STORY

The film takes place at a Catholic boarding school, of sorts, where Jamie Lee is the head mistress and her son is a student. While the rest of the kids are away for a Halloween weekend vacation, he and his friends stay behind to have a private party of their own, unbeknownst to Jamie Lee and her school counselor boyfriend, played by Adam Arkin, who also have to stay behind to care for the school. What follows is mostly obvious, but it doesn't take the same path to that end that you might expect.

Its said to show another side of Michael, bloodier than the recent SCREAM movies and enough suspense to keep you on the edge of your seat! With a big show-down in the end with Jamie Lee Curtis, we are all wondering who lives and who dies! If you happen to see a test screening of this movie, DO NOT send me the ending I DO NOT want to know! I want to be surprised like everyone else! I just hope Michelle Williams gets it bad! That girl gets on my nerves=)


The Michael that you've seen in the Halloween trailer won't be the
same Michael you will see in the movie. The film's director and Jamie
Lee Curtis were not happy with the way Michael looked. They
changed the mask to make it look more like the way it did in the first
Halloween film. Below is a side to side comparison.
This is the old-but yet still cool mask
This is the new and improved mask!


CLICK 4 THE OPENING SEQUENCE!!!

News today from a source claiming to be on the H20 set has said the opening sequence has been changed for the better. The basic outline of the description posted here a few days ago is correct, though the details have been drastically altered.


RUN-DOWN of the TRAILER

NEW as of July 4th, 1998
Oh-my-gawd! I saw the coolest trailer EVER the other day! It was shown a the beging of the second part of the movie Intensity Fox was showing. Halloween 7 was sponcering the movie and there was this long ass trailer for H20!!! It was sooooo cool! There were sooooooo many scenes from the movie. Running, screaming, the shape, Laurie hitting the shape with an AXE!!!! Ugh!! I was yelling and screaming out of excitement the whole way through!! There is no way in hell I'd be able to tell you a play by play of the trailer because I was too excited and watching to take notes=) BUT, all I have to say is I hope you all get to see it because it was way too cool for words!=)

I am sure you've all seen the cool trailers for Halloween H:20 by now, but just in case you haven't seen it yet-CLICK HERE to see it in quicktime format. Even if you have seen it-see it again! I know you want to! Its just way too awesome=) hehe, sorry, the movie comes out in a couple of days from the time I am writting this and I'm like jumping out of my pants excited to see it=)


Now, I didn't see the first trailer personally, but here is what someone else who had seen it, had to say:

After the "Dimension Films" logo disappeared from the screen, the creepy Halloween music began--not the main title, but that piano slowly churning out that "up down up, up down up" tune. We start seeing vacated interiors of a house. There's some narrative, but quite honestly, I can't remember any of it because at this point I was a little too excited just seeing the trailer. In one shot, we see an open closet, and it looked like it might have been the closet from the first film, but I can't be sure. Finally, we see Jamie Lee Curtis (yes!) looking into a mirror, and when the camera pans to the mirror's reflection, we see The Shape/Michael Myers staring back at her! The screen goes black, and "Jamie Lee Curtis" appears in that orange Halloweenish font across the screen, followed by a very large "H2O" on the screen. Above H2O reads "Halloween", below H20 reads "20 Years Later" or "20 Years After" (again can't remember which). So apparently, they are dropping the "Halloween 7" title, which I for one am glad since episodes 4-6 were, in my opinion, garbage. It wasn't much, Harry, but for any Halloween fans, it was enough to get the blood pumping. :-)


Here is a better synopsis of the trailer:

"The Dimension Films logo flashes across the screen and fades to black. The low bellowing score used in the trailer for "Halloween 6" plays up slowly. Titles fade in on the screen and fade out: OCTOBER 31, 1978....HALLOWEEN....DEVIL'S NIGHT....HIS NIGHT! Suddenly the Halloween music blasts up and we see a short, dark-haired Jamie Lee Curtis running through the campus of a private school. She slips and screams as a silver knife slashes into the now black screen. Cut to a shot of Michelle Williams walking down a dark hallway. We can hear the shape's heavy breathing behind her. NARRATOR (voice-over): "This October is the night when only the lucky will go home" We see a shot of the new Michael. He appears behind Michelle, she turns around a let's out a blood curdling scream. We fade to black to see the film's title rip across the screen: "H20" That's all that's seen is H20 and it's replaced with: "DEVIL'S NIGHT 1998"


Soundtrack

A Miramax source says that 'Brother Cane', 'Marilyn Manson' and 'Busta Rhymes' are recording original songs for this upcoming Jamie Lee Curtis horror flick.


REVIEWS

Here are reviews from people who have attended some of the very first test screenings of Halloween 7: H20! Again remember, If you happen to see a test screening of this movie, DO NOT send me the ending I DO NOT want to know! I want to be surprised like everyone else! More reviews will be posted as they come in.


"I attended an unbeleavable first screening of Halloween H20 aka Halloween 7 20 years later, staring Jamie Lee. I'm thrilled to say that this new movie is the greatest Halloween since part 2, which I know isn't saying much, because the others sucked so badly but this one makes up for all the problems with 3-6. This really is part 3. From start to finish it was just a mind-blowing movie. And although they seemed to tone Mike Myers down a little and made him a little more caring toward people, it still had the energy that part 1 had. Yes, I'm comparing it to part 1 which is the greatest horror movie of all time! It is just as good! Despite its cheep and lame opening scene it is still great. I don't want to give too much of the plot away because it is full of suprises but I will tell you this: Jamie Lee playes her old character 20 years older, under a new name with a 17 year old son. She is now Dean of a private school and it is getting very close to Halloween night.

Needless to say that Mike Myers tracks her down and begins to knock people off one-by-one trying to get closer to Jamie Lee. The last 45 minutes is basicly Jamie and Mike in a fight to the finish that is soooooo fantastic that it left the crowd screaming for 5 full minutes. You will be so satisfied with the movie's final scenes that you will have a whole new respect for the series that you'll consider it a trilogy. I swear! (Oh and Mike Myers (the actor) has a cameo on the TV. A scene from So I married an Axe Murderer)."
