Halloween Kills Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, Theories & Spoiler Review! Roxy Striar & Tara Erickson take on the blood-soaked continuation of David Gordon Green’s Halloween trilogy as Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) and Michael Myers face off once more in the brutal aftermath of Halloween (2018). We revisit the legacy of John Carpenter’s 1978 classic and the entire franchise—Halloween(1978), Halloween II (1981), Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988), Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers (1989), Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers (1995), Halloween H20 (1998), Halloween Resurrection (2002), Rob Zombie’s Halloween (2007) and Halloween II (2009), Halloween (2018), Halloween Kills (2021), and Halloween Ends (2022)—to explore how this chapter expands the town-wide chaos, mob justice, and trauma at the heart of Haddonfield. We break down returning characters like Karen (Strode), Allyson, Tommy Doyle, Lindsey Wallace, Sheriff Brackett, and Lonnie, while analyzing iconic moments like the firehouse massacre, the hospital riot, and Michael’s unrelenting rampage through the suburbs. From legendary quotes (“Evil dies tonight!”) to callbacks, kills, and Carpenter’s score, this reaction dives deep into the myth of The Shape and what makes this franchise one of horror’s most enduring legacies. Whether you’re searching for Halloween Kills explained, Michael Myers analysis, or a full breakdown of the franchise timeline, this is your complete watch-along for the Boogeyman’s most vicious night.

We had to, it doesn't have the same ring to it, I'll admit.
Starting point is 00:02:01 Halloween on Alives. Yes. Yep. Okay. We're the Chejeks. We're the horror horse. We're the Scream Queens. We're Tara and Roxy. And we are here to watch Halloween kills. Now, full transparency, because we're always transparent with you guys. Okay, for the most full transparency, I don't like this lip color on me that I just put on. It's very much blending in with my face. more full transparency. See, I've seen this movie. I don't remember what happens in it, but I have seen it.
Starting point is 00:02:31 And so if any parts I remember, I will zip it and let Tara be surprised by them. I'm really excited that we both liked Halloween 2018. Loved it. We're excited to see this, and then Halloween ends to finish out this franchise with our girl, Jamie. Have to assume she's in this one,
Starting point is 00:02:47 or I would have remembered that. And that's what I wanted to say to you guys. I also wanted to say, thank you. a big old thank you especially to our patrons our royal rejects patreon.com slash real rejects that's where you can stick up with your own copy that's where Greg and John cover stuff exclusively that's where you get discounts on sick merch reject nation shop.com baby okay you've got our cold shirt I've got our hat on we've got great Halloween gear too yeah man really good stuff so if you're looking for spooky season stuff and by the way spooky season goes till the end of the year
Starting point is 00:03:19 if it's cold weather it's spooky season so you don't have to just stop it out of Halloween. I love it. Keep it going. Those are the rules. You know what I didn't do though, Tara? What? I didn't check in with you, Ben. How are you? I'm doing all right. I'm good. I got cold to Shee Jacks on. I had some time to do laundry today. That's a plus. Yeah. I'm waiting. Waiting on a sunny day. I don't think this is going to be that day because it's raining outside. And so I'm feeling a little blue today and ready to watch something that's going to pick me up with my fellow Sheeject. So without further ado, happy Thursday. You've almost made it to the weekend. It's horror. Thursday. That means it's Sheeject Day. Let's go. Yeah, baby. We're watching this on Amazon Prime.
Starting point is 00:03:57 We, knowing Greg bought it because he doesn't rent anything, he just buys absolutely everything. So let's do it. Tara, count us in. I tried to say count and Tara the same time. Three, two, one. I did it. I did. I'm worried that this one's not going to as good because we really dug the last one. Hey, Oscar, call me when you get this. I mess up with Allison, man. I got to find her and fix it somehow, so let me know. It shouldn't be playing audio.
Starting point is 00:04:33 A few moments later. Hey, you okay? Hey, man, I'm coming. I'm coming. He's obviously not okay. Hold on tight. I'm going to get help, okay? Help!
Starting point is 00:04:47 I did not remember that, so. Needs to die. Oh, God. He doesn't love. look like he's going to make it. Stay still, stay still, stay still. I'll tell you. Right.
Starting point is 00:04:57 Oh, okay. Yeah. He needs to die. And I'm the one. He's going to kill him. Just to say he needs to die. Maybe. Oh, who's going to kill him?
Starting point is 00:05:09 We're back in 78. Oh, okay. Oh, so this is him. Who's showing us his journey. Yeah. Oh. Loomis said he shot him multiple times in the chest. I saw him from 50 yards away.
Starting point is 00:05:23 He crossed right here and then... I don't understand why he didn't... He disappeared. Run around the corner. Then you and Tobias searched chestnuts out to the bypass. Hawkinson's denial track Market Street up to Lampkin. We'll catch him. Yeah, kill the bad guy.
Starting point is 00:05:36 Jesus, Frank. I used to know the guy. That's a simple way of putting it. Yeah, killed the bad guy. My mom used to make me go over to his house to play. He felt bad. But he would just spend the whole time staring out of his sister's bedroom window. I always remember thinking, how was he looking at him over there?
Starting point is 00:05:50 Oh. Looking at Haddonfield. Simple town room, nothing exciting ever happens. And one day, he just snapped. Ha, ha, huh. Yeah, that's 78. Why are they being so mean to him? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:06:03 Oh. What's in your hand? Did you do it? What is it? What you get when you... Melanis. Get away from me! Ooh!
Starting point is 00:06:12 Okay. You're all right with you kids? Yeah, sugar-treating with our new old friend Alani. Do you kids see anyone walking around on a white mask? Not really. It's Halloween. Everyone's wearing a mask.
