    Today is July 27th, the 27th anniversary of Halloween H20: 20 years later. A frustrating film, mainly because of Josh Hartnett's haircut. The suspense was if they'll ever fix it. Then they gave us this shot of him IN FRONT OF the barbershop. They knew. That's the real cruelty. The real horror.

    I don't think it's as accurate of a representation of PTSD as Rob Zombie's HALLOWEEN II (2009), but I have always enjoyed HALLOWEEN H20 (1998) (with the exception of the wild masks). 📽️#filmsky #horrorsky

    The sole Creed song I have any fondness for is, “What’s This Life For?” and that’s only because it played in the end credits of HALLOWEEN H20 (a movie that I find to be underwhelming at best). My brain is very stupid.

    Interesting horror movie trivia fact: Josh Hartnett gave himself the infamously bad Halloween H20 haircut, and would even wear a beanie hat in-between takes to make it look worse, due to him not wanting his character, John Tate, to be perceived as "just another heartthrob". 🎃🔪
