Not to mention that Nick Castle was asked to come back and not his beloved Dick "C3P0" Warlock. There would be no need for Dick Warlock to return since H2 is no longer exists. The new guy that they got for H2018 was pretty good as well. Yeah, I thought the new guy did a great job.

How did Michael know how to drive? I'm pretty sure they don't teach that at high security psychiatric facilities. Isn't driving pretty easy? I've never understood that concern. Especially since no one questions why he can lift full grown men in the air with one hand, carry around tombstones, and be shot 6 times without needing immediate medical treatment. Isn't it obvious Michael is not an ordinary human? Do people think Dr. Loomis is just exaggerating about him?

I used to hang out on the board of the original movie most of the time, but I did venture to Halloween II every once in a while. On the original we mostly had people who would post about how they thought Bob was serious when he made the joke about ripping Lindsey's clothes off. Or people would post asking how Myers could drive or asking what Laurie said to Loomis after he shot Myers, or about the alarm at the hardware store going off all day. For the most part everyone there was pretty friendly. We did have a few there that wasn't. Namely a pest who was an opinion Nazi who thought he was some sort of deity on all things Halloween and would rant and rave like a child when someone dared to challenge him. I do miss the good people and conversations we had though. dave626's not here, man. That's who I thought of too, though I remember Dave being alright.

Seems the only thing he had going for him was being a font of Halloween trivia. I recall making a joke thread that he thought was at his expense (it wasn't) and he made a response thread titled "To Mr. Thinks He's All That blah blah blah." Really silly stuff.

I use to get along well with Dave and yes I enjoyed his vast knowledge of the Halloween film franchise until the inevitable incident of that pesky turd, CJ eventually flinging insults and attacks at me because I didn't hold the same high opinions as he did with his precious Halloween II so naturally I lashed back at the worthless troll and out of nowhere Dave came in attacking me defending CJ and lecturing me on how I should be more mature and how I should be taking the high road while the troll CJ not only disrupts good discussion threads with his insults at me but also attack other posters that was openly gay with homophobic slurs and just all around gay bashing which has nothing to do with Halloween. CJ even frequent the Rocky boards and attacked a well known black poster calling him a "dumb (insert N word) " because he thought Mr T's Clubber Lange character from Rocky III was more intimidating than Apollo Creed. I'm in no way a Social Justice Warrior nor am I pro censorship. I prefer that no one like CJ to be censored from speaking his mind no matter how vile and disgustingly racist and homophobic it is because it exposes their true colors and for that, the people have the right to call out his disgusting behavior and lash back and attack him for it and still Dave was defending CJ's disgusting behavior literally sinking his own reputation among the community over night. And sure enough in due time it was discovered on the other boards that CJ has been openly asking Dave to help him fight his battles and to help him run people that he didn't agree with off the boards...….. That's just the tip of the ice burg.

Unless the car had a manual transmission, I'd think driving is pretty easy to figure out. We can presume he had been taken to court dates and such, so it doesn't seem too far of a stretch to figure out that you put the key in a hole, put it in drive, press the pedal on the right, and stay between the lines. I'd have loved a scene in the new one have Michael confused about the car not having a keyed transmission. Like maybe the car wouldn't start until the father, whom we thought was dead, ran up to the window, thus putting the key fob in proximity to start the vehicle. That could have been fun. I never understood this complaint/question either. There are so many dumbasses out there with driver's license, it doesn't take too much intelligence to learn how to drive (unfortunately.) So the "How did he know how to drive?" criticism is null and void for me.

I think I remember that. I also remember someone posted a video from their youtube channel. I'm not sure if it was a home made trailer for Halloween, or a review, or something else, but it had something to do with Halloween and was on topic for the board. The thread grew and people were discussing it. Dave jumps into the thread and tells the guy that his youtube videos have no place on imdb, and to more or less remove the thread. The guy as well as a few others told Dave to simply ignore the thread if he didn't like it. A few days later the thread vanished and Dave was on another thread telling someone to watch themselves or he would get their thread taken down like he did the youtube thread.

I remember observing my parents shifting from park to reverse to drive when I was a child, so I knew about that. So its not out of the ordinary that he could have observed it too. He may have been a little wreckless when he started out, but he had 150 miles to learn some control.

Thats the thing about Dave. He could see that CJ was the one instigating something and he would attack the person that was defending themselves or anyone else defending them. He did that to me many times.

I remember Dave doing that as well over the guy making the video. I think, from what I recall, Dave just liked to be contrary to whatever he thought popular opinion was...in the end, it seemed he just wanted to argue with people. There were plenty like that on IMDB. As for that other insufferable pest...whose name I won't mention ( actually there were two more...but I digress.) He was just more annoying...jumping in on every thread...not offering anything new to the conversation other than to just make comments...and some of his comments were flat out ignorant.

For some reason while reading your comment I quickly had a flashback to when CJ was using that avatar that was half skull have Myers mask. He thought it was the bomb and was hijacking threads and even making threads of his own to get people to give him props over it. Someone made the suggestion that we should all use that avatar just to make him mad and someone, I think it was you said somethink like, "why would I want to use a picture that I associate with stupidity?" I remember having a pretty good laugh over that.

That was me that made the suggestion about copying his so called "unique" avatar and sure enough several posters followed my lead until CJ broke down and changed his avi to Sam Malone.

Anyone remember the frequent poster CJ? Some were annoyed by him. But I found him entertaining most of the time. I had fun on the old "Halloween" boards. The Harold & his Sandwich thread was classic. Or the one about Rachel's Caloric intake having nothing but a Bagel for Breakfast. CJ is the one I was talking about who thought he was some sort of authority figure know it all. He had his moments where he could be decent, but most of the time he just threw fits with anyone who didn't share his opinion on anything. Is he the one who would claim that all of the movies are connected and would vehemently argue with you when you insist otherwise?

Mm... Probably. Apparently he annoyed a ton of people. But I only really encountered him once or twice.

He mostly attacked people who preferred the Original to Halloween II. There were times when people would make threads to rank the movies and he would reply to each one telling them that their lists were horrible. Some he even demanded that they change them.

Resurrection was actually the movie I found the imdb boards through. And though I didn't post much after that, the Halloween II (1981) board was one of the greatest I'd ever seen. That "Harold, do you want mayonnaise on your sandwich?" thread had me crying with laughter. Too bad it's not archived anywhere (that I know if). We'll never know if Harold ever got that sandwich or not. And did he finally wake up when his wife screamed, I wonder? Then again, does any of this still matter now that H2 has been removed from continuity?

He doesn't happen to be the current president of the US?

How have I missed this thread with all these nostalgic reminiscinces of the good ol' days on IMDBs HALLOWEEN board?!!
I had many an exchange with the HALLOWEEN "expert" and once or twice had to mix it with Dave when he decided to get involved.
Shape has already mentioned the many recurring threads about Bob, Myers driving, the store alarm etc.
As for CJ, his theories on Myers cooking the dog and operating the laundry room door with piano wire-type rope, along with the teleporting station wagon are almost the stuff of inane legend!

I posted on both the Halloween and Halloween II board a few times. There was always some good discussions. I do admit that the CJ guy was annoying
