  When I was younger I literally believed both Halloween and Halloween 2 had been shot at the exact same time. I thought the original idea was to release a 3-hour movie but that they cut it in half at the last minute lol

  The argument could be made that Michael drove Loomis crazy. Much like Moby-Dick essentially drove Ahab mad.

  I&apos;d just like to point out, that &quot;hot tub&quot; scene in Halloween 2, isn&apos;t that there&apos;s a hottub in the break area of the hospital, it&apos;s actually used for Physical and Physio therapy, and is a legit tool in the medical field.<br><br>I just felt this was a good thing to clear up, also, congrats on 1k views on this vid.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSJzyVBNJ2c&amp;t=1178">19:38</a> To be fair since Loomis had known Michael since 1963 he&apos;d been dealing with him for 26 years by the time of 5. That&apos;d drive anyone crazy.

  &quot;Halloween 2&quot; becomes really effectiv when you watch it the day before you have a shift at the hospital where you are all alone for 8-9 hours. <br><br>Needless to say I still don&apos;t know WHY I thought it was a good idea to watch it but work was REALLY interesting the next day. Almost every single small noise made me jump and I was a paranoid mess at the end of my shift. There were also no patients because I worked in a more secluded part of the hospital in a laboratory. <br><br>Did I also mention that Michael Myers is the only horror movie monster that really scares me to this day? Yeah...not a good combo and certainly not one of my best ideas.

  Hey so you do know that michael gets shot half a dozen times in the FIRST movie too, falls 2 stories, and just gets up no problem.<br>He was always supernatural, and even carpenter acknowledged this.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSJzyVBNJ2c&amp;t=563">9:23</a> Exactly. Michael being a pure evil force who&apos;ll kill anyone, has no particular target, doesn&apos;t care who he kills as long as he kills someone and only his own death will stop him is better than the &quot;He only kills his family and people in the way of him killing them&quot; character he was retconned into from II to Resurrection. So I&apos;m glad the 2018 film brought Michael back to how he was in the original. Laurie being a random girl Michael saw drop a key off at the Myers house and him deciding to stalk and kill her and her friends for reasons known only to him is creepier than the &quot;She&apos;s his other sister and he wants to kill her because of that&quot; bullshit.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSJzyVBNJ2c&amp;t=1501">25:01</a> According to Jamie Lee Laurie in H20 was supposed to be more like she was in the 2018 film with her life completely ruined by what Michael did to her but the writer Kevin Williamson who also wrote Scream thought Laurie should have more to lose which is probably why the John Tate son character was created and why Laurie became a private school headmistress.

  Loomis is easily one of my favorite horror movie characters ever. He does get crazier through the films but it makes sense. He is obsessed with Myers and lets him take over his life. I love how crazy he is.

  Honestly i greatly enjoyed 4 &amp; 5 mostly because of the little girl. Her acting was on point and i was rooting for her throughout.

  Are we ever going to get anymore franchise retrospectives? There’s still so many. Scream. Saw. Of course, Elm Street and Friday. I just found this channel and thoroughly enjoyed the long commentary and examination of these franchises. This will be my third time watching this one.

  Thank you for pointing out the excellent lunch scene in H20, were Laurie/Keri drains her glass of wine, then reorders one, drinks it down to the previous ones level - all before her beau comes back from the bathroom. As someone who has struggled with alcoholism, this is a very meaningful and identifiable scene (and something I used to do at social occasions), and little scenes like that are what makes H20 shine, for me.