Starting point is 00:06:24 You guys aren't. I need you to go home right now. Go home to your parents and lock your doors. Why? What did he do? He murdered three teenagers down the street. Balloon, personally. That was weird.
Starting point is 00:06:41 Okay, so if I'm a kid and I see that, I'm not going that way. Exactly. Are you like, oh, I still have to get home? What's your deal, buddy? I'm going to the opposite side of the street. at the very least yeah freaking loop certainly not doing this no god no he's gone by now
Starting point is 00:07:01 like that pumpkin did he told it no there was one lit on the porch oh no please don't kill me okay oh all right take it easy where to go you didn't see him take a deep breath Who? The fucking man.
Starting point is 00:07:23 Oh, this was a straight-sea camera? Okay. Was it? It looked like he was like glens in it. Yeah. Again, they just let him. Right. Like, run off.
Starting point is 00:07:39 You know what's funny is that they're actually keeping true to like what we saw in the very first one. Not many Halloween decorations. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And nobody on the streets. Yeah, it's like a pumpkin. Don't shoot. Maybe don't say shoot when somebody's pointing a gun. His head's about to be cut off or something.
Starting point is 00:08:07 Why are you going to go and do that? Because he's pretty. They do it on purpose. So let's cast this pretty guy. That way we can make a mold of a pretty face. And then show it effed up. We're nothing exciting ever happening. Oh, that was so fast.
Starting point is 00:08:25 Wow. We know him to be pretty slow usually. That was like a sped up frame rate. That was my heart skipped a beat. Me too. Like that was body, body, body. Wow. Drop him.
Starting point is 00:08:40 Oh. Drop him. We'll start shooting, buddy. He ain't going to drop him. Dude, you already gave him morning. I hope you have a good aim. I know. He doesn't.
Starting point is 00:08:49 We already know he doesn't, and he won't shoot. He's going to kill his friend. He's killed his friend. He shot him. Idiot. Now shoot him. Oh, my God. The worst cops in the world.
Starting point is 00:09:03 Okay. I get it that maybe that they're trying to set it up that way, but I don't like it. If you know you don't have great aim, don't aim for the head. Exactly. Like, aim for the foot. Hang in there. It's going to be okay. All right.
Starting point is 00:09:18 Stay with me. He also didn't even hit him when they, he was like right there. He shot the window. And I'm like, this is pretty bad. How did you get the job, buddy? It's cool that we just heard Loomis. Yeah. Stay back.
Starting point is 00:09:33 We come. Oh, my God. Okay, so our Hawkins, Will Patton, killed his co-host. What's a co-host for an officer called? Partner. I can't. Oh. Officer Hawkins, tell me what happened in here?
Starting point is 00:09:49 Did Michael kill? Did Michael kill again? So we have Loomis? Yeah, I guess we do, which I like. How are they doing that? I don't know. Well, I guess maybe at this point, we had enough CGI to maybe do a...
Starting point is 00:10:09 The game was kind of interesting. Yeah. Okay, we're adding... Michael Hall. Pumpkins now. So this is David Gordon Green again. All right. I wonder if he did all three.
Starting point is 00:10:25 Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to introduce our next Thespian. He has all grown up now. He's become the most captivating bird whistleer. You would think Danny McBride would put himself in the movie. I know, right? I was kind of thinking that too, but... 40 years ago, a madman escaped from a mental hospital. It was the night before Halloween.
Starting point is 00:10:43 Kyle Richards. Teenage girls were walking home from Haddonville. Oh, yeah. Remember she was in the originals And I didn't recognize it was her They had sightings of a ghost-like figure Creeping right through our town A man in a white mask
Starting point is 00:10:56 Or was it more than a man Was watching them? Yeah See I had no context for any of this when I saw it Right exactly Now that we've gone through it We're like oh this is this There was a babysitter
Starting point is 00:11:05 And a young boy A young girl And they were brutally attacked By this stalker who had a power Beyond any mortal man The young girl Yeah I'm like Go ahead
Starting point is 00:11:16 Tommy Doyle. That's Tommy. I was that young boy. And the young girl is Kyle. Yeah. Join me in commemorating the victims. It's cool to cast. I bet that he's the actual actor that played Tommy, right?
Starting point is 00:11:31 Lovely, Miss Lindsay Wallace. Also, I was like, isn't this one? It is because I said his name at the beginning and I was like, I know that name. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, you're right. And we have Ms. Mary Chambers. I can't believe I didn't recognize that was Kyle only watched at the time.
Starting point is 00:11:45 Yeah, I didn't either. I'll only survive a face-to-face encounter. Oh, yeah. Oh, all of them. It's Halloween night, Matt. Wow. Oh, he was a kid. Got it.
Starting point is 00:11:57 Yeah, but he's new for this. Totally. Yeah. Who's next? Maybe not tonight. Maybe not tomorrow. But the boogey man is coming for me. Okay.
Starting point is 00:12:07 And he's coming for you. But he's not going to get us. Not this time because we will never succumb to fear. This is for you, Lori. I feel like you're making. and everybody a little scared, though. Wherever you are. Oh, here we go. Okay.
Starting point is 00:12:24 We're picking up right now. Okay. This is for you, Lori, wherever you are. Right. It's okay. No, no, no, no, no. Oh, they don't want the fire to go out. They want the fire to burn.
Starting point is 00:12:37 Right. Oh, God. Never have you ever wanted to see fire trucks less. I know, right? Wow, look at them. I hope she gets a big paycheck. Wild. I mean, that house is on fire.
Starting point is 00:12:55 And firefighters just, they got to go in there. If you're Michael at this moment, do you try to save him so you can get out? Or do you try to kill him because you kill everybody? Oh, shit. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I guess you kill him and you take his outfit and then leave as a firefighter, I guess.
