There's no better way to prepare for Spooky Season, than spending a couple of hours with the masked menace that is Michael Myers, right?

Dropping in 2018, the legacy sequel, or requel, gained positive reactions from both fans and critics as it served a helping of kills, as well nods to the 1978 original. Not only were fans getting more Michael, but too the ultimate scream Queen Jamie Lee Curtis returned as Laurie Strode, bringing her all in what is a terrific performance throughout.

It's a very smart and bold move to wipe the slate clean and having this as the only sequel following the original. It helped in reviving the franchise, as well as opening the door for richer character work, especially for Laurie and Michael, as they confront the lasting scars of that fateful night decades later.

It might've taken me a while to watch this release, but I can safely say I had a blast with this 'Halloween' film.

Full thoughts in this review/revisit.
