Excited about Halloween Kills in 2020 !!

So excited about Halloween Kills in 2020 and Halloween Ends in 2021.

I really enjoyed Halloween 2018. There are only 3 things that I wish were different.

At the asylum, after he twice said "say something", I think it would have had more of an impact if he then yelled "Laurie Strode!!" then Michael quickly turns around, us only seeing his shoulder then the Halloween theme kicks in. Since she was the one that got away before he was apprehended, that would have been much more powerful.

The kid being babysat was completely unrealistic in that horrible moment. He would have been terrified like Tommy and Lindsay, not level headed enough to utter any words let alone be comical.

Another thing that would have had a stronger impact is if they gave a close up & pause of Jamie Lee Curtis as she then says goodbye & tosses the flare. Given the 40 year history they tried to convey, that would have been powerful.

Other than that, loved the movie and loved Jamie Lee Curtis and her brilliant performance of a PTSD victim. I CANNOT WAIT for the sequels in 2020 and 2021. However, if they kill off Laurie Strode, even heroically, I won't bother to go see them. Her death is the main reason why I never watched H:Resurrection again.