Starting point is 00:13:21 Oh, bye, buddy. Oh, well, that mask isn't going to be any good to you because you just smashed it. I know, he doesn't die. Fire doesn't affect him. Oh, my God, it's going to be Michael. He's going to pull him down, right? Oh, another one down.
Starting point is 00:13:46 I was just thinking Look at him just walking out He's just fine Look at him Here we go It's weird that fire has a sound Yeah that Crackling
Starting point is 00:14:00 Oh God You can take him all out Oh my God That is such wild This man using the hose You see it's Michael Myers Why are you standing? Yeah I don't know either
Starting point is 00:14:12 Maybe the firefighters don't know about Michael like that. I guess not. Oh, okay. That's kind of a sick shot. That was a great shot. Oh, he's going to try a song. Oh, buddy, buddy. Love that POV.
Starting point is 00:14:32 Oh, that's cool. Blood in the frame. It's Lori strode. Strode. She was a... Rocket. Man, I think you should really let a nurse look at you. I'm fine. It's not my...
Starting point is 00:14:46 blood okay it's not my blood dang oh she's looking at our wedding ring and she knows that her husband's dead yeah i wonder if she's told her daughter yet i'm looking for someone i'm looking for my husband oh no i'm sorry miss you can't be in here yeah i was like how do they just let you walk right up in there you can't be in here god ma'am your mother's out of surgery it looks like she's stable that was a crazy interaction because like he shouted at her very but also you really can't be in there I was surprised that she could even walk in there. It was weird. Oh, okay, so she did tell him.
Starting point is 00:15:25 God damn sleep out of him. That smelled like Lucky Strike from when your mother bought it. Oh, I love him. I smell it too, but that stink ain't cigarettes. It's Lori's a house on fire. Oh, no. From upstairs, it looks like they put it out. But that nutbag lives a highly flammable lifestyle.
Starting point is 00:15:42 Talk little shit about that woman. She will fuck you up. How about you and I snack on some cheeses and try a little bojolet in the vault? What are you thinking? They're going to die. I remember the scene in terror. Oh, oh, got it. I'm sorry. I got you.

Starting point is 00:26:25 Who the hell is that? Oh, God, Mary. Tommy, what the fuck? The lines in this movie, man. It's just, it's a little too melodious dramatic. I wish they wouldn't say these, like... Do you remember that night? At the bar? You know, I never said anything because I couldn't be sure.
Starting point is 00:26:49 I was so messed up. I told you I caught a vibe. But you helped me. I always liked you. You're so crazy. Ah, I love it. That's great. Thank you. That dialogue I love.
Starting point is 00:27:01 Yeah, you're so crazy. It's great. I remember that night. Yeah. I kiss you. Oh. Yeah. I remember.
Starting point is 00:27:10 Okay. Bye, Vianna. That was it. I was hoping for more. I get why. But I knew he was sweet friend. Ben Tramer. Oh. We killed Michael.
Starting point is 00:27:25 You can. Well, it's about time. Oh. Feel so bad. They're both the same. Like, ow, can't talk. He's got no choice but to emerge. He is an apex predator.
Starting point is 00:27:37 The Pugman is that large. There will be no pause. There will be no empathy. He's a good leader. I'm not saying he makes the right calls, but people listen. This ends when Michael is dead. Michael Myers will be executed tonight, and it will not go without witness. We need all of you.
Starting point is 00:27:52 Rise up. Evil dies tonight. I told you, dude. I told you. That's what people... That's one of the only things I remember about this movie is thinking, oh, my God. Evil dies tonight. He killed my daughter 40 years ago.
Starting point is 00:28:09 It desecrated her by. Oh boy, okay. When he gets here, I'm gonna fucking kill him. Because 40 years ago when I was a kid, you protected me. So tonight I'm gonna protect you. I like this actor. Yep, me too. People are losing their minds.
Starting point is 00:28:26 There are authorities who are trained to deal with exactly this kind of, this, there's a system. She trained her whole life, though. Well, this system failed. Now get the fuck out of my way. No, no, no. See, some of the dialogue is great. That is perfect, yes.
Starting point is 00:28:44 The system film. Love it. Let him come for me. Let him take my head as I take his. It would be the only way he can die as if I die too. Oh. Stop, mom. Listen.
Starting point is 00:28:56 Why is great mom? Good knife. She remembers. Good, good, good. Big job. Oh, boy. Someone's in our house. And it's not a child.
Starting point is 00:29:13 Why would you drop the weapon? Why would you? I know, he's getting ready for a fight. Okay, I know, but I'm like, don't take off your rings. If you punch him, it'll hurt more. That's dumb. You break your hand.
Starting point is 00:29:30 Surprised no one was like, it's him, it's him. Because they don't know. Evil dies tonight. Oh. Guys, how did we not screen this and that people probably went? I don't know if that bit is working.
Starting point is 00:29:50 Are you here? And there keep going. This part's fine, but like... That's so real when you're scared. You'd scare yourself in the mirror. When I dive my hair brown, it's scared the shit on my can die. You were like, who is that? Oh.
Starting point is 00:30:06 Oh, in the armpit. Ooh. Oh, it's classic move. It would have been a good time to clap your hands. Yeah. Oh! Burb, bra, bra, blah, blah, whoa. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:30:25 Oh, God, that's gross. That was gross. Ah! That was a lot. I know you're sad, but... Yeah, like, look around. buddy like you see him murdered like Michael you've come home okay I don't know why he just was like you've come home like you can run and probably save your life but that's all right oh no oh that was
Starting point is 00:30:55 her kid that's sad why is the more not or the autopsy yeah like it would never be like that in real life but I'm fine with it for the movie I guess he just threw up his hat why why why because evil dies tonight terror oh my god he just was like i'm like why why you throw you a cowboy out of way i could have made all this go away it was that night that you were attacked it's not your fault it's my goodwill hunting moment oh he's gonna tell her about the And Loomis' eyes. And in that moment, all I could think was that inside that monster to do with somebody's baby boy.
