Still a classic! Nothing comes close!

Rating: 10/10 (7 August 2009)

A man once asked me "how can I scare myself?" I told him to go watch Halloween which coincidentally he never had. Was he in for a good scare!
Yet its funny that after 32 years no other horror movie has captured the power of Halloween. While other horror movies depend on shock value and gore, John Carpenter relied more on mood and atmosphere to keep us in suspense and terror. Throw in a haunting soundtrack and Halloween proves that only a master knows how to craft the perfect movie.
Do yourself a favor, if you have never seen this movie do it immediately. But to get the full sense of the movie, turn down the lights, close all doors, and prepare to be scared.
