Looks pretty good.
Is it the final film or is there going to be a sequel I haven’t seen it yet but I will
The Halloween franchise has always been kind of strange with me
I loved 1 and 2
Hated 3
Loved 4-7
Hated 8
Didn’t bother with either rob zombie film
Loved the oringal idea for Halloween 3-d hope they film that one day
Loved the trailer for the new one so I want to see it but is it the last one
It's not going to be the final one by the looks of things. Not sure where they are going to take it from here, though.
I think it's a pretty good ending but there are always a few things from the original they could address: what happened to the Myers house, what happened to Judith's boyfriend and to the Myers, etc.
Going to watch it as soon as possible.
I am watching it now, I am very familiar with the series as I grew up in the 80,s, though there are many things discussed in the video I was not aware of.

A family rescue their son from a Jackal cult back to their cabin , but the cult come calling.
Didn’t have much faith in this film but I really enjoyed it,atmospheric and spooky .
A very good home invasion film x leave your brain at the door and turn off the lights .
Also watched some other horror films I haven’t seen before like Don’t Look Now, Joy Ride, and The Invitation. Meant to go see the new Halloween, but pushed it to Halloween Day - fittingly. I’ll rewatch the original then see the new one in theaters.
Next update:
10/20: Freddy's Revenge & The Dream Warriors (Because I've gotten the girlfriend interested in the sequels.)
10/21: Re-Animator 1, 2 & 3 (Juicy!)
10/22: Evil Dead, Evil Dead II, Army of Darkness, The Evil Dead 2013 (And I really like that 2013 film!)
10/23: Killer Klowns From Outer Space (not exactly my thing but I can nostalgically appreciate this film.)
10/24: Halloween 2018 (The first film in the series that can proudly walk next to the original.)
10/25: Eyes Without A Face (A true classic.)
10/26: The Cabinet Of Dr. Caligari (With the score from Under The Skin pasted over the film; a personal experiment that has worked surprisingly well.)
Gotta say, I'm not getting this unfettered love for the new Halloween movie like some of your guys are. I saw it yesterday and it left me pondering whether we dodged a bullet with that alternative timeline Aliens movie from director Neill Blomkamp. I guess we'll see whether he can deliver the goods with his new Robocop movie. I just felt that Halloween (2018) was just a couple of iffy ideas strung together and stretched out over its 106 minutes running time. The music elevated it, but the story was been-there-seen-it-before territory. Overall, I thought Carpenter's original Halloween 2 was superior even though Rick Rosenthal was no stand-in for the great man himself. My own thoughts are: if you're going to erase an older movie from its timeline then at least make it worth the while. I just don't think Danny McBride and David Gordon Green were up to the task in doing that.
I think I've got a novel with that title delivered to me by mistake through Amazon a few years ago.
That does sound like quite the experiment! It's a very trippy, very creepy score and I can see it going well with a silent horror film. Do you play it straight through from the beginning like The Wizard of Oz with Pink Floyd or do you play certain tracks at certain times?
@Some_Kind_Of_Hero
To be frank, I have been a little lazy.
Here's what I did:
I took the commercially available score from UTS. Since it's not long enough for the entire silent movie, I simply reprised certain tracks until I got the desired number of minutes. Since I cannot really differentiate between the tracks from memory, and since as far as I can tell every track theoretically fits every scene in the film, I didn't try to figure out the perfect music/scene pairing but instead just went with a more or less random track order. In fact, I had hopes that such a random collection of dissonant violin screams would add to the frenzy I wanted to experience while watching the film this time.
I subsequently merged all the tracks and pasted the music over the silent film with a relatively simple editing program I have in my possession.
The result was quite interesting, I must say. Since the music goes literally everywhere, a sense of disorientation and delirium creeps up fast, adding to the eeriness of the film. It has never felt so strongly like a weird nightmare before. Rather than sit through the film with a more or less predictable piano track that often simply emphasises what is visually obvious, the things that I'm seeing and the things that I'm hearing are now two completely disharmonious yet somehow strangely matching sensory stimuli.
Update:
10/27: Poltergeist (1982) (The only one in the entire series that I can strongly recommend. The others, I can, at best, mildly recommend. The remake wasn't too bad, though, except that there's no reason for it to exist, really.)
10/28: The Void (This 2016 ultra-low-budget film is one of the best things I've ever seen in terms of Lovecraftian horror. An eerie little film, cost less than Carpenter's Halloween, doesn't need the FF subgenre like The Blair Witch Project, got a few relatively big names on board (Kenneth Welsh, Ellen Wong). In fact, one of the characters brings us the best Pinhead since Doug Bradley's first few performances. I absolutely love this little film. It's unbelievable anyone managed to pull this little stunt off on such a shoestring budget. I both admire and applaud the filmmakers.)
