Halloween H20 vs Halloween Ends

[@JGregory757]

Honestly I think I liked it better with Michael and Laurie being related because their fight scene in H20 felt personal lol

[@Austin53095]

Same it just made sense to me honestly . I like H2O better then ends we just got more micheal so it was more satisfying

[@molasorrosalom4846]

He was barely in H20 either.

[@youmadornahhh]

Definitely! & I feel like it’s weird for them to abandon the sibling plot but still act like Laurie and Micheal have so much history together.

[@maulok8441]

@@youmadornahhh They don't but do. They already said Michael doesn't care about Laurie but you can tell when he encounters her and they fight that there's an extra level of rage in his attacks. Laurie obviously cares about Michael because he's affected her life so much but it's shown he doesn't at all care about her. However, there is still history between them.

[@Jay_R_]

I hate that DGG's Halloween trilogy pretends that they aren't brother and sister. It makes so much more sense in that case when you compare it to '18-Kills-Ends. They definitely fucked up!

[@ep3578]

Gimme H20 all day every day. Better characters, love the plot. The mask situation is rough but. Also, a touch “Scream feeling” but I feel as tho it’s such a great solution to end the franchise or just that timeline

[@ShyheemOfTheDead]

Honestly Halloween H20 Went Down A More Realistic Ending That Made More Sense Compared To Ends So H20 Easily Wins This Debate For Me.

[@preshlock]

My Halloween trilogy is the original, II, and Twenty Years Later. I just started high school when HSO came out and remember really enjoying the movie.

[@ajbenton2174]

H20 is definitely better in my opinion with that being said please no more Jamie Lee Halloween movies🙏 7 is enough. As for the brother sister thing it makes alot more sense to have Michael vs Laurie when their related then when we're there not. They could do anything with Michael but they just made it Michael vs Laurie again

[@HauntedHippie]

As much as I don’t like them being siblings this is true

[@BeastieBoiseIdaho_RK]

At least no one involved with H20 was like: "Hey, the fans are really gonna hate this." And I'm still having a hard time understanding that situation. Why was no one at Blumhouse asking why the director and star are saying this? Seems like fans hating it would be the opposite of what you would want.

[@tparkerevans7165]

My Opinion: Writing: Tied (H20’s finally confronting your monster vs Ends’ overcoming your trauma and healing) Score: Ends Kills: Ends Direction: H20 Mask: Obviously Ends The Shape: Ends Laurie Strode: Ends Cinematography: Ends Opening: H20 Atmosphere: Ends The Final Fight: Tied (H20 feels more grand, epic, and long while Ends feels more personal, real, brutal, and has a more finality H20 has been getting a lot of hate lately. My negatives for it are the score and the constant change in masks but that’s it I love both but rewatching all 13 films this past Halloween, Ends is my 2nd favorite and H20 is my 4th favorite. H20 is a satisfying finale to the sibling timeline while Ends is a satisfying finale to the character of Laurie Strode.

[@darthtrip7188]

H20 for me, because of the nostalgic factor. 😁And it has the best showdown in this franchise.

[@electrofunk5442]

I have to be honest...I like Ends much better...H20 felt like a Hallmark movie. Too slick...

[@NomadFlow]

