Big John ( Scott MacArthur) and Little John ( Michael McDonald) simply exist in this heightened reality as everyday people, who just so happen to live in Michael Myers’ childhood home.
With Halloween Kills, the second installment in David Gordon Green’s blood-soaked trilogy, not only are two gay characters given ample screentime, but their story isn’t a punch line and has little to do with any sort of trauma. There has not been a single character which could even be coded as queer 一 until now. I can’t say I’m surprised that it’s taken 43 years for a queer character to pop up in the Halloween franchise.
