A Classic- Through and Through!

Rating: 10/10 (23 October 2006)

Halloween is still my all time favorite horror film- even with the advances in special effects in recent years. Why? Because it's terrifying WITHOUT all the flash and gore! What young girl HASN'T given thought to knife wielding psychos once or twice while babysitting on a cold dark and windy fall night? You can pass by all the sequels.. most of them weren't worth the film they were printed on as far as I'm concerned.. but the original is and always will be a classic. The music alone is enough to produce chills- I look forward to watching it every October and would like to read the book again at some point. Freddy, Jason and Pinhead all have their merits, but it's only Michael Myers who can truly instill fear during a fall daydream.