H20 makes sense as a finale after Halloween 1 and Halloween 2. It's also much more satisfying as an end story. Halloween Ends makes no sense as a finale after Halloween 1, 2018 and Kills. However, the film making and music are better in Ends than H20. One thing that always bothered me since 2018 and I never felt was actually explored enough to make work and is what I think doomed Halloween Ends is this: The Laurie from H20 went through far more than the Laurie from 2018 because in H20 Halloween 2 is canon. Yet, Laurie from H20 was able to make every effort possible to move on and was living a happy life until Michael went to find her. The Laurie from 2018 went through far less since Halloween 2 isn't canon. Yet 2018 Laurie could not move on. It's as if the two Lauries were in the wrong timelines. After thinking more about 2018, I thought there was a really great opportunity. What I felt was that by not making them siblings in the 2018 timeline and having it be that the only reason Michael ended up at Laurie's place in 2018 was because of that crazy doctor driving Michael there, that there was a really great opportunity to explore the psychology of 2018 Laurie being so traumatized that she invented this rivalry in her head with Michael that actually never existed from Michael's POV. That should've been the through-line of the whole trilogy that would've driven to the finale of Ends with Laurie having to come to terms with that. Instead, it's treated as something minor and not brought up again. Had David Gordan Green seen this great opportunity from the start then Ends would've been cohesive and the end truly satisfying. But he didn't see it and that's what allowed him to just go off the rails with the irrelevant Corey story line for the 3rd movie.

[@HauntedHippie]

Exactly. They were setting her up so well for a solid three movie arc

[@darkwitch8648]

I think what pissed off fans is that Corey wasn't introduced until Ends. They should've had Corey in Kills then it wouldn't have felt so out of left field.

[@DocSchupp1]

Haha she said "Oh its not Halloween, Did I ask ?" well done !

[@xipetotek8366]

I saw H20 in theaters and I’ve never been able to like it much

[@robk.6591]

I still laugh every time I see the kid Corey was babysitting bounce after he falls to his death. Yep. I'm going to Hell.

[@CBThompson83]

I'm currently leaning towards Halloween Ends. Though there are things that Halloween H20 has done better, I have to admit. Like how Michael was handled in the final act. One of the H20's greatest flaws has to go to recycling soundtracks from Scream (1996) and Scream 2. Nearly took me out of the movie each time I heard the tracks. I enjoyed the final battle in H20. Very impactful when she finally decides to stop running and face Michael Myers. I also was overall satisfied with the final battle in Halloween Ends, though I wanted slightly more than what we got. I recently noticed in the H20 battle, Michael barely was able to attack Laurie. Like only once when he cut her arm the same way he did in 1978. Throughout the rest of the fight, he's taking attacks left and right. I didn't fear for Laurie's life in that battle. But in Halloween Ends, Laurie came close to being killed and I feared for her life. Even in 2018, I feared for her life. I felt she was in real danger. Never understood why Michael's hands had no scars from the fire in Halloween 2. Halloween Ends has an even more ballsy conclusion. That's saying a lot because I always thought H20 had a ballsy ending...until it was 💩 on. Both movies I feel had deep flaws and I proudly like them both. I'm kinda glad not enough people appreciate Halloween Ends because I feel the hate will help keep this timeline laid to rest as intended. (Sorry for the super long Lord Of The Rings length comment. 😂) P.S You're so awesome!!!

[@HauntedHippie]

Haha I appreciate the lengthy comments! I love when you guys are passionate about this stuff and we get a good convo going because then I have a lot of insightful stuff to read!

[@CBThompson83]

Absolutely!!! I feel like I'm truthfully conversing with you like I do with one of my best friends when I share my thoughts on these movies. Also, the more I hear criticisms on how Corey was able to knock Michael on his ass, the more I believe Friday The 13th: The Final Chapter had similar criticisms on how Tommy was the one who put an end to Jason's bloodbath (Back when it was a brand new movie). At the time, I'm sure there were some people who hated that Jason was put down that way.

[@xtronvultron4811]

Halloween H2O is way better, better characters, story, ending fight battle between Michael and Laurie, Michael is actually in the movie more, Laurie depiction of trauma was done way better then Halloween 2018, but this is Just my opinion, H20 > Halloween ends any day

[@jimdiggs6959]

Your thoughts on Ends mirror my own. I'm still baffled this is the movie they decided to make and am convinced it's the result of a forced compromise. At some point in the process, I believe Green decided to end the Strode/Myers storyline in the second installment to free himself to make his part 3 in the spirit of the original part three. Instead, he was compelled to stretch the final showdown into the third entry alongside his very different storyline to satisfy varying interests.

