I do think it could have been fun to have some crossover between the regular main Halloween movies and what was going on in Season of The Witch

I loved it but didn’t get why people singled out the ending as being particularly amazing, at its core it’s basically a slightly different version of the The Strangers ending Chris James 2 fucked around with this message at 10:27 on Sep 7, 2023 |

Might have been here that I read it or a youtube video like RLM or soemthing that Halloween might have been meant to be an anthology but the first one was so popular they had to follow it up with another Michael movie. Then Season of the Witch has elements that easily tie together imo. As an anthology series with connective tissue where you get Michael and other people and things come together for a grand climax would have been neat.

I'm genuinely curious how that fan theory explains Halloween being a movie in the Halloween 3 universe.

Disseminating a movie called "Halloween" to the masses only increases the power of the yearly Samhain sacrifices. A force multiplier, if you will.

Shrecknet posted:Just rewatched Unfriended: Dark Web and other than the AJ actor, everyone in this movie gives the kind of understated preformance you don't usually get from the pro-ams usually populating the no-budget Found Footage flicks, although this is more correctly an epistolary film rather than true FF. Completely agreed.

Talk to Me was an impressive first feature, but a bit uneven, the whole jordan peele cryptic shtick didn't really work. The kids were so lovely, loved them.

Well, a little disappointing it's not with the 70s film grain, but it's early and I've been waiting for this since Machete went from faux trailer to full feature.

You dont even need the filmgrain effect just try and do more with a teaser than just a modern horror teaser.

what gets me is him shooting the trampoline scene like it’s the most iconic horror moment and just a super funny joke.

I actually think its about time we had a resurgence of slasher films. They were pretty much killed off by Scream in the 90s.

I thought Slashers, by the time Scream came out, were deader than dead because the flagship franchises had all been run into the ground. Nobody - no horror fan, casual movie goer or critic - took them seriously. That is until Scream was both massively brilliant and popular. Then we got I Know What You Did Last Summer, Urban Legends, and a bunch of others I don't really know but probably exist.

Yeah I don’t know how to justify the idea that slashers have been dead for 30 years. Besides the post Scream era we just had Terrifier - which was the 3rd of its series. And we got three new Halloweens. We got a new Kevin Williamson slasher even. There was a Winnie the Pooh slasher.

Scream obviously did kick off a slasher resurgence that lasted for a few years but then you could argue it's imitators killed slashers deader than Freddy or Jason ever did. Plus you could argue that the meta aspect of Scream was not necessarily great for slashers in the long term. After Scream it seemed like every slasher had to wink at the audience and make meta jokes about the genre, straightforward slashers were considered quaint and outdated. But also yes there's been another resurgence in recent years so it's not like slashers are dead currently. The new Halloween trilogy and the new Screams have brought slashers back at least somewhat.

That face scene that gives me a Jason X face-freeze kill homage vibe already has me more interested than I've ever been in an Eli Roth film post-Cabin Fever. Definitely thought I was done with him for good after Green Inferno but okay, I'm in

Similar to how Cabin in the Woods discourse goes to being about horror movies in general being in decline or something when the simple read of "these tropes are fun and/or weird, let's mash em together in an meta entertaining way."

Going from the Slasher Glut of the 80s, then you could argue the slasher subgenre was dead. However, the Horror genre's very responsive to audience tastes compared to movies in general. Whether it's from having a specific audience or on average horror's quicker to make, who knows? When slashers were starting to get tired, the general shift went to whatever subgenre was next. Slasher films still happened, but nowhere near as much as during the Glut until Scream turned the interest back.
