Halloween Alert!!

Question about Halloween 3: Does Michael ever appear in that one? I've only watched the first 15 minutes of that one.

 

So they're only allowed to show these movies one night a year? Better watch yourself. Michael Myers might come after you when his royalty checks dry up.
There are two reasons those were on last night:
1) AMC always shows horror movies on Fridays, and they apparently have the rights to most of the Halloween flicks. It was their turn in the rotation.
2) The new Halloween flick comes out next weekend. This is a way to capitalize on whatever buzz is out there and get a cheap ratings pop.

The last Halloween sequel wasn't a great movie, but it had one of the great premises of all time -- what happens to a famous slasher when they've accomplished their life's goal?
Myers finally kills Laurie Strode in the beginning, then literally hands in his knife and goes home. Probably would've quietly lived out the rest of his days there, too, if it hadn't been for those meddling kids.
Some people would just shake their fist and say get off of the lawn. Old Man Myers starts stabbing people. I'd hate to see what he does to the kid who hits a baseball through his window

 

Batman: As a huge fan of the original, Carpenter's kick-ass theme, etc., GREAT post! Loved the part about most people just shaking their fist... thanks for the laugh. ;D

 

Glad to do my part, Colton.

Resurrection just always struck me as funny. I can practically see Myers watching Jamie Lee plummet to her death, then thinking, "Damn glad that's over with. Now I can finally go home and have a fucking beer, grill up a rat and watch the Bears game."

 

Mikey appears in it once, but only on TV as part of an ad when the main character is in a bar.

Halloween 3, while not good, had its OK moments.

 

Wow ... just ... Wow

As a huge Halloween fan I take my hat off to you sir. Can't wait for the new one.

 

Sixty-sev-en days till Hall-o-ween, Hall-o-ween, Hall-o-ween...Sixty-sev-en days till Hall-o-ween, Hall-o-ween, Hall-o-ween...Sil-ver Shamrock

God, I've spent way too much of my life watching these movies.

 

That was one of the low points. God that song is ANNOYING!

 

Batman: My GAWD that song is annoying!

 

Yeah, I'll be humming it to myself the rest of the night now. I fully expect my co-workers to give me the "what the fuck are you doing?" look within the hour.

 

Batman: Better yet, download it to your machine at work and play it for them... about a thousand times!

While I love the original theme, my favorite track is "The Shape Stalks." Every Halloween, it put a bowl of candy on the front steps -- and I have the Halloween soundtrack on a loop playing on the front porch. Should see the looks on the little bastards' kids' faces! ;D

 

I know AMC has its Fear Friday, and honestly I had forgotten about the new movie coming out next week when I was watching it last night.

But at least they didn't do like TBS last night with Blade, showing Trinity first then Blade 2 after that.