[@anthonywheeler2082]

A new Kylie video just makes my day instantly better, so thanks for that!! And I was getting a bit burnt out near the end of October, but now I'm back into Halloween mode after the holiday "officially ended" haha. The timing of this video was perfect for me! I kept noticing homages throughput the new Halloween trilogy, but you crystalized that concept for me in a way I hadn't completely articulated to myself. I'm not a nostalgia person mostly, but I found a few of those fascinating what they referenced like the Season of the Witch masks. I feel like the Cory stuff while taking a cue from Jamie reminded me of Rob Zombie's take on child Michael too. The whole what makes him tick thing which I feel is unnecessary but Michael is such a simple character if you need a new way to extend a movie idea it makes an interesting challenge I guess. Reguardless of the outcome. Perhaps they took the same concept and just applied it to Cory. Like an homage that took on a life of it's own? I'm tired , and trying to make sense of Halloween Ends at the same time is weird but I'm trying! I hope my thoughts were clear even if I'm being overly wordy. And thanks for making videos that make you think. I try to do that in my own work, and you're a very good inspiration to do that well.

I put Resurrection ahead of Halloween Ends in my Re-Ranking lol. That's how much I dislike Ends. It might be ridiculous but it has more Michael sooo....there's that. As for H20, Laurie's story and trauma are done way better in H20 and I thought JLC delivered more. Great Video!

[@Timm1219]

Yes! Can't wait for the H281 vs RZH2! Also I'd recommend the novelization of Ends as it includes a lot of content about what occurred with MM, Laurie and Aly between Kills and Ends. It also at least TRIES to explain in greater detail Cory's motivations and what happened between him and MM...

[@HauntedHippie]

I knowww it does I just wish I didn’t have to read a book for a movie to make sense. It’s on my list though

[@Nothingman4life]

I have my issues with H20, but I definitely prefer it to Ends. The ending was great. Laurie chopping off Michael’s head, the classic Halloween theme playing, that final shot of a determined Laurie breathing heavily as she holds that axe…it was so good. That said, I’ve never warmed to Chris Durand’s take on Michael. “Clumsy” is a fine word for his performance. That scene where he does his version of the Michael Myers “sit-up” makes me laugh every time. Great work on the video. 🎃

Finally been waiting for this! You look amazing. Also gotta say I enjoy both movies but I think H20 is the better "final battle" movie but Halloween 2018 would be the ultimate final movie if it were a standalone in my opinion. Awesome video as always.

[@kylescomet6984]

Interesting take. I hated Ends when I first saw it but over the 2 weeks that followed I actually kinda started to love it. I definitely think that it doesn’t work as a finale of the trilogy or series overall and it should’ve taken place after Michaels death as a stand-alone spinoff of kind of exploring Michaels curse and legacy on the town of Haddonfield with Corey as the sole antagonist. But honestly Corey is the only thing about Ends that works for me and I really loved that character. But overall yeah H20 is probably the better movie. Just don’t like Michael in it and wish it had more of a fall atmosphere. Oh and more Josh Hartnett too

I uh, I actually really liked Ends, but I understand why a lot of people didn't like it. I personally think Corey should've killed Michael when he took the mask to enforce the theme of evil never dying and taking a new shape.

If they didn’t want Laurie to actually kill Michael in the end of H20, maybe they shouldn’t have him looking up at her when she called his name. Just sayin. 😂.

[@spiritdeezy9668]

I also find it hard to articulate how I feel about "Ends." Both of these films have charm, but I'd have to choose "Ends." I feel it took itself more seriously. Paul Brad Logan, who wrote the "Ends" novel, described the scene with Corey as, "Michael seeing the evil in Corey", and Corey basically giving in to "the evil." I'm paraphrasing, but that's pretty much how he said it. Messy, yes, but I liked it. Unfortunately, not as much as I had anticipated, but it was a good time watching. H20 has charm as well, but just felt like a cash grab.

