The king of all horror films

Rating: 8/10 (14 February 2003)

I must admit I have never been a huge fan of horror. Its the basic plot for most films in this genre and I have kept that opinion for most of my life. That is until I saw John Carpenter's masterpiece Halloween. Could there be a better horror film out there? This has it all, magnifecent and chilling musical score, appealing characters (Donald Pleasance rules!) and plenty of shocks and horrors around every corner (Michael Myers is the scariest monster in the genre, easily beating out Freddy, Jason and Chucky.) All in all a 70's masterpiece from the king of cult hits Sir John Carpenter.
