J.T. Posted October 13, 2022 Author Share Posted October 13, 2022 My brother subscribes to Criterion. I will probably extort his login by threatening to change the logins to my Disney+ and Netflix accounts since those are the streaming services he leeches the most. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Connors is the one of the best werewolves ever. God damn! Thank you for posting these! I've been whining to my cousins about wanting to get copies of this for about two years now since we've been on a retro binge of 80s and 90s nostalgia. Finding stuff like the Legend of Zelda cartoon series, Captain N series, etc. And of all the goodies we've found on the tubes, we've never been able to find complete episodes for this even though we all loved this series as kids.

NoFistsJustFlips Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 So Halloween Ends was.... bad. Right? Like the opening 30 minutes is Lifetime TV movie of the week bad. Some good kills near the end but like... wow. That was not a good movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the Tomatometer for Halloween Ends is not looking good right now. I'll watch it on Peacock when it debuts just for the sake of closure.

Curt McGirt Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 I'm already roped into seeing Halloween Ends because my best friend is the biggest Halloween nut on the planet and I didn't see Kills with him. Something else I'm gonna see with him and his SO tonight is Nosferatu with LIVE PIPE ORGAN PLAYER. It's gonna be a mad dash to get out of work and across town but I'm not missing that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked my Shudder queue while I was firing up Speak No Evil and it is six episodes long. I might binge it sometime this weekend if I am feeling up to it. I still have at least one more night of graveyard duty over the weekend and that might end up turning into two. Edited October 14, 2022 by J.T.

I think they knew they had a stinker and wanted to mitigate fan frustration. Hard to be too mad if you're seeing it for free in your home like I did. But I was astonished at some of the choices they made for the story. It's not what I was expecting narrative wise for the conclusion of a trilogy focused on Laurie & Michael. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HumanChessgame Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Halloween Kills: This is stupid and nonsensical, especially the final act Halloween Ends: Hold my beer Spoiler This was like if the EMT in Friday the 13th Part 5 actually sought out Jason to become his protege combined with the whole eating Jason's heart gimmick from Part 9. The new killer was a mix of that and Arnie Cunningham from Christine turning into a new person after getting possessed or whatever. I don't know what was stupider, the weird kid takes over as The Shape and inherits his powers (that once again are never even explained), Myers not even being in it, or the town funeral at the end, which could very easily have just been done in that scene in the last movie where half the town has Myers at their mercy. I don't know if this and Kills were as bad as the two Rob Zombie movies, but holy shit were they not good at all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVA Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 I don’t know that ENDS fully works, but I love that they tried something different rather than going through the same old motions. It’s worth remembering that SEASON OF THE WITCH was rejected by critics and audiences on its initial release, despite now being widely beloved for its strangeness. I see a similar fate for ENDS—it’s not what most people wanted from HALLOWEEN right now, but once we get some distance, people are going to start appreciating it for what it actually is. The opening scene alone is a GOAT slasher opening scene. So glad I didn’t have that one spoiled for me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m inclined to agree with that without having watched Ends yet just based on the response so far and the way Curse of Michael Myers and Zombie’s Halloween II have both aged into cult classic territory.

Travis Sheldon Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 I figured I needed to get Halloween Ends out of the way, because I hate avoiding spoilers. Spoiler I did not expect an opening scene with a child death, a fairly graphic one as well. Think my wife fell hard for every jump scare, as she was screaming early. Corey becoming a partner to Michael was odd. Although, I did enjoy the tag-team kills. I didn't really vibe with Allyson and Corey as a couple. At one point I thought that Allyson was going to try to get revenge on Laurie for Corey's death. The film was saved, for me, due to the final chapter. The fight between Laurie and Michael was a nice touch. Leaving Michael in pieces was a nice last act for this series' epoch. Lots of Easter eggs or at least spots where the fans could mark out over knitting needles and such. I give it one chef's knife up.

J.T. Posted October 16, 2022 Author Share Posted October 16, 2022 I am old and dumb. It has taken me this long to figure out that the segment, Lover's Vow, from the movie, Tales from the Darkside: The Movie, is really an adaptation of The Woman of the Snow from Kwaidan only with gargoyles and a grislier fate for the father. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(BP) Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 It’s kind of like The Girl with the Green Ribbon as well. That’s one of my favorite individual horror anthology entries in any movie or show. I just caught it at the right age to stick with me forever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
