HALLOWEEN: American Nightmare (Fan Film)

[@adamvestevich3706]

This was terrific! The best fan film that I have seen!

[@roderick2722]

How did I not find this years ago!!! That’s insane! This is so much better than most of the Halloween fan films out there. I think I’ve probably seen most of them already too! Great fan film!

[@Savi-digital]

I enjoyed this fan film, great acting by the guy who played Michael Myers! I’d love to see a part two… the other actors were good too. I recognized the iconic kill from Michael where he lifts up the victim, nice touch with that scene!

[@hallowpunky]

An absolutely wonderful modern reimagining of John Carpenter's Halloween, and the myth-like qualities of Michael Myers. Still holds up today and I'm glad you kept at making this fan film a reality because it most definitely paid off, Good work!

[@kathydemartino362]

One of the best I've seen so far

[@mdkittleson33]

Your song choice and arrangement was next level. Love the choice of that creepy ass song from “paranormal nightmare”. The “real” Michael look is spot on too. Great job!!!

[@TheZachariah]

Wow symboled on this. Top tier fan film guys. Love it! Want more! Cheers 🍻

[@karensmith4845]

Just came across this today. I AM QUITE IMPRESSED!

[@candacegraber3064]

I subscribed, this is my favorite fan film of Michael Myers. :)

[@jancramp8252]

The scenery, the actors, the writing, directing and the music. Love fan films much better with original ideas. This is so much better then the latest Halloween movies wrapped together. So creepy. It has everything like the original Halloween.

[@baddlucky1996]

how is this not viewed as much? it's really good.

[@mdkittleson33]

I think it’s the best fan film …with “Haddonfield nightmare” being a close second.

[@nowomennokids6734]

Nicely shot, lit, acting was really good...great job!

[@jdtfilms234]

I AM IN ABSOLUTE LOVE WITH THIS! Great ending

[@louissmith9327]

This was so much like the first Halloween...loved it

[@LucianSKane]

The best fan film I've seen so far felt like watching an actual movie

[@tteuscher]

I have watched a ton of these and this is at the top of the list. Awesome work!!

[@robertaller4776]

Bravo! A fan film worthy of the franchise! Beautifully filmed with solid acting and a great ending!

[@chrisrussin4734]

Best fan film yet by far loved it

[@adnauseamxi951]

WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL JOB!! This is a true homage to the original and your love of Michael Myers come through crystal clear. Congratulations!!

[@jennifersmith2277]

The best fan film I give it 5 stars

[@thefeatheredhag4279]

Great film, great music.... kudos! 😊

[@cementedineternity]

Wow! This was excellent! Great attention to detail and tone. No doubt this was a labor of love. Great job!

[@jennifergaskins1664]

Fantastic film!! This and Halloween the night he came back are the best Halloween fan films online right now. The drone shots were amazing and really added a sense of eeriness to it.

[@jessegraham2900]

that was a great halloween fan film. i hope you do another one. and if you do you should open it with the ending shot. also great actors. and nice mask.

[@rumblerodz13]

Great film.. with so many fan films out there ,this one was a pleasant surprise!. awesome camera work and story line was great. Can't forget the quality mask for this film as well.. some don't even have a mask that comes close to the "Creep" .. one of my favorites from Justin Mabry .. great job hope to see another in the future.. my son and his highschool buddies just made a short film on my KZbin channel from the Friday the 13th franchise..next is a Halloween one after he writes a script! hope their film comes out as good as this one!!

[@terrylawson7764]

Thanks! Just checked out their Friday the 13th. They did a great job.

[@ericdavis185]

best fan film I have seen by far.

[@alyssak1434]

Freaking Amazing!

[@terrellsimms1387]

Amazing!!!! please make more!!!! you should make one for an hour long

[@ericburr8592]

The best!

[@quashonahardesty6280]

This is by far the best Halloween fan film I've seen...the acting, plot, cinematography, MM character, was all on point...and it had the 80's feel to it because of your selection of a particular neighborhood that looks like streets of Haddonfield...but really done it is the great mask and music from the original Halloween. I was genuinely as scared as I was when I watched the original Halloween 30 years ago. Debra Hill would of been proud if she was here and watched this work of art as would John Carpenter! I am looking forward to seeing more of your work as you are very gifted! 👏👏👏👏👏

[@mikejohnston6851]

Great fan film man! I honestly really enjoyed this. That mask, the cinematography, story, music, atmosphere, and the acting by the guy that played Michael and the other actors were terrific!