[@kennethomg2511]

Sorry but there’s no competition 😅Halloween ends is more romantic with not enough Michael and a person called Cory h20 had the second best action Michael actually had Michael good characters and a lot more Halloween ends not so much

[@SPBASS]

I don't really have an opinion on which is better... I think both movies are somewhat flawed. Halloween 1978 comes across to me as basically timeless. H20 and Ends are both "contemporary" interpretations and suffer from that. Like if Halloween 78 or Halloween 2 (81) came on TV I'd probably watch them, if H20 or Ends came on TV, probably not. Come to think of it, could Ebert be on about a Psycho style shower scene? They had Marion Crane from Psycho and there would be a lot of showers in a boarding school. Missed totally out of place opportunity 😂😂😂.

[@ridroost3276]

Honestly, while watching Ends, I kept thinking to myself that it was really interesting that they went this specific route. I wasn't a huge fan of the dialogue and a lot of things didn't make sense. It doesn't fit into this trilogy they were building whatsoever but I have a feeling that the story they were trying to tell could have been a great separate movie. Showing how evil is formed and the transfer of power. I thought it was pretty interesting but it was bogged down by expectations for something else. I was expecting something completely different going into this movie. Definitely would have liked this take if it came out at a different time. They couldn't go all out with Corey because they had to include the end fight with Michael and Laurie. Again, I thought it was a really cool concept for the franchise but it just should not have been used as the ending to this trilogy.

[@popunderrated]

H20 just had better written scenes / dialogue, such as the scene in the restaurant where she orders a 2nd glass of Chardonnay. It’s brilliant. 1. The Laurie character is better written, acted and just makes more sense 2. The relationship with her son, John, is better written than with the daughter in 2018 (and the chemistry between Jamie Lee Curtis/Josh Hartnett is better than Jamie Lee Curtis/Judy Greer) - the scene in the kitchen with John and also when he's caught outside of the school and she yells at him is just so well written/acted. 3. The aforementioned scene in the restaurant, along with her nightmare scene at the start delicately gives us insight into her issues without feeling the need to ram it down our throats like in 2018. 4. You still have the brother/sister relationship between Michael and Laurie so it makes sense that she'd still feel that Michael was going to try and come after her/her son. Whereas in the 2018 movie there is no motive and no real reason why Laurie has feared Michael for 40 years or brought up her child to fear him. 5. Having Janet Leigh in the H20 movie and the interactions between her and Jamie Lee is brilliant. 6. I prefer what they did with the Marion Chambers character in H20. I thought her kill scene was done pretty well and I really enjoy that opening. 7. That final showdown between Laurie and Michael and THAT ending is just 10/10. The ending we get in 2018 is 'fine' but the fact we are meant to believe she had built a trap for Michael under her kitchen counter was just ridiculous and completely took me out of the 'grounded' approach they were aiming for with these new movies.

[@shanetheliver]

I really appreciate the amount of research that goes into your videos. The H20 ending is way more solid than the new trilogy’s, despite Michael Myers looking like a muppet.

[@envymyediting]

H20 nails the eerie feel of the original. The opening is a killer setup and throwback. ENDS is like a John Hughes movie. It's fine as a standalone movie. But even with its flaws H20 is a straight up legit Halloween film.

I'd give H20 the win way better cinematography, best ending in the older movies imo and generally more entertaining

[@amdusias2978]

This is hard for me because if Ends was more in line with H20 where Michael and Laurie were centric to the story, Ends would win by miles but H20 at least kept the story intact.

How they set it up in H:20 to show how Micheal found Laurie was him going to Nurse Marions house when he kills her and the 2 teens. They show her office or Dr Loomis room completely ransacked like a break in. It was stated that Loomis had moved in with her before he passed away and all his patient files were all over the place. Lauries file with all her info was empty. Pretty clever .....but like you say.....when did Mikey get so smart hahahaha. Great video and comparison!!

