Dr. Loomis survived a gigantic explosion. Laurie Strode survived a car crash. Michael Myers survived getting his head chopped off!

So why can`t Jaimie Lloyd (Danille Harris) survive a weed-whacking tool?

Laugh if you want, but mark my words: bringing back Jaimie Lloyd would be the BEST thing the "Halloween" franchise could possibly do right now.

At this point I have to agree with you 100%, I tell you what they need to bring back some family member cause if his not chasing one in the next movie it goes against everything the series is.

i wouldn't mind, better then the idea of bringing back the Freddie (Busta Rhymes) character....we need something,and we need something old school to bring us and the new school fans BACK to the roots.

Tommy Doyle is out of the question, to me anyway, Rudd won't come back, and I don't dare to even think of them recasting so...

And Laurie Strodes had her stroll and chance in the park, Loomis is dead (Pleasance I mean RIP).. So, if we DO want a strong old school character returning, its best fitting it be danielle harris.

When they FINALLY end the franchise they should bring back Laurie Strode. Now I know what you are thinking: how can they bring her back if she's dead. Well I suggest you should rewatch her death scene. I think if she got medical attention quickly enough she could have survived that stabbing and the trees and bushes below could have broken her fall making not as bad. I've said that all along. It is perfectly feasible that she managed to survive that.

If Loomis was able to survive that explosion at the end of Halloween II, then Jaime Lee Curtis could most DEFINATELY come back!

I'd also like the little girl from Halloween 4 to come back as well as Josh Hartnett, Michelle Williams and Paul Rudd!

Oh, don`t worry, I have NO DOUBT that Laurie Strode WILL be back at some point. Her "death" scene was so lame, characters in past movies have lived through much more than that!

That`s who I`m talking about!
Jaime Lloyd is the little girl from Part 4!
The actress who played her (Danille Harris) is still acting.

Assuming Jamie somehow survived that thresher impaling... and her internal organs weren't chopped up when Michael turned it on... and she was somehow wheeled away to the nearest medical care facility...

Why did the doctor say he found placental fluid during her *autopsy*? ;)

Nutty as it may sound ANTBond, it`s still no more unbelievable than suggesting that Loomis survived the explosion in Part 2.

I hated the Lloyd character, too annoying.

Come on Duke. "Halloween" is the Soap Opera of slasher franchises.

Characters can die and come back easily, with the most convoluted of explanations. Um, HELLO, Michael Myers in "H8"? Don`t even get me started about fucking Loomis.



Get over it.


Well, if you want to get NASTY, then try THIS on for size:

"Halloween 9" will never incorporate John Tate OR any past storylines. Get over it.

I know fans are sore that they disreguarded 4,5,6 but they had so hopelessly fucked up the whole 'thorn' story line that there was no turning back. As for Jamie Lloyd she died in graphic detail how the fuck does she come back from that? You never actually saw Loomis in the explosion and Lauries crash was implied (and as we are to disreguard the sequels never happened).
you can only disbelieve so much.

She dead thats it!!!

Ive said it before what about using the characters in the Halloween One Good scare comic, Loomis' son and the girl who was with Tommy Doyle being babysat by Laurie, no worse than any other idea and it set Micheal up as being even a little playful in his slaughter

Jamie Lloyd and the Thorn plotline was all that was wrong with the Halloween series. Her annoying outlook and 'love thy uncle' strategy made me want to kill her myself.

Hartnett won't be back... ok... well how about some god damn closure? You don't say Michael wants to kill his family members, and then pretend this one never existed. Just have two sheriffs discuss this nephew and say he shot himself with a suicide note after his mom died, saying he wasn't going to go down like that.

Plus Jamie IS seriously hot now!!

if they're going to bring back anybody for michael to kill off, they should bring back kara strode and her kid and jamie's baby from part 6....they're the only ones who would have aged enough to make sense in the plot (like the fucking halloween plots really make sense anymore anyway...)


at any rate, if you INSIST on bringing back jamie lloyd, make up some dumb shit about how that 'psychic link' with good old uncle boogeyman in parts 4 & 5 somehow altered her to become part of the thorn cult (she did almost kill her mom at the end of part 4)

They just can't end series on Ressurection's note. This series needs closure, proper closure. That's why so many of us are still discussing, bickering and bitching over this franchise.

