Greatest Horror Movie Ever!!

Rating: 10/10 (29 May 2005)

This is and forever shall be the greatest horror movie ever. The greatest part about it is that it doesn't try to use a whole bunch of blood and gore to make it a scary movie. Instead, it relies on chilling music and suspense.
The movie is about a 5 year-old Michael Meyers who was put in an insane asylum for killing his sister on Halloween night in the little town of Haddonfield Illinois. 15 years later, he escapes, heads to Haddonfield, and starts stalking teenager Laurie Strode and her two friends. Dr. Sam Loomis is on Michaels trail because he seems to be the only one to believe that "what's behind that boys eyes is simply and purely evil." I first saw this movie when I was 8 and it scared the hell out of me. I had watched this movie one night and Friday the 13th the next night and Halloween was without a doubt the better one. Don't get me wrong, Friday the 13th was a great movie but this one was better. John Carpenter did a brilliant job directing it and writing the music for the movie. The acting by Jamie Lee Curtis, Donald Pleasance and the rest of the cast was also great. After the original, the Halloween movies started going downhill and started joining the clichÃ©d horror movies of the eighties, which felt they had to rely on blood and gore to have a good horror movie. Halloween 2 and Halloween H20 are the only sequels to be somewhat as good as the original but even they are nearly close to being as good as the first one. This is, and probably always will be my the greatest horror movie ever