[@theashwoodfaerie2]

I know this was a year ago, but I had a massive opinion shift with these two movies. I joined the Halloween fandom when I was about 8 in 2007 when the original RZ movie came out. I watched the theatrical cut on DVD and enjoyed it. I then watched H20 and was thoroughly confused by the actor switch because at the time I had no idea that the original Halloween existed. Then I watched the original 2 movies and was fine with Michael being "killed" off cool. Low and behold ten years later a new Halloween movie is announced. I discover and watch 4-6 falling more deeply into the franchise and slowly leaning more towards the Michael Myers fan side of the fandom, pumped about the new film and throughly enjoying 2018 and Kills. The year between Kills and Ends oof. Hearing all of the production stories waiting for the release and in the back of my mind was, "they better not be killing Michael. They're probably going to kill him with JLC as exec producer 😮‍💨" It slowly becomes "I can forgive them for killing Michael IF Laurie goes down with him. It would give Allyson even more reason to leave Haddonfield." And then I saw the movie and the last 15 minutes pissed me off I was in tears I was so angry at this movie. A new character taking over? Michael barely used only to be killed??? I was livid. This movie sucks balls. DGG and JLC can rot for destroying Michael Myers

[@Chainsawhappy]

Really smart breakdown of these movies. In total agreement with what you said about the strengths and weaknesses. Also glad you pointed out how especially sloppy the editing was in ENDS. There were times that I heard Laurie's tone change completely while they stayed on a close-up of Corey and it just felt like instinctively they should have cut back to Laurie. Not to mention the fact that they should not have waited until the 3rd film to introduce him. As sterile as H20 was, at least the story made more sense. Despite the mask(s) being ridiculous. Maybe someone can deep fake the original Myers mask over Michael in H20, and replace the awful Creed soundtrack. That I would pay to see.

[@HauntedHippie]

The technology is definitely there to do that

[@spacemanspiralcatzero]

This video got you a sub lady. This is a great breakdown. Now I have to watch your Ends review.

[@davidranderson1]

I don't think the ups and downs of a movie's production necessarily says anything about its quality. Some classic movies had epically troubled productions. The Wizard of Oz had several directors and changed screenwriters 20 times. Casablanca was essentially made by committee with the directing and screenwriting roles shifting back and forth. Jaws was a movie about a mechanical shark that rarely worked. Perhaps the champ: Apocalypse Now was supposed to be filmed in 5 months, but took a year, during which a typhoon destroyed the sets, the lead actor had a heart attack and the director attempted suicide.

[@HauntedHippie]

It’s not always the cause of a bad film, a lot of horror movies like TCM were absolute hell to shoot. But I think it certainly doesn’t help

[@KnightOfNewColu]

I still preferred Halloween Ends. I can’t really explain why but it just felt right for me. To be fair as a recent Halloween fan, I like all the movies with the exception of the Zombie movies.

[@spiritdeezy9668]

Also, I do feel maybe there was some commentary in "Ends" on how fans obsese over killers, fictional characters as well, and how it does shape us. I felt it relevant, like with Dahmer. So many called for the role of Dahmer to not be romanticized, but when you cast Even Peters as Dahmer, it's already romanticized. No way around it.... Show was great, most missed the point. I would love to hear your take on "Natural Born Killers." While not excatly a "horror", or "slasher" film, I'd still find it interesting to hear your thoughts on it.

Halloween Ends could've been so epic if they had an actual plan for the new trilogy, if they introduced certain characters and themes earlier to build on later. Halloween Ends showed us how the town kind of creates its own boogeyman, and it would’ve been soooo dope if Ends actually expanded on that

[@Nova-fh2et]

Most trilogies don't have an overarching idea going in. Not sure why so many dingbats get that idea in their heads

[@Yeaster]

@@Nova-fh2et I wasn’t talking about other movies though. I was talking about this one 🙂

[@Nova-fh2et]

@@Yeaster so this movie is at fault for doing something every other trilogy does? Make it up as they go along?

