A frightening tense horror classic that will always be best remember for its prelude to cliched slasher films and its intense music and cinematography. |

Simply put this film shows that John Carpenter is a Masterful storyteller and a genius behind the camera. From the single continuous shot at the begining till the end, this one is a classic not to be missed. |

This is a classic that should not be missed. It is my all time favorite horror movie. It's super scary and to this day it still creeps me out. I love you Michael Meyers. |

Halloween |
|
The most perfect horror saga created is by far Halloween. Most of the Halloween films were good (1,2,4,7,8,9,10) and they are what started this kind of movie. If it wasn't for Michael Myears being a B.A. then Freddy, Jason, Ghostface, etc never would have come into the picture. |

Halloween is definitely one of the best and scariest horror film ever in my opinion. It is extremely creepy and bone chilling. Watching this in pitch black in the middle of the night will guarantee difficulty getting to sleep. If your looking for perfect horror, this is for you. Now, there are some people who may not like it. Gorehounds and other fans looking for "gnarly and insane" horror. Or in other word, recent hard R scary movies, like Texas Chainsaw Massacre (still a good movie), The Hills Have Eyes, Hostel, and other gory flicks. No, if your only looking for movies like those, this won't work for you. But if your looking for genuine horror, keep reading. This movie isn't superbly intense or bloody, but it is very creepy and suspenseful creating the overall scare level to the max. I... |

What much more can be said about Halloween that already hasn't? Halloween is scary, eerie, creepy, excellent, helped start the slasher sub-genre, one of my favourite horror genre ever, and it accomplished this without showing buckets of gore. John Carpenter truely made film history with HALLOWEEN, which is still scary to this day, 31 years later. To give you an understanding of the rules and foundations of a good slasher..hell, a good horror, here is what you need, and when these were accompllished:
PSYCHO (1960): Alfred Hitchcock started it all here. It was here that Hitchcock introduced two key components to slashers: A memorable killer (Norman Bates) and tone-setting music.
THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE (1974): In his controversial film, Tobe Hooper adopted a theme from PSY... |
