As the title says, 'Halloween H20: 20 Years Later' takes place twenty years after the events that unfold in the first two Halloween movies. This film is a direct sequel to Halloween II treating Halloweens 4, 5, and 6 as if they never happened. You need to wipe those films from your memory because they never happened. Do you get that? THEY NEVER HAPPENED!!!! But what about Halloween III: The Season of the Witch, I can hear you all asking. Where does Halloween III: The Season of the Witch fit into all this?' It doesn't. It was never canon. It never will be canon. And now, because of H20, 4, 5, and 6 are no longer canon.
Also. It's worth nothing that a lot of people refer to Halloween H20 as Halloween H-two-oh. But that isn't accurate. There's no 'o'. Its a god damn zero because it's a 20 not a letter of the alphabet. It's the twentieth anniversary of the release of the first Halloween. It's not Halloween Water. What the fuck would that even mean? Halloween Water??? That's ridiculous. I don't care what the studio says, if you hear any of your dumb dumb friends referring to it as Halloween H2o you are well within your rights to publicly shame them for the being empty headed pig faced dolts they most assuredly are.
Anyway. I was going to say something. But now I forgot. Damn. Oh. Got it. Halloween H-Twenty was directed by Steve Miner, responsible for such horror classics as Wild Hearts Can't be Broken and Soul Man.
LL Cool J is in this movie. He gets shot. And as far as I can tell that is the only reason he is in this movie. He also writes erotica as a hobby and then reads it to his girlfriend over the phone. At work. This man is a security guard at a school. And all he does in this movie is read smut to his gf over the phone, let children sneak in and off campus with complete disregard for the rules, and then gets shot for walking around in the dark. Shot for doing what he is literally paid to do. Looking back he is easily the most interesting character.
The movie follows most of the rules and tropes for slasher films established by the original film twenty years before. But that's the problem. There's nothing new here. We get the Laurie/Michael, brother and sister, face to face scene. But we don't really get any story.
Interesting fact: This movie has two 20s in the title.
