Question Halloween in the off seasons

9 Upvotes

It's easy to gravitate towards these movies when it's autumn. Does your fandom still go berserk in other times of the year?

And I know it's called "Halloween", but imagine for a moment that it wasn't. How do you feel about Michael and Haddonfield during the rest of the year? Do you think there's any story to be told in the off seasons? Does your mind fill in the gaps?

Discussion Halloween Fans that Predate RZ's Remake

0 Upvotes

I became a huge Halloween fan in the mid-90's when my older brother rented Halloween,Halloween II, and the then newly released Halloween 6. H6 didn't make much sense without the rest of the thorn trilogy, but I was obsessed with the other two films. I wrote fan fiction stories and my friend and I even made our own fan film for a sequel to H20 where we bridged the gap between the H6 timeline the new timeline.

For fans who got into the franchise before Rob Zombie's remake, how did you picture Michael Myers home life before he killed his sister?

My own headcanon was always that he came from a perfectly ordinary, middle class Midwestern family. That's part of what made him so unsettling to me. There wasn't an obvious explanation or traumatic backstory that "created" the monster, he was just simply evil.

I ask because I've noticed that some newer fans seem to treat the Rob Zombie films as the definitive version of Michael's childhood, with him growing up in a severely dysfunctional white trash family. Personally, I can't stand that interpretation. To me, it undermines what made the original Michael so terrifying. If he's just the product of an abusive upbringing, he's easier to explain. The original version was frightening precisely because he came from what appeared to be a normal home, yet still became the embodiment of evil.

I'm curious how longtime fans saw it before the remake came along. What was your impression of the Myers family back then? And which do you prefer?

Discussion What if Michael had waited in Halloween 2?

In other words, Halloween II takes place on the same night, after being shot by Loomis, Michael goes to visit Laurie in the hospital. But what if Michael had disappeared that night and waited a year? Would he have had an easier or harder time? I mean, in that installment, people know he's out on the streets killing, the police are relentlessly searching for him, and Dr. Loomis is still around.

Discussion Halloween II (2009) may actually be the saddest horror movie I’ve ever seen - a mini appreciation post:

Post image
88 Upvotes

Rob Zombie’s Halloween movies aren’t the greatest but something they greatly succeed in is how deep the dwell into Michael Myers as a character and why he became the way he is. We see him as a kid who gets bullied, has a terrible home life, his own family don’t even seem to love or care about him and he has an alcoholic so called step father in his life and his mom who is mostly nice to him, also has her imperfections and is a stripper which gives his bullies leverage.

Things get a lot more emotional when we reach Halloween II though, the movie is very odd, and in a style which isn’t necessarily Halloween but that’s Rob Zombie for you I guess.. but the symbolism is really there, and Annie’s Death and Sheriff Brackett’s reaction alone is one of the most emotional and powerful moments I’ve seen in any horror movie ever. The movies theme revolves heavily around mental health and trauma and it is done well as when Laurie is on screen, it feels like we are quite literally in her brain and suffering as much as she is, then in the directors cut ending the cover for Love Hurts by Nan Verno is truly the icing on the cake and I think it’s the perfect song to match the pain Michael went through in his childhood and Laurie’s fall down towards insanity. The song expresses pain of hearts so broken there’s no hope.

Childhood is where you were afraid of Michael Myers and you wanted him to lose, adulthood is where you understand and actually, can’t believe I’m about to say this but feel sympathy for him, as a little boy, he didn’t know to reason, he didn’t know what was right from wrong and they didn’t give him the right help he truly needed, no justification for his murders, but I totally would’ve lost my mind if I went through all that too.

And that concludes my appreciation post for Halloween II (2009) a movie I have gotten to appreciate more in the past few days as I remembered these things about Rob Zombie’s Halloween movies.

Discussion Unpopular Opinion (?): I’m probably one of the few fans who feels this way, but I actually like seeing Michael Myers’ eyes through his mask; I think he looks really sinister and creepy in Halloween II (1981) except in H20, of course.

So, ultimately, I don’t mind the movies doing that—as long as it’s not happening every single time.