I've thought about this for a while, and here's what that proper closure should be:

As far as the filmmakers are concerned, H3-6 still and will never count in the storyline again. No mention Tommy Doyle, Kara Strode, Danny Strode and Micheal's/Jamie's son Stephen, no nothing. My hatred for Akkad over this has gone numb and I no longer care.

Important note: Laurie Strode IS dead. She ISN'T coming back. I know some schmoes have hard time dealing with Resurrection's closure over Laurie Strode death because they don't agree with the execution, but she IS dead and ISN'T coming back in the nest film.

Here's what's "officially" left over from the storyline. As of "Resurrection," John Tate is the only left family member in Michael's bloodline. Just because Michael didn't go after him after dispatching Laurie in H8 doesn't mean his character is forgotten. Michael just went back home for rest after killing Laurie and found some Internet teenagers snooping around his house, that's all (what YOU do if some Internet teenager were snooping around in YOUR house?).

A lot of the rumors surrounding H9 lately have made mention of a possible son character of Dr. Sam Loomis: David Loomis. To suddenly introduce such a character now is probably farfetched, but I wouldn't mind. Shortly after the events of H8, David Loomis would return to Haddonfield to stop Michael Myers. So would John Tate (played by a different actor if necessary) after his mother's death.

Now, "Resurrection" took place 3 years after H20 and Michael went straight home after dispatching Laurie, so it will be at least 3 years after H20. 4 years, if the filmmakers want to extend the storyline to the next Halloween fall date. In that time, John could have already married and had a kid. Therefore, more bait for Michael. There's already a nice little plot there. Well, possibly minus David Loomis, since nothing else is official. I should say that another rumor considered the sheriff from the original returning to hunt Michael down as well. Possible, but not official either.

No matter what, that is what the next "Halloween" film will be about. Something having to do with Michael going after John Tate at least. If it doesn't, then Akkad and co. suck. That's what we have to focus on. They won't be referring back to the failed H4-6 thorn story again and Laurie Strode is not coming either, because she's DEAD. So, be prepared when Akkad and co. announce H9 in the next month.

Laurie didn't have a car crash, it was just a assemble to keep Michael from looking for her, but once he found out that she wasn't dead he went looking for her in California, Michael DID not get his head chopped off, it was a peremedic, and Jamie just had a baby, Think about it, if you had farm machinery go through your abdomenal don't you think that you would die too? She was sick, she was bound to die anyways, and she didn't die until the very end of the movie in the Producers-Cut. The Man-In-Black had Michael rape her.

Yeah, I know that, but she was "dead" as far as the series was concerned......until Jamie Lee agreed to come back for "H20".

Again, I know that. I saw the movie. And it was really stupid and convoluted. It was what you call a "cop-out". May as well have Michael come back to life via lightning like Jason.

In real life? Yes, you`re absolutley right, of course. But we`re talking about the "Halloween" movies. Characters "die" and come back easily.

Look, at this point I don`t really care WHAT Akkad & Co. do with the series. It`s pretty much already down the crapper anyway. I just don`t think bringing Jamie back would be any more wacky than other characters coming back after dying, that`s all.

Jamie decided to come back because she wanted to.

And in real life? If this was where Jamie was to recur then this wouldn't be much of a Horror thing now would it? It would be more of a Sci-Fi thing. You have to have some realistic in this movie and Jamie dying was pretty realistic to me don't you think? This series is doing better than A Nightmare On Elm Street and Friday The 13th put together and I mean that literally, so why not keep the series going? If we do then that meens that we have less competition to worrie about and we can do whatever we want with the series.

Duke Nukem
03-11-2005, 08:03 PM
Elgyn, I think you're taking this series too seriously (and I thought I took it seriously). Certain procedures have been done in the past to keep the story going (a la Dr. Loomis surviving the H2 fire and returning in H4 to continue his nemesis arc with Michael), but only for the better of the series (and Dr. Loomis was certainly one of the best aspects of H5 and H6). Bringing Jamie back would be pointless. Her character was completed in H6.

