And she shares a first name with Norman Bates' mother in this film. I never noticed that before.

[@ladyyuna2000]

Interesting facts about HALLOWEEN H20: (1998) (1) Even after 20 years, Jamie Lee Curtis said that seeing Michael Myers on set still scared her. (2) Jamie Lee Curtis considers the film a thank you note to her fans. Curtis: "Without that early career, I truly don't think I would have been an actor." (3) During the scene where Norma is leaving, she stands in front of the car from Psycho (1960). The music playing in the background at this part is also from Psycho. Janet Leigh, who plays Norma, played Marion in Psycho. The license plate on the car is also the same as the second car Marion buys in Psycho, NFB 418, which are Norman Bates' initials, and lastly, Norma is the first name of Norman Bates' Mother from Psycho. (4) In the scene where Janet Leigh's character speaks to Laurie, she asks if she can "offer some maternal advice." Laurie is played by Jamie Lee Curtis, Janet Leigh's daughter. (5) This is the third time Jamie Lee Curtis has worked with her mother, Janet Leigh, onscreen. They both appeared in the same episode of the television series 'The Love Boat' in 1978 and then in The Fog (1980), which was directed by original Halloween filmmaker John Carpenter.

Very touching to see them on screen together. H2O was weak on scares, partially because of a bad performance from the guy in the Myers suit. But what it did have was class.

You know she didn’t know who Norma was when she watched. I’m like WAIT YOU HAVENT SEEN PSYCHO HAVE YOU. It’s so fun to watch this for the first time again through you

I loved the Janet Leigh cameo. They pack so many references into those scenes. Not only is she an early scream queen, it's such a nice tribute to Halloween 78 which had so many Psycho references itself. I always heard Janet and JLC had a super close relationship in real life, so it always makes me happy when I see them in these scenes together.

[@TorreanoLamont]

I'm not sure if I read this too fast but also this is Janet Leigh's last film before she passed away.

[@jessemoore7081]

H20 handled Laurie's trauma better than the new Halloween in 2018. They went over the top in the new one.

[@christiandiaz8945]

Fun fact: Someone brought up a plot hole that in the scene where Molly and Sarah are watching Scream 2, you can probably assume that before that, they were watching Scream. And in Scream, you see Randy watching Halloween. Meaning Molly and Sarah were watching Randy watching a movie about their Head Mistress… which kind of creates a paradox 💀😂 ALSO: producers actually reused most of the music from Scream and Scream 2 because they wanted a more darker tone to the movie

[@MBG.426]

It was actually because the original score didn’t “fit” to them, and the test audiences liked the Scream music more, so about 75% of it is that with that other 25% being the original score.

[@DarthMacchio]

The cameo of Nurse Chambers in this one is SO much better than what we got in Halloween Kills.

[@EntertainmentFan11]

At least she survived longer in that one rather than dying in the opening.

[@mihnma]

As much as I enjoy the newer movies, if I could live in a world where Halloween, Halloween II, and H20 were the only ones to exist, I’d be so happy 1978 ended with Michael’s ominous breathing throughout Haddonfield; 1998 ended with Laurie’s triumphant breath of relief

For a good portion of the production of H20, 4-6 would still have taken place in the timeline. There would have been a scene where one of the students was reading out loud their essay on the history of U.S. locations, specifically Haddonfield. When class was over, Laurie would have ran into her bathroom and puked, as the essay mentioned Michael's other massacres and that Jaime has been killed.

[@DarthMacchio]

I remember watching H2O in the theater and waiting for Laurie to mention her daughter that was killed, even briefly. I know JLC specifically wanted to disassociate from those movies but it felt like such a a slap in the face to little Danielle Harris who gave those movies her all and whose character has her own fan base just like Laurie.

[@ashesbaby266]

A scene like that in this one would have been interesting.

[@heathergraham2581]

Yes, I read about that cut scene from the script. I still like H20 but I personally wish they would have kept the connection in, at least to pay homage to 4 and 5 even though I didn't care for 6. Danielle Harris, and her character, deserved the acknowledgement, in my opinion. I guess one of the issues for JLC was that she didn't think it would look favorably on her character (aka. Laurie) to have had a daughter left behind so it was best to leave it as a different timeline. I guess I can see the point but I also think there were ways to be creative about it without Laurie being portrayed as abandoning her daughter.

