The Beginning of Slasher-Horror

Rating: 10/10 (18 June 2007)

"Halloween", as most or all of us know, is set upon an allegedly small, quiet, and peaceful town, disturbed by the ominous force of a returning killer, Michael Myers. Fifteen years ago, Michael murdered his older sister, then was sent into a mental institution in 1963. He escaped that institution in 1978, and returned to that small, quiet town, known as "Haddonfield", Illinios. The night of his return is the night that his only other sibling, Laurie Strode sees the terror that has lived in her family for fifteen years.
It is, in fact, "the night he came home".
I saw this film when I was about... twelve or so. I had seen the "Friday the 13th" movies, but Halloween was the movie that provoked my everlasting love of horror films. "Halloween" is by far, even after three years and hundreds of other horror films, (no exaggerations), my absolute favorite stalker/slasher movie.
John Carpenter's best work is already among us, as has been already for over twenty-five years.
