Don't tell Micheal he's not William Shatner

Rating: 4/10 (25 April 2005)

I am not particularly impressed with this movie. John carpenter has done so much better. Not to mention the lack of cheesy blue lightning that stitch my favorite 80's horror movies together. But this is not the stuff that made me hate it when I first saw it. Don't get me wrong, there's enough there to deserve a four but also because of an amusing back story. Don't worry. I'm not crazy, just really bored. C'Mon, I live in Wisconson. So, on to explain my title. Horror geeks across the world know that the famous mask was a William Shatner mask. Legend has it, john carpenter painted it on a whim, and basically rushed through. I, however have a theory. Possibly, Michel myers' mask could be on purpose. Keep in mind that this comment focuses on the first film and no sequels of this film hold water. My theory is that little Micky was a Trekkie. Worst yet, I think he thought he was captain kirk. His sister must of let him in on the sad truth. That hard truth could only be the lack of toupee. Or it could have been another kid dressed as the potbellied captain who isn't a raving lunatic(or severe voyeur). Maybe his sister commented politely on his costume which sent him into a rage. Suddenly, in his eyes, a mustache appeared on her upper lip. Every one he see's from then on out bear the mark of the evil doppleganger so set forth by the annals of Trekdom. MORAL-dressing up like your favorite media character is fun for parties or kinky sex. But it can become a serious addiction. If you or someone you know thinks he's a star trek charter. Get him laid as soon as possible. It may already be to late.
