“Halloween Ends” marks the ending of the 44 year-old “Halloween” saga, which started in 1978 that follows dangerous serial killer Micheal Myers.  Much has changed in the time span between the creation of the first and last movie in the thrilling series. With new characters coming and going, the timely battle between Micheal Myers played by James Jude Courtney and Laurie Strode played by Jamie Lee Curtis,  finally comes to a fearful ending.

“My favorite character in all of the movies is Micheal because he just seems like a cool villain,” said junior Ryan Roberts. 

Micheal Myers is the face of the series, when people think about “Halloween” they will picture Micheal and his ionic deteriorating white mask. Viewers have witnessed him commit his vicious crimes since he was just six years-old. 

New characters were introduced too, one being Micheal’s newest partner in crime Corey Cunningham who commits vicious crimes and endangers the people of the town. Cunningham left mixed reactions to the viewers as many felt he took much of the attention off Micheal, driving off track from the original plot. 

“They could’ve improved the new one by adding more Micheal and less Corey,” said Roberts. 

 One noticeable difference was the picture and special effects in “Halloween Ends” were noticeably more advanced than the original, giving it advantage in this category. 

“The graphics in the new one were definitely better. It was impressive what [the filmers] were able to do,” said Roberts. 

Perhaps the most iconic part of the whole series is the music that starts playing when Micheal is in the pursuit of chasing one of his victims. 

“Whenever the music started playing and Michael crept up from the darkness [was scary.] You just knew something bad was going to happen,” said Roberts. 

With many differences between “Halloween” and “Halloween Ends,” one thing remained the same, the scares and adrenaline rush audience members were left with. When the theater is dark and nobody knows what will happen next. 

“The scariest part of the new movie was when [Micheal and Corey] were in the sewers,” junior Manav Patel said.

“Halloween Ends” packed the theaters as it brought in 41.2 million dollars on opening weekend, as many fans were anxious to see how the 44 year-old trilogy would end.
