Something to Ponder.... for Halloween

Jason Voorhees. There are 11 "Friday the 13th" movies involving Jason. He never dies! Well, correction: he dies, but EVIL lives. The reason why people can never seem to kill him is because evil cannot be destroyed. I think that's what the creator was thinking when shaping these movies, that and the more movies, the more money. He was a little boy who was pushed around by kids at camp and then drowned because of neglect from the lifeguard. His mom killed at first, taking revenge on all the counselors... freaky bitch, but then she died. And then Jason became a monster who waited until he was big and strong to fulfill his vendetta: to KILL. I think that it would be super interesting if he started killing when he was a wee babe; like 6 or 7. that would be seriously twisted. Which brings me to my next topic:


Michael Meyers. There are about 9 "Halloween" movies in the series, but WHY, for the love of horror, is Michael absent in "Halloween 3: The Season of the Witch"? And why, for the love of good movie titles is it "The Season of the Witch"? I ask these because 1. Halloween is synonymous with Michael Meyers, but he is absent in the third installment. Am I missing something? Is there a whole other series of movies with the "Halloween" title from which that third one just slipped out and pushed between the 2nd and 4th during :Michael "Halloween": marathons during October? 2. There are no witches in the film. There is, however, a mask-making company that decides to kill a whole town full of people by creating masks that MELT your face. That's a pretty sweet idea, but I just can come to like the film for the fact that it is so out of place.

After Michael Myers died in Halloween II, the plan by 'John Carpenter' was to make a new "Halloween" movie each year, each telling a different Halloween related story. After this movie failed at the box office, the film-makers decided to bring Michael back to life for future sequels.

good grief, there should be a remake and a whole new third addition so it doesn't look as silly and out of place. :-) thanks for the info! i was very curious.
