Hey, there is the iron clad, from the mind of Carpenter himself, reason for Michael's madness: sister/samhain. Michael is under druidical forces. People may not like it, but Michael is not going to go through all that trouble to write it, if not so. It's not as if he has a sense of humor and is joking. The link between sister and sacrifice on Samhain, coupled with his 9 lives and, even in the original, unaccounted for physical power, the answer is obvious and clear. And from the hand of the babe, himself, John Carpenter. You should have touched on this indisputable new direction. It was important. Other than that, it was an amazingly well done video. I very much enjoyed it.

[@SAPProd]

Michael Myers posing Laurie’s friends like it’s a haunted house Halloween prank is what makes this the best film. No nonsensical familial connection, no curse, no ghost moms with white horses. Michael Myers is just a fucked up individual with no sense of right and wrong who is stalking and scaring a random girl simply because she came by his old house at the wrong time. This moment has never been topped in the franchise.

[@racewiththefalcons1]

Halloween actually does have a theme/meaning to it - John carpenter said so himself that it's about Laurie's sexual frustration, how everyone else is having fun but her, and that every weapon Myers torments her with is essentially a long, hard shaft - sewing needle, coat hanger, and knife. Two other points: he actually has a wrench in his hand when he smashes the car window, and the reason he wears a sheet with Bob's glasses over it and stages the dead teens like a funhouse scenario is because his behavior as an adult is childlike. The way he tilts his head to look at Bob, hides in the back seat before killing Annie like a child would hide, ripping down the potted plant to mess with her beforehand. Michael is supposed to be childlike, perhaps related to Laurie's personal struggle with maturing, asking a guy to the dance, having sex, and all things young adults do when they are not longer children.

When I was a kid, I actually saw part two before I saw the original. I was nine years old at the time, and no movie before or since has scared me like Halloween 2! At the time, I felt that Michael Myers could literally be anywhere and that's what really scared the shit out of me! He could be at school, the grocery store, your home, church, it didn't matter!

PHENOMENAL first ep of this series!It made me realize I gotta go back and watch Halloween 2 because I had pretty much forgotten everything that takes place in it.Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on Season of the Witch.

[@616Entertainment]

Dude do it!

[@brandonpate9258]

I love Halloween, The Holliday and The movie. Michael Myers is by far The greatest horror movie villain by far, as big of fan I am of The movie Halloween it’s weird I never dressed up as Michael Myers, I always dressed up as Gene Simmons or a vampire, great tribute bud.

[@joeyjojo5986]

glad to see someone stand up for halloween II. most people think it's cool to diss on the movie, but like you said, as a double feature it's rock solid entertainment.

[@616Entertainment]

Yea, I love II.

[@pureo_nikku]

absolutely loved the background music choices. you as michael "the shape" is just classic, for that everyone should be let in on your perspective. can't wait to hear more facts and stories as we go on!

[@616Entertainment]

Thank you for watching and noticing the music. =)

im with you man. one and two are just perfect. my childhood. from 9th grade till today i was michael for halloween !!! because of these two

[@616Entertainment]

Excellent, excellent.

[@chlobug52]

Finally someone mentions that in part 2 he was shot 7 times but in part 1 he was shot 6 times. I noticed this decades ago but no one talks about it. I have watched tons on Halloween commentary videos and this is the first one I have come across to mention this. THANK YOU LOL!

[@616Entertainment]

It has always driven me nuts, hahahaha

[@vincentmoran4821]

Awesome video - I love it when you guys do 'history of' stuff, I'm sure it's super time-intensive but more please! Great work

[@616Entertainment]

It’s just me, one man crew. So thank you!

[@vincentmoran4821]

@@616Entertainment wow! Take a bow, production is smooth, tonnes of stuff I had no clue about and most of all it's fun to watch. I ran through the MK and RE series, two of the best video game documentaries I've seen. You got a fan here

[@616Entertainment]

@@vincentmoran4821 Highly appreciated, thank you very much. I try to do super extensive research, not only on websites, but straight up buying books on the subject and reading them, watching the movies while taking crazy notes, listening to all the commentary tracks, etc. It's so, so, so time consuming and a tremendous amount of work. But this is what I love to do.

[@campires7151]

Thoroughly enjoyed this. Thanks a bunch from Sydney, Australia! :)

[@616Entertainment]

Thanks for watching! This is only Part I, there are many more!

[@SparkyMarkyMark23]

For Halloween II I first saw it on The AMC Channel but it had the tv-version back when I was in 5TH Grade, then saw it on The Sci-Fi channel back when I was in middle school days, still love it till this day.

[@ebesonen]

I just want to say thanks, for your documentary on Halloween 1&2 and all the hidden facts about both movies, you did a nice job Ian ✌️

Thanks brudda.

Never thought I'd see this channel do a series of this for these movies, but I'm very pleasantly surprised.

Haddonfield rocks! Great review! 🎃 Halloween 1&2 are my favorite movies of all time! Never gets old. I have seen them too many times to count and still get a chill upon hearing the classic theme song.🎃 My muse.

[@616Entertainment]

Dude yeeeesssss.

[@MackManning27]

Love this channel and keep up the retrospective. Michael Myers is my favorite slasher of all time!

[@616Entertainment]

They're all on the way, stick around. =)

[@rubene3940]

Hey great video, I really enjoyed it. Your opinions are exactly mine as well. It was eerie to hear, as I felt I was listening to myself. From Halloween 2 being as great as the original. To watching F13 part 3 on Halloween to the glass in the kids mouth before realizing it was a razor blade. Very awesome dude. I’m looking forward to part 2 and 3.

[@DarkKent234]

Very cool video! Your Mortal Kombat project was awesome so I'm looking forward to this whole series! 🙌

I decorated last night that’s what brought me here

[@radiocityyo]

Amazing video man! A lot resonates with me on this one too! I agree, 1&2 are a package deal! Also, loved the photos of you as Michael as a kid, I did the same! It reminded me of you previously saying on your RE videos you and your friends would make up your own games, the pool was the sewer etc! We did that with Halloween, I was Myers and by the end we had the whole fucking street playing! Good times man! Love the video!!

[@bonjovi7399]

Very good breakdowns, very good points. Ive seen the 80s horrors multiple times, especially the big 3. Watched a ton of content talking about the 80s horrors where it all blends together with the same stories, talking points, the same point of views. Yet your video delivered insights ive never thought about or heard before. Very good job. Subscribed.

Dude I popped in for the premiere, but I had to go. I’ve been waiting over six months, I had to have my pizza ready and soda cold before I dived in to this one. Great stuff, I can’t wait for the next part.
