Just curious what do you all think they will do with the sequel to Halloween 2018. It’s obvious Michael didn’t die at the end, although he has a dead eye, 3 fingers on one hand and is probably a bit crispy now too so I think eventually it might happen haha. I thought maybe it would be a continuation of the same night and he finds a new batch of victims, I’m excited to see what happens since he is presumably free to target whomever he likes now that the sister thing has been dissolved.
The novelization is really good if you want some more information about events that the movie kind of glosses over as well .
Nothing has been set in stone yet but with how well 2018 did in theaters I can’t see them waiting too long for the follow-up. I’m just hoping it isn’t a cash grab and they put a lot of though into the script so we don’t end up with another confusing storyline we have to make sense of
It’ll most likely be a cash grab. Seeing as they didnt show the Shape burning I assume they left it that way on purpose for a follow-up, but I cant see where it can go from there? I like the ambiguity. H2’s ending was perfect to me honestly, wrapped it up nicely. Nothing left open. I kinda wish H’18 was the final one.
I sincerely doubt it. They shot H’18 in January and it’s December now. Nothing’s off the ground with a sequel yet, so it would be impossible to get a film out for 2019. And I’d rather them take their time with a sequel and not jump the gun like they did with Halloween 5.
I’m interested but skeptical. I do want this franchise to actually end (I mean, at least for a GOOD LONG TIME until Hollywood does it again) Dave McRae made a video about his ideas, and I really like his say. There is a few things I want to see/learn if they do the sequel. What happened to the Myers House? Would Tommy and Lindsey return? Etc etc.
Not trying to be lame and this would probably never happen lol, but it would be cool if they waited until 2021 so it’s 40 years since Halloween II. I think we can all agree that Halloween II is a top favorite especially with Dick Worlocks Performance. Even if it was just the opening paying tribute to Halloween II like Rob Zombies did, and have it be a dream that Laurie or Alyson has, then the rest of the movie picks up later. But this time even better than RZ’s because it’s with Jamie lee Curtis 40 years later. Again. Also there’d be no white horses. You could even do what they did with Nick Castle and have Dick Warlock cameo as Michael Myers and still have JJC play him the rest of the time, because to me he embodied both Nick Castle and Dick Warlock so it wouldn’t be too weird.
Could still have Lindsey and Tommy even if it’s just a small cameo or mentioning or the way Dave McRea said having Tommy be like “you can’t kill the boogie man”
And then Michael returns, that’d be cool.
I’m not saying this is the best ideas at all. Just throwing ideas out. But it is something that would be interesting to see, the same way the 2018 one was. It would probably be best if they didn’t go that rout at all especially after wiping the slate. But I would like to see more of the new world of Halloween. Like Lonnie or the nurse from the the opening of H1 and H20 could come back. It’d just be fun to see these people and places like the Myers house again.
But I’m also all for them going with him targeting new people to keep it random and fresh.
I hope they just let it end. Halloween 2018 was just Friday the 13th’'s Jason Voorhees in a Myers mask…and a bad one at that. The cleverness of Myers in 1978 was gone and that’s what made him scary.
What exactly about the new one made him seem like Jason Voorhees? Just curious is all as I didn’t get any of those vibes from him, he seemed more like how he was in the original movie. Just an embodiment of evil that kills whoever is unlucky enough to cross his path.
Smashing people heads in walls…grabbing people by the backs of theiir heads.
If you watch the original…he didn’t do anything like that, he played cat and mouse. He could killed anyone at anytime but he played with them. He was selective and just didn’t kill eveyone in his path.This was purly a Friday the 13th.
I’ve watched the original many times thank you very much. I mean you can argue this point with the Bob kill from the original too though, his brutality has always been there since the beginning. Not to mention the way he brutally stabs his sister in the beginning of the movie.
