Greatest Horror Movie of All-Time

Rating: 10/10 (15 August 2000)

Halloween is the best horror movie out there made. I'm the biggest Halloween fan ever since I can remember. When I was 9 years old, I was grounded for some reason on a Saturday night & so I went to my room and I had The Movie Network, I saw that a movie called Halloween 4 : The Return of Michael Myers is coming on...decided to watch, and that's when it all began. Now, i'm a huge fan of the entire series. John Carpenters greatest flick of all time plus the best horror movie ever made. The directing is unbelievable and the music is insane to say the least. The characters are too real as we go into the life of Laurie Strode ( Jamie Lee Curtis ) and Donald Pleasances obsession with the little boy who killed his sister on Halloween night. Michaels rage still sends chills down my spine when I hear the music. Halloween is not like other pointless slashers, in fact Halloween is the original, the rest came afterwards. I know people who watch Halloween now and don't know why i'm so in love with it. It's very simple, most people have seen the modern 90's horror movies and obviously it's much newer than a '79 movie but the mask, the plot, the soundtrack, the directing and Jamie Lee Curtis' first movie which made her a hit is so great that even today I praise its work. As for the rest of the films, I feel the sequel is equal to the original, very well done and very scary and number 3 doesn't matter, but part 4, 5, 6 and H20 maybe ruined the whole story because of Steve Miner. Steve Miner wouldn't know a horror movie if it picked him up at a night club. He absolutely ruined the whole story line when he made Halloween 20 Years Later. I wanna know what happened to Tommy Doyle, Karen and little Danny. I must say but the rest are decent enough to be called horror movies but not the greatest. Other than that, Halloween is a definite must see. A 10 out of 10 with me. Only movies that came pretty close to being as scary as Halloween is Evil Dead, Stephen Kings IT & Pet Semetary as well as I must admit the new and original I Know What You Did Last Summer ( Great example of a great horror flick ruined by the sequel ). I could go on about how great Halloween is and i'll go off by saying horror movies today wouldn't be the same if it wasn't for Halloween.
