Make you sure you don't denigrate 'Halloween: H20' around Jamie Lee Curtis

While it might seem like the 2018 edition of Halloween is taking the franchise on a completely new path, it's actually following some familiar footsteps. In 1998 the clumsily titled Halloween H20: 20 Years Later marked the long-awaited return of Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode. Like Halloween (2018), it jettisoned the plots and developments of previous installments and also transformed Strode from merely a victim at mercy to the whims of Michael Myers into a person who seeks revenge for the trauma he's caused. So while Halloween isn't in undiscovered country, it has done what H20 didn't do in that it executed those kind of changes in a better manner. Even Curtis herself has acknowledged the shortcomings of the 1998 sequel, describing it as a "paycheck" movie. That doesn't mean she isn't a willful defender of the movie, however as we found out when she chatted with Yahoo Entertainment.
