Top review. Suffering from a serious case of earlyseeitis. The movie geeks who saw this early have been overpraising this to the skies.
What i saw was an adequate revival with Jamie Lee doing her best with a totally unbelievable, over the top survivalist version of Laurie Strode, sequences taken whole cloth from the original and the myriad sequels, and strange moments of comedy that belonged in another movie and created weird tone issues. I might be alone in this but H20 was a far superior Laurie vs Michael rematch. FAQ 5. What happened to Allyson's boyfriend when she left the dance after their fight?
He just seem to disappear from the film. According to Wikipedia, this is a direct sequel to the film of the same name, was it necessary to give it the same name as the film if this movie is a direct sequel?
I mean what sequel gets the same name as the original? If this picks up right after the first original, it makes no sense. In the original, he hunts her down because she's related to him and he has to kill her. The reboot here states she is NOT related to him. So, why the heck is he hunting her down then? Details Edit.

For example, the somewhat heavy concept of connecting to the dead was replaced with the more lighthearted idea of telling the future. Bobbing for apples, for example, became popular as a fortune-telling game on All Hallows' Eve: Apples would be selected to represent all of a woman's suitors, and the guy—er, apple—she ended up biting into would supposedly represent her future husband.
In fact, Halloween previously posed a huge albeit rather superstitious matchmaking opportunity for young women in the 19th century. Another popular All Hallows' Eve ritual was mirror-gazing, as people hoped to catch a vision of their future by looking into the mirror. There are also reports of fortune-cookie-like favors being given out during earlier times. People wrote messages on pieces of paper in milk, and the notes were then folded and placed into walnut shells.
The shells would be heated over a fire, causing the milk to brown just enough for the message to mystically appear on the paper for the recipient. Many people were said to dress up as saints and recite songs or verses door to door. Children would also go door to door asking for "soul cakes," a treat similar to biscuits.
Technical note: Soul cakes originated as part of the All Souls' Day holiday on November 2 yep, a third holiday! The candy-grabbing concept also became mainstream in the U. As for the costumes, they evolved, too. While they began as earnest tributes to saints, that tradition likely fell out of favor at some point…until young Scottish and Irish pranksters got the idea to dress up in scary-looking garb again as a way to spook unsuspecting neighbors.
And just like that, thanks to these local hooligans, Halloween costumes became scary, spooky, funny, and creative all at the same time. Halloween obviously remains a popular holiday in America today, but it actually almost didn't make it across the Atlantic. The Puritans were disapproving of the holiday's pagan roots, so they didn't take part in the celebrations.
To the town, it was the house where a young boy once murdered his family, but it also held many other dark secrets. Carpenter also took influence from Celtic traditions when it came to the holiday of Halloween. He and Hill were intrigued by the festival of Samhain and the notion that darks souls are let out on Halloween and they wreak havoc on the living.
There was a belief that evil couldn't be stopped or killed. The lore perfectly described Michael Myers' actions and his almost superhuman characteristics.
If it wasn't for Carpenter's college trip in the '60s, who knows what Halloween and Michael Myers' legacy would have been. Kara Hedash is a features editor and writer for Screen Rant.