Starting point is 00:31:42 It's simply evil. Oh, he stopped, Lemus. I could have made all this go away. It's not your fault. It's mine. Good one, good hunting. You're a good man, Frank. You were doing your job.
Starting point is 00:31:59 Any of the stuff with Lori Slaps. I agree. Because every time somebody's afraid, boogie man wins. Like, I don't even mind the cornyness. Like, I believe him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He needs to do it. I like that we call it.
Starting point is 00:32:12 Oh, this is fine. And I might have felt corny if it was somewhere out. It feels good. That's great. I agree. I know you're scared. They're scared too. Yeah, how is she going to get him out of here?
Starting point is 00:32:25 I'm not going to let them hurt you. I remember he could help me. Yeah. Oh, wait. It looks like he's about to die anyway. Jeez. Oh, no. I'm going to help you.
Starting point is 00:32:39 Okay, come. Come on. Oh, okay. That's good. You're the lock of these doors. Oh, oh, oh, oh. They're coming. They're coming.
Starting point is 00:32:53 Oh. Yeah, the mob mentality. This is so scary. Yeah. Oh. Hide. I remember, Tara. Hide, little buddy.
Starting point is 00:33:06 Uh, maybe he just unalives himself. Poor little, poor dude. Oh, oh, nope, never mind. Oh, okay. Oh, he's gonna chump. Yeah. Really upsetting, dude. Ah, jump, buddy. God, wire. Okay.
Starting point is 00:33:51 Yep. Ooh. Rough. That's disgusting, but it looked great. It's not him. Exactly. It's not him, Tommy. He's always worn a mask.
Starting point is 00:34:02 How do we know it's not him? How do we know, Lee? Because he's seen him. your hat made it don't know why you threw it off though what i'm thinking is the killer was choking him pete went for his gun as he pulled it up went off give me a gun his gun his gun went off and shot chest makes no sense but okay it was an accident he shot he got it the angle of that it doesn't make sense but it's okay he's after me no he's not it's not About you.
Starting point is 00:34:38 I can get back in a car. Help! Yep. I know I've seen his face. I looked in his eyes when it took off his mask. Maybe he wouldn't look out. Maybe he was looking in. Okay.
Starting point is 00:34:58 Who knows what makes him kill, what motivates him. But in his heart, it always seemed to me. me he wants one thing to kill i can't face to face with this asshole when i was a kid he creeps he kills he goes home and that's where we're going yeah this is a father with two teenagers in the car yeah and you're going to bring them to where you think right you're totally right i've been hearing about mint mobile ads for years at a certain point i realized i was the only one in america not saving money with Ryan Reynolds. Full FOMO, my friends were bragging about
Starting point is 00:35:37 paying only like 15 bucks a month while my old wireless company was charging me enough funds to fund my own independent movie. So I finally said it. Yes, to saying no. No contracts, no hidden fees, no nonsense. MidMobil's entire thing is simple. Premium wireless starts at just
Starting point is 00:35:53 $15 a month. You get unlimited talk, text, high speed data, all on the nation's largest 5G network. You can keep your phone, keep your number, and switch instantly. Not only did I switch, I stayed because I was getting the same coverage I had before, but now for a fraction of the price. Did the math, can have hundreds of dollars a year back in my pocket, back in your pocket,
Starting point is 00:36:15 you can do it too. That's vacations, PS5 games, or your entire streaming services bills paid for the whole year. So stop letting big wireless drain your bill every month. This is literally your sign to switch. Go to mintmobile.com slash rejects. That's mintmobile.com slash rejects. Link in the description box and pin comment. And because we're talking about finances, I should say.
Starting point is 00:36:37 Off from payment of $45 a part. Equipment to $15 a month. Limit time. New customer offer for first three months only. Speed may slow about 35 gigabytes on a limited plan taxes and fees. Extra seat mobile for details. Thanks, Minmobile for converting me. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:45 Well, here we go. At least this is in there. At least that's in there. Chase a killer and an innocent man is dead. Yeah, but the thing about Tommy is he doesn't have kids. Like this is. I fucked up. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:36:57 Right. I like that dialogue. Me too. I got to keep trying. But if I go down, I'm going to go down swinging. I need a car. I have a car. I have a car.
Starting point is 00:37:06 Humble brag. Where I'm like, just cut to them in the car. I need a car. I have a car. And that's where we're going? It's fine. It's fine. I think I'm being overly critical because I really like the last one.
Starting point is 00:37:16 And if this is the same riders, I'm just surprised at like some of the stuff that's happening. Yeah, the last one gotcha. It was so good. Now I'm going on a lot. What? Mr. Elam. Okay, at least he's saying that. you see anything suspicious
Starting point is 00:37:32 you honk the horn all right but you stay safe just drink beer I think so I bet road soda like call somebody else let them know you're here exactly
Starting point is 00:37:49 also did he take old Huckleberry or what is he gonna be like dad you forgot your bat I'm hoping he has a gun does he have a weapon Okay, he does Good Lord That got me I can't believe I haven't
Starting point is 00:38:09 I haven't had my purge pillow For the whole movie Well you did get me earlier Yeah But it was a purged pillowless purge I know I know It sucks A pillowless purge
Starting point is 00:38:18 Is it really a purge at all Not really In my heart it is But for years it's not Yeah Oh oh shit I don't know why we didn't ask for more people. I mean, I'd also be scared that...
