I have watched this entire series since the 80’s. As a fan watching the remake’s Halloween (2018), Halloween Kills, and Halloween Ends were disappointing. I get Halloween 3 was just a confusing and ridiculously dumb attempt to keep the series going and 6 was beyond crazy but the others were part of the story. It explains why Laurie is terrified and obsessive about him coming after her. It also shows he’s something that can’t be stopped no matter what. That was the whole thing about the 80’s and 90’s horror films like Halloween, Friday the 13th, and Nightmare on Elm Street. That’s how we learned about double tap. They did away with all that but the first one and recreated this scenario about her being crazy about this return for 40 years and being judged and not understood. The only thing I likes was the family aspect. They should have left the others in place for the reason she was this way, terrified and over protective. They still could have played it up that it’d been years since anything happened and that she wasn’t a loving mother instead taught her daughter how to protect herself and still had the rift between them and the husband and granddaughters relation the same as they did. The only thing that really wasn’t frustrating was the trap Laurie had set. They still could have done that and played up the fact they all thought she needed to let go as Michael wasn’t coming back. That would have been so much better. The last movie, “Halloween Ends”, was weird like 3 and 6. Some of it could have been kept and they could have made it so much better for lifelong fans. Kind of mad. Rob Zombie did a better job about explaining why Michael was the way he was but it was much more violent, however it’s horror so their you go. I’m sad that Jamie won’t be back for anymore Halloween movies. I hope someone tries again later to right these wrongs and end this better.
