This film is amazing and a must see for all horror film fans

Rating: 10/10 (23 December 2010)

When John Carpenter was making this film he had no idea that it would be one of the most amazing horror films ever made! The basic plot for this film is that Michael Myers escapes a mental institution after 15 years of being there for killing his sister in 1963. Well he escapes and goes to Haddonfield (his old home town)and as you can predict he kills a bunch of people. But why did he just kill teenagers not to mention only 1 of them is a boy. Did Michael just hate women? Anyway John Carpenter decided that gore just made people go "eeewwww...." and he wanted a different reaction from the audience so what better than a bunch of jumpy scenes and little gore at all? So this is one of few horror films that focuses on suspense and jumpy scenes rather than gore.
The later films focused more on gore and weren't as successful and were just plain crappy.
Don't watch any of the other films in the series just think that this is the first and last Halloween film ever. AND STAY AWAY FROM THE ROB ZOMBIE REMAKES! By the way the ending is one of the best endings in horror history! GO CHECK IT OUT!
