Halloween II dramatic opening clip
Here's the opening of Halloween II with the new footage inserted. I've always wondered why Laurie stayed in the house rather than leave with the children?
Listen to Carpenter's tweaked music after Loomis says, "You don't know what death is". Good stuff.

I’m sure none of you except for JPX knows that I’m a bit of a germ-a-phobic. It’s annoying, but manageable. Though, since I met JPX and list...

I'm reminded of the opening moments of Back to the Future Part II, which exactly duplicates the end of the first movie shot for shot, but was completely re-done by Zemekis since a different actress is playing Jennifer, Mary's girlfriend.
(It's Claudia Wells in the first one and Elizabeth Shue in the other two. She completely submerges her Elizabeth Shue personality beneath a dead-on imitation of Claudia Wells.)
You don't really notice unless you watch the movies in sequence, and then you see that it's a different Jennifer and Marty is five years older (although Fox can pull this off, playing a high school senior at 28).
Actually he can't quite pull it off, and Marty's personality is somewhat more mature in the sequels -- so much so that it's kind of jarring in Part III when he refers to one of his teachers and you realize he's supposed to be so young. He just "reads" as Michael J. Fox: his screen persona is fairly ageless.
Obviously I meant "Marty" and not "Mary" in the first paragraph above. "Jennifer" is "Mary's girlfriend" in a completely different movie. (Maybe.)
Hey jerks, good to be back. After an horrible, horrible day of traveling it's nice to have a fresh batch of Horrorthon to comb through. (And I need to finish my damn reviews, I know.)
JPX, your Halloween 2 assessment has changed over the years! Why, I remember you saying that the first two Halloweens should be spliced together and be presented as one long horror classic!
That trivia bit about the murder trial sounds like a load crappity-hype.
Shit. it's all too much - Jordan, your zombie dissection was superb, as was NotMarc's hospital scenario. Octo, nice finish!

Hmmmmm, doesn't seem like something I'd say...
How can we trust your memory when you don't even recall the short story you wrote in which I get killed with a machete?

Now you're just screwing with me. It's exactly the kind of thing you'd write. Which I can say because you already wrote it.
Man, this is like that Matt Groening strip in which the older siblings, when reminded as adults of the taunting they inflicted, have no idea what the inflictee is talking about.
