Halloween; the classic horror film

Rating: 10/10 (10 March 2007)

Halloween was directed by john carpenter and produced by Debra hill. the film was licensed under Anchor Bay Entertainment. carpenter was a film student and eventually made his first film Assault on precinct 13 which did well in england. by that time a struggling company Anchor Bay Entertainment had no movies to distribute. so they came up with the idea of Halloween. they asked John if he would do it. john said yes only under one condition,i get my name over the main title.production began in spring 1977. it was a 100 day shoot. they filmed this classic in south Pasadena. the outcome would change horror history for ever.
plot: a young boy named Michael myers kills his sister Judith myers when he was 6 years old. then he was put in an institution for 14 years. on hallows eve 1978 Michael escapes. he stalks who we later find out in the second film his sister Laurie strode he kills her friends in creative ways. the only remaining people are Laurie, Dr.loomis, tommy Boyle,and a little girl..
what makes this film so special is that it has hardly any blood once so ever. this film is based more on suspense and scare rather than death and blood. many people think ''Friday the 13th'' was the first slasher but there wrong. Halloween wasn't either. it started with psycho and then black Christmas and finally Halloween. ''Friday the 13th'' is a rip off of Halloween. Jason voorhees who comes from Friday the 13th is more popular but less suspenseful. in a horror film you don't need blood guts and bones to scare the audience. all it takes is that perfect scare.
the original Michael myers mask was actually a captain Kurt mask from star trek. the pale look on Michael myers is what makes him so scary. there's no emotion. just nothing really. his jump suite adds a nice touch to his suit. but his legacy lives with his infamous butcher knife.
so the next time you go to a store or rent a movie get Halloween. it is truly a masterpiece/classic and i love it for that. if u don't like Halloween somethings wrong with you. so get a bag of popcorn and enjoy Halloween.