[@chelseathomas5208]

I like film by mistake is good

[@dannyhollandjr7651]

like to say I'm a huge halloween fan and especially a Michael Myers fan. you did a real justice to the fan films. I hope you continue on entertaining all of us. I have just became a subscriber of yours and look forward to seeing more of your work n thanks brother.

[@jimmeciawade1079]

love it!! I love Halloween so much and you guys bring it to life

[@melissatodd4616]

That was awesome loved it

[@damienalexishammons2963]

Great film,I hope you make more.

[@kimberleycampbell9044]

Great film!!!!

[@Bobbywoodhogan]

It was really well made, Myers was creepy as hell and some of the shots were absolutely amazing. I do have some critiques though and I hope you won't find them too harsh. I didn't get some of the music choices, I found them jarring and they took me out of the film. The sound doesn't seem to quite sync up right when the actors speak and I found it hard to hear them sometimes (I was watching on surround sound too). But all in all a very well made film!

[@johnathondeaton7025]

Wow that was one of the best Halloween fan films I have seen in a long time. Dude you need to to a follow up to this one, because you did an amazing job on this one so why not make another one. You're receiving a lot of great feedback on this fantastic fan film, you made this movie so great it reminds me of how John carpenter would have made one.

[@azoreanprincesa8170]

Very good 10/10

[@shakeyshamosley8457]

Wow!! This was really f@#$%* good .i felt like i was at the movies..2 thumbs ☝..finally found a goid fan film Halloween movie...really enjoyed this one.at work 👀..

[@mackbenoit-hart8191]

Thank you for great film. I don't know if I am the biggest fan to the slight change to the original films with Laurie now being named Angie but other then that I loved it

[@carlgibbons5777]

What an awesome fan film! This was better than The Curse Of Michael Myers. lol My only complaint is the opening driving scene looks like a mountainous area. Doesn't look like the Midwest at all. What state was that shot in? Hmmmm.....great great job though. Very impressed. Recognized those drone shots right off bat. I think we need a sequel!!!

[@yvettemartinez42]

on a side note, Jack o Lantern in the room scene, that was super suspenseful, hell her walk up, was choreographed meticulously, kudos for keeping close to the original

[@anthonysopran4342]

Yvette Martinez Yes Mediculously lol

[@baddlucky1996]

Part 2 called Smith's Grove? because damn, I agree for your film not only being a rebooted Justice, but it ends like how a real person of rage comes back with such passion in Halloween.

[@B1Kobe0824]

Love this one! I think I like this one a little better than the The Night He Came Back Home which was good as well. The cinematography in both of these fan films were done very well. I wish I had the equipment and a good small cast to do one of these myself especially owning 7 movie quality authentic costumes. Speaking of which because of seeing other great fan vids but disappointed with the clash of seeing the actor walk in as the main character/protagonist with a mass produced costume mainly the mask. So like with this and the last fan video I had to skip to a scene showing Michael Myers to see if the costume was legit and authentic which both were. I especially like the mask in this video. It looks to be a Nightowl Creep but I could be mistaken.

[@terrylawson7764]

Thanks! Yeah, it's a Nightowl Creep.

[@mavendorf121]

flipping fantastic movie. hope you do a follow on from this one. really loved this.. and it made me jump 4 times no horror does that nowadays cept for this one

[@terrylawson7764]

Daniel Perry Awesome! Thanks.

[@proanimter1327]

wow in impressed with the mask amazing job I have too give 100 thumbs up ha

[@tjnyc]

really enjoyed it!

[@terrylawson7764]

Thank you!

[@catherineslocum6723]

I love this music

[@samanthahernandez3419]

Amazing Flim 👻👍🔪🎃 thanks for sharing 👏

[@catherineslocum6723]

I love that house

[@AzazelZaphorOmega]

Excellent! It was exquisitely shot. The acting was pretty good and the old house at the beginning (despite really NOT being Meyers' House-esque at all) was SUPER Creepy. Regarding this story, it's a tad muddled, but it works as a fun pastiche of halloween mythos...so good job there I suppose. I was amused that the girl's original name was "Laurie Myers" with her adopted name being "Angie" (As in Angel). That was a very clever reversal of Laurie Strode/Angel Myers (from Zombie's continuity) and a neat way to throw the audience off before the reveal. Good job and Happy Halloween!!! (FOUR MORE DAYS :D :D :D)

[@themyershouse1304]

Pretty nice.

