Was there a reference to every other Halloween movie?

I've thought this too, let's try to find at least one for each of the others.

I'm tired as I type this, so forgive me ones I miss, not going to overthink, and only going to do one for each ;)

Original: fate scene, when Allyson is in class

II: When he's wandering around the neighborhood and steals a knife

III: Masks are shown in one scene

4: gas station

5

6:

H20: alcohol as you mentioned, and bathroom

Resurrection:

remake:

2: the bus crash and subsequent pick-up truck scene

add on everyone

no replies please...

I may list some of those mentioned already but oh well...


Original: there are numerous references to it that it deserves its own thread.


II: Michael lurking around the neighborhood and going into that poor woman’s home. “Harold, do you want Mayonnaise on your sandwich?” Lol. Michael bumps into a boy with a boombox. Also the fiery finale with Michael “possibly” burning.

III: Kids are seen wearing the Silver Shamrock masks when Laurie arrives and tells everyone to go.

4: The gas station scene. The gas station itself almost looks like a recreation of the one in H4. On top of that, Allyson’s boyfriend cheating on her was like Brady and Rachel all over again.


5: Officer Francis and Richard. The two cops bickering about their food was just like watching the two bonehead officers from Halloween 5. A clear nod. What’s more, Allyson’s friend, Oscar, wore a very similar Halloween costume to Samantha from 5.

Curse of MM: Michael’s new psychologist, Dr. Sartain, turning out to be evil (it came out of nowhere) a la Terence Wynn. Both docs had similar motives and Sartain, like Wynn, is said to be the one who set Michael free in the first place. Another 5-6 reference is something you can catch even in the trailer... when Dana is on the toilet, on the stall you can see there’s graffiti that includes the Mark of Thorn. U gotta look closely.

H20: Obvs the encounter with Michael in the filthy restroom. As for Laurie’s drinking in this film, I don’t know if it was meant to be a direct reference to H20. It is only natural that her character developed a drinking problem after her trauma. Yes, it could have very well been a reference.... but the restroom scene is one that I’m positive was intentional.

There’s probably more.

And lastly, this is unrelated to the previous movies, but I gotta say I LOVED the fact that Repo Man (1984) was playing when Vicky was babysitting.

The dad talking about having peanut butter on his penis was probably a reference to the bagel scene from the Rob Zombie remake. They were both cringeworthy.

Original-michael falling over balcony then disapears,this movie reverses it with Laurie doing the same
