MYERS : THE CURSE OF HADDONFIELD (a fan film by Chris .R. Notarile)

CHECK OUT OUR MERCH: www.redbubble.com/people/blin...
One year after the Halloween Massacre, 18 year old Laurie Strode finds herself still suffering from the trauma brought upon her by Michael Myers. Will she ever be able to move on? Or did Michael take something even more valuable than Laurie's life?

A WORD FROM CHRIS
This is the 4th and final chapter to my MYERS series. I never saw anything past just making a trilogy. But when I figured out a way to bring Laurie Strode into the story, I had to jump on it.
After listening to Jamie Lee Curtis discuss how she believes Laurie was treated after the events of 1978, and the amount of unchecked PTSD she suffered at the time, I felt that would make for a very interesting story. How the hell did Laurie go from sole survivor of an attack to (for lack of a better term) Sarah Connor? What set her on her path? When did she make the choice to train, become vigilant, and prepare for the day Michael Myers inevitably escapes? I wanted to see that.
But since this is set in the 2018 timeline, and there is LITERALLY 40 years of nothingness, I couldn't do anything that would interfere with the established continuity. This meant no escapes, no revenge stories, no visits to Smith's Grove. It was definitely a challenge.
I eventually settled on Laurie's nightmare because there is nothing scarier than your own subconscious. Plus it allowed me to do whatever I wanted. And since I am almost always operating on a limited budget, I was able to not have to worry about placing my story in more conventional locations like doctor's offices or hospitals.
More than anything, I wanted to film in South Pasadena for this short. It's about a 40 minute drive from where I live, and since this was my last chapter in the Myers series, I figured I pay homage to some famous locations. And since the original Myers house has been famously restored, and Laurie's father was trying to sell it in the original film, I felt opening up with the house looking brand new, and Laurie staring at it with utter discontent was very appropriate.
One thing I tragically underestimated was the amount of literal traffic running through South Pasadena. I assumed it was a relatively quiet town, but the second I pull out my camera, every car passing through decided to drive by. It was vexing to say the least. But traffic flow aside, it was really cool being able to shoot on location.

[@darthasheth1693]

Laurie's character is on point!!

[@QueerlyBeloved386]

Maren Hill came THROUGH with her performance here. She's great to watch - what a nice bookend to this series.

[@ThunderwolfOfficial]

Wow she plays a fantastic Lory 🙏🏻😄

[@kimberlyterasaki4843]

Damn, I love your dedication to getting the details just right; Using the OG Myers house, filming at the same locations as the original in general. I especially love your interpretation of Laurie Strode: though closer in age to 1978 version, she already has a bit of the hardness of the 2018 Laurie that we know will dominate her worldview. I like the building on Frank and Laurie's relationship, as that's something I wish the new movie had built-up a bit more, and how you feel the enormity of what Laurie lost that night when she talks about her friends; while it makes sense that after 40 years, that ache would dull a bit, but for a teenager one year later, the loss of three of her best friends still haunts her like the Boogeyman itself. Amazing foreshadowing with the dream sequence almost perfectly recreating a lot of the moves from the 2018 Michael vs Laurie fight and with the allusion to Frank's eventual fate. While only a dream sequence, it feels real to Laurie and you can almost see the realization the moment she picks up the gun in the dream that maybe, just maybe, she can kill evil herself. Also, getting to see Michael stalking Laurie (even in a dream sequence) set to "The Shape Stalks Allison" is amazing. Thank you so much for all of this and all of the great work you do.

[@blinky500]

Thank you! You hit the nail on the head.

[@philipg6579]

I liked the ending. It makes sense that Laurie would have had nightmares of being chased and killed by Michael over the 40 years.

Yes finally Laurie strode is coming.

