Does Anyone Have Any Original Halloween Ideas?

I think that horror movies should come out at different times in the year instead all at once. Every year they make horror movies for Halloween. These movies are always basically the same. There is always a psychotic killer who is trying to kill a innocent person, usually a teenage girl, and then the killer dies in the end. The only movie that does not fit into that plot line is Saw. Saw is no better than the others though.

The movie Halloween came out a year or two ago. This was like the 11th remake of the movie. The original Halloween had almost ten sequels, which just got worse and worse as they went on. The new one was not that bad it was better quality than the the sequels that came out (every Halloween) for years, but it was not as good as the original. The only thing that was better than the original was that they showed how he became a killer through his childhood instead of skipping fifteen years. In August Halloween 2 came out, which means they are probably going to make an insane amount of new Halloween movies. Overall I think that the Halloween series is better than some of the other horror movies that come out at the end of every October.

Another movie that they made way too many sequels for was Friday the 13th. Friday the 13th was about Jason, who just killed everyone instead of going after one person, like in Halloween. If Jason tried to kill you it would be better to kill yourself before he could get to you because they way he killed people was horrible. There was a remake of this movie last year that was really good. I thought that it was better than the original movie, mainly because of the effects and the people in the movie. I think that Friday the 13th will become a popular Halloween movie franchise again and we will see another sequel in the near future.

Sometimes they take characters from different horror movies and put them in the same movie, such as Freddy vs Jason. This was almost the worst movie ever. First of all it was a bad idea because neither one of them can die. It was a whole movie where they tried to kill each other and in the end they both survived. I do not ever know haw they met each other since Jason lives on some camp somewhere and Jason lives in peoples dreams but some how they got together and had a death match. The movie was really long too, it was not like a short 1-1.5 hour movie where they just kept attacking each other, there was actually a story and it was almost two hours.

Who ever thought to make Saw is probably insanely rich. For some reason the Saw series is huge. Last Friday Saw VI was released. I only watched Saw I and could not even see a reason to make a second one, all it is about is some jerk kidnapping people and killing them is horrible ways. Apparently in Saw V the killer was killed by someone, but now in Saw VI he is somehow alive again and killing people. At least people in Canada are starting to realize the insanity of the Saw series. On the opening weekend for Saw VI it only made 900 thousand dollars in Canada and was beaten by Law Abiding Citizen, Where the Wild Things Are, Couples Retreat, and Paranormal Activity. Unfortunately Saw VI was #2 in the box office for North America, making $13.78 million. I think that all six are stupid and they come out with new ones too fast.

Halloween movies are good on television. A Halloween movie that is on Family Channel every year is the Halloweentown series. There were four Halloweentown movies, they are about a family of witches who live on Earth but go travel to another dimension filled with all of the things we dress as for Halloween who live in peace away from humans in Halloweentown. Another Halloween movie from Family is Twiches. Twiches is about two teenage girls who find out that they have a twin and they are both witches and they go do magic stuff and save their real family who lives in another world from evil people. A classic Halloween movie that is on most channels around Halloween is Betelgeuse, it was just an excellent movie and everyone should watch it at some point.

Overall I think that most Halloween movies are too similar and you can imagine what it going to happen, so they are not that scary. Halloween, Friday the 13th, The Nightmare on Elm Street and Saw are only the beginning of the list of movies that are remakes or sequels or are just the same as any other horror movie. Some of the other would be The Grudge, The Ring, The Omen, Orphan, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Amityville Horror, Twilight or Jeepers Creepers. Personally I would rather watch a TV show that is centered around horror themes, like Supernatural. Halloween movies are good but they need to come up with some new original ideas and make more money like they are doing with Paranormal Activity or like they did with The Blair Witch Project. There are too many Halloween movies that are all the same!
