And reasonable, which is always nice . . . Ironically, though, this makes
Halloween the most
challenging of the "Big Three" of slasher franchises. After all,
Friday the 13th's Jason Voorhes is (usually) a revenant of some form, meaning the supernatural
definitely exists - and depending on how one accepts the canonicity of the
Evil Dead franchise's "Necronomicon Ex Mortis" being present in Jason's cave/shrine, it's a
lot more prevalent than in
Halloween. Even
without that, there's the
Freddy vs. Jason film (and the scene in "The Final Friday" where Freddy's glove drags Jason's mask away), and the
Elm Street series is
absolutely supernatural . . .
(And amusingly, the
least threatening of the three - at least, to Godafrid. Given the
anti-spirit Charms available to him, he can
literally eat Krueger
and/or his "dream demon" patrons.
