I absolutely hated the latest Halloween movie because of that. Oh a rural American town has a serial killer problem? Let’s go out with baseball bats and hockey sticks. Motherfucker people go out with automatic rifles when an unknown car does a U turn using their driveway.

I’m pretty sure the creators of the original film almost wanted a parody of slasher films, which is why it’s so over the top ridiculous at some points lmao
