I think Halloween is best as a simple story. This sounds a bit too much.

“It’s about a community that is united by outrage, and divided in how to deal with evil.”
Sounds about right. In H2 1981, the entire neighborhood comes out to throw rocks at the Myers house, necessitating the need for the police to come out and get them to calm down and go away. One of their number was butchered, this will be the wake.
Yeah but that was like about a five minute segment… the entire movie wasn’t about that
Also, let’s not forget the roving band of drunken rednecks in H4. R.I.P. Ted Hollister.
It plays a part in big scene
I’m over mobs…too much nightly news
Is there anything you actually like at all?
I agree, it sounds a lot like what’s going on right now. I prefer when no one knows Michael is there in Haddonfield, and he’s just going around in broad daylight doing his thing with no one the wiser.
Sounds cool to me
Read a more detailed article and it actually sounds pretty great.
Not a fan. The original is an intimate quiet story about a night a lunatic stalked three girls. This is getting out of hand…
Y’all are saying y’all dislike how it sounds but it doesn’t really say much about the movie from that little quote…
Calm down and wait to see it
Right? I mean, it’s nothing different than what we’ve seen in H2, H4, and H5. You can’t keep having the same little intimate H1 type story. That gets boring after awhile.
People beg for an H1 clone but if they made that, people would complain about it being an H1 clone! It’s crazy
I honestly enjoy rob Zombie’s H1 much more than h40. I know I’m in the minority there but I just much prefer the simpler original story even with the added early Michael bits. I didn’t find h40 scary in any shape or form. Zombie’s vision was still very much frightening in my opinion. The scare is all in that original simple story. But yeah, I know most disagree and that’s fine. Just how it speaks to me.
I like that RZH1 is a breath of fresh air in a franchise that started feeling stale, and becoming a parody of itself. Personally, I would have ran the script through one more polishing session just to reduce the trashiness of the characters. But then again, that’s Rob Zombie. White-trash characters and Rob Zombie go hand in hand. My one dislike of H18 is that it continued with the rot mask trend, and I was kinda hoping they’d go back to the fresher look.
Yeah, totally agree with that.
Great thread title…
While I do like a fresh mask, it could have been really beaten up like the hero is now, but then he could have found an Emmett Kelly mask, of course a new replica, but that should be used as a temporary one
Thanks
