The History of Halloween Part III - 'The Thorn Trilogy.'

[@John_Smith77]

“What in Sam Hell is going on with Michael’s mask?” Obviously, he was paying tribute to the murdered Ben Tramer from Halloween II, WHO HAS STILL NOT GOTTEN JUSTICE AFTER ALL THESE YEARS! I for one, applaud Michael for attempting to preserve the memory of Mr. Tramer.

[@glennwelsh9784]

I too love Halloween 4, flaws and all. For a long time, it was my "white noise movie" that I'd play when I went to sleep every night. Halloween 5 is pretty ponderously bad without many redeeming qualities. The Myers mask is terrible, making Jamie a mute in a hospital is bad, killing off Rachel and giving us more disposable teens that you KNOW Michael will chop up is bad, and goddamn TINA is annoyingly bad. Halloween 6 is bad, but the behind-the-scenes drama of its production and the emergence of the Producer's Cut make it a very intriguing piece of horror movie lore. Like observing a car wreck on the side of the road, you know it's bad but you're attracted to it by a morbid curiosity. Also, the H6 Myers mask looks awesome and one of my favorite masks in the series. It looks like it's made of stone or granite, as ancient and immovable as the force powering Michael.

[@silentxero5955]

I also disliked that they killed off Rachel so unceremoniously and right in the first half of the film. I thought Rachel should have survived, at least until the end if not the whole story arc.

[@Hardrada_129]

Here's how I'd write Halloween 5: If we *must* have Michael return as the killer, then his survival would not be explained. We would see the shooting and maybe the explosion (it's a bit unnecessary). However, much like the characters themselves, we would be left to wonder how he survived and why he won't just die. Jamie killed her *foster* mom. No half-assed retconns or tap dancing around consequences. Jamie is in an asylum for crazed children because she's a murderer. There's no telepathic link between her and Michael, because that's stupid. Jamie merely acted on a psychosis planted in her mind from the traumatic experience of Michael trying to kill her. Rachel is not bubbly, she's not happy, and she definitely does not visit Jamie in the asylum. Rachel resents Jamie for what she did. And struggles knowing that she sacrificed so much, facing down death itself to save a strange girl she hardly knew, and who would ultimately bring her and her family nothing but grief. Her mother, her boyfriend, and her father (who killed himself over his wife's death) would all be alive if she had just let Michael do what he came to do. Doctor Loomis has returned to Smith's Grove where he keeps a close eye on Jamie. Occasionally asking her assigned psychiatrist, Doctor Bailey (new character) if he can interview Jamie with her oversight (he can't be alone with a girl he tried to shoot). Loomis learns here that Jamie has no memory of what she did, and is seemingly normal and functioning, and only asks why her big sister won't visit her. Loomis knows these aren't the symptoms that Michael possessed as a child, and that perhaps Jamie was just another victim of him, having her life ruined like all the other people he's hurt. Maybe whatever evil drives Michael infected Jamie for just long enough to get her put away to a location familiar to Michael, where she would be alone and intentionally isolated from the town that was able to stop him the last time. Rachel, bitter and resentful, hesitantly joins a group of townspeople in Haddonfield who think the best course for the town is to hand Jamie over to Michael. It's they who throw the rock in Jamie's window. Only with a slightly different letter attached. Maybe we get a shot of Jamie looking out the window and seeing Rachel, her sister whom she hasn't seen in almost a year, and she's outside looking up at her just as the Shape would. The Shape returns, as always immediately starts killing people. He begins with Sheriff Meeker, whom he kills after a tense fight where Meeker actually does some damage to Michael, but ultimately loses. Here Michael learns what happened to Jamie. (I won't detail any kills as I'm more focused on the overall narrative) News of Meeker's death spreads, and Rachel and her new friends know who is responsible. So they go out to Smith's Grove. There they meet one of their own: Doctor Bailey. She was a friend of Rachel's mother and encouraged her to foster Jamie after Laurie Strode's death. Like Rachel she carries guilt over what that choice led to. She hands Jamie over to them and they take her to the Myer's house (which is not some vampire's summer home but an actual middle class house). Loomis sees this and follows. At the Myer's house, they prepare to hand Jamie over. Rachel is having a harder and harder time going through with it. As she is realizing that Jamie is not like her uncle, something she would have seen had she ever visited her. Loomis arrives and is able to convince Rachel to save Jamie, to save her little sister. He tells her that Jamie is not an agent of the Shape, they are. He made Jamie do what she did, but Rachel, Doctor Bailey and the others are choosing to give Michael exactly what he wants. And that killing Jamie won't stop him, he'll win, and then he'll find another. Rachel frees Jamie, and with Loomis' help they flee into the basement as the Shape has arrived and is preventing their escape. The Shape rampages through the house, killing Doctor Bailey and all the other vigilantes, knocking over candles that start a fire. In the basement he finds Loomis between him and the girls. Loomis draws his gun, and shoots Michael six times, putting him on the ground and giving Jamie and Rachel the chance to escape. Loomis tells Rachel to take Jamie and flee, go far away and never come back, tell no one of where they're going. As they leave, Loomis uses his body weight against the door to trap a weakened Michael in the basement. He sits there and says, "It's time, Michael." And waits, as the fire consumes both of them, and the house itself. *The End* That's my rough draft for Halloween 5, it conflicts with my idea for Halloween 6 but I won't get into that. Apologies for any typos, and I hope it was good.