Just like Laurie in H20 and H8. JLC returned to the series for a 20th anniversary sequel, and in order to keep the storyline simple, the producers decided to disregard the H4-6 storyline and start fresh on an alternate storyline. It's a very questionable decision, but they did. And considering that, there's no possible way Jamie Lloyd can come back, because her character is no longer acknowledged. I know, it sucks, but what can we do? This is just one of those things you have to accept.

And back to Laurie. Her character was completed, too, in H8, whether everybody likes it or not. It doesn't matter if she took only a simple stabbing and falling compared to Dr. Loomis' fiery explosion. JLC intended to finish her character and contractual obligations to the series with the opening sequence in H8, and she did. Laurie completed her character and faced her brother once and for all. Now, up to her son to end the story. It's just something you have to accept. Simple as that.

Elgyn
03-14-2005, 07:35 PM
Dope? Put this in your pipe and smoke it:




To say that "Halloween" (as a franchise) is doing better than "ANOES" and "F13" combined is NUTS. "Resurrection" had a decent opening weekend and that was it. Everyone thought it sucked. And since Part 4 in 1988 (I believe), there has been exactly ONE decent "Halloween" movie, and that was "H20". Notice I said "decent" and not "good" or "great". Sure, Part 6 ("Curse") had a certain trashy charm, but it was by no means a very good horror film.

Now "ANOES" and "F13" were dormant for many years, but they were STILL more popular (and, IMO, just plain better) than the "Halloween" series. At least "ANOES" had "New Nightmare", which was considered pretty inventive at the time (something that has NEVER been said about any of the "Halloween" sequels).
And now with "Freddy VS. Jason" which was very popular AND successful at the box-office, both franchises are - once again - "doing better" than "Halloween".

End of discussion.
This thread was dumb to begin with (I should know, I started it!)
Don`t expect me to post anymore here.

Halloween: Resurrection made a good hit at the box-office, and so did Freddy v.s Jason but ask alot of people, I hope they will agree that Freddy's and Jason's Franchises are gone, they screwed that up by throwing the series out of whack with having Jason in Friday 9: Jason goes to hell, when he went to hell there was no bringing him back, but yet some how you see him in Jason X standing chained up. After Jason X was over Freddy v.s Jason came out. FVJ was made after Jason X but yet I see NO flying cars in the movie. :eek: Did I just prove a point? I think I did.

During it`s first weekend. I believe it was out of the Top 10 after a week or so. "FvJ", on the other hand, stayed in the Top 10 for at least a full month or so. Possibly longer, I don`t remember.

they screwed that up by throwing the series out of whack with having Jason in Friday 9: Jason goes to hell

Well I`ve always hated "JGTH". I think it was a HUGE mistake, a dumb idea to begin with, and it ALMOST killed the whole series. Definetly the worst Jason movie. No argument there.

when he went to hell there was no bringing him back

Okay.......but when I saw Michael Myers get his flippin` head chopped off, I kinda figured there was "no bringing him back". But Akkad and Dimension Films proved me wrong with a stupid far-fetched cop-out explanation in "Resurrection"!

After Jason X was over Freddy v.s Jason came out. FVJ was made after Jason X but yet I see NO flying cars in the movie.


I`m pretty sure "Jason X" doesn`t really fit into the series` timeline. You`re supposed to think it happens AFTER all the other movies (including "FvJ"). "Jason X" was just kind of a silly spin-off movie; again, you`re supposed to think it happens after all the other movies.


:eek: Did I just prove a point? I think I did.


The only thing you`ve "proven" is that you have a smug attitude, and you take these silly slasher franchises WAY too literally.

Do "JGTH" and "JX" ruin the series` timeline and continuity? Yes, they do. But I don`t take these Jason movies very seriously, and I don`t think they`re SUPPOSED to be taken very seriously. They`re just dumb fun.
NOW.........I will admit that the "Halloween" series has come closest to having a continuing, linear storyline............but then THAT was thrown out the window with "H20" ignoring 4-6.

You're taking the F13 series too seriously. Sure, "Jason Goes To Hell" and "Jason X," as well as FvJ, threw the simple storyline from parts 1-8 out of whack. Those last 3 films disregarded the storyline and started afresh. Well, we could just disregard those films and start afresh again in Crystal Lake again in..."Friday The 13th Part XI: Return To Crystal Lake."