[@rhenvao2844]

Sorry I couldn't make the premiere due to work, but once I saw this in my subscription feed, I watched it as soon as I got off. Hard to believe the Myers series has ended, and it fittingly concluded with Laurie, the person most affected by Michael. We've come from the evening of Michael's rampage, to Loomis' meeting with Sartain, to Laurie's trauma. It's quite a timeline that added a really intriguing spin on the new continuity. Even though Michael himself doesn't make a direct appearance this time around, instead portrayed as a nightmare is a great way to show that even with Michael himself locked up, his evil is ever reaching, and none feel it more than Laurie. Even if her dreams, she can't kill the boogeyman, which could have been a contributing factor to her strained relationship with her own family. And, of course, I was happy to see Hawkins again. Of course he felt some regret of leaving Michael alive, and having to talk to the person he traumatized the most can't be very cordial. It's hard to blame Laurie for feeling the way she does. Once again, you got a great crew together to produce a memorable series based on the franchise! It expands on the lore a little bit, plays out lines of dialogue into enjoyable shorts. You and the actors did a phenomenal job on this series and I can't wait to see what major project you take on next!

[@HatCreature]

I really liked this, Rob Zombie's H2 tried to do this same thing but it felt a bit extreme and exaggerated, to be honest, this felt more real. Sure the dialogue is a cookie cutter of every scene like this but this is Laurie Strode, I can really see this happening to her a lot. They might be doing flash blacks in the new movies but I feel the life of Laurie after that night has a lot of untapped drama and it's part of her story we've never seen. This was a good watch, everyone involved did a great job :)

[@iblazer7382]

Awesome work bro!!!!

[@Christopherianmatt]

All your Myers material could be cut together into a really good Part III to replace Season of the Witch. The last part shows how Laurie is still cursed by the memories and changes her name, faking her death. The doctor from the 2018 film feeding Michael people to kill makes good flashback material taking place before part I.

[@blinky500]

Totally.

[@Christopherianmatt]

In my “head canon,” since I enjoyed all the films (though I prefer some of the fan edits), I count all of them except for the Rob Zombi films in the same continuity. Inconsistencies in dialog can be dismissed because in real life, people rarely have all their facts straight. Ironically, fiction is the only place where people talking off the cuff is treated as gospel truth. For instance, in 2018, “Wasn’t your mom the killer’s sister?” “No, that was just a rumor.” Or is it? The problem with the theory is that it appears Laurie abandoned her daughter Jamie when she faked her death. To explain this, I would like to see an entry where Laurie leaves Jamie with her father or gives her for adoption under the impression that Michael was only after Laurie and though Jamie would be safer away from her. Part IV would prove this assumption false, which is why Laurie keeps her son in Part VII (H20) where she can keep an eye on him. Laurie survives her fall in part VIII, and it is unknown where her son goes, but she obviously has another daughter who appears in H2018. I couldn’t tempt you into writing and shooting enough material to tie it all together and have an (in)official Halloween III: The Evil of Michael Myers, could I? Lol

[@Christopherianmatt]

There are some other really great Halloween fan films out there too. Someone ought to figure out how they all can fit together and create an appropriate timeline and put them all together in order with the films. There would be between 20-30 films. I wish someone would edit the Rob Zombi films to make them sequels rather than remakes as well. Probably as easy as dubbing over dialog to change names and minor details, starting with the fanedits already in existence (such as the 2k7 Scary as hell edition and H2 likeable characters cut). Make that Loomis a relative of the first Loomis taking on the persona of Sam to make money. Donald Pleasence plays Samuel J. Loomis, and Malcom McDowall plays his cousin James Samuel Loomis. Let’s say they were in the same field and worked together on occasion, but Samuel was more popular because he was primary on the Myers case. When he died, his cousin began going by his middle name to sell more books. Money and popularity didn’t do his personality any favors. This characterization wouldn’t bother me as long as it wasn’t tarnishing a fan-favorite character.

[@sfighter0085]

Bravo Chris! Bravo. I was here for the premier, but of course my connection went nuts and went out. But in all seriousness, fantastic finale. Maren Hill started a little over the top, but as the short went on, her performance got better. Also cool to see Laurie still fighting back against Michael, and the twist at the end, with breathing like Michael was really chilling.

[@blinky500]

Thank you. We shot sequentially, so she definitely got more comfortable with the role over the course of the night.
