it on cable or was it unedited?

unedited

huh,i guess i'll have to watch it again.

Let me guess Michael then killed him? LOL that is funny!

how did u know

It's just like always. Kind of like in Scooby Doo the monster hands Shaggey something and Shaggey says "Thanks Scoob." Scooby says "That wasn't me." Then the monster growls and Shaggey and Scooby run. Except they don't get killed.

lol

it would be much better if they did

It would be funny if they made a Freddy Vs. Scooby Vs. Jason Vs. Shaggey.

And Shaggey and Scooby die.

ZOINKS SCOOBY THAT MEAN LOOKIN GUY WITH A KNIFE IS COMIN WE GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE FAST. LETS HAVE A SCOOBY SNACK(before they can eat it mike killes them)

*Scooby puts a sack on Jason's head*

Michael Myers then beems up to the Enterprise and Captain Kirk and Spock lets Michael kill Scotty.

LOL

yes if only

That would really be funny.

definitely.Hey,I have a question.When is H9 supposed to come out/I heard that it was sometime this summer.

I hope so. I am going to see it no matter if my mom says no.

for sure,got 2 see it.

I hope Michael finally kills his family.

i hear its about him after sarah from h8 and he is in haddonfield and the townspeople finnaly do something about him (after 20 years they finnaly do something)

Dang if they kill him...................I'll tell my mommy on them.

I really hope it doesn't continue to run the series in the ground.Poor Michael,he doesn't deserve this.....

Really, I mean the poor guy is just trying to kill his family. It's not like he's doing any harm to the rest of the people except for the ones that get in his way.

anbyone seen them trailers? they are fake but i think they are pretty cool.

no I haven't any info on Halloween 9 yet. I just know that they are making a new Halloween.

i found this http://www.ibiblio.org/omdb/MessageBoards/ReadPost.php?PostID=110

i think its fake, but if it aint then H9 is gonna ****ing suck.

on a lighter note, is their anyone with MSN who would like to write a H9 script with me? ive wrote the first couple of scenes, but feel its a 2 man job. thanks.

yea me address is [email protected]

First of all, Freddy is too much of a jokester to really be that scary, he doesn't look, talk, or act scary. All the images of his world are more scary than he is. Secondly, any of the horror flicks involving serial killers are abso*******lutely bogus. I don't care if its Jason, Michael, Leatherface, or the Scream killers, I know just the thing to put them out of their misery: A couple slugs from a .44 magnum.

ye watevuh

They've all been dismembered at one point or another, beheaded as well, except for Michael Myers, I think.

They are indestructible, because sudios think that people don't get tired of these franchises.

Boy, are they ever wrong.

That plot sucked. They better come up with something better that.

here's a good idea.........

http://www.adorocinema.com/filmes/halloween-4/halloween-4-04.jpg Vs. http://www.vegelist.online.fr/images/jackson.jpg

in h9 myers mask should finally be taken off

i very much doubt it will. be cool though. I remember Akaad saying that they are hoping for an august/ september release. thats like next month.
