Wow they just caught the original Night Stalker after 40 years and it's a damn ex-cop! Myers is next.

Anyway, first footage seen and it sounds impressive.

We Saw The First Halloween Footage, It Was Terrifying

he got caught because he posted about wanting a movie about himself on 4chan

I don’t know how I feel about this:

[FONT=&quot]Jamie Lee Curtis came out onstage to introduce the footage herself, explaining that she hopped onboard the project the moment she heard Green and McBride's pitch (she did not elaborate). She went on to promise everyone in attendance that the film would "scare the **** out of" them, and lemme tell ya: if the trailer we saw today is any indication, Jamie Lee Curtis did not lie - this **** was intense.

[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The trailer opens with a pair of researchers (?) entering an open-air courtyard in a mental institution. We quickly realize that they're there to see Michael Myers, who's positioned at the center of the courtyard. One of the two retrieves the famous Michael Myers mask from his bag and holds it out to the looming killer: "I've got something I think you'd like to see." The score intensifies over quick shots of the drooling, gibbering patients surrounding Myers and a barking guard dog, and then - boom, we're hearing that old familiar John Carpenter score.

[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Curtis' Laurie Strode is front and center in this footage. This is an older, meaner, wearier Laurie Strode than we've ever seen. Now living in a house out in the middle of nowhere (complete with a mannequin for target practice set up out back), Laurie seems to have spent the past four decades preparing for her next encounter with Michael Myers...and boy, does she look ready for it.

[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]It's impossible to recall the trailer beat for beat, but some of the highlights included: a scene wherein Myers tracks a woman to a bathroom stall, reaches one bloody hand over the door, and drops a handful of teeth on the ground; a quick dialogue exchange that casually reconfigures Halloween franchise mythology (you'll know it when it happens); shots of Myers stalking a neighborhood on Halloween, slashing his way through a number of houses, while Laurie screams at crowds of trick-r-treaters to get to safety.

[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]One particularly great moment was an exchange between Curtis and Will Patton's sheriff. Laurie tells the cop, "I've prayed every night that he'd escape." Sheriff: "Why on earth would you do that?" Laurie: "So I could kill him."

[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I confess to you that I may have cheered.

[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I cannot overstate how excellent this trailer was. Of course we're going to have to wait and see how the final film turns out, and of course your mileage may vary on the footage I saw today, but the crowd I saw this trailer with went absolutely bananas, and I think there's a good chance you will, too. I've got a good feeling about this one.[/FONT]

The horror/scifi horror category is just too broad to break it down into just 5 best movies anyways it’s a near impossible task.

I mean how could anyone ever pick one of these over the other you just can’t. It’s like they’re all just tied for 1st place lol

Exorcist, Jaws, Alien, Aliens, Predator 1, The Thing (both), Halloween 1, F13th 1, War of the Worlds, Forbidden Planet, American Werewolf in London, Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, The Omen, Texas Chainsaw Massacre 1, Nightmare on Elm Street and there are tons more!

I thought this was a sequel to Carpenter’s H2, but sounds like this is a sequel to H1 only and instead of becoming a PTSD alcoholic, Laurie’s gone Sarah Connor.

 

[jye4ever]

Yeah they announced a few months ago that Carpenter didn’t want his H2 canon.

So yes they are indeed going with a Sarah Connor style Laurie Strode and JLC can probably pull it off at an age appropriate level.

Man is this movie going to suck lol

 

[MaulFan]

It’ll be interesting to see what connection they make between Laurie and Michael, sister or not.

 

[jye4ever]

Before the internet age and 24/7 news cycle the boogeyman was really scary.

The boogeyman was our imagination running wild scared of the unknown threat hiding in the whistling wind or even in complete silence.

Fear of everything.

Now forget about it.

We are so saturated with 24/7 death that we can watch 20 elementary school kids get cut in half by military weapons and not even blink an eye, next.

Yup just like the OT the atmosphere from H1 will NEVER EVER again be duplicated, lightning in a bottle that was a product perfectly of its time.

It is literally impossible now to make a horror movie more horrific or scarier than the real life we see every day 24/7 on the news.

The boogeyman now is my cable company lol

 

[Johnny1378]

I thought his brutal murder off oscar winner Octavia Spencer was awesome lol

Lol. That was actually one of the better parts of the movie too! When it at first looked like it was going to be a remake of Halloween II I could at least follow the logic. That wouldn’t have been the most original approach to take, but I could have made sense out of what was going on. That part was also kind of scary. I was pissed when that ended up being a dream. After that we got an hour plus of Hillbilly beard Meyers and Sheri Moon Zombie walking around with a horse.

 

[jye4ever]

Yeah the movie requires some, lets say, patience lol

 

[Chakor]

Yeah the movie requires some, lets say, ibuprofen lol

Fixed.

 

[EVILFACE]

So Laurie Strode is now T2 Sarah Connor?

ugg.

Can't wait for all the "best sequel ever! Even better than the original! The ESB of Halloween movies!"
