Line #7 Funny/Halloween2018


1	! This page contains unmarked spoilers. Administrivia/YouHaveBeenWarned!
2	----
3	* A brief but subtle moment: after Aaron enquires whether Laurie believes in the Bogeyman, and Laurie subsequently verbally mauls him, the camera cuts back to Dana, who briefly wears a "For God's sake, what the hell are you doing?" expression when looking at her partner before turning back to Laurie and resuming the interview.
4	* Allyson's father Ray is introduced working on mousetraps, using peanut butter as bait. He then snaps one on his finger and [[TooMuchInformation complains that he got some peanut butter on his penis]].
5	** Later, when he meets Cameron, [[AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents he tells him straight-up that he and Cameron's dad did drugs together in high school]]. Made funnier that earlier he waxed on about Cameron's family and their influence potentially leading to Allyson's future as a redneck.
6	* It's a serious moment, but it is rather amusing when Laurie turns up at Allyson's meet-the-boyfriend effort - and immediately grabs Ray's glass of wine for a massive gulp without even acknowledging him. The resigned frustration on Ray's face suggests this isn't the first time she's done that to him either.
7	* Although they overlap with NightmareFuel, the glimpses of [[FunnyBackgroundEvent Michael in the background]] at the gas station. He can be seen parking the stolen truck, casually crossing the parking lot like he isn't a 6 foot 3 man in white asylum scrubs, and beating a mechanic to death with his bare fists so that he can steal his coveralls. All of this goes completely unnoticed.
8	* For a preteen boy, Julian is pretty quick to figure out that Vicky plans to bring her friends over to his place to smoke weed. He threatens to tell his mom, but shuts up when Vicky says she'll tell his parents about [[TheInternetIsForPorn his browser history]] if he does. It's clear both are in VitriolicBestBuds territory, after Julian knocks her lack of babysitting cred, with Vicky instantly clapping back that he's only her tenth favourite kid that she babysits.
9	--> '''Vicky:''' And I babysit [[PrecisionFStrike some fucking loser kids]].
10	** Julian's GenreSavvy tendencies in general being laugh-out-loud. From telling Vicky to have Dave check his room for an intruder first, so he dies instead of her, all the way to immediately running from his bed than risk another second with Michael (though he does come back, sliding into TearJerker territory as she screams at him to run).
11	** There's a very brief moment during the ambush that says quite a lot. When Vicky rams a chair into Michael's face, he seems blindsided and stunned by the sudden attack. Somehow, a chair to the face was enough to catch him off guard, even momentarily. And his body language after getting hit either looks like he's confused by what happened as if he was surprised by it or pissed and insulted that she had the audacity to try something like that, almost as if he's thinking, "How fucking dare you!"
12	** Julian yelling to Dave that he's definitely going to get killed as he rushes out of the house is pretty hilarious.
13	*** There's also Dave's antics, like riding and crashing a [[CoolBike vintage motorcycle]] he found in Julian's garage while stoned.
14	* When Laurie finds Michael after forty years, what is he doing? Looking at himself in a mirror inside one of the rooms in Julian's house for no reason. Then, when she shoots the mirror (mistaking its reflection for Michael), Michael [[MenacingStroll casually]] ''[[MenacingStroll speedwalks]]'' down the brightly lit stairway, as Hawkins yells and shoots at him; he's so calm during all this, he might as well been whistling as he left.
15	** Then when you think about it, he had enough time to kill Dave, cover up Vicky in a BedsheetGhost costume, and put a jack-o-lantern in an aquarium, so all that he was doing was staring at himself in the mirror like a little kid.
16	* Laurie's dramatic confession of wishing that Michael would escape so that she could kill him, being undercut by Hawkins calling out how dumb of a thing that was to wish for, while outside of Michael's latest kill site.
17	** Depending how you look at it, it's also a TearJerker, since Laurie is shown with a grim expression on her face as Hawkins leaves, probably regretting what she did, believing all this bloodshed is all on her somehow.
18	* After Allyson turns down Oscar's tactless attempt to kiss her, he drunkenly apologizes, claiming that not only was he really drunk, he was also horny because lots of hot girls at the Halloween dance were grinding on him and "feeding me guacamole in sexy ways." When Michael Myers appears, he mistakes Michael for the owner of the yard he's sitting in, and asks him whether or not [[{{Irony}} he's ever really wanted a girl he couldn't have]]. Michael, for his part, [[TheComicallySerious just stands there staring at him until he's done]].
19	* Dr. Sartain kills Hawkins and captures Michael, stuffing his maskless body and his separated mask with Allyson in the backseat; he is later telling his obsession with wanting to know why Michael kills, along with wanting to hear him to Allyson. To escape this crazy asshole, Allyson lies that she heard Michael speak and will tell Sartain if he lets her go. Sartain then stops the car and demands for Allyson to tell him. But as she tries to come up with a lie of what Michael said, ''[[NightmareFuel she hears Michael]] [[VaderBreath breathing]]'' [[OhCrap and she ends up blurting out "FUCK!"]], as the camera pans to an awake and remasked Michael.
20	** The fact Michael was able to silently remask himself without being noticed by them, even though they're barely a foot away from him.
21	** The way Michael escapes the car is humorous in its own way; you know how little kids kick the back of car seats? Michael kicks the grate between the driver's seat so hard, it gets ripped out of its fittings and he starts kick Sartain into the steering wheel hard enough to knock him unconscious.
22	** There's also something humorous in the way that Michael just stares as Allyson for a moment before turning his attention to Sartain. Sure, might have been to [[TheSociopath terrify Allyson before he goes after her next]], but it almost seems like he's saying "Can you believe this guy? Wait here while I kill him, okay?"
23	* Officers Richards and Francis discussing what they brought to eat, and Francis taking out a small container with a single brownie and some chocolate pudding.
24	-->'''Richards:''' That's- That's like what a five-year-old would eat if they could make their own lunch.
25	** Francis then gets defensive and starts talking about how he made the brownie himself.
26	* After Michael throws Laurie off her balcony, he looks away for a moment and Laurie disappears just like Michael did at the end of the first film after getting shot off the balcony. And this is accompanied by a ScareChord, which at this point, has only been reserved for Michael.
27	-->(Laurie has disappeared) [[ScareChord ''Dun-na-NAAA!'']]
28	** One can't help but feel Michael might have had a Batman moment: [[Film/TheDarkKnightRises So that's what that feels like]].
29	* The Sartain and Hawkins Ride Along deleted scene:
30	** Hawkins' irritated-sounding "what a dick" when hearing Michael's probably going after Laurie (like Michael's been spray-painting cars or something instead of killing over a dozen people).
31	** Sartain asking if Hawkins has ever worn women's underwear. Hawkins just [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe stares at him]].
32	** Sartain picking his nose, and Hawkins' increasing exasperation with it.
33	--> '''[[TheComicallySerious Hawkins]]:''' [[PrecisionFStrike Quite picking your fuckin' boogers.]]
34	--> '''[[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Sartain]]:''' I scratch my brain through my nose!
