She’s Back for BLOOD 💀 My First Time Watching Halloween H2O (1998)

Twenty years after the original massacre in Haddonfield, Laurie Strode (played by the legendary Jamie Lee Curtis) is back — and she’s no longer running. Living under a new identity as Keri Tate, the headmistress of a private California school, Laurie is haunted by the memories of her brother Michael Myers (Chris Durand) who slaughtered her friends on Halloween night in 1978. But this time, she’s ready to face her past once and for all.

This intense, fast-paced sequel brings the Halloween franchise full circle — blending psychological horror, tension, and a fierce final confrontation that cements Laurie as one of the greatest final girls in horror history. 💀🔥

Joining the cast is Josh Hartnett in his film debut as John Tate, Laurie’s rebellious teenage son, and Michelle Williams as Molly Cartwell, his supportive girlfriend. Adam Arkin plays Will Brennan, Laurie’s romantic interest and fellow teacher, while LL Cool J brings humor and charm as Ronny Jones, the security guard with big writer dreams.

Directed by Steve Miner (who also directed Friday the 13th Part 2 and Warlock), Halloween H2O: Twenty Years Later resurrects the slasher energy of the original with a sleek, late-’90s style — think Scream vibes, but with the ultimate showdown between Laurie and Michael.

🔪 ABOUT THIS REACTION

In this reaction, I dive headfirst into the Halloween H2O chaos — screaming, laughing, and maybe throwing a pillow or two at the screen. 😂 You’ll see my genuine first-time reactions to every jump scare, shocking kill, and tense hallway chase as Laurie and Michael finally come face-to-face after two decades of silence.

I’ll also share my thoughts on the themes of trauma, survival, and motherhood, and how Laurie’s transformation mirrors the real-world resilience of horror icons — and women who refuse to be victims
