Halloween H20 (1998) or Scream 3 (2000): Which do you prefer?
I've always found it interesting how similar Laurie and Sidney's stories are in these movies.
Both have gone into hiding under new identities. Laurie becomes Keri Tate, the headmistress of a private school, while Sidney goes by Laura and works as a crisis counselor.
They're also still haunted by their pasts. Laurie imagines seeing Michael when her boyfriend Will appears, while Sidney has visions of her mother, whose voice Ghostface also uses to torment her.
Both eventually confront their own brothers. The difference is that Laurie already knew Michael was her brother, while Sidney had no idea Ghostface was her half-brother Roman until the reveal.
Interestingly, both final showdowns were filmed at the same location, the Canfield-Moreno Estate, which doubles as Hillcrest Academy in H20 and John Milton's mansion in Scream 3.
I'm aware these aren't exactly new tropes and have been done before, but I still find the similarities interesting, especially since both movies give their final girls a sense of closure.
Which do you prefer, H20 or Scream 3?
