Anti Male
That sums up the negative aura in this disappointing movie. I only liked the glowing jack o lantern parts, the rest bored me.

How is it anti male? Can you elaborate on that a bit?

...because why, again?
shareI guess he means the group of female werewolves killing their male dates and getting away with it while the male killer (the principal) get's punished and killed after he kills some people. That's all I could think of.
shareSam, the icon of the film, is male.
Or at least seems to be, insofar as Halloween spirits have a gender.
What was anti-male in this movie? The principal? He killed at least one girl, probably more, before he was killed by a girl. That seems fairly neutral to me. The other stories that we saw didn't have any strong gender biases to them that I could pick out.

shareI don't know, maybe the vampire girls? Just maybe. Oh, and portraying only middle aged males as loner perverts and psychos as in the last story. I never see a woman play such a role.

They also had the stuck up bratty girl who convinced everyone to make fun of the really weird girl who was way into Halloween stuff. Also, there was there teacher who was creepy and overly sexual when she answered the door to give them candy. None of those roles were very ideal.
Really though, why are you worried about this? Even if this movie had some strong feminist agenda, who cares? Don't waste your life getting working up about vague gender conflicts that may not even really exist.
I don't know
I thought not.

It showed, what, 2 males who were perverts or psychos? Versus a whole group of murdering werewolf girls.

There are no vampire girls. Try watching the film next time instead of getting so upset about an imagined anti-male bias that says more about you than it does the movie you clearly weren't watching.
shareWell said.
This is typical alt-right propaganda so pervasive and omnipresent on internet forums in the last 5 years. It is impossible to visit a movie page on here for instance without coming across some poor dude screaming foul and denouncing what he considers to be a trampling of his manhood and/or racial identity by hordes of social justice warriors (how is that even an insult?) and other "bleeding heart" liberals.
What i find the most amusing about the kind of conundrums conservatives and anti-feminists (i presume) such as OP find themselves in all the time without ever being aware of it, is that while they claim that a bunch of female vampires feeding on male victims is obvious misandry (anti-male sentiment), they deny the possibility that decades of male vampires feeding on unsuspecting female victims could also be seen as the expression of a form of sexism that has existed for centuries, but this time against women.
If the industry today is indeed anti-white and anti-male as they love to claim, that means that they implicitly admit that the same industry was pro-white and pro-male yesterday - read anti-minorities and anti-female - and they do not only say this is perfectly ok, but also that it is exactly how it should be in the best of all possible worlds.
But that simple twist is obviously beyond their reductive black and white interpretation of reality.
People who don't like their beliefs being laughed at shouldn't have such funny beliefs
Stop being a beta male
shareAll movies and shows are anti male.
shareDidn't it also have women that were vampires and werevolves and thus not exactly role models of positive behaviour?
And did the movie ever intend to be INTENTIONALLY either anti-male or sexist etc?
Is REAL life in general, well, anti-male or anti-female, or a bit of both but at the same time neither in particular?
And who are the good guys and bad guys in real life?
How come in real life, being a victim of a lot of things is not only less desireable but often more looked down upon, in some or other ways, than being a perpetrator of such violent crime, or is it not as simple as that, maybe the guilty criminals just don't have the conscience and are laden with a lot more power hence those on the receiving end suffer more than those on the sending start of it all? (And no laws or morals can help it, its just a sad fact of life, right?)
