Halloween (2018)

Well if we assume Loomis was as old as Donald Pleasence, he would be almost 120 by the time this film came out. Hell, Michael himself has to be in his 60s at this point.

Sixty-one.

I tend to think of Scream as the most Halloween Spiritual Successor there is.

I was disappointed when we didn't get a great horror movie with a knife-wielding killer and a character named Loomis in 2014.

To be fair, in Halloween 4, Loomis DID try and talk Michael down briefly in that scene (he even offered to let Michael kill him if Michael would agree to leave everyone else alone). But it was obvious that Michael was beyond reason at that point, so that's why Loomis tried to shoot him.

There will be a trailer this coming month, according to Jason Blum's Twitter.

I Spit On Your Grave, Halloween, Ash vs Evil Dead...

...now where are my Scream and Jeepers Creepers reboots, I wonder.

Scream is uniquely Craven's(except for Ghostface finally showing up in the next season of the TV series) and Jeepers Creepers is poison to producers because Francis Ford Coppola was the only one willing to give its pedophile creator another chance way back when. Third film got dumped on a few screens.

Do a Friday reboot the right way.

With a cheap ass cast of unknowns and no budget!

...what has Michael been doing all of this time anyway?

He's been locked up.

I posted on Reddit that I'd really like if they did a subversion of him being the Implacable Man. That, instead, he's just a sixty year old+ serial killer who has to rely on pure stealth. I always preferred Michael Myers as a human psychopath versus the Boogeyman or a Druid Golem.

I have got to ask what you avatar is a picture of because it looked like Harley Quinn in a police line-up with Darth Vader at first glance.

I feel like making Michael a feeble old man would... reduce the scare factor somewhat. He has to be an efficient killer

The only times I've felt that elderly serial killers work on-screen were Saw, Dexter, and Don't Breathe.

> like making Michael a feeble old man would... reduce the scare factor somewhat. He has to be an efficient killer

Not really,he can still be an efficient killer,tagline "Age slows everyone down-Except him'

That's Cindy Wakowski a.k.a Red Riding Hood and Gary Karkofsky a.k.a Merciless the Supervillain without Mercy. They're the stars of my superhero novel, The Rules of Supervillainy.

It was one of my favorite moments as an author when someone corrected my TV tropes page for it with facts I didn't remember. :)

It depends on what exactly is the purpose of Michael Myers in this movie. In H20, which this seems like a remake of (of sorts), the purpose is how Laurie eventually finally as well as permanently killed Michael.

Michael isn't really a franchise kind of monster I think.

Mostly because he's been imitated and done to death by so many others.

Come on Michael, at least wait til she's done using the toilet, then kill her. That's just common courtesy.

Laurie is taking Loomis's role, actively hunting Michael and training herself with firearms? I... didn't see this coming, but I love it.

It looks like Sidney Prescott is about to lose her throne as the best female horror movie protagonist.

I was skeptical (and otherwise not really into this franchise) but it looks like there's some subtlety here.

Subtlety? How so?

Okay, who's idea was it to show Michael his old mask after 40 years of being incarcerated? That's just asking for trouble.

Michael dumping a whole bunch of teeth in the bathroom stall was delightfully creepy though.

From what I've heard, Michael's new shrink has them show it to him to see if it'll make him do anything. It works.

No, offensive against Judy Greer but I wish Danielle Harris was playing Laura’s daughter. We never saw her and Jamie Lee Curtis on screen together.

Hope there is an Easter egg saying Laura has two other children.

There are some spoilers...
