I think it feels like the original theme blended with something Nine Inch Nails would do.
I was hoping to get something new. I agree with the statement that the Halloween remix themes feel worn out. I was hoping that Carpenter would deliver us an original score. The score he composed for "Halloween III: Season of the Witch," for example, was spectacular. I think he could have composed something new for this movie.

But still, they shouldn't be tuning into a movie that's several installments and storylines down the road. Or they should just get confused and be caught up with everything afterwards. And given how much will be explained and explored from the past, you'd get familiar with a lot of what you missed than watching a sequel and you're confused why it's coming off as like a Part 1 or 2. "Isn't this like Part 6, 7, or 8? Sure doesn't seem like it."
Well the Holocaust is much more to be supremely traumatized over than what Laurie faced. Those people were held captive in concentration camps and terribly abused for years. They'd trade that for Laurie's experience anyway. Laurie's tragedy is a little scab wound compared to the holocaust victims' tragedy which would be a huge open wound that take up from head to toe.
Yeah, she was right but I think had the other sequels still happened, it would have been better for her to feel this way. Going by one event alone that happened so long ago isn't something to really be extremely panicked about and that Michael is capable of doing this again.
At least with the other sequels under the belt, Michael's escaped the authorities multiple other times and is truly shown to be a boogeyman given his constant withstands of death that's taken to a whole new level than in the original.
I think this movie may ask the question 'is Michael really The Boogeyman, or has Laurie allowed her fear to go too far?'

I bought the score for the Halloween and the soundtrack to Halloween III several years ago.
The synth in Halloween III is pure joy to me. It reminds me of my childhood. I originally hated the movie itself because it did not feature Michael Myers. I was about 7 or 8 when it came to Showtime in the early 80s and I remember being disappointed. It's a movie that has grown on me substantially over they years. Like the soundtrack, it dared to be different. I'd still love to go tour the old film locations next year. Fingers crossed.

I think she would have mellowed down in that fear and came to the conclusion Michael was likely never getting out especially with the changing of times and the chances of him escaping from the modern era being more hard to pull off than it was in 1978 where things were more relaxed. And considering he did it ONCE before, the staff of Smith's Grove would surely make sure he wouldn't do it again.
Unfortunately if we want new Halloween movies we have to accept that they have to appeal to a new generation. Movies are made for as many people as possible. As a big fan of the series I have no more right to love the new one as those who just love some of the movies, or even just one of the movies. I love parts 2, 4, 5 & 6 - and I didn't love H20 or H:R. But that won't stop me from loving this if it's good. I'm happy to have multiple timelines, so long as those timelines are good. Let's face it, there is no sensible way of cramming all the events of all the movies together to make sense. If you want an H20 sequel then 4/5/6 don't exist; if you want a 4/5/6 sequel then H20 doesn't exist; if you want an H:R sequel you can't have JLC. Everyone is going to have to let go of their own personal attachments if they're ever going to enjoy Halloween sequel ever again.
As for the new theme? LOVE IT. That little stall near the beginining with the synth build into the main theme is just... think I got chills. It sounds very much like a modern love-letter to the old theme and that's the best we were ever going to get.

I'll watch it, that's for sure, but not when it comes out on theaters. I'll probably rent it from iTunes when it's out.
I think modern franchises feel worn out, especially "Halloween." It's not that I am not a fan, I just feel that the franchise has worn out itself.
I consider H20 the best Halloween sequel and Jamie Lee Curtis's recent comments on the film ("it was just a money gig," she told Variety), felt incredibly disappointing. She did not even wanted to be in "Resurrection" (and rightfully so, in my opinion). She only agreed to reprise her role due to a clause stating that Michael Myers cannot die and that H20 had to have a sequel. Thus, she wanted her character dead. The scene of Michael Myers wearing the paramedic uniform was an idea proposed by Kevin Williamson and that scene was shot the day afterthey concluded filming H20. That's right, folks, Resurrection started being shot the day after H20 concluded.And then we had the Rob Zombie films and they introduced an entirely new universe. There were talks about a Halloween 3D (?) and now we have this sequel, which feels, to me, like a rehash of H20.
I am done with films and I think television is a much better format, personally.
I thought "Bates Motel" was excellent. If they could to modern franchises what they did to "Bates Motel," I would be far more interested.Last edited by Westin; 09-21-2018, 06:15 PM.

Originally posted by sickboy View PostYou seem to find it hard to belive that Laurie would still be obsessed after all these years... but wrote a story where almost every person that ever came into contact with ol' Mikey is somehow working for an organisation/facility that has something to do with his incarceration.
Originally posted by sickboy View PostI don't think it's a reach to believe that that event changed her forever. Let's not forget, she's prepared for Michael to escape, she wants him to even, so that she can kill him - but she has also had a functional life where she now has a house and kids, etc. So it's not like they're saying she's been a sheltered recluse for 40 years.

Um, Laurie wouldn't be allowed in? I doubt it. Michael doesn't have a restraining order against her. I don't see why they wouldn't unless they suspect Laurie will do something, but she could easily tell them she just wants to keep an eye on him so he doesn't escape. Laurie could easily get a disguise and change her name to sneak in if it has to come down to that. To wait forty years for a one night showdown is a waste and why the aspect of this movie does not work out. It's one thing if Michael was missing again and she traveled the world to find him and couldn't, but she knew where he was the entire time and had easy access to finish him off years ago.