It could go like this: "15 years after the events 1989 (never mind that Jason went to New York), Crystal Lake maintains its infamous name; more brutal murders and disappearances have occured, as well as sightings of the infamous psychopath, Jason Voorhees..." See? Simple as that.

Same with Freddy. "Freddy's Dead" and "New Nightmare," and obviously FvJ, threw the simple storyline (last featuring Alice and her son Jacob) out of whack. Therefore, let's ignore those films and go back to the Lisa/Jacob storyline. Jacob would obviously be a teenager by now and he and his friends would be having nightmares... See, there you go. Or, if they wanted to completely go afresh, they could start over with new Elm Street characters, but its New Line's choice.

Now, do I really want New Line to do these films? Half of me does, half me doesn't. Honestly, I thought that FvJ gave dignity back to Fred and Jase, and if New chose for their versus film to end both franchises, then they went out, respectfully, with a bang. I wouldn't mind them going out on that note.

The other part of me recalls that since Freddy and Jason have their dignity back, they could do a couple more SOLO projects. "Friday The 13th Part XI: Return To Crystal Lake" and "A Nightmare on Elm Street 8: The Dream [insert Dream aspect here]"

"Friday The 13th Part XI: Return To Crystal Lake" would have Jason back at Crystal Lake, no question asked. He's just there for the simplicity of the original storyline. There'd be naughty teenagers or college-age youths there on vacation at one of the vacation spots. It would also be winter...snow would mix with blood very...

Now, if they followed this with two more films, there could be, respectfully, 13 official Jason films. The films that followed could be:

"Friday The 13th Part XII: Tommy Jarvis' Return": Years after originally killing off Jason and defeating him (with help) over Crystal Lake, Tommy Jarvis returns to Crystal Lake out of his paranoia to make sure Jason is still dead at the bottom of Crystal Lake...Of course, he wouldn't be! Naturally, there'd be some naughy teenagers/college-age youths partying nearby. Tommy will warn them, but they dismiss his warnings and ignore him... in the end, I could see Tommy sacrificing himself in order to bring Jason down. They'd both die at the end.

and final film would be:

"Friday The 13th Part XIII: The Final Friday (this time, its official)": After decades of brutal murders and disappearances at the infamous Crystal Lake, Jason's own past survivors team up to return to Crystal Lake and rid of the fiend once and for all. The survivors would be:
1) Ginny from "Part 2"
2) Chrissy from "Part 3"
3) Trish Jarvis from "The Final Chapter" (possibly to avenge her brother's death in the previous entry)
4) Megan Garris from "Jason Lives"
5) Tina Shephard from "The New Blood"
6) Rennie from "Jason Takes Manhattan"

This could be the ultimate F13 film. There would be tons of action and brutal fights, with past survivors ganging up on Jason and giving him a hard time. No doubt, 3 or 4 of them would bite the dust, but Jason would officially finished off in the end. In fact, the remaining survivors would carry his body to a canoe, light the canoe on fire and kick the canoe out in the lake. Jason would, in a sense, be cremated over his own lake, never to return again. I think that would a great way to end the series.

Of course, New Line doesn't have to do this. I'd still be happy if FvJ ended the careers of Fred and Jase. But, if they made more F13 films, I would love it if they followed this plan.

H8's budget was only $11 million dollars and in its final earnings, it made $33 million theatrically, 3x its budget. So, it doesn't matter if it was a huge box-office hit or not. They only put a fraction of their $$$ towards the film and made a considerably amount of extra $$$, enough to warrant another theatrical "Halloween" film.

I'm late to this party, but Friday the 13th hasn't been in the same league as Halloween, popularity wise, since the late 80s. Jason X made a third of what Halloween: Resurrection pulled in, despite less competition. And you think people went to Freddy vs. Jason for Mr. Voorhees?

Wolfman
04-22-2005, 12:38 AM
Halloween Resurrection pulled in 28 million domestic, 12 of that on the opening weekend.

Freddy vs Jason pulled in 82 million domestic, 36 of that on the opening weekend.

Debate all you want, but the Friday and Nightmare films are doing far better than the Halloween films, at least financially. The overall financial problems of the Friday movies in the late 80s all had to do with Paramount's dislike of the series.

