10.19.18 | @DarkSideOfLucca Quick question: Does this movie ignore the sequels period or does it 'ignore them' like the H20 sequel but still use plot points from the sequels before it? |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.19.18 | Well H20 included Halloween 1 and 2. This just includes Halloween 1 so they're not siblings or anything and nothing in the story after THAT night is included. 40 years after the trauma of the first film. |
StrikeOfTheBeast
10.19.18 | Awesome. I was hoping for that. |
butt.
10.19.18 | There are nods to some of the other sequels, but no true plot points |
Divaman
10.19.18 | Really? They're not siblings? it's been so long that that feels weird. |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.19.18 | Tbh I actually like that they're not siblings. That's part of what was so scary about the original. Just this force of evil walks around, stalks and kills random people for no reason with no other motive. It really fits with the inhumanity behind his eyes etc and makes the audience fear that it could be them. Not that "oh I might have some long lost sibling that I don't know about" or whatever.
But to be fair, it took me a bit to get used to as well. |
Larkinhill
10.19.18 | Hmm interesting because I’ve heard all great feedback.
I’m going to see it next week so I’ll make sure to chime back in. Seeing as how we’re both huge horror movie buffs, I trust you. I love them so much I decided to write them as my profession (horror screenwriter).yeah, my dad started letting me watch anything I wanted at a really young age (parents got divorced when I was 3), so I saw elm at 5, The Exorcist at 7 etc. and yeah they freaked me out, but I discovered that I fucking LOVED being scared at a really young age. My dad used to tell me ghost stories before bed, I read true haunting books, I went to haunted houses etc.
I almost fully credit my dad with igniting and fostering that love. |
Larkinhill
10.19.18 | Dude I love that they aren’t siblings too! Always felt shoehorned in to me. |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.19.18 | @Larkinhill - I write horror as well, but unfortunately not as my main profession and not screenplays. It sounds like we had a similar upbringing and have a similar connection with horror as well. Thanks man, I'm excited to hear your feedback!
And keep in mind, I REALLY loved a lot about this movie. This is definitely my favorite sequel, but it's just so frustrating because this could have been an A+ movie so easily if you just edited out some obvious bullshit. It's just that the bullshit here was extra offensive to me. |
Trebor.
10.19.18 | I couldn't believe how bad it was |
butt.
10.19.18 | I've never seen you ~not~ be unnecessarily negative about something |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.19.18 | Trebor you hated it that much buddy? |
butt.
10.19.18 | If anybody likes it, anywhere in the world, then he's legally required to take a shit on it |

Kalopsia
10.19.18 | as per that redheaded fuck stuckmann:
woman who is traumatized by an encounter with an unstoppable killing machine in which she survived, she spends the next few years training to fight back. but everyone thinks she's crazy. but then the killer comes back and she kicks ass.
wait, is this Halloween or terminator 2? |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.19.18 | Yeah but that wasn’t a complaint of mine. I was totally fine with Sarah Conner Laurie
stuckmann gave it a C, but he also gave the last Jedi an A so while I agree with him most of the time, definitely not all |

10.20.18 | @DarkSideOfLucca I saw Halloween tonight. T'was an overall enjoyable movie. |
