The night he came home!!!

Rating: 10/10 (22 July 2017)

Among horror movies released during the 1970s, Halloween became the most profitable and the most popular of that time. Directed by John Carpenter, who made his debut with Dark Star, Halloween takes place around the sacred Holiday and tells the story of Mike Myers, a serial killer who first kills his sister then escapes from prison and goes after a rampage before getting to his next target, Laurie Strode, played by Jamie Lee Curtis in her first major role. Donald Pleasance plays the cop who helps Laurie escape from the Shape, yet at the end he survives, leaving the possibility of a sequel, which didn't outgross the original yet it's the best of the Halloween sequels. I first saw this movie on VHS from blockbuster and enjoyed the music, terror, and suspense of this movie. I then bought the movie on two tape VHS from Anchor Bay for its 25th anniversary with the movie in its scope ratio plus extra features. I then saw the other Halloween movies and the first one is always the best, with H2 and h20 being close. Rob Zombie's version was OK but not great and his sequel failed to live up to the magic of H2.