Starting point is 00:38:43 Wait, is this the same house that Big John Liljol, right? Yes. It doesn't look like it now. See, I'd be afraid because they would get so scared to leave a weapon in their hands that they might shoot each other. Yeah, or shoot the wrong. person. Ditto.
Starting point is 00:39:04 I think about baking some pumpkin cookies. Ooh! You got to bring them. Yeah, duh, dude. Yummy. It's a little curious that they haven't. Oh, no, because Big John's upstairs, dead. I was like, why haven't they ran into a dead body yet?
Starting point is 00:39:23 Right now. Okay. Set them up together. The eye thing was crazy. That was so disgusting. Oh, right. We were like, he hasn't died yet. No, no, I'm saying Little John. Oh, right, right, right, right.
Starting point is 00:39:40 Little John's the tall one. Right, right. Yes, you're right. If you see the murder weapon in somebody, you should not touch that. Like, I know it's obvious to you that this was a serial killer, but it will not be obvious to forensics. I know, right?
Starting point is 00:39:56 Fingerprints are going to be all over that murder weapon. I don't know why we're still moving and grooving around here at Solo, but I guess, I get it, trying to help Dad, but... Oh, oh, oh. Did he hang him up, his dad up there? Dad's up there, huh? Oh, yeah. Is that his dad? Yeah. He's fast.
Starting point is 00:40:22 Kevin! Oh! Rough. That's where you get it for. cheating on our girl in gasoline. I know, right? Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Okay, good girl.
Starting point is 00:40:36 I'm kind of surprised she can fight when she never trained at all. Right. Oh. Okay. Nice, nice stunt there. They held on that shot. Shite.
Starting point is 00:40:47 Wow, yeah, that looked amazing. How is that? Grab that knife. We can't have a conversation right now, guys. We got to. Like, why are we shouting? We got to get to work. Shoot the gun.
Starting point is 00:41:02 I do not remember what happens here. Oh. Oh. Oh, God. Brutal. Leave. You're going to go up. You don't have.
Starting point is 00:41:29 a leg. Look where the door is. It's literally right behind her. Leave him alone! He's dead, honey. Oh my God. Now's when you run. Now's when you run. He's dead. He's dead. He's dead. Okay, so now you know nobody... I don't... He's right there. What are we doing? Like... You're going to run further into the house, huh? Do it. Oh.
Starting point is 00:42:02 Do it! Oh, who's you talking to you? All right. You gotta keep going. I don't think that was enough, but at least you did something. Definitely not enough. You just burnt a whole house on fire. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:28 I used to, I don't want to see his face. If we see his face, I don't want it. They did that in the last one, and I hated it. You want your mask? Come and get it. You want to fucking kill someone. Take me. Mom, I don't.
Starting point is 00:42:43 I think it is smart, though, that, like, that would be something he would be interested in. Oh, absolutely. I just really don't want to see his. Okay, okay. I'm going to plan here, Mom. Yeah, we're seeing too much of his face for my liking. okay why not go on the street why go through the back I don't know but she's smart we we know she knows how to fight so I'm hoping she's going to like a shed with yeah there's got
Starting point is 00:43:14 she has tactics in it oh she left it right there okay so what's your plan how do you how do you how do you kill him now because he's gonna go get the mask be cool if we had like a blowtor It's like a clam thrower. Okay, you run them over. That works too. Gotcha. That's what she's so last. That's a nice callback.
Starting point is 00:43:39 Yeah. And just don't feel the same as when I did it in the last one. Of course. But it is cool that she's trained for this her whole life and she's the one who twice. Everyone's entitled to one good scare. What?
Starting point is 00:43:58 Remember when you all just made the wrong guy jump out a window? I got sad. What's about to happen here? I don't know. I mean, he doesn't die. We know that. But I'm also like, there's 40 people versus one. We get that his strength is like wild.
Starting point is 00:44:24 He's like so strong. But I feel like with one point. hunch he can kill someone oh my god he'll fall over okay we're in a circle and we're shooting it it's not a good idea okay they're gonna be like oh he's dead they all scatter and then go be with your daughter jude greer is so good yeah she's great i care a lot about her too Look at him with the knife. Remember how he only those two, the fingers left. Yeah, I love it.
Starting point is 00:45:04 Yeah, give him a stab, at least. That would make sense. There we go. I always thought Michael Myers was flesh and blood, just like you and me. But a mortal man could not have survived what he has lived through. Yeah. The more he kills, the more he transcends into something else impossible to defeat. I'll always be here, won't me.
Starting point is 00:45:27 Yep. You can't defeat it with brute force. What were we just looking at? Michael's mask close up. I could not just see it. It was hard to make out. So he's going to shoot him for measure. Oh, no, well, there we go.
Starting point is 00:45:45 Oh, wow. Okay, get into it quick. Oh, Achilles. Oh, okay. All these people had to do it. weapons i would like to at least see them going for it and then him kill it but the anger that divides us it is the terror that grows stronger when we try to hide oh creepy as hell dude i hated that when she was looking at the window the first it was a there was a clown oh little michael clown
Starting point is 00:46:20 the zoom in on that bat oh yeah we're gonna kill him off yeah I guess so maybe we zoomed in on the bat because now Michael if he maybe he'll have it in the in the next movie
Starting point is 00:46:40 because that bat got a lot of attention if they don't stop him tonight maybe we'll find him tomorrow or next Halloween when the sun sets and someone is alone Yeah, okay Okay You can't close your eyes
Starting point is 00:46:58 And pretend he isn't there Because he is You will this night Oh god Wow I wasn't expected that Is this real? Or is it a vision of hers
Starting point is 00:47:20 I don't know. I don't remember this at all. I think it's real. That's crazy, though. He just killed her? Yeah. Yeah. Why'd she go back in the...