Haven't seen Halloween Ends but by the sounds of it H20 is the best 👍🐾💜😊🤔

She's haunted and a hippie? Subscribed!

I think we were all just clowns. After how bad Kills was. We still somehow convinced ourself Ends would be better. Even though it took them 40 years to make a movie even close to as Enjoyable as the original; That being Halloween 2018.

New subbie here. Good stuff. Nicely in depth and learned some new things… Also those nails are fire. First time I saw nails styled like that. Props to you!

Thanks! Welcome to the channel!

Add me to that blunt rotation!

[@GeekMuscle]

the h20 fight is definitely better than the one in Ends

[@prymetyme2171]

I'm curious , How did you feel about Rob Zombies Halloween movies.

[@greasyguido]

That Ebert shower scene reference was so odd lol l. I'm going to assume he sensed a lot of grief from the characters and thought it warranted some f*cking t*ts.

[@retrostudios894]

Halloween H20 is miles better ends. Actually feels like a conclusion to the franchise while ends just wants to be its own movie and then rush a ending to Michael and Laurie’s character in the last 5 minutes of the film.

[@theshape3988]

It's crazy. This video showed up n my feed and I saw the name Haunted Hippie. I figured with that name it would be bad research and bad uninformed opinions. However I was waaaaaayyyy off and this was actually well done. Just subbed

Omfg I NEED Happy Death Day 3 so bad FR!!! I legit just watched HDD 2U this morning for like the 50th time lol and I still love it!

[@macabre19]

I think Halloween Ends as a standalone movie could work. As it is now, it definitely makes H20 look good.

[@matthewscorner2990]

So I dunno if you look at the comments of older videos, but I watched your Halloween vs Rob Zombie Halloween, Halloween 2 vs Rob Zombie Halloween 2, and Friday the 13th vs Michael Bay Friday the 13th and had some thoughts about them that I left comments for and I'm especially hoping to get your opinion on things I said in my comment on your Friday the 13th video. You seem well versed in horror and even filmmaking, so I feel your opinion would be great to have on the ideas I presented. Edit: Also, didn't realize your Halloween 2 video was literally just posted yesterday. I'm new to your channel.

Ends: sucked because Michael was a side character in his own film. Laurie narrating made me laugh because it felt like when she narrated Scream Queens season 2 episode 1. the ending was the only amazing part. also her daughter should of survived and her granddaughter should of died. Judy Greer gone in Ends left a void. h20: it was great. the battle was amazing. the name change, going into hiding, that dumb waiter leg slam made me sick in a good way I have a high tolerance for gore but DAMN. It had an awesome cast. and THAT shot of Michael and Laurie face to face in the window is iconic.

[@PUNKEYE1]

I personally enjoyed Halloween Ends because it was such a departure from a lot of the other Halloween movies. I like the feeling of the characters trying to move forward in that universe. The soundtrack is more akin to my taste but I do love the grunge of the halloweens of the 90s. I just enjoy all the Halloween movies but especially the ones that take real chances in unexpected ways.

[@kirkhensley5870]

You and Glenn Danzig are the only ones who pronounce it the right way.

[@JaydonTanner]

I loooooved Ends. Definitely my favorite of the new trilogy. Laurie sucked in the new ones though.

[@TheCleanRapper93]

Halloween H20 is more cohesive. The only thing that hurts the movie are the mask(s) and that the ending gets ruined by Resurrection. If Halloween Ends was a spin-off that took place after Michael died, it would be a great follow up and character study. As a Halloween movie, it doesn’t really work. As a movie in itself it’s good.

[@James_Smith862]

You've got a jodi lyn o'keefe vibe here. I dig it.

[@passagesstaffdayprogram7556]

i wish the scene in the original script of Halloween H20 where Laurie found out her daughter she gave up for adoption was killed by Michael when one of her students read a report about the history of Michael Myers not knowing she was reading about Laurie since she faked her death and changed her name was filmed
