CINEMA – Laurie Strode and Michael Myers come out of the box this Wednesday, October 24 to compete again at the cinema in "Halloween".
For this eleventh film of the franchise of the same name, the director David Gordon Green has decided to clean up in the (too many) many iterations that have emerged since 1978: "Halloween" version 2018 returns to the sources by posing as the direct continuation of the original film. All the other face-to-face encounters of the mythical duo of horror are therefore to be buried and forgotten.
Dusting "Halloween: The Night of the Masks" – with which the years have not really been tender – this new opus starts with the escape of Michael Myers from the psychiatric asylum where he was interned for 40 years and the resumption of his hunt for Laurie Strode (worn, again, to perfection by Jamie Lee Curtis). The latter, still traumatized by her confrontation with the masked killer in the late 1970s, does not intend to flee: after spending the last four decades to prepare for her return she knew inevitable, she waits for it firm and will do everything to defeat the famous Halloween killer and protect his daughter, Karen, and her granddaughter, Allyson.
A new story that can be appreciated by the novices of the saga (provided they do not expect to be really terrorized), but who does not completely clean slate of the past and who, above all, do not forget the fans from the first hour with a host of winks, as The HuffPost could see it during a preview of the film. We bring you some below, ATTENTION SPOILERS, of course.

No need to wait long to get back into the freezing bath of the saga. Fans will immediately recognize the notes of the famous musical theme, revamped just right, the font that has kept its screaming orange and the pumpkin that already adorned the screen in 1978. The cucurbbit that approached then slowly in the original credits follows the same trajectory in 2018 but appears moldy before returning to its freshness of the first days as it gets closer to our eyes.
If the message was to tell us that in 40 years the plant has had time to rot but that David Gordon Green intends to restore its brilliance, the promise of this new generic is held in the film.

It was the attack on Dr. Loomis' car and a nurse who had allowed him to flee from his psychiatric hospital in 1878 and – because we do not change a recipe that works – it's the same Michael Myers uses in 2018 to escape his guardians.
After having the bus transferred to another more secure prison, the bus left no chance for a father and his son to drive there.

The very first time Laurie sees Michael in the original movie takes place in broad daylight while she is in clbad. The same scene is reproduced here, except that this time her granddaughter is sitting at the back of the clbadroom and lets her gaze wander to the window to her left.
Unlike the 1978 sequence, the young Allyson does not discover the masked killer when she turns her head, but … her grandmother.

As in the first of the eleven installments of the franchise, high school girls who will see Mike Myers a few moments later chasing them to slaughter them at the beginning of the film enjoy a good walk out of clbad. History debrief the day, talk boys and get organized for the Halloween party.
The original version featured Laurie and two clbadmates. In 2018, it was his granddaughter and two of his friends who similarly walked the houses on a quiet Haddonfield street, discussing the upcoming festivities for several minutes before separating.

One of the most important situation reversals inserted in "Halloween II" in 1981, and extensively used in the saga's multiple sequels, is the fact that Michael is obsessed with Laurie for the good reason that she is his sister. A turning point that this "Halloween" of 2018 chose not to take.
But the freaks of the franchise have not been forgotten with a little wink just for them. As Laurie's little girl returns home, one of her friends asks her, "It was not his brother who killed those babysitters?" A version evacuated by Allyson as a simple rumor: "No, it's a story that people have invented".

Among the first Halloween killer victims were one of Laurie's friends and her boyfriend. While the latter had gone to get him a beer in the kitchen on the ground floor to recover from the few minutes of pbadion they had come to know, he found himself planted in a wall by a meat knife. The young woman, who was waiting in bed, filing her nails, then saw the door open and discovered a man hidden under a white sheet. She quickly realized that it was not her lover.
A scene that is recalled in the album that comes out this Wednesday, October 24 in France when one of the friends of the granddaughter of Laurie knows such a sad fate in a confrontation with Mike Myers and is covered with a white sheet that gives him that same ghostly look.

"Halloween: The Night of the Masks" ended in 1978 on a horror movie clbadic: while we think the killer / monster / spirit / demon defeated for good, a terrible doubt is left in suspense. John Carpenter's film showed Michael falling from the first floor of the house where he had stuck Laurie, shot by Detective Loomis. The young woman – who had just escaped death – and the policeman then discovered with horror that the executioner was not finally out of harm's way and had disappeared from the lawn where he lay a few seconds earlier.
A moment of dread that is repeated in the 2018 version when Jamie Lee Curtis, once again facing this killer who haunted her all her life, is thrown by the window of her house and comes collapsing on the grbad . The masked killer then pbades his head outside and looks in the garden to contemplate the body of his prey … and realizes that it is she who has this time spun.
Laurie Strode warned: it's time for vengeance, and after 40 years of intense training to finish off Michael Myers once and for all, she does not want to play the victims.
