10 Horror Movies Ruined By Fan Overhype
1. Halloween Ends
Because Halloween Ends was the conclusion of a 45-year-old movie saga, the rabid fanbase were desperate for an epic payoff. The horror community were dying to see the final confrontation between Laurie Strode and her tormentor. Most importantly, we needed to witness the death of one of horror's most iconic villains, Michael Myers.
Considering the bad far outweighs the good in the Halloween franchise, you'd assume fans would've been more prepared for disappointment by this point. After all, the previous instalment, Halloween Kills, proved this trilogy was on shaky ground. Nevertheless, many were eager to see how Michael and Laurie's story ended.
And yet, Halloween Ends was worse (and more bizarre) than even the biggest cynics speculated.
We're not talking Halloween Kills bad. Due to Michael's absence and the ridiculous change of direction, Halloween Ends is on par with Curse of Michael Myers or Halloween: Resurrection. It ticked off so many viewers, it inspired a petition, encouraging the director to reshoot the movie. (Yes, disgruntled viewers are expecting Halloween Ends to pull a Justice League.)
Just to be clear, Halloween Ends isn't the worst entry in the series. But because of how much it was built up, it's definitely the most disappointing instalment.
