“John Carpenter's 1978 'Halloween' is wholly deserving of its status as a horror classic, as a horror film it is one of the most iconic ones and very influential. To this day it is still one of the freakiest films personally seen and introduced the world to one of horror's most iconic villainous characters, and characters overall, in Michael Myers.
The numerous follow-ups are very hit and miss (leaning towards the miss), with none of them being anywhere near as good and the quality decline generally was pretty drastic. 'Halloween H20: 20 Years Later' was an exception, while the Rob Zombie films and 'Halloween: Resurrection' were abominations. Hearing that there was going to be another film, part of me was really excited as it did look very creepy and word of mouth was positive. Th” read more

"Plot: An alternative timeline sequel to John Carpenter's classic that follows an aged and traumatized Laurie Strode facing the blank horror of her youth. Reverent to the material and opting to skip forward decades to give us a story about relentless evil and the woman he forever scarred. Packing a brutal punch and equipped with a stellar score, this one was worth the wait. "
"Re-watch - Oct. 23rd I wanted to revisit this film before seeing its sequel since I only saw it once & figured it'd put me in the right headspace. I still really enjoy this film, even though the podcasters are idiots. It fires on all cylinders & delivers a satisfying alternate sequel to Carpenter's original film. I also really dig all the ways it engages with the original, those little moments bring me joy. Bonus points for working in a nod to Halloween III."

"As just about every horror fan knows, there have been a bunch of sequels to the first Halloween movie from back in 1978, which was a surprise hit in it's day and launched one of the longest running franchises in horror history. However, since none of 'em have been able to match the success of the first one, particularly on a critical level, it felt like the horror of it's iconic slasher's "visage" was being slightly diminished with each subsequent release. So, in an effort to bring the franchise"