[@brandonspain12345]

41:47 Too be fair, that script was FUCKING AWFUL because Jamie not only has psychic powers, but also telekinetic powers like Tina in F13 Part 7 and SO DOES MICHAEL!!! Who at one point multiplies himself to 16 clones of himself to tick Loomis and Jamie. Dr. Loomis is also the villain who's trying to kill Jamie until she just hugs him and he changes his mind. The script also features a jock who's basically like Dan in Nightmare 4 and a lot of the script felt very Freddy including the way Jamie defeats Michael by saying "I don't believe in you!" And Michael turns into a hundred knives and when they take off his mask, he's turned into a little boy. (Yeah, basically a Jason Takes Manhattan ending. Are you serious!?!) Loomis does and the writer of the script said he hated the character because he was a overused character and after Michael's defeated, Jamie is driven by the jock and she kills him at the end, and it ends exactly where Halloween 4 ended with nothing to learn for Jamie whatever. They basically just started back from the beginning. And I can see why Akkad didn't like the script because it would've been terrible.

Another great video. Each one is better than the previous and I gotta say this is my favorite history of you’ve done. Part 5 is horrendous but for whatever reason as kid I’d rewatch it a lot. I had the double pack of part 4 and 5 dvd and even though I’d turn off part 5 about 30 minutes in I always got in the mood to throw it in. Maybe it’s just because the cookie woman line is so terrible that it’s my favorite line in the franchise. I always wanna say on a personal note, it’s awesome to see you do some horror. A very good friend of mine showed me my first horror film, Halloween 2, when we were 9. Since then we’ve always talked horror and would throw on a film whenever we hungout. About 2 1/2 years ago I came out to him as trans and he ended our friendship over it. He was the only person in my life who loved horror and I’ve missed being able to talk to him about it. So it’s nice to get to watch a chill and funny guy like you talk about one of the best slasher franchises ever (I’m more of a Nightmare on Elm Street gal but Halloween was my first franchise love as a kid)

Great job with the vid Ian! This part of the Halloween franchise certainly has its ups and downs for sure. I loved the 4th one, even with its mishaps. 5, I think most will agree with you on your thesis. I personally found the man in black intriguing. When its revealed at the end he breaks him out of prison and we are left us with that cliff hanger for 6 years, that was crazy. During this time where Michael had just up and disappeared, I heard many rumors as to what happened to him, my favorite being he was captured and sent to space. I thought that was a crazy idea and made no sense. Little did I know with the same description of this potential sequel, it would be realized in Jason x. I honestly prefer the producer's cut of 6. Some of the story choices are not very good but this version feels more like Halloween than the theatrical version. There's also a director's cut of the film but hasn't been released, officially or unofficial asi far as I know. 4's opening scene is out of this world. It captures that true Halloween vibe but only referring to the movie but over all. I look forward to your next installment and when the retrospective is compete and it's available to watch them all in one sitting! 👊

Michael didn’t **** Jamie, in my head canon she was inseminated by the cult. Still bad but if Mike doing it was 10/10, then this way is 9/10

[@PJohnson223]

"Marty Jannetty's Loomis through the window"... Lmfao! Priceless! 🤣

[@chrisroesel8517]

Great video. Your spotlight videos are so well done. Personally I think of these 3 movies what you think of Halloween 5. Except for Danielle Harris. She’s awesome

[@616Entertainment]

She's good indeed.

[@darkkryptonian6435]

I love the fact you are using Super Castlevania 4 music in this.

I rewatched all of them skipping 07/09 reboots and I’m watching the season of the witch at the end.. I feel like everything has always been tied together, down to the dates/ monologues/ signs .. in a realistic matter it felt like John carpenter was just forced to direct a franchise that was being displayed by someone else. Like how the thorn is being displayed through one figure. Only film that I feel is out of place is H20, in some aspects. I feel like someone should revisit this franchise, if not I’ll be doing an analysis after I finish watching everybody else’s retrospectives as well as the rest of the film. But we always felt like there was something bigger at play, it even feels like these movies were purposely showing what they were showing in each film, some of the release dates are a literal year apart, how do we know each movie wasnt 3 hours long and split into multiple parts ? Shiii even if nobody view mine ima talk about it regardless

"Alright before I continue my murder spree I need to find a mask similar to the one I had before... Need to keep with the brand" - Micheal before the fourth movie

[@kareemthornton7150]

Thank you bro for all the videos i been watching for 2 days so far I love it nostalgic asf

[@616Entertainment]

Thank you for watching!