Regardless, the Halloween 9 that I would want to see would have Ben Tramer come back from the grave (it seems that burning car crash didn't actually kill him) and whoop Michael's ass for stealing his mask. He'd say "Bitch, I was gonna get a piece of that Laurie chick, before you ran her off. Cockblocker!" They'd fight for a bit, then Michael would start to get the upper hand. Just as it looks like Mike is gonna win, Tramer smiles and claps his hands twice. Suddenly, the TV switches on (gotta love the Clapper). Michael turns for just a moment, distracted by the noise, and starts to slowly turn back towards Ben, until a familiar song starts to emanate from the television.

"Happy happy Halloween
Halloween Halloween
Happy happy Halloween
Silver Shamrock"

At this point, Michael grips his mask in pain, and falls to the ground. Worms and insects crawl out of his face and out of the holes in his mask. The end.

At http://www.moviehole.net/news/4154.html they conducted an interview with Dwight H. Little, and they asked him about H9, here is what he said:

He's asked back each and every year, says Little, to helm a new chapter in the series - but he's just not interested. Little directed "Halloween 4". "Halloween 3 Season of the Witch had gone off on a really different direction, kinda putting an end to the franchise, and then about ten years later we were asked to come in and try and come up with a way to bring Michael Myers back. And then once we kicked it off with four, then it's never stopped. Every year they come and ask me to do it. Every year I say 'Look Halloween 4, I honestly believe I did as best as I could do'. I felt so complete about it, I just wanted to leave it alone -but they've gone and done another five or something anyway. They want to bring Jamie (the character in "Halloween 4") back..


This was done around the time ANACONDAS 2 was coming out.

gotta respect the mans decision, though it sucks knowing he'll never do another one, as if ANYBODY has the chance of lifting this series up to be on par with the earlier entries, its him...

Good point......but then again, Freddy hadn`t had a movie in years, so it`s not like he was super popular when "FvJ" came out either.
Quite frankly, I was SHOCKED that "FvJ" was such a hit. I was happy about it, don`t get me wrong, but I thought for sure it would flop because both icons seemed pretty dead.

Could be, but I thought it was Mike getting his head chopped off in H20 too. And bringing up an old subject; FvJ holds a special place in my heart because it was my first horror flick at the theater, and imo it OWNED.:D

Well for better or for worse, Harris IS coming back in Rob Zombie`s new "Halloween" movie......but as a new character, not Jamie.

Whoa, LOL.

Okay, Jamie Lloyd isn't coming back. When JLC returned with H20, the producers WISELY decided to ignore the H4 - H6 trillogy to continue with the Laurie Strode story for "one last time." And it sucks that Jamie Lee Curtis was contractually obliged to appear in Resurrection. In case you haven't heard (which I'm sure you have), Danielle Harris who played Jamie Lloyd (for H4 and H5, anyway), is coming back for Rob Zombie's remake as Annie Brackett.

There is no way Jamie Lee Curtis is ever coming back to this franchise. She is truly DONE with it and I don't blame her one bit.

No human on Earth could survive a sharp piece of farm machinery sawing through their body. Sorry. Laurie Strode merely fell off a roof and people have lived through that before. Totally different story.

She didn't just "merely fall off a roof." She was stabbed in the back with Michael's knife when they fell over the edge. And to add more to her injury, when she turned to Michael to say her final words, she lifted her up and spoke very weakly as if the stab wound was fatal. Yes, people do die from simple stabbings. She seemed dead before she hit the ground.

She did get stabbed in the back, and then fell off a roof. I am saying there's a possibility that Laurie Strode may still be alive, not that it matters as we won't be seeing her character again, besides the remake. If Resurrection can do it to Michael Myers, anything's possible, haha. ;) Believe me, people have survived worse. I've watch a few episodes of Spike TV's Most Amazing Videos, and some come crashing down in airplanes and live. All depends.

It would be nice if Danielle Harris was brought back as Jamie Lloyd and I applaud her for turning down number 6.
It's just a shame that Jamie Lee Curtis was so desperate for a paycheck to give Laurie Strode a less-than-stellar sendoff in Halloween: Resurrection.
