After Halloween Ends, Does It Need a Resurrection? | AJP #6

Is there a better day to discuss Halloween Ends than October 31? How about to discuss Halloween: Resurrection? Yeah, you're right; it's never a good day to discuss Resurrection. But hey, we did it anyway, comparing the disastrous 2002 slasher to Ends, the latest addition to the Halloween franchise. Both movies were intended to act as the conclusion to Laurie Strode's lifelong struggle against Michael Myers, so they're related in that regard. But as we fans know well, Resurrection was a catastrophe. So, did Halloween Ends finally get it right and honor Jamie Lee Curtis and her iconic character? Or is it another colossal failure?

Warning: We spoil Halloween Ends and Halloween: Resurrection. If you haven't seen Ends yet, you might want to avoid this episode. If you haven't seen Resurrection yet, you don't know how lucky you are.
