Classic Horror Halloween

What viewers say

d2freak · 2/10

Well, so I just saw this movie for the first time yesterday. Almost 40 years after it was released. A bit late yeah, but it never really seemed interesting enough to check out. And what can i say? To be honest, I expected the movie to be pretty bad considering how much praise it gets (usually in horror that's a sure sign it's only trendy to like it somehow). But I never expected it to be this bad. - The characters are just a big mess. The acting…

Great classic horror. Simple but effective. The score is really well done and sets the tone perfectly. You don't know much about Michael Myers and that kinda makes him even more scary. Watching this for the new one coming out and it still is great. There are some great shots of seeing Michael for a second that are really scary. You don't know if he is really there or if you're seeing things. There are some great pov shots, including the oner to…

When I heard good things about _Scream (2022)_, I decided that it was probably time to go back and watch the original, which somehow I have never seen. However, I also knew that the original _Scream_ was very influenced by and possibly included direct references to many classic slasher films; all of which I have also not seen. So, in order to fully appreciate whatever nuances may exist within the slasher genre, I must first catch up on all the…

One of, if not THE best, old-school horror flick! Every horror movie buff has to watch Halloween, even though it looks a little outdated today. The score however passes the test of time, its a perfect match for the movie and still gives me goosebumps. I think this is John Carpenter's best (horror) movie, which is sad, because if he could have repeated what he did with the original Halloween movie, I would have loved his later horror flicks, too!

I'm not at all sure what the big deal was with this movie, even when it was first released. I suppose expectations for a good horror movie were much lower...and it probably helped if you were toking a joint while watching this. I only watched it because (1) of the upcoming new film and (2) this is one of the few horror franchises I haven't watched in entirety. I _did_ watch the original many, many years ago but remembered nothing about it other…

So it begins... the long and splintered story that is 'Halloween'. What I loved about the first installment is the greatness in its simplicity. There is no motive, only evil; there are no rules, only chance; and there is no man, only monster. Laurie Strode is an…

One of the very best slashers of all time that manages to capture your mind and attention. This movie makes you feel like your part of the horror and truly picture the kills. A lot of people probably would be surprised to go back and see just how little gore is seen in this movie but how many kills you swear you can remember seeing in full gruesome detail. Michael Myers movements and expressionless behavior just adds to feeling of no remorse to…

I've seen this so many times and I never tire of it. Carpenter and Cundey shot an amazing looking film. They were so patient in setting everything up and not afraid that their audience would lose interest. Love the tributes to Howard Hawks's "The Thing" and to "Forbidden Planet". Horror movies WERE better back then.
