Aaron Korey: We're here to investigate a patient that killed three innocent teenagers on Halloween, 1978. He was shot by his own psychiatrist and taken into custody that night, and has spent the last forty years in captivity.
Allyson: Everyone in my family, like, turns into a nutcase this time of year.

Vicky: If I were you guys, I wouldn't celebrate either. I would just put up a Christmas tree instead. Skip over all the creepy Halloween shit, right? Does your grandma ever talk about it?

Allyson: Yeah, it's pretty much all she talks about. It defines her life. She's been traumatized ever since.

Dave: Wasn't it her brother who, like, cold-blooded murdilated all those teenagers?

Allyson: No. That's just a bit that some people made up to make them feel better, I think.

Vicky: I mean, that is scary to have a bunch of your friends get butchered by some random crazy person.

Dave: Is it, though? Because, all things considered, there's a lot worse stuff that's happening today. And like, I mean, what, a couple people getting killed by one guy with a knife is not that big of a deal.

Vicky: Dude, her grandmother was almost fucking murdered.

Dave: And she escaped, and they caught him, and now he's incarcerated. I-I'm just saying, like, by today's standards...

Vicky: Just shut the fuck up, Dave. Shut up.
Dr. Sartain: [to Laurie] Did you know our friend Hawkins here was the first responding deputy when Michael was apprehended in the 1978? He stopped Loomis from killing Michael that night.

Laurie Strode: Do you know that I pray every night that he would escape?

Officer Hawkins: What the hell do you do that for?

Laurie Strode: So I can kill him.

Officer Hawkins: Well, that was a dumb thing to pray for.
Laurie Strode: He's waited for this night... he's waited for me... I've waited for him...
Laurie Strode: You don't believe in the Boogeyman?

Aaron Korey: I believe in Michael Myers, a deranged serial killer, but the Boogeyman? No.

Laurie Strode: Well, you should.
Laurie Strode: I need to protect my family. You have no security system, Karen.

Karen: Mom, you need help!

Laurie Strode: Evil is real.
Officer Hawkins: There's a reason we're supposed to be afraid of this night.
Laurie Strode: Happy Halloween, Michael.
Laurie Strode: The bus crashed.

Officer Hawkins: Michael Myers escaped.

Aaron Korey: He returned to Haddonfield. His home.
Laurie Strode: He is a killer. But he will be killed tonight.
Laurie Strode: I always knew he'd come back. In this town, Michael Myers is a myth. He's the Boogeyman. A ghost story to scare kids. But this Boogeyman is real. An evil like his never stops, it just grows older. Darker. More determined. Forty years ago, he came to my home to kill. He killed my friends, and now he's back to finish what he started, with me. The one person who's ready to stop him.
Ray: I got peanut butter on my penis.
Dr. Sartain: I'm a doctor. Lock your doors.
Dr. Sartain: He can speak. He just chooses not to.
Dr. Sartain: [about Laurie and Michael] I would suspect the notion of being a predator or the fear of becoming prey keeps both of them alive.
Dr. Sartain: [last words] Say something.

[Michael crushes Dr. Sartain's skull beneath his boot]
Dana Haines: Michael Myers is a human being who killed his sister when he was six years old. Then he came after you. We just want to know why. We want a glimpse inside his mind. That's why your story's so important.

Laurie Strode: My story?

Aaron Korey: Two failed marriages. Rocky relationship with your daughter and granddaughter.

Laurie Strode: Michael Myers killed five people... and he's a human being we need to understand? I'm twice divorced... and I'm a "basket case".

Aaron Korey: They're transferring him.

Laurie Strode: Tomorrow, 7:30.

Dana Haines: He'll be locked away until the end of days.

Laurie Strode: That's the idea.

Dana Haines: Let's talk about when the state came to take away your daughter away. She was 12 years old. They said you were an unfit mother. How long until you regained custody?

Laurie Strode: [long beat] I didn't. But you already knew that.

Aaron Korey: Laurie, we saw him. We met with Michael. I showed him the mask. There was nothing. No response. Nothing. He won't talk to anyone. Never has, but... I think he might speak with you. So, why don't you sit down with him and say all the things you must be longing to say. Come with us, and let us help you free yourself. Please.

Laurie Strode: [opens the door] Time's up. I'll accept my payment. Get out.
Julian: I hear you telling your friends to come over here and you're gonna smoke some weed.

Vicky: No, no.

Julian: That alakazam?

Vicky: Julian, I'm talking about like, a... you know, like a magic trick. Abracadabra!

Julian: I know you're talking about smoking weed. Don't lie to me. That's against the rules, I'm telling my mom.

Vicky: Well, I'm gonna tell your mom about your browser history.

Julian: You better not.
Julian: I saw someone in the hallway, standing outside my door.

Dave: What's up, buddy?

Julian: There was a fucked-up face, watching me from the dark.

Dave: Ghosts and goblins, little buddy?

Julian: Shut up, Dave! I heard him breathing, and then I saw him. He's in here. Boogeyman's in this house.

Vicky: Okay. All right. Come on, I got you. Let's check it out.

Julian: Send Dave first.
Laurie Strode: Stay here. I've got to finish this.
Laurie Strode: Why are you all just standing here? Do something, damn it!
Julian: [Vicky gets attacked by Michael] Oh, shit!
Karen: [holding a gun at the base of the hidden room's stairs] I can't do it!

Karen: [Michael appears at the top] Gotcha.

[shoots him]
Dana Haines: I need to go do a number two almost immediately.
Laurie Strode: [to Dr. Sartain after finding out he is Michael's psychiatrist] Oh, you're the new Loomis.
[first lines]

Dr. Sartain: You're not cold or anything, are you? Everything all right? Are you taking any medication?
Allyson: [holding an envelope of money] I can't accept this.

Laurie Strode: Use it for whatever your heart desires.

Allyson: I'll save it for college, then.

Laurie Strode: Fuck college. Go somewhere. Go to Mexico.

Allyson: Could you imagine?

Laurie Strode: Yeah, I can. Look, don't worry about your mom. She will freak. But she'll get over it.

Allyson: Why can't you? The Boogeyman? All this hiding, all this preparation, it was for nothing. It took priority over your family. It cost you your family.

Laurie Strode: The way I raised your mother means that she hates me... but that's she prepared for the horror's of this world, then I can live with that.

Allyson: Say good-bye to Michael, and get over it.

Laurie Strode: Good-bye.
Dave: I went and got this tattoo. Because tonight is tonight, the one we'll remember for the rest of our lives.

Vicky: You are so getting dry-fucked tonight.

Dave: Oh, yeah?

Vicky: Fuckin' come here.

[kisses Dave]
Loomis: [on a tape recording, Loomis - Michael Myers' former caretaker and nemesis - is asked to give a statement] My suggestion is termination. Death is the only solution for Michael. There's nothing to be gained by from keeping evil alive. A shot of sodium thiopental would render him unconscious. I'll be with him to make sure his life is extinguished. My ear on his chest to hear for myself that his vitals no longer function and immediately incinerate the body. It needs to die. It needs to die! It needs to die!

Halloween short comments

Mediocre and boring without waves, as long as there are all kinds of supporting roads for horror films, only the last scene slightly enhances the look and feel.
Billie 2022-03-26 09:01:05

Pay tribute to the 1978 version, although the audiovisual is still not as pure as the previous work, but the script is relatively complete, and the final climax at the end is even more explosive, and instantly feels that the IQs of the characters are all online! Of course, I have seen the new version, and I have a better understanding of John Carpenter's lens rendering the horror atmosphere to stimulate the audience's adrenaline. some water.
