Halloween 2018 Michael Myers and Jamie Lee Curtis
Well, it's that time of year again. With October here to stay , folks are flocking back to John Carpenter's original 1978 classic, Halloween, to celebrate the spooky season once more. The first of a long-running horror franchise that has spawned 13 films total, the original is great, no doubt. But there's one sequel that I'd argue is actually better.
This Haddonfield feels lived-in, populated, and real. It's not just some random town with a random killer. It's personal, even if Michael doesn't see it that way. Newcomers like Will Patton's Deputy Hawkins, Cameron and Oscar , and the true-crime podcasters open up the space, and the way Green elaborates on these, as well as other supporting characters, makes Michael's return all the scarier. Frankly, he treats them with more respect than Carpenter does his canon fodder.
Curtis' performance here is excellent too. Not only is she a more accomplished actress 40 years later, but the decades between have only sharpened her theatrical prowess. The 2018 film gives Curtis a meatier role to chew on, and she devours it with every scene. Sure, we all love the young, innocent teenage Laurie Strode, but the 2018 version feels like the definitive take on the character. Her life has been forever changed by the evil that is Michael Myers.
