Let’s face it, at this point the only thing likely to take down Michael Meyers is the inexorable march of time.

The only way to stop a bad guy with a machete is a good Jamie Lee Curtis with a machete.

Uh… not that I expect horror sequels to make any sense, but didn’t she finally decapitate him in H20?

Another final confrontation?

Nah, this film ignores every other sequel. Including, I think, the first one in the hospital?

They apparently retconned that in another sequel in which they established that she actually decapitated a hospital orderly with whom he had switched clothes. Then he killed her in that sequel. So I guess they’re retconning that too. Nobody knows how to stay dead in this freaking franchise.

Eh, maybe. Obviously the film had a sense of humor, but I just didn’t get the joke of changing “final girl.”
Of course, I first encountered both Men, Women, and Chainsaws and Behind the Mask in college, so concealing borrowed ideas was in the air…