Starting point is 00:47:39 Because I think it's because she saw the little clown. Like, that was a crazy... That was my favorite shot. The little... It was very subtle. Really? Yeah, it was like... Oh, the clown on.
Starting point is 00:47:49 And I saw, I saw it. It was wild. I think maybe that's why. I'm very upset that they just killed off Judy Greer's character. Girl, you just got stitched up twice. I know, I know. She don't give a fuck. All right.
Starting point is 00:48:14 All right, citizens of the Reject Nation. We just watched Halloween kills 2021. it is the second of the three David Gordon Green movies. I believe he did the last one. I'm not sure about that, actually. Let's see, did he do Halloween ends before I say that? We're going to be talking about this movie, just giving you guys our thoughts in general.
Starting point is 00:48:37 But before we do that, don't forget, while you are on Apple or Spotify, you're whispering out loud, babe. Sorry, I was just counting the questions. Sorry. My bad. well you're on apple who's probably give us that five star thank you to prepper for helping edit us down and um if you could go follow us at real rejects we post all that extra juice there yeah he did do all the Halloween ends also so he did all three of these okay uh in comparison to the last one we saw
Starting point is 00:49:06 and also just in general Tara how are you feeling about Halloween kills uh not not great the last one is my favorite this one didn't the writing I don't know why it changed so much very mellow dramatic in some parts uh it was and like a lot of exposition I don't feel great about it but I didn't I definitely didn't hate it there's worse Halloween movies out there I think that I dislike more but there was just so many times during the movie that I was like why why is that what who who said yep keep that in what do you think the answer to that is like that they maybe had less time or Yeah, must have.
Starting point is 00:49:49 Like, my assumption is they had such good reviews, such good welcoming from the 2018 one that maybe they were like, all right, let's hurry up and write another script and film it ASAP. And didn't take as much time to make it great. So remember last time I was like, yeah, I remember liking this trilogy. And then as we were talking about it, I was like, actually, I kind of remember not liking the other ones as much. is this one. And then the second this started and I remember this was the evil dies tonight when I was like, oh, I know that I had issues with this. But it did land better watching it after seeing everything. The second time I watched it, then it did the first time. So just for
Starting point is 00:50:33 reference point, Tara, the first Halloween 2018, the one we watched yesterday, that has a 79% on the tomato meter. Okay. And a 72% on the popcorn meter. Okay. This movie, Halloween kills has a 38 on the tomato meter and a 66 on the popcorn meter. All right. So they're with me. The next one, Halloween ends, has a 40 on the tomato meter and a 57 on the popcorn meter. So on the popcorn meter, the next one is the worst.
Starting point is 00:51:06 The worst one. Of the three. Yeah. And this one is the worst on the tomato meter. Got it. So that's not a great sign. I don't remember Halloween ends at all. so I'm curious if I actually did see that one.
Starting point is 00:51:19 This one I remembered a lot. It's interesting how much I did remember because usually I forget a lot of movies and there are a lot of memorable things. Little John and Big John in this, the man who jumps out the window. That was so upsetting. I honestly kind of like they didn't do that. I know. That was like, that was really sad
Starting point is 00:51:35 and like in crying. And then we didn't like deal with it. We didn't like talk about it afterwards. I just don't like when they introduce big concepts like that and then it's like not a kind of a throwaway. Yeah. But the dynamic of the women and I still love Will Patton still does great. So there was some good stuff. Should we get to some Patreon questions
Starting point is 00:51:52 and see what they want to know from us? Okay, thank you to our patrons for submitting these. We are now taking, I believe, the first eight. So yes, we'll see how this goes. Let's start with Madlove. Madlove says Halloween kills. Many people didn't like the fact that Michael and Lori never interact in this film.
Starting point is 00:52:07 I disagree. I believe this was intentional to further solidify the fact that Lori is not Michael's target. His goal has always been to get home. do you think this was a good choice or do you think there was a way to solidify it while still having a scene with them together solidify it while they're um I didn't really mind it that they didn't have a scene together because they the whole movie before was like yeah was it was them a lot that didn't bug me um I think even though though in the first one, in multiple ones, even though we're not counting those, he's always wanted to go home. That was like his place, like, where he always went back.
Starting point is 00:52:53 I don't know if it has to be separate. That it's only that he wanted to get home and he doesn't want to get actually Lori. I think it could be both. Well, in this movie, they say that it's not. And I think that's an interesting choice because we did see so many movies where when, when Lori was his sister, of course it makes sense that he's after her specifically. Right. So I do like for this, it's not about.
Starting point is 00:53:15 her it's about getting home but I do think then it there's a lot of weird coincidences of like why he's so after like because I know that he doesn't choose to go to her house but once he gets there he's like really gung-ho on stay in there you know so that didn't feel like somebody who wanted to go home and felt like somebody who wanted to kill the three girls in the house exactly so you know even though they say even though Frank says in this one it's not about you Lori it like still feels like it is a little bit about her so because of that I do think this movie definitely suffers from them not having a scene together to me i've told you guys this franchise is it's about two people it's about laurie strode about michael my right they weren't on screen together this totally and like
Starting point is 00:53:52 honestly he would remember that she's a babysitter that went after him so why wouldn't you want to kill her right like duh mike joyce in the house do you think it was a strange choice to turn michael meyers into a supernatural figure in the original Halloween he only kills a handful of people but now he's uh practically immortal and wipes out entire group i'm not sure why they felt the need to make that change hashtag evil ties tonight um i don't feel like it was a big change because even in the first movie while he only kills five people he gets shot with a gun like 10 times um and i know that 50 cent has also been shot many times and he is the mere mortal but i think that he always has been kind of had these these supernatural abilities um especially uh yeah especially not not that these ones
Starting point is 00:54:37 count in this but in some of them where he kills like 80 people there was that one that we hated were using the house with Buster Rhymes. Trug-a-treat, motherfucker. Yeah, what was the name of that? I don't remember that. All I remember was that called. That one, he came back to life, like, ten times or something. Totally.
