Did Mike Myers see this when it first came out?

Rating: 10/10 (26 October 2005)

And if he did, was he unnerved by the use of his name for the murderer, or did he not mind? Oh well, you probably know the plot: Michael Myers escapes from an institution wearing a white mask, and proceeds to start murdering people. But he really has his eye on teenager Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis), while Dr. Sam Loomis (Donald Pleasance) is chasing him.
In the 21st century, slasher movies have become so common that we're almost numb to them. But this one is actually quite cool. Most people probably know that the name "Sam Loomis" is taken from "Psycho" (which of course starred Jamie Lee Curtis' mother). Anyway, this is what horror flicks are all about: pure unadulterated fun.
