The Original Scary Movie

Rating: 10/10 (29 April 2002)

"Halloween" has become a seasonal tradition at our house. It isn't halloween season until my family and I settle on the couch, turn off the lights and watch "Halloween" and its' sister movie "Halloween II". I realize that many people think this is a really bad movie, and maybe that's the charm of "Halloween". We love the bad acting, the campy background music, and the silly scenes. This is the original slasher movie, and Hollywood has never been able to duplicate it. Jaime Lee Curtis seems naive and fresh, and I get shivers watching Michael Myers slowly hunt people with that big knife.
