Oh, man so get this! I killed this guy (long story), but then he didn’t die, he instead totally survived the fire I set in my house. Lame. Well, he was peeved and later came and bopped me on the head. Now I don’t remember a thing. Do you remember what happened in Halloween Kills?
Pop Quiz Hot Shot!
1) The movie opens with an alternative version of the Halloween ending, picking up where the first movie left off. How was Michael caught shortly after the initial murders in this version?
2) We are soon introduced to the Haddonfield Survivors Club. How many members are they and how do they know Michael from the first film?
3) Who lives in the old Myers house now?
4) Throughout the film they keep on mistaking someone else for Michael. Who?
5) Well, what a twist! He isn’t after Laurie at all. He just wants to go home (awwwww). All those years ago, what was he looking out of his sister’s bedroom window?
Bonus Question: I just finished up a draft of my Hellraiser reboot, Hellraiser Kills, when my new agent Greg calls me. What does he want?
Answers
1) Well, the sherrifs are all running after him and end up following him to the old Myers house. There he attacks one officer, while Hawkins shots the officer and Michael gets away, only to be surrounded and caught by Loomis right after.
2) You’d be forgiven for thinking there were only four, but there are five. Two are the children that were being babysat their night and ran into the night near the end of the film. One is the nurse who was attacked by Michael in her car earlier in the film. And one is a new addition, a bullied kid who they show having a face-to-face encounter with Michael. The fifth, of course, is Laurie Strode, who they celebrate without.
3) Little John and Big John, a gay couple just trying to have a nice romantic evening along on Halloween. Smoke some weed, eat some honey, and scare away the neighborhood kids with stories of The Boogeyman. Well … right up until The Boogeyman comes.
4) There was a second escaped mental patient (oh no!) and he keeps on wandering around and these dummies (like Tommy Doyle) run around being like “It’s Michael!” and it ain’t.
5) Himself. “Who am I?” he probably said. “Uh … a murderer?” his reflection said back. “Oh … okay.” Et voila, a truly terrorizing origin story. It turns the mirror right back onto us, the audience. Voyeurs! Un Peeping Tom, perchance? Oui. Fin.
Bonus Answer: We got to talk, he screams at me, Hellraisers? Out. Do you know what is in? Halloweens! Fudge, I’m not sure how the fans are going to react to Mike Myers in hot leather tearing people to shreds with hook chains, but I mean … we shoot tomorrow so what are we going to do? When I get to set Greg is out of control. He’s tearing into the new girl we hired, and just being a total nuisance. But don’t worry, I got a plan. I go into the spoooooooky Lament Configuration (which is now has more like a Michael Myers childhood home vibe) and I call him in. “Greg you got to chill.” He nods his head sadly, “I just want this to work so badly Patrick, you know.” I did, I was once a young up and comer as well. “Hey Greg, let’s do this together, but could you go get something from the basement of the Lament Configuration for me,” I say. He smiles and nods, but at the last second I recognize that wild look in his eye. I dip and dodge just as he stabs me in the stomach with a knife, and I kick him down the stairs into the basement. I’m sorry I say sadly as I spring the trap and torch the Configuration. As I’m driven to the hospital I see the fire trucks scream by. “NOOOOOOO, Let it buuuurn!” I scream cheesily. Daaaang, I need a new agent.
The movie turned out fine by the way. It is called Halloween: The Myers Configuration and yeah, sexy Michael Myers is the biggest Halloween costume of the year.