[@heathergraham2581]

@@DarthMacchio Me too, I was waiting for the mention and acknowledgement as well. Actually, it wasn't until after I went online that I found out 4-6 wasn't considered a part of the H20 timeline. Up until a certain point it just felt like H20 was ignoring & not mentioning the 4-6 events rather than outright telling us they never happened. I suppose the neat thing about H20 is the viewer can still watch H20 and consider that 4-6 still happened if they want. Nothing really outright refutes it **shrugs** Although, had they kept 4-6 connected, it could have provided more of a backdrop to explain why Laurie was so so overprotective with John up until this point if she actually came across any news coverage relating to the events of 5 and Jamie's presumed death at the police station with Michael. I know the biggest hurdle for the writing would have been to explain why Jamie was separated from Laurie in the first place but maybe the automobile accident Laurie used to fake her death was a real one? Maybe she thought|was told her daughter died in it and later found out the truth after being in hiding and after the H5 events? I mean, H6 did introduce the cult idea, maybe they were planning to get their hands on Jamie for awhile and opportunity had knocked, lol. Just a random "what if" scenario that can be thrown out there. 😄

Part 6 was the first Halloween I was old enough to see in theatre, and easily my least favourite of the franchise (at that point..), so when I saw the trailer for H20 and saw Jamie Lee coming back? wow.... I went opening weekend and it was amazing fun. It's very much of the Scream era, which felt refreshing but also paying such homage to the OG. I LOVED Nancy Stephens coming back as Loomis' nurse Marion Chambers. I was glad you picked up on her being the same nurse that told Loomis that Michael was Laurie's brother. She was also the nurse in the original that got attacked in the car when Michael escaped from Smiths Grove at the beginning. The Janet Leah cameo was fantastic. When they cut to her with her car (from Psycho) the background score changes to play a few notes from the music that played when she was driving to the Bates motel. This is my favourite Laurie, btw... She was so damaged and hurting (loved that scene with the glass of wine in the restaurant) so her grabbing that axe and screaming for Michael in that last act, wow....she is amazing in that moment. So glad you enjoyed!!!

[@heathergraham2581]

I find the portrayal of her trauma all these years later very realistic (unlike 2018 Laurie who I think was a little overdone - but still decent). But she is so badass and has that final girl fight that we love to see. The ending was *chefs kiss* Until they ruin everything in Resurrection...but I'll let you come to your own conclusions about thst steaming pile of garbage lol

THE QUEEN HAS GRACED US WITH HER PRESENCE AGAIN AND WITH A BANGER❤️❤️❤️

[@LurkingInTheBasement]

Fun fact: This is the 2nd movie that Jamie Lee and her mom did together *after John Carpenter's The Fog*

[@packedentertainment2866]

This is my favorite Halloween movie. This movie I’ve watched the most out of all the others in the franchise which says a lot since I’ve watched them all like a billion times (except a few I’ve only watched a few times like 3, curse, 2007 reboot & 2009 sequel, oh & Halloween kills)

[@IsabellePaige0620]

Yay, this & Chucky are my favorite series you’re watching. 💙💙 Happy to hear you’re feeling better. ☺️

[@Marcus616]

Yay!!! I’ve been waiting for your reaction to H20. For me, this is the true finale (the way the audience went wild in the theaters when Laurie chopped Michael’s head off is etched in my memory). I know you’re probably going to react to Resurrection, but that movie doesn’t exist for me (I’ll still watch your video of course). My favorite timeline is Halloween, Halloween II, and Halloween: H20 (no Resurrection).

[@Gakusangi]

This movie is my final Halloween movie. I don't count anything that comes after this. THIS is the end of Halloween, a great closing chapter to the series.

[@erauprcwa]

Mine too

[@heathergraham2581]

Yes, this should have concluded the series.

[@KNK2116]

Incredible reaction to an incredible movie, imo lol. I’m glad you enjoyed this as much as I do!! Fun facts that I know will be/are repeated lol: - Norma is Janet Leigh (Jaimie’s Mama ☺️) who also played in Psycho, driving the same exact car too! - They played Scream 2 as a way to honor Scream the way they honored Halloween in that movie & by playing it on the TV as well. When I think of the others, I’ll post them if I don’t see them in the comments lol

[@MultiGreenG]

so happy you are doing the whole Halloween series. 🎃

[@deontaeb.]

I’m so glad you did a reaction on this. This was my favorite Halloween movie of all time. I was so happy that my boy LL survived 👌🏾😎✊🏾

[@wand3ll]

It was Alanda saying Joseph don't mess up your pretty face then minutes later his character has a hockey shoe through his face that made me lmao!