Starting point is 00:54:53 So it didn't feel like that big of a shift, and I don't know that they're fully making him supernatural. As much as Freddie, as much as Jason, as also, like, Swamp Boy and Michael feel very comparable to me. Yeah, I absolutely agree. I don't think it's a change at all. He was always supernatural. the fact that you know he fell from balcony was shot six times and then he's gone um and multiple
Starting point is 00:55:17 multiple times you saw him you know get hurt and always just you're waiting for him to go whoop like that's just his thing so if he if he could get killed you'd be like but why now but why now why now like he what he had there was so much so i don't think it's that that they're making him into a supernatural figure I think it's kind of always existed that way. And tonight, yeah, he kind of went ham on it. But, yeah, that's just the film. R.C. Flores, many people didn't like Halloween kills for a variety of reasons. There are some frustrating plot points, but I liked it.
Starting point is 00:55:57 Michael's living, his fantasy in this one, collecting bodies, work. This installment also brings back lots of characters from Halloween, 1978, including Tommy. Tommy. Lots of people don't like Tommy in this. movie and were not upset when Michael kills him. What are your thoughts on Tommy and his incitement of this town's hysteria? How do you feel, terror? Yeah, I wasn't up. I see what you're saying, where they were not upset. Me neither. I did think it was a little weird when you think it's stand up there to go, I'm going to tell the story of Michael Myers and get these people on my
Starting point is 00:56:37 side i'm like i then that's fine um and the rest of it of him sort of inciting a crowd and you know the the poor guy jumps to his death that totally sucked he didn't know that he was doing that i didn't like dislike uh him that much Tommy that much uh i think he's a great actor but i also wasn't sad when he died which i should have been if we're you know linking him to the kid from back before we should have some sort of pull to like when those characters die and I was just like yeah well I really liked that we brought back the more than just Lori you know I love that because we left a couple of kids alive so I love that Tommy's character comes back I love that Lindsay which is Kyle Richards character comes back I I love that we've got
Starting point is 00:57:26 these work these people that have come back I think that's so cool that they still wanted to be part of the franchise I didn't uh I thought that the that Tommy's character was really frustrating because he is so gung-hole like he's like I just fought him in the car and chased him off and it's like no you didn't bro like he's just so one-track minded he's like that's Michael and I'm gonna kill him and it's just like exactly what like you have no like this is you don't have stake in this as much I know you knew him as a kid but like take a minute and I and Lori's been training for this moment you haven't been training your whole life for this so exactly he reminds me of hothead a little Gaston or whatever his name was from let's kill the beach Beast from Beauty and the Beast. Yeah, yeah. It's that, it's given that energy. No one fights like Gaston. Yeah, exactly. Okay. James Henry the second, Halloween kills. For me, this movie is always going to be, this could have been an email.
Starting point is 00:58:23 With this being the third film in the timeline, Halloween 1, Halloween 2018, and now this, Michael only killed four people in the original Halloween movie that May Night. Do you grew the town being haunted by him for 40 years and forming a mob to get rid of him. I feel like their anger towards him is valid if Halloween 2 through H2O was canon in this timeline. I definitely see what you're saying. Like, you know, there were, there was a murder in my town last year. My, my, my, the city that I'm from was, is literally every year voted the safest city in America. And it's like such a safe place to live. And, uh, this guy walked into the, these elderly people's house. Um, he thought they were at church. They weren't. And he killed them.
Starting point is 00:59:07 and then yeah and we like all still talk about it like every day like constantly are bringing it up so I do feel like it is and I don't know if we will be in 40 years but I do feel like it's kind of realistic when you're from a town like Haddonfield right where like if they're if you're from a smaller town or like you're from a place that's deemed safe where things like this don't really happen then I don't know if for 40 years people are talking about it all the time and we see like a lot of people don't know this as legend they're like was that real was it not But I do think it's realistic that there's like an eerie vibe to the town for a long time. Yeah, I agree. I think, you know, I get what you're saying, James, but also we have to remember in the last movie, it not only did he get out, we know he's Michael Myers. He killed his sister at the age of nine cuckoo freaking bananas, but he also broke out and killed the other inmates. Some of them, that was obviously on the news, and the news was building it up,
Starting point is 01:00:07 the movie previously to be like he's out and about and he's like kind of on a on a going rampant with murders even though he didn't kill that many people in the last movie but I can understand why now the town seeing the news where they're at that this guy's out and about that they're like yeah we got we got to get rid of him it it makes sense maybe not as much of like there's so many people at the hospital that are like let's go and get him like it's like why that's a a little wild, but I also do kind of get it. Sean Fleming, Roxanne Tare, my favorite scream queens. Do you know that evil does tonight?
