Where to Watch Halloween H20: 20 Years Later
- The Gutter MonkeyMarch 22, 2025Contained far less water than advertised.
- LivewireAdminOctober 22, 2025Having Curtis come back was a great call and the long awaited confrontation between her and Michael was cool but you can definitely feel the Scream influences all over this one. Which makes sense considering Kevin Williamson did an uncredited re-write of the script. The ending felt pretty definitive here and it would have made for a great final image of the franchise but they just couldn't let it lie. Letterboxd: FilmPhanPA
- 4d agoOne of the original alternate ideas from Halloween H20 was the original plan for Charlie Deveraux. Charlie was originally written as a copycat Michael Myers killer. 🔪😱 The plan was that Charlie would have been secretly responsible for the killings at "Hillcrest Academy" basically trying to imitate Michael Myers. Now I love H20 as it is, and wouldn't change it! However I would have this as like an alternate Halloween H20 movie; because I can totally see Charlie being a copycat killer to Michael a 💯 I always found the character of Charlie a little off. And also on paper no offence to Charlie, but it didn't look and seem natural or realistic to me, that he would be Sarah's boyfriend, she was totally out of his league. They should have had John & Sarah as the couple, that would have looked right. And maybe if they went through with that original plan! Then that would be one of the reasons why he's killing, because he has an obsession with Sarah and knows that she would never be interested in him. And also on top of that, he's grown very jealous of John and wants everything he's got. Now say this version of the film existed, which it doesn't but if it did, they could have really tapped into that. It gives him extra motivation to go after John & Laurie and I think Adam Hann-Byrd would have been scary, because he has that look about him. Now even Adam Hann-Byrd who played Charlie, has spoken about this version of the character himself, stating that he was excited of the prospect of Charlie being the original killer. There's one part of that original script, that I would have taken out though and that is apparently, there was going to be a clue given where, Charlie's singing the Oscar Mayar jingle and spelling "Mayar" as Myers, secretly hinting at his obsession with Michael. If this was the film we had gotten, and he had done that, it would have been terrible, that would have been one of the boggest WTF moments in the worst way possible, that would have been horrible. Personally though I would 💯 keep H20 as it is, H20 is my favorite out of all the Halloween sequels. This was the first Halloween movie that I ever saw and grew up watching the most. But I would have the one as Charlie being a copycat killer, purely as an alternate movie only. That would have been totally awesome, if they brought out 2 versions of H20, it would have been a choose your own adventure scenario. And also the real twist would be, after Charlie was revealed to be the killer; that the real Michael Myers then shows up and goes after Charlie. And while still being in pursuit of Laurie & John at the same time, now that would have been wild. That would have made one heck of an interesting confrontation & climax. The Main Question: 👇 Would you have preferred Halloween H20 if Charlie had remained the Michael Myers killer, or was it better to keep Michael as the sole killer?
