The Halloween Rewatch Project - ‘Halloween H20: Twenty Years Later’ commentary

Heck, we’ve gone and created a new timeline! I guess Paul Stephen Rudd has been messing around with the Quantum Realm again, because it seems we’ve shat Halloween 4, 5 and 6 down the pan and are returning with our in-depth look back at ‘H20’. We join Laurie Strode two decades after she had a somewhat rough Samhain, where she’s the headmistress of a big ole’ fancypants private school, has a terribly-haired Josh Harnett for a son and is nursing a commendable drinking problem. But, would you believe it, her errant brother comes a-calling and Laurie has to get her Bogeyman-killing mojo back in action.


What do we make of this sequel to 1 and 2? Do we agree with Paul Stephen Rudd shitting 4, 5 and 6 down the pan? Most importantly, how do we feel about H20 in light of Halloween 2018’s eventual *double* sacking-off of the continuity? There’s only one way to find out!

Join us as we dive into the bonkers world of Halloween 6 and try and make sense of the film’s messy production, its multiple versions and whether any story explaining Michael could ever satisfy