[@ianbrewer247]

Halloween 6 was actually the very first Halloween I saw, I was 10 years old and my older brother convinced me to watch it, I rewatched it for the first time after your retrospective bro I even for the first time saw Season of the Witch, It wasn't terrible but it wasn't great it somehow felt contrived, it does have it's moments that's for sure but to me personally it didn't feel like a Halloween movie, I can respect it for what it is though, gearing up for Halloween kills can't wait to see it

[@616Entertainment]

Enjoy Kills!

The H5 director's interview in the Taking Shape book is amazing. "This decision was terrible garbage, but Dominique is the one who made it, and Dominique is the kind of person who refers to himself in the third person, so it's actually brilliant!"

[@tgriffin3059]

Othenin-Girard has been just about the ONLY man to come along who actually understood what made the original what it was. The only sequel that's even in the same class as 5 is Halloween 2, and I don't know how much of that film was Rosenthal and how much was Carpenter. There's no such confusion over Halloween 5. Othenin-Girard centered it RELENTLESSLY around the elements that made the '78 classic so special. Halloween 5 is forged on the stalking sequences, and cat-and-mouse scenarios, that were the backbone of the original.

[@patharrington592]

I'm not the first to say it, but the Dr. Loomis getting Marty Jannetty'd comment popped me HARD. 😂😂

[@616Entertainment]

Hahahaha I'm glad that's getting over.

[@joecrackin3783]

H6 was the first one I was able to see in theaters, so I have a lot of nostalgia about it. Me and my cousin snagged a bootleg DVD of the producers cut at a fangoria convention years and years before Blu-ray was even a thing. It was super rough, but it blew our minds as we had only heard rumors about it if I remember correctly.

[@lucalai9433]

Great video and live comments thanks for your hard work Ian

[@616Entertainment]

Thanks for being here, Luca.

[@nicole9volt]

BRAH! My suggestion feed needs a COMPLETE reboot... ain’t no reason I’m on this app every day and just now seeing this!!

[@616Entertainment]

Click the bell, do whatever the hell it is they require you to do to see what you actually want to see these days. KZbin is a mess. Either way I’m glad you found it. =)

[@nicole9volt]

@@616Entertainment Gotcha, sometimes I forget... I’ve only been using KZbin for about a decade before it came out you know.. lol

[@111highgh]

Fun fact: Of the big 3 horror franchises, the movie with the lowest rating on Rotten Tomatoes is, believe or not, Friday the 13th part 3, with a 7% rating. The next 2 lowest would be Jason Takes Manhattan with 8%, and The Curse of Michael Myers with 9%. Halloween Resurrection has 12%. I love all of these movies, by the way. All of them!

[@cellariusmack2595]

Was waiting all week for this!!

[@616Entertainment]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@davebooshty299]

41:22 Plus on the poster the mask is the Original one from parts 1 and 2 , Which is also confusing looking too.

[@616Entertainment]

It’s a confusing web of crap, lol

[@DNSV-ex8of]

You and i have alot in common bro. grew up on the monday night wars.. love the smackdown series.. the halloween series are my favorite horror movies... resident evil is my favorite series of games.. love the content my man in the presentation in your reviews is top-notch never stop keep it going and thank you for your videos we definitely would have been best friends in high school if we knew each other

[@Raziel_Plisken]

20:10 that right there is what I remember the most of Halloween 3, ok, story time (I promise to keep it short) when I was in 7th grade we had a special day at school, we didn't have regular classes but in each classroom the teachers and the senior students were showing movies and yeah, I chose Halloween 3 (maybe that one was the first one I saw) that guy's death really scared the shit out of me and the ending... Many theories came, and we talk about it at length at school the next day, thinking back, what an awesome time we had. Thanks for bringing those memories back my dude

[@aqualiens4080]

On a side note, Reverend Jackson P. Sayer, despite only having the one scene in Halloween 4, is among my favorite tertiary characters in the entire franchise. His scene is one of my favorites in that arena as well. I have always wanted to see some kind of backstory on him, as he seems like there is a hell of a story to be told. I know that he sticks around a little while longer in the novelization, and that he becomes one of the only people in the franchise to meet Michael face to face and live, though he doesn't walk away without being wounded.

[@616Entertainment]

Big time. I initially wrote about this expanded deal in the novel and how he loses his vision, but this is so long that I made some cuts to the video, and that was one of them.

[@mrkipling2201]

One of my favourite characters from all the Halloween films!! “ you’re a pilgrim ain’t yah “.

[@Maxking09]

“Loomis gets Marty Jannetty’d through the window”….. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 I immediately thought of Bobby “The Brain” Heenan’s “Jannetty tried dive through to the window to escape” 🤣😂🤣🤣

[@616Entertainment]

Hahahahahhha

[@SparkyMarkyMark23]

I've heard of sound clips & bits of scenes from both versions & been dying ever since 7TH Grade, then I first saw H6 only a little bit on The Startz Channel back when I when I was in 8TH Grade, then saw the final act sequence on The FX Channel 5 months after I was done with high school & love it, & still love it till this day.

[@emersonv]

2020 Messed me up so much I thought your next video was coming out NEXT YEAR... I was like NOOOO