It really wasn’t anything like Friday the 13th though. You do realize he is basically toying with Laurie at the end when he takes the Mannequins from outside and puts them upstairs along with Ray’s body as a sort of distraction so he can get the jump on her. He’s also toying with the reporters before he kills them and gets his mask back too, in the gas station we see him just out of frame beating the mechanic, not to mention the whole teeth stunt and bathroom scene. The same thing at the cemetery when he’s stalking them, that’s how he ends up at the same gas station at them. He also perfectly manipulated the doctor for many years if you think about it because that’s the reason he escaped in the first place.
None of that screams Friday the 13th to me and I’m not even really scratching the surface just things from the movie that are blink and you might not catch it moments. He’s actually a lot more clever then the movie gives him credit for.
Sorry…you will not persuade me…this 2018 movie sucked. Myers just walking around, in the middle of the street mind you, isn’t clever or anything. Nothing, and I mean nothing, was remotely clever or smart.
The curbstomping of the doctors head was definitely Friday of the 13th tier. I thought the whole point of this reboot was to get away from that mega violence.
Have to vehemently disagree with this notion from Billy that the Michael here wasn’t the same The Shape from the original film.
Michael in the new film was very clever, and very much a trickster despite his increased brutality, which over forty years later is definitely justified from the character considering how much of an urge to kill he/it must have pent up. His butchering and maiming being more graphic doesn’t distract from his very clear 1978 Castle mannerisms and how he decorates and sets up bodies ala the Michael we see in the Carpenter film. There’s tons of examples; he sets up Vicky’s corpse under a sheet, he pins up Dave to a wall, he stuffs Ray in the closet for Laurie to find, he hides amid the shooting range mannequins to get the jump on her, he stalks a small child in his closet, he uses the police car distraction to get the kill on Ray, even going through the trouble to carve a human head into a grinning Jack-O-Lantern for added Halloween mischief points. This is the most like the original Shape any portrayal of Myers has felt since Nick Castle by far, even over Warlock; someone I like a lot, but isn’t The Shape to me. The only legitimate point I can see being made against this portrayal of Michael not being the same 1978 character is the lack of him being a peeping tom in the new film, which I admit was a little disappointing; but given the nature of Green’s film, it’s easy to see why much of the stalking was cut down from the original cut. I doubt this will do anything to change your opinion considering some of you are outright refusing to observe the points being made, but I’m largely just stating some facts regarding JJC’s portrayal of Myers.
Having more gore does not mean Michael is not a silent, efficient killer. Despite the increased bloodshed, he increasingly showed his use of stealth and intelligence throughout the film while also exerting brutal force.
Lol…you make this movie sound like an Academy Award winning picture. To me, this hunk of crap was boring, tiresome and redundant. I’m not “refusing” anything you write or anyone else…it’s your opinions and mine is mine. I watched this movie once, I almost walk out of it, and it is what it is. It’s not for me. I’m smarter than that.
Major props to you as a collector Billy, but the way you assert your opinion is just baffling. I take no issue in you hating or loving this film, but when you begin to insult peoples intelligence for liking this movie you cross a boundary. How did I, in any way, make this sound like an award winning film? I simply stated the facts on what Myers does, and acts like in the movie. This isn’t me saying you’re wrong for not liking a movie, but when you’re so quick to call JJC “Kane Hodder” despite almost everything in the film going against this with the exception of the increased gore (which isn’t really a valid critique in regard to Myers portrayal); I begin to question the validity of what you’re saying. If you call Halloween 2018 “boring, tiresome and redundant” I’d love to see you defend against the very legitimate critiques of HalloweeN II 1981, a film I like a lot but fits all three of those formerly mentioned traits to a tee much more so than HalloweeN 2018 on an objective level. I guess you’re smart enough for the glaring issues of HalloweeN II though, so all is fine and dandy. There’s a difference between hating a movie normally and going out and looking down on those who enjoyed it; which seems to be the majority since it’s largely being regarded as the best Halloween sequel by critics, general audiences and many fans alike. If you think I’m trying to convince you of anything; I’m not, as it’d largely be futile on my part to try, but this needs to be said.
