Halloween Ends will be one of my trickier reviews to write. I have my opinion and my daughter’s opinion plus the barrage of reviews that I’ve gone over this morning. I see some scathing reports of disappointment and outright hatred of how they ended the trilogy. My daughter was so angry she accidentally left her phone inside the theater. We were the final people still in our seats when the credits ended and she shouted, “WTF?” It echoed. She and I are very close and almost always agree on movies, especially horror movies because that’s just who we are. We were both wearing our Michael Myers shirts and socks ready to cheer on the villain of the century. Can you imagine how devastated we were when it took them almost an hour to show Michael? This should have told me that they decided to take the spotlight off of our knife-wielding, never dying, killing machine and instead focus on Corey Cunningham. (Rohan Campbell) Who do they think they are?! That’s not the way it’s supposed to go down according to all the laws of horror movies!
But wait, there’s more.

Our heroine, Laurie Strode, is just as bad a$$ as usual, with the exception of being a happy homemaker that bakes pies. Huh?? Laurie is supposed to be holed up in her safe house planning her next line of defense against her very unbalanced stalker of the century. I’m sitting in the theater and I’m like, what happened? Shocked again.
There is a reason for all of these wtf’s. A line from the movie, “Evil doesn’t die, it changes shape.” That line is very poignant and the backbone of the movie.
So finally we’re at the end of the movie and I’m eating my words, taking back all my negative comments and admitting, I loved it. They stepped outside the box and brought it full circle. This was a mind-bender, life-ender movie. Michael Myers is gone but will never be forgotten.
I have one final thing I want to mention: watch closely and see if you can pick out all of the nods towards “Christine” (Stephen King’s masterpiece of an evil car) There are a lot of them, which made me seriously happy since that is my favorite movie in the whole wide world.
Grade: B+
About The Peetimes: I have 2 solid Peetimes and 1 emergency Peetime. For those who are a fan of the franchise, and who isn’t, there are lots of important details throughout the movie, including in the Peetimes. That made choosing Peetimes especially difficult for this movie. There were some lesser of two evils choices for me to make.
There are no extra scenes during, or after, the end credits of Halloween Ends.
What people are saying about the RunPee app.
Water drinkers unite
Run pee is the best app for people who find themselves needing to pee a lot but also not wanting to miss any action. The app gives you the best times to use the bathroom during a movie while also telling you when to leave and which lines to listen for! It not only gives you the time you should go pee, but it also explains to you what is happening during the break. I helped I use this app every time I go to the movies now. My god father recommended this app to 5 years ago and it’s been in my phone ever since! Highly recommended.

RunPee.com owes RunPee Sis a huge debt of gratitude. She sees any movie needed with no complaints and has done so for ten years (even basing Thanksgiving and Christmas family festivities around the seeing films). In 2015 Sis ran the entire RunPee enterprise herself, while RunPee Dan, Jilly and Mom went traipsing off to Europe. Sis is the spider in the web holding the RunPee family together — besides being a funny, well rounded person, and a joyous pleasure to be around. Her favorite films start and end with horror (which thank goodness she’s happy to see, since most of us don’t have the stomach for it) — but also likes silly comedies, sad dramas, and musicals of all types. If you’ve used a Peetime for a scary film, you probably have RunPee Sis to thank for it.
Favorite movie genre: Horror, horror, and more horror. The more disturbing, the better. Period.
