Half in the Bag: Halloween Kills

After learning that their secret camera of Mr. Plinkett is no longer working, Mike and Jay arrive at his house to get those sweet sweet anti-bodies. However, instead of continuing this interesting plot line, Mike and Jay decide to talk about Halloween Kills - a film that's much more realistic and fascinating. It is that spooky, scary and most evil time of the year: October through June! What do Mike and Jay think of this newest Halloween installment? Oh come on, you know...

This would probably never happen, but it’d be interesting to see a Halloween movie where Michael’s barely ever seen in it. It’d have everything else. Bodies are found. Rabble rousers are screaming he’s still out there as mobs get raised. The first responders practically drown with the amount of calls and reports they get about bodies found or people in trouble. But he’s rarely ever spotted, which really plays up the fear and suspense that made the first Halloween movie so tense. I guess I just unintentionally described every serial killer/police procedural out there, but still. I think that’d be a fun different take on it. Instead of turning Michael into a self-parody comic book supervillain.

[@jimkocherful]

The original movie didn't show much of him (at least as an adult) right away at all. For his early appearances he is shown from far away, or in profile in a vehicle, or behind flapping sheets, or behind a fogged car window You don't see him close up or clearly until almost the very end. That makes him much scarier, a true Boogeyman. In the new movie he fills the frame and is in sharp focus when exiting the house at the beginning, and is witnessed by multiple people while going on a huge murderous rampage. There is no mystery to that, no suspense. They should have shown a wide shot of the burning house and firefighters, and what you aren't sure might be Michael's figure skulking away from the house. Maybe they catch a blurry image on a surveillance camera, but don't notice it until later. Don't let the town know that he has survived right away. Let some time pass before people realize that the homicidal maniac didn't really die and is after them, and then they start finding bodies. This movie had no buildup whatsoever.

[@chadhiggins7171]

Now that's a great idea! I'd like to see that too. Much more than this shit

[@gyroscope915]

I think it be great if bodies show up and the town panics and goes full mob justice and chaos breaks out in the town the way you mentioned. And then it was never Myers. But just a random killing. Because people get stabbed and die all the time. But all those people in the bar are so obsessed with something that happened four decades ago that they just assume it Myers coming back and the panic drives the town crazy when it was never even him. It was just like a drug deal or a mugging gone wrong and someone got stabbed or something. Just like playing on the idea of how what you build up in your head is way worse then the reality.

But I came in with low expectations and was Very pleasantly surprised at how unlike any other Halloween movie it was.

That was literally the most compelling thing about Halloween 2018, that Laurie remarks to the (eventually crazy) doctor that 'he's the new Loomis', when in actuality *she* is. She has an understanding of Michael and a preparedness that equals Loomis' in the original and that for years Michael has been singularly focused on Halloween night. They both sound crazy because of their dealing with Michael, but they know what he's capable of and are eventually vindicated. With this? The traumatised mob are just a bunch of idiots who manage to pursue a mentally ill man to his death. It's like the bunch in Halloween 4 who immediately take up guns and manage to kill an innocent guy before getting picked off one by one.

You know what would have been nice? If Laurie's character still felt protective over the now much older children she babysat all of those years ago, like she still feels that their well being is her responsibility. Heck, maybe if their mental health deteriorated over the years due to the trauma, she always made sure to be a shoulder to lean on for them. Perhaps they would actually form a strong relationship over time, bonding with each other after what Michael had done to them, and they continue to stay in touch, maybe they're more like her family than her actual family. I thought little Lindsay and little Tommy seemed to like each other enough, so maybe they become a couple later on, I don't know. And with how Laurie was being overprotective with her family, she could have been the same with Lindsay and Tommy, and they could have had a confrontation where they insist they aren't children that need to be looked after anymore, letting them mature, and then you have them protecting her by the end of it. You know, like an arc? But no, instead, let's have them barely look one another in the eye, and say at most 2 lines to each other and that's it. Much better. Thank you. 👏🤕