[@lex12232]

BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ALL WEEK

[@keishie23]

Soooo glad you’re feeling better!!! This reaction was everything!! We need you in these Halloween streets. ❤️ 👍🏿 🛩 🪓

[@GraceNoel2222]

Yay!!!! Another Halloween video!!! Can’t wait!! So excited to see you back Alanda! 💕💕🎃🍂

[@futuredeadcamper1736]

A little fun fact, the table hiding and flipping scene was originally going to be used in Halloween 4 with little Jamie

[@matthintz9468]

Although H20 isn't my favorite Halloween movie, it is in the top tier. Anything with Jamie Lee Curtis is always worth a look. As for Laurie Strode, H20 is my favorite performance by Curtis in the role. In Halloween and Halloween II (the orignals) she was excellent, but by no means the only actress who could have pulled off the normal, every day teenage girl. In H20, Curtis took a character that could have just been a simple one-off for one, maybe two slasher flicks and found serious growth, depth, trauma, and humanity in her. My biggest problem with the new Halloween films is that Laurie has lost much of that, and instead feels like a rehash of Sarah Connor or what they've done with Rambo. Now because the movies are well done (the second is a bit weak), and because Jamie Lee Curtis is awesome, they're still fun to watch, but H20's Laurie Strode feels authentically in the spirit of the original version. By the way, the scene in the dining room is one of my favorites, and it was originally intended for Halloween 4 with Jamie Lloyd in the school cafeteria, but was never filmed. I'm glad they dusted it off and used it in this film.

"Jimmy got soul. Jimmy got, Jimmy got, Jimmy got soul ‼️" 🤣🤣💕

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

I’ve always liked this one. I see people talk crap on it, but I’ve always found it to be very creepy. There are a couple things I wouldn’t mind seeing changed, but overall it’s a solid Halloween movie. I’m also glad you’re feeling better. Food poisoning is no joke!

[@judaihyuga]

Ignoring everything after the second movie was the right call and the conflict between Laurie and Michael is done so well. We've seen Laurie fight back, but it was always when she was cornered. This is the first time she goes after Michael looking for a fight, and I love it.

[@LA_HA]

@@judaihyuga And, people always forget that she's not in a house situation, so she can't just drive away with her son and his girlfriend. She's at a boarding school and there are still kids on campus who didn't go on the Yosemite trip. If she leaves, it's not like Myers is going to be like, "Oh, well. She's gone. Guess I'll just grab a couple sandwiches and hit the road back to Haddonfield." No. He's going to start carving his way through the rest of those unsuspecting students just to give Laurie Strode something to think about for the inevitable Next Time. Can she live with abandoning those kids? She's always been The Ultimate Babysitter. Protect and Serve is in her bones. She Had to stay and face him. The night is long and full of The Shape

[@Tashwampa]

A fabulous reaction as always. This movie is full of great cameos and appearances but the best is by "Norma" played by Janet Leigh aka Marion Crane from Psycho, aka Jamie Lee Curtis's own mother. Sometimes nepotism is good because hello Jamie IS a legend. I Love this movie so much and it would've been a great final chapter. I enjoyed the most recent remakes but this one has a special place in my heart

[@BruceThawn83]

I loved seeing her and her mother on screen again with the classic vehicle in the background

[@johnmoreland6089]

@@BruceThawn83 And a bit of the Psycho theme playing on the soundtrack. ❤️

[@egglady]

So glad you enjoyed H20! I think it’s one of the best in the series after the first three! (Yes I said the first three, because Halloween 3 rules.) I saw H20 in the theater when it came out and the audience reaction to the ending was electrifying!

[@codyrobinson1794]

I love that we get to act alongside her mom in this film

[@elttil]

that shot of Laurie being face-to-face with Michael through the door window is so iconic. lmao

[@samuelmouly6017]

I love how she asks the kids to go to the Beckers, knowing the parent of Casey Becker in Scream 1996 went to the Mackenzies, an hommage of the same line from Haloween 1978

[@tparkerevans7165]

Love Halloween H20 so much. It’s my 2nd favorite sequel. Yes, that’s the same mansion from Scream 3. Also, if you think this Laurie is damaged wait till future installments. Next is Resurrection and honestly it’s better to watch it as a parody to make it almost bearable. As for Nope, it’s my favorite out of the three Jordan Peele films

[@rockybalboa1653]

Nurse Marion wasn't only the nurse who was with Dr. Loomis in Halloween 2....but she was also the nurse driving Loomis at the beginning of the 1st Halloween...that's why in H2 Loomis said "Oh, I didnt recognize you" cuz she wasnt wearing her nurse uniform from H1.

[@michaelpoore8368]

I watched this one in the theater opening weekend in 1998. I couldn't wait until this came out.

[@JnEricsonx]

I cheered in the audience at the end.

[@christophercruz6708]

Fun fact: her secretary was played by her mother Janet Leigh who starred in Psycho back in the 60s. And the blue car she drives off in is the exact same car she drove in Psycho

[@radlee974]

Yesssssss!!! I just hit “play” but I just _know_ that you’re really gonna enjoy this one!! Also, WELCOME BACK!! We’ve all missed your gorgeous, smiling face, incredibly sharp wit, and beautiful personality in general!! (You radiate such an amazing light/energy!!) Also, I’m SO glad that you’re feeling so much better!!!

[@ShadowhousePictures]

Fun fact: when Laurie told his son and his girlfriend to drive down to the Beckers, that was an easter egg reference to the first Scream movie.