[@aaronasmr8833]

This is movie theatre caliber !!! Omg

[@yvettemartinez42]

this is next to flawless, the only problem I have is the same I have with everybody's perception of Michael Myers. "He's evil incarnate", "boogeyman", "supernatural" , why couldn't he break down a door, that just last week my son barreled into and came off the frame, I love everything about this believe me, but one thing the RZ Halloweens did was portray Michaels almost Meta God Raw Power and Bruatality, 9.2/10.0

[@anthonysopran4342]

Yvette Martinez NOPE He's not Supernatural anymore..He's Mortal now

[@anthonysopran4342]

Yvette Martinez Same reason why and how does Michael get arrested and cuffed..He's supposed to be a Imortal Supernatural Force so how can they Arrest him in H5..?

[@anthonysopran4342]

Yvette Martinez RZ/H2 WAS SHIT

[@That_Chaplin_chap]

great work! :)

[@jaredwiggins4206]

After all the Mid-West Boogeyman did make Angies life a living hell !

[@jaredwiggins4206]

I especially enjoyed this film & hope 2 see a sequel 4 it so that way I can see what happens 2 poor Angie following the ending of this film!

[@candacegraber3064]

I really love this fan film. :) I have a question to Terry Lawson,, the actor that played Michael Myers in this,, I love the Michael Myers Mask,, can you please tell me what Michael Myers Mask he's wearing??

[@terrylawson7764]

CANDACE GRABER Thanks! It’s a Nightowl “Creep” made by Justin Mabry.

[@candacegraber3064]

@@terrylawson7764: you're very much welcome. :) the actor that played Michael Myers in this,, he's a great actor,, can you have him play Michael Myers again? can you make a Michael Myers: Halloween fan film this year and have him play Michael again? it seems like this could be a continuation.

[@koradejak6904]

cool vid great job

[@torontofreddy8688]

This is really awesome! But wasn't the Myers house in the same neighborhood in Haddonfield?

[@amywade4035]

was really good even scary at times, capturing the same mood and vibe of the first 2 halloweens but the extremely dumb choices that JLC made back in the day like turning her back to myers and never looking back at him to make sure he is in fact dead like any normal frightened person would do does not work anymore, could kinda get away with it back than n still was very frustrating to see, but now doing that it def brings the film down quite a bit for me

[@donniewhite5967]

Part 2 please?

[@jaydenharris1370]

i love how she says hes dead when she knows you can't kill th Boogeyman🎃🔪

[@darthsatanus]

1) just HOW did the Myers old house go from being in a residential area to an outlying rural area? makes as much sense as finding Michael's childhood home situated in a city of skyscrapers or in the Land of Oz! the KEY WORD here is CONTINUITY people. do your research beforehand! 2) such intriguing & complicated lyrics to the song sung by that live band, wowee. 3) great scene done well: [knock knock on the door] the girl slowly prys open the door and guess what? tis The Bogeyman, ha-ha! 4) Michael always finds his choice weapon in the kitchen, yassir. 5) first girl ends up walking ALONE on a deserted city street instead of trying to summon police help and proceeding to someplace a helluva safer than the streets. 6) the second (blonde) gal finds her boyfriend comically slain in her bed, tries going downstairs only to find Myers ascending the same and returns to her bedroom locking the door behind her. suddenly, The Shape's hand bursts through the door (DAMAGING IT) and enters but, amazingly enough, the door is UNdamaged! again, continuity, folks. 7) the third girlie is dispatched by Myers quite nice in keeping with his fab M.O. -- right from the back. 8) the second unit exterior and interior shots are done quite well showing where Michael is not! 9) DUMB: Angie Baby discovers her little friend laid out dead on her bed when Michael confronts her and she quickly gets in the first stab, but then DROPS the knife -- her only means of defense -- and, instead of rapidly escaping that death house, just hangs around weeping like a helpless femme.... while The Shape fastly revives behind her. way to go, Angie! 10) the blonde gal shows up (not quite dead YET!) and helps by stabbing Michael in the neck, and afterwards tells the dunderheaded intended main victim to call 911 -- GET HELP DUMMY, I'm bleeding out over here! 11) the ending scene is executed most formulaic as the hapless Angie Baby, apparently after phoning for the police, goes back into her bedroom to d-i-s-c-o-v-e-r.... that her Blonde friend is finally laying dead on the floor and The Shape has revived yet again only to disappear completely with 2nd unit exterior scenes added (as in the original 1978 Halloween movie) to make viewers wonder just where has dat ole Myers boy gone to? 12) in a twist to the already seen ending panned from John Carpenter's franchise film entry, the movie RESUMES with Little Miss Hapless Lassie confronting Michael again in her home and she is ready teddy to shoot up his gizzard with a handy revolver a-la-Ripley style, whoa! 13) query: there were NO adults apparently seen in this movie or even in the week-later epilogue. kinda makes one ask: where did all the parents and older folk go? maybe they all left town too scared to stay over for another H-A-L-O-W-E-E-N??? only The Boogens knows the answer to that one! 13) the music beds and soundtrack are all done with excellence keeping good track with the changing scenes and moods of the flick. good going, folks!

