31 Days of Spooky Movies: Halloween H20 and Halloween Resurrection

Okay so I've got one of the best Halloween sequels and One that I don't think is the worst but it's totally unnecessary.

Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998)

This movie follows Lori- a single mother now living in California- near Yellowstone and she is the Headmaster of a boarding school that her son attends. Her son is just trying to get drunk with his friends and hook up with his girlfriend while the school is on a trip to Yellowstone and Michael Myers returns and just wants to kill his sister Lori- who is trying to move on from the events of Haddonfield 20 years earlier.

This isn't the best Halloween sequel- I liked Halloween 2 and Halloween 3 a little bit better but this was the perfect conclusion to the saga of Lori Strode and Michael Myers. It was also a perfect 90's adaptation of the Halloween movies. It felt very 90s and very Halloween. I also liked the setting of this movie.

This movie is directed by Steve Miner and rated R. It's streaming on HBO Max and available on DVD, Blu Ray, 4K, Digital and I'm sure you can find a used VHS of this one if you really want one.

Halloween Resurrection (2002)

This isn't the worst Halloween Sequel... but it definitely is the least necessary. H20 ended so good and then this one ruined the ending of H20... so it's pretty bad.

This movie opens up with Lori in an Insane Asylum and apparently the man she decapitated was not Michael Myers but just some random person... which makes no real sense. So she gets killed in the very beginning by Michael Myers after she sets a trap for him on the roof of the asylum... it was crazy and that isn't that long in the movie- but that was definitely the worst part.

After that we see a group of college kids it seems doing a web show that is danger- tainment I believe they call it... and they are going to the Myers house on Halloween and livestreaming it on a web-series... the streaming aspect was kind of ahead of its time and I actually think this is a great concept for a horror movie- if this wasn't a Halloween movie- I think that might be a really good horror movie... but because it is a Michael Myers Halloween Sequel that we didn't really need... it just doesn't work well.

I do think this was more entertaining to watch than the entire Thorn Trilogy so... I guess that's pretty good but overall this was the least necessary. Busta Rhymes is the star of this movie and he does a pretty good job.

This movie is Rated R and directed by Rick Rosenthal. You can own this on Dvd, Blu Ray, Digital, 4k and very likely somewhere on VHS. It is also available for streaming on HBO Max.

Now I'm not going to watch the Rob Zombie Halloween remakes this Halloween- but I am going to watch the Blumhouse trilogy next... so that will be my next Halloween review!

Bye!
