The granddaddy of them all

Rating: Null/10 (11 August 2016)

Halloween was revolutionary at the time for using different camera angles, hardly any blood and a lot of shadow. Michael stalking in the background, driving through neighborhoods and hiding in homes made it seem like he could be anywhere at any time.
John Carpenter was a film student at the time and created a low budget picture that frightened millions of people around the world. He didn't rely on fake outs or cheap scares. John showed a mask less shape through his vision as he slowly walked up the stairs with a butcher knife and carrying a body across the lawn. The tension rising with the Halloween theme playing.
Did the characters really see that masked man or are their eyes playing tricks and it may be a trick or treater. Is the figure under the sheet someone I know? Did the window open or was it the wind?
Donald Pleasence plays the maniac's doctor who tracks down his patient he failed to treat for fifteen years. Sheriff Brackett and Loomis search the neighborhood desperately before the body pile can stack up.
Laurie is an all American girl who lives a normal life and one of her past times is babysitting for the neighborhood kids. Unbeware that her life and those around her will be shaken up.
Instead of seeing the cheap knockoffs, check out Halloween.