[@terrylawson7764]

I stopped reading after your number 1 because it's literally the stupidest criticism I could imagine. Do my research? Do you think I haven't seen the original to know the house was in a residential area? But to answer your question, this house was in a rural area because this is my movie. It isn't the original.

[@darthsatanus]

@@terrylawson7764 don't know what you have seen or not. gave you a fair-minded critic's point-of-view; however, based your negative attitude, i'd have to say A STUPID MOVIE gets "the stupidest criticism [you] could imagine." better stay out of Hollyweird if your little feelings get hurt so easily! so long, dude!

[@dannybelknap8926]

Good movie

[@amandaparks6487]

Love it. Creepy

[@AustinMitrione]

Quality is AMAZING. Literally could see this in the theater and wouldn't know it's a fan film. How much was your camera?? I've worked with Canons, my favorite one to use is the 6D but I have the t5 so I use that the most.

[@anthonysopran4342]

Austin Mitrione Expensive

[@catherineslocum6723]

It's awesome

[@jacoblawrence6580]

This was awesome! I have always loved horror films, especially Halloween. I love films of all types, especially ones from the 80's. I have always have wanted to make films but have never gotten around to starting. Do you know what camera would be best for me to start with? I have done a little research in the past few years and can'e decide between a canon dslr or a panasonic. I know the C100 would be a little too expensive right now. Thanks for any help you can give me!

[@ItisMeMike]

😃👍

[@mordaciousfilms]

Wow! I am stunned by the production value on this. Finally I've encountered two really great fan films with great cinematography and direction (and masks as well). Excellent job on this. Did you use any specific rigs / dolly systems for the tracking shots?

[@terrylawson7764]

Thanks! We just used the Osmo with the Inspire 1 x5R camera and a glide cam with the c-100. No dollies or anything.

[@mordaciousfilms]

Wow! I'll have to find some similar gear. As a filmmaker myself this blew me away. I have never seen such quality in a fan film...really seemed like a professional production. And the acting was excellent. Very nice interpretation of the film series.

[@mattyd1331]

Will there be a sequel? If so you should use the Halloween 2 hospital mask.

[@anthonysopran4342]

Matthew Davidson Hospital mask?No such thing

[@down4whateva665]

Any relation to Donna Lawson?

[@anthonysopran4342]

Terry do another one before October 19th

[@nonameyet9165]

"Sign has inverted nines." what seems like fantasy horror is actually real. I used to love the Misfits and Danzig. Venom and Slayer. I don't know if the demons came through by that or were there before. But the nightmare is real. Jesus is Lord, He is the only way to eternal life. Otherwise you are rejecting Him and choosing an eternity of demons and fire.

[@anthonysopran4342]

Good length..I hate the 15 mins ones..No point in doing those

[@anthonysopran4342]

Why would u drop the Damn knife Woman.? Damn it..Keep it on u ready to use..Jamie Lee did the same thing after stabbing Mikey
