'CAUSE MURDER IS YOUR WILL, YOU'RE AFTER LAURIE STRODE
YOU'RE GIVING ME THE CHILLS, BABY, PLEASE MICHAEL DON'T
'CAUSE EVERY TIME YOU KILL I THINK I MIGHT BE NEXT MIKEY

(Apologize to Toni Basil and John Carpenter)

HEY MIKEY, YOU'RE A SIGN
THAT EVIL WALKS AS HUMANKIND
HEY MIKEY!
HEY MIKEY!

YOU'VE BEEN STALKING ME ALL NIGHT, AND THAT'S A LITTLE LONG
YOU THINK THAT I CAN'T FIGHT BECAUSE YOU'RE INHUMAN STRONG
I'M GETTING SUCH A FRIGHT SINCE YOU BROKE INTO MY HOME, MIKEY!

Okay, that's a good callback to the first movie's prologue to end this one.

8/10, good sequel, better than 2 and 3. I kind of wish the series had ended here, it's a good note.

I don't like the mask with the blonde hair.

That's just an aesthetic quibble though.

Forgetting to reload your gun after trying to shoot your way through a door because a serial killer is in your house, also high IQ move.

The Red King @theredking.bsky.social · 2h

Trying to spook a cop by dressing up like an actual serial killer that's killed people in your town before is a high IQ move for sure.

*Wow*.

One date gets cancelled because she had to take care of her sister, and he immediately hops into bed with someone else?

I've noticed a trend in these older movies - the police actually take things more seriously than they do in modern movies.

They blessedly got rid of the synth from Halloween 2's theme. This version is a bit jauntier, I like it.

So there's a car accident, the ambulance flipped over... and there's blood smeared all over the outside of the ambulance for some reason?

You'd think that after Halloween 2 people would believe Loomis by now.

Wait. How is this Laurie's daughter?

The real horror in this movie is the eyes and teeth of this security guard in the asylum.

This doesn't look like Haddonfield.

This looks like Nebraska.

October 11th: Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers

Let's see what ol' Michael has been up to after taking a break while a *checks notes* 'robot-building TV cursed commercial warlock' took over.

OG timeline! (The Halloween timeline is a mess due to all the various remakes)

I unironically absolutely love 30STM. I almost got a tattoo based on their music (glad I didn't).

But man

Leto is just such a bad actor and, by all accounts, a very shitty person.

This person's very next post is a demand to wear masks under all circumstances, so I suspect they were being sarcastic here (the original post they were replying to is deleted, so, impossible to tell)

Not a hot take, IMO. You're just literally stating fact there.

Lost Boys is one of my and my partner's special interests, I gotta look into this.

She used to work on the boardwalk and beach they shot the movie on!
