    @Michael Myers Sorry bud, I think you’re going to be very disappointed. I’m curious to see your opinion but you’ll probably agree with all of us.

    Edit: I mean the new Halloween btw. Not Hereditary which I haven’t seen yet.

    @M Solo ranked it second worst in the series. I think it’s somewhere in the middle personally.

    NP: Black Christmas ‘74

    This is a classic. The obscene phone calls still hold up to me and are still downright disturbing. And that glass unicorn k--- is one of the all time greats. Halloween is my all time favorite but it owes a lot to this film.

    Black Christmas is dope and still severely underrated. It also boasts a really chilling final scene.

    Slant Magazine recently updated its list of 100 best horror films of all time. The top films are most of the standard classics, but the rest of the list is still pretty interesting and worth checking out for Halloween recommendations. https://www.slantmagazine.com/features/article/the-100-greatest-horror-movies-of-all-time

    So I watched Hereditary. I really don’t know how to feel about it. Can someone explain the ending to me? I’m a little lost lol.

    The entire film is so soaked in dread and the ending just drives it home.
    Omg this.
    I almost felt like someone was sitting next to me saying “Hey remember when this happened in the original? Remember when this character said such and such? Remember how awesome it was in the original but it isn’t here?” And I haven’t seen anyone mention this part yet so I have to say it. Laurie saying “Happy Halloween, Michael” while coming out of the darkness was so bad. Both the way it was shot and the way the line is delivered. I know it was supposed to be like where Michael appeared behind Laurie in the original but it just doesn’t work at all here. At least Laurie disappearing outside when Michael looked away for a second was pretty well done. It got a nice applause from the crowd I was with.

    Honestly, its great. Yes it kinda tries to copy the original (jamie = laurie), kids bullying her just like they did w tommy, sheriff being the father of one of the girls, loomis finding bodies on his way to haddonfield etc.

    But..

    -The scene w the 4 'michaels'
    - instead of fear the people of haddonfield being angry and ready to fight
    - earl saying ' u dumb son of a b----, u said u saw myers'
    - jamie and rachel wandering thru the streets
    - beautiful halloween elements
    - the music, jamies theme is great
    - jamies nightmare scene
    - characters overall
    Etc

    It has so many great things and therefore its definitely my 2nd favorite. I watched all but 1 and h20 this month (gonna check them on 31st) and at this point for me its:

    Halloween 1
    Halloween 4
    Halloween 2
    Halloween 3
    Halloween H20 (despite being the less 'halloween vibe' movie
    Halloween 5 / halloween 6
    Halloween 1 remake rob zombie



























    Halloween Ressurection & H2 by Zombie

    H4 also has my second favorite opening in the series. And I love that scene with Loomis and the guy in the truck. It’s really a great film. A couple minor fixes like making Myers smaller and giving him a better mask would’ve made it even better.

    Do you think it was a smart move not continuing w jamie being a killer (which was basically the set up at the end of the movie
