Arrow in the Head readers may remember our long-running Face-Off article series, which I wrote for quite a while. That concept is now back with our new video series, Horror Face-Off, and the first episode of the series can be seen in the embed above! We’re getting things started with a match-up that genre fans have been debating amongst themselves for the last few years; which film is better in the battle between Halloween: H20 (get it HERE) and the 2018 Halloween (get that one HERE)? They both brought Jamie Lee Curtis back as Laurie Strode and ignored previous sequels, but which was more effective? Find out which one we chose by checking out the video.
Here’s what the Horror Face-Off video series is all about:
In this series we put two worthy horror related foes in the ring for an epic clash! Whether it’s a pair of horror movies, actors, iconic characters, franchises, originals vs. remakes, directors, or whatever else we can think of, it’s time to lace up throw down!
Directed by Steve Miner, Halloween: H20 has the following synopsis:
Two decades after surviving a massacre on October 31, 1978, former baby sitter Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) finds herself hunted by persistent knife-wielder Michael Myers. Laurie now lives in Northern California under an assumed name, where she works as the headmistress of a private school. But it’s not far enough to escape Myers, who soon discovers her whereabouts. As Halloween descends upon Laurie’s peaceful community, a feeling of dread weighs upon her — with good reason.
Halloween (2018) was directed by David Gordon Green and tells the following story:
It’s been 40 years since Laurie Strode survived a vicious attack from crazed killer Michael Myers on Halloween night. Locked up in an institution, Myers manages to escape when his bus transfer goes horribly wrong. Laurie now faces a terrifying showdown when the masked madman returns to Haddonfield, Ill. — but this time, she’s ready for him.
The H20 vs. Halloween 2018 episode of Horror Face-Off was Written by Eric Walkuski, Narrated by Shawn Knippleberg, Edited by Shawn Parke, Produced by John Fallon, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.
