the bogeyman cometh

Rating: 10/10 (18 July 2006)

John carpenters groundbreaking sleeper hit,belongs in the hall of fame of monsters and supernatural killers.it was made with a mere $300.000 i believe.and served as the debut of Jamie lee Curtis who became the scream queen of the 1980's.after this was released a whole bunch of horror films came out,in 1981 they came out of the woodwork.Friday the 13th,terror train,etc;but this was the best.also co stars horror movie legend Donald pleasense,who was around for most of the sequels.there's a lot of suspense,and chills.a perfect movie to watch Halloween night. heres some trivia that most people know,the mask worn by the killer was a repainted William shatner as captain kirk mask.john carpenter made a few hits after this but not as good as Halloween,the second one is heavy on gore,to satisfy the Friday the 13th fans.the 3rd one had nothing to do with the first 2.micheal myers is like a mime from hell. the soundtrack is as memorable as the music from jaws.Jamie lee Curtis along with a few cast members from Halloween starred in the next john carpenter classic;the fog.which was recently remade in 2005.10 out of 10.a classic suspense horror from 1978,not to be missed.check it out.
