About this deal
As Laurie fights her pain and prepares to defend herself against him, she inspires all of Haddonfield to rise up against their unstoppable monster. If that happened in the Michael Myers timeline, then no amount of PR wizardry would allow Silver Shamrock branding to be used to sell Halloween masks again - let alone the exact same Halloween masks.
The repetitiveness of the dialogue in this film actually hurt my enjoyment of an otherwise great entry in my opinion. However, while the purpose of the mask and knives are obvious, Michael is never actually seen using rope during the film, despite Brackett's reference. Audiences at the time dismissed this as a cheeky throwaway moment in a film that’s clearly more light-hearted than the previous two entries.In the end, Jamie Lee Curtis is solid once again as Laurie Strode (even though she doesn't have much to do here) and all of the supporting cast is doing their best.
The fraught relationship between three generations of Strodes was deserving of far more attention than it ultimately received in the 2018 film, although at least the filmmakers were smart enough to realize having them join their multi-generational talents would be a natural payoff. Despite not being a success at the time, Halloween III has since become something of a cult classic.
I doubt many hardcore Halloween fans were chomping to find out what happened to the little kid Laurie babysat. s Halloween isn't a great film by any means, but it brought back the feel of the original and I may even say that I prefer it to the original. The Strode women join a group of other survivors of Michael's first rampage who decide to take matters into their own hands, forming a vigilante mob that sets out to hunt Michael down, once and for all.
However, unlike Michael’s blunt approach to killing, Silver Shamrock’s scheme involves implanting the back of each mask with a hidden microchip—each containing a dark-magic-imbued fragment from Stonehenge—that becomes activated by the broadcast, causing the young wearers to absorb evil energy that kills them, leaving a swarm of insects and snakes to break out from what’s left of their brains—a clear allegory for what older generations always said would happen if you watch too much TV.Minutes after Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis), her daughter Karen (Judy Greer) and granddaughter Allyson (Andi Matichak) left masked monster Michael Myers caged and burning in Laurie's basement, Laurie is rushed to the hospital with life-threatening injuries, believing she finally killed her lifelong tormentor. The latest trailer for horror sequel Halloween Kills reveals that Silver Shamrock, the evil novelty company from Halloween III: Season of the Witch, is canon in the main Michael Myers timeline.
