Halloween Kills (2020) and Halloween Ends (2021)

My thoughts on it are that this is the end of the Laurie Strode arc once and for all.

After this, they will surely do something for the 50th anniversary. Your this close to 50 years of this franchise, and it would be a missed opportunity to not do one solid film to celebrate it. I say bring in Danielle Harris and give her a proper movie, but maybe under all new circumstances. It does not have to be the Jamie Character.

How about Granddaughter of Loomis’? Maybe she’s a psychiatrist, or maybe she’s just obsessed with the lore of Michael Myers and the history of her grandfather. It can be a whole new arc for a 50th anniversary special.

Then, maybe they can finally call it “Halloween Returns” lol. Which I have to say, now that we have these two new titles for these next couple films, they really missed the boat on calling last year’s “Halloween Returns”. It would of fit this trilogy and the subtitles perfect. Ohwell, always the 50th anniversary.

Danielle deserves a film of her own though, she’s just as much a part of this franchise as Jamie Lee. She loves this franchise and does the conventions, and is well deserving of her own story send off. Sorry, but the Rob Zombie bullshit was not a proper end to her in this franchise. She deserves to be the lead one last time. This is just my opinion, no one has to agree with it of course.

So yeah, 50th anniversary, give Danielle a proper lead role and story arc send off. Just my hopes and dreams anyway!

Can’t wait! After this era plz bring back the danielle harris/uncle story hahaha so epic

YAWN!

I don’t like the names, Feels weak and cheap. Like they walked into a middle school and asked the kids what’s a good name for a Michael Myers movie? At least we know they need to end it on Halloween Ends or there will be a problem lol

Agree 100% with you. I would love to see Danielle Harris come back. I really liked her in H4 and 5. Would be sweet if they could somehow pick up where left off in H4 or 5.

But then that would create another new Timeline. I don’t mind her being in it but please no more new timelines. Maybe she could have a cameo as Karen’s friend in the upcoming films but I don’t really want to see her as a main character. I loved her as Jamie and Annie but don’t want another one with her as the main.

Everyone needs to hit up Jason Blum and let him know how bad we want Danielle Harris to be in Kills & Ends. I’m going too.

I second this, I don’t mind her being in it but its not something I am all crazed about. She had her time and personally I would love to just finish the story we have. If they shoehorn in another character like her it will mess to much up. We still have Laurie, Karen, and Allison we need to take care of and that will take both films if done right. I would rather her just be a cameo if she is in it but nothing more then that.

Danielle Harris isn’t needed. I understand why people want her but all we’d be thinking is “hey it’s Jamie Lloyd”. Just like with the Zombie films. What I want to see with these two new films is more of a focus on tension and suspense building and less on comedy

Well Danielle is just as much a part of this franchise as Jamie Lee Curtis. If you don’t want Danielle in it because of new timelines and this and that and everything else, then maybe they should never have brought back Jamie Lee Curtis for yet another new timeline. They decided to handcuff him to Laurie again, so naturally the fans of Danielle want to see her get a proper redo as well.

The only way you were going to avoid Danielles fans wanting a do over with her, is by not bringing back any of these characters and starting fresh from the ground up. That didn’t happen, so there you go. Some people feel the same about Jamie Lee Curtis as far as not wanting more timelines and stories with her character.

As for a cameo, that’s acceptable. As long as it’s subtle and not in your face.

As far as people thinking she’s Jamie Lloyd, well plenty still think Laurie and Michael are siblings even though they said they weren’t. They aren’t getting away from these problems until they start completely fresh with new characters and stories that aren’t handcuffed to Strodes or Lloyds or anything else.

Yes! The comedy I felt in H18 was a little much for me. I don’t mind a joke here and there but sometimes its the wrong moment. Example every line Julian had during the Vicky attack, The humor killed the build up for me.

If any comedy very, very little! Danielle in the RZ films wasn’t my thing. :? Now H4 & H5 she was balls to the walls. Really liked her an her being such a talented child actress was impressive. Now her being older an still very, very talented she could knockout a good role anyday of the week. Getting to the point love to at least see her have a cameo. She deserves that much. She worked her butt off in H4 and 5. :mrgreen:

Oh I can imagine her still having the Jamie Lloyd name in the new cameo. Like say hey there’s Miss. Jamie Lloyd out walking her dogs not knowing there is a mask psychopath on the loose butchering people in Haddonfield. It would be a new Jamie Lloyd that lives across the street from the Strodes home. That’s if it is in Haddonfield an not another location cause I have heard at least in 1 report that the Strodes move away to another town, like H20. Don’t know how true that is. :? :shock:

You get where I’m coming from. :mrgreen:

Yes I do, very much so. :wink: You are not alone my friend, you are not alone.

I understand completely where you’re coming from, but to me if you were going to do a Danielle Harris cameo or have her be an intregal part of the story H18 would of been perfect for it. There were already callbacks to every single film in the franchise and other moments of fan service. Having her in it would make more sense to me at that time. But the filmmakers made their decision and now I feel like having her in it just wouldn’t gel right. David Gordan Green should really try to make these two new films his own without the pressure of fan service that they felt was needed for H18. Just my opinion of course. That being said, Danielle was terrific in H4 and H5 and is the best part of both of those films along with Pleasence

One good thing is they are collaborating with different writers this time around. There was another writer for the previous installment but I don’t know how influential he was. I think we can all agree that’s where the previous film had a bit of a hiccup.

She should have played Karen in H18, they have missed the boat already for it imo.

Don’t have her play Jamie, would be too confusing at this point. She could have been in the last one but she wasn’t, too little too late now.

yeah

I third that.

Truly terrible titles.
Hopefully the films will be as good as H40. Which was great.

How does that work? A trilogy with four films?

I was shocked to come across this particular thread given this one here is the more active one: https://forum.michael-myers.net/t/halloween-kills-halloween-ends-discussion/61791/1 and this one was actually made just days later. How did that thread get so much activity and this one kind of just died out?

A trilogy starting with the 2018 movie since it’s “rebooted” things to an extent. Despite it being a sequel, it comes off as a fresh start like Bride of Chucky. So we’re not including the original in the mix since this is only for the Blumhouse material and the specific arc it’s telling. It’s all about arcs like how Halloweens 4-6 act as a trilogy with Jamie Lloyd or A Nightmare on Elm Streets 3-5 act as a trilogy with the dream warriors/Alice plotline, or even Friday the 13th Parts 4-6 since they make up the Tommy Jarvis storyline. Trilogy as in a specific arc, not so much there actually being three movies in the series or timeline continuity.
