Really?
Suprising. A point by point break down really shows how close the two endings are.
And when I say close. I mean really close.
1, male and female characters wander off alone
(Bob and Lynda in Halloween, Parker and Lambert in Alien)
2, the male is killed first when the monster picks them up and dispatches them
3, the female is killed second.
4, the main character hears the female killed over a speaker system
(a speaker phone in Halloween, the loud speaker in Alien)
5, goes to their location to see if they are okay
(across the street in Halloween and down the hall in Alien)
6, and finds their bodies positioned in a macabre manner.
(In a bedroom in Halloween, in the coolant room in Alien)
7, the character rushes to escape the carnage
(back across the street in Halloween and to the shuttle in Alien)
8, only for the monster to confront them
(hiding behind a couch in Halloween, standing at the airlock in Alien)
9, and suffer a false death.
(a sewing pin to the neck in Halloween, the Nostromo explosion in Alien)
10, thinking everything is over, the main character lets down their guard, only to be confronted by the monster who was hiding in plain sight.
(Walking up the stairs in Halloween, hiding in the pipes in Alien)
11, the main character hides in a closet
12, and uses the contents of the closet to defend herself
(a coat hanger in Halloween and a harpoon gun in Alien)
13, and the monster is shot out of a door, ending the film.