Starting point is 01:00:49 I remember being so excited to watch this after Blumhouse crushed the first of the trilogy. They really did. Unfortunately, this is a middle-of-the-road movie and franchise for me. I think they nailed the mob mentality with Big John Littlejoner, and Big John and Littlejohn are hilarious, and they have some awesome kill scenes. Like the scene with the firefighters was badass. uh that was cool yeah it's uh but the movie falls short what's your favorite kill scene and how do you feel about this as a follow-up i think sean that that was like such an accurate you just named
Starting point is 01:01:17 all of the things totally that big john and little john were awesome that they did kill it with the mob mentality um even though it was really sad they they nailed that that there were some good kill scenes including the firefighter one but ultimately the movie falls short that you just named all the things yeah totally the guy who got the knife to the eye i don't like the eyeball one that was disgusting but great practical effects on that and the knife to the eye was also a really good practical effect and obviously we already know my opinion on this film i think that it was really weird that we killed off um judy greer at the end like that that didn't check out totally sucks we didn't even get like yeah that just didn't work for me so that was my
Starting point is 01:01:59 leisure also i was like why are you going in that house right now yeah that doesn't make sense yeah no Leon 3 Many of the original actors From the first movie Returns except for the original actor of Tommy Doyle Oh okay so that was somebody different Nurse Marion already appeared In Halloween 1978
Starting point is 01:02:17 H2 1981 H20 H2O And also killed in the last timeline Oh in that timeline that's interesting I forgot about that Do you all think the movie was the proper reunion For these legacy actors and their characters I don't think we've kind of Yeah, I don't, I don't like the movie.
Starting point is 01:02:36 I don't think it was great. So I don't think it's, like, necessary proper reunion. But for the actors to come back together and for people to appreciate and go like, oh, yeah, it's this person, this person. That's, it's nice. I just wish it would have been a better movie. Because, like, then those actors would be like, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm in the, I'm in that, the remake or whatever, or the sequel, but they'd probably be going around town talking about it if it was. really good but it's not agreed um all right let's go we have a couple more let's address
Starting point is 01:03:11 awesome joe the flashback to how michael was captured and arrested felt very much like a deleted scene or an alternate ending for the original film especially the brief performance of the look-like actor for dr lumas was that a look like there's no way he looked identical right as if it was actually him would you guys like to see another interpretation of an actor who has passed and having a look-alike perform in the same way that the original actor did. Wow. I mean, he looked exactly like him. There must have been kind of maybe what they did on stranger things, like that it was a
Starting point is 01:03:48 person who looked like 11, but they also did face stuff over that face to make it look exactly. Yeah, they must have because I'm trying to look right now. There's no. I mean, and the voice like, was great sounded like Loomis so okay okay all right so this guy's name is Tom Jones Jr. What's his picture look like? His picture looks a little bit like Loomis.
Starting point is 01:04:17 Yeah, okay. Wow. Wow. They did a look like that. They did a really good job with that. Yeah, they did a really good job. And the voice was done by Colin Mahan. Ah, there we go.
Starting point is 01:04:27 There we have it. Because I was like, no, not the original guy that's. No, no, I know. for this guy the lookalike there was a voice actor attached right yeah oh because you were thinking you couldn't possibly have that voice and that look i go you're saying yeah there's no way you're when you're like auditioning for a lookalike you're like i don't know if they're going to be good or not but also there's no way you're going to sound just like him and that guy really did so who else who's passed would you want that for um i don't really think that i would not really think
Starting point is 01:05:01 that I would necessarily want that for I think they're going to have a really hard time on this next season of Euphoria explaining what happened with Angus Cloud's character so I don't know, maybe it would be helpful for one episode to have it so that there's an ending. Yeah. Yeah, I don't really feel like
Starting point is 01:05:17 like I need that. I can't really think of an example right now, but I will say that I'm glad that you gave us that piece of like trivia because I didn't, I thought it was like old footage or a CGI. It looked amazing. It looked really. good sounded just like him nice job on that dk lounge who was your favorite edition in this movie
Starting point is 01:05:38 mine is big john little john and do you never want to hear the phrase evil dust tonight ever again correct correct um and also i also yes and yes to big john little john you got perfect you got it you nailed it because like any of the other oh besides the bartender i did love him um but besides everyone else i kind of was like yeah whatever there's some corny lines that they throw in there but big john lozjon i i i like that it was like marco polo let's take one more question yeah this one's going to come from jay thank you jay for this uh jay says hallowing kills hi terran roxy sending you don't move it love from all the way from the caribbean and granada that's cool your reactions bring me so much joy and horror thursdays even better when
Starting point is 01:06:25 i see you both yay love it do you think hollowing kills would have hit harder if the film focused more on Lori's recovery and trauma rather than the mob storyline? Yeah, I mean, there's parts in this movie where they're saying things and things are happening where I believe their idea is that the audience would get emotional or feel something and I didn't. So, sure, if we hung back and focused more on her,
Starting point is 01:07:01 recovery sure but then if there was a lack of action attached to that that wouldn't be great um but i'm sure that there would be a good writing move around that to make a still a really good story in her overcoming what just happened and also finding out that michael is now still not dead yeah there was a lot to those scenes where she was in the hospital room like trying to grapple with the fact that he was still alive. Yeah. And I would have been... I love those scenes with her and the guy.
Starting point is 01:07:33 And I think it's also, it's very difficult to recover from something that's still ongoing. You know, like a lot of people's traumas are things that happened and it's very unlikely they would ever happen again or impossible that they would ever happen again. For example, a death of somebody. It's impossible that that person will die again or something traumatic happens to you. It's very unlikely that thing will happen again. With this, seemingly it's not. And so her having to deal with recovering while also moving forward.
Starting point is 01:07:59 while also knowing it's very likely to take place again all those are very interesting concepts and trying to fight it at the same time totally the mob storyline i think really really was very upsetting yeah and so i understand why they thought that that might work but it actually didn't have anything to do with michael meyers or lorry so it was kind of like a distraction from from the film yeah so i think that's a great question thank you jay for that and thank you to everybody who asks questions um we we try to get to as many as we can there will be a forum in which tara and i going to be taking more Patreon questions for something else so stay tuned for that but don't worry there's tons of time to talk about Halloween with us we have one more movie in this franchise left which means that we need recommendations from you guys about which franchise we should be looking at next so start sending those in Tara any final thoughts on Halloween kills no I think I said a lot already all right well without further ado evil dies tonight later rejects Thank you.
