HALLOWEEN: The Night "HE" Came Home

Rating: 10/10 (21 August 2006)

John Carpenter's Halloween, is one of the best horror movies I have ever seen. I was only 4 years old when I saw it on TNT, and still gets me jumping when I watch it, on a cold night.....You should really try to watch it in the dark. It really shivers your bones when watching the movie, alone especially.
The movies' plot: On a cold night on Halloween, 1963 in the small town of Haddonfield, IL. 6 year old Michael Myers murdered his 17 year old Judith Myers, after having sex with her boyfriend. Afterwards, young Michael was placed in Smith's Grove Sanitarium, awaiting trail until his 21st birthday, but for now is under the care of Dr. Samuel Loomis. 15 years later, on the night of Halloween Eve, 1978. Michael Myers escaped the sanitarium witnessed by Dr. Loomis. Only he knows where he's going, to his hometown Haddonfield for another night of terror in his hometown as he struck 15 years ago, and only Loomis knows what Michael is and that is truly the soul of evil. But what Loomis does not know is that Michael has returned to Haddonfield, only to finish off what's left and that is to kill his 17 year old sister, Laurie Strode. And as her evil brother, of whom she don't remember gets closer to killing her every second. Her only hope is Dr. Loomis, who tracked down Michael Myers down. But little do they know is that nothing this sinister and evil can die that easily.
The success of Halloween has spawned over 7 sequels in the next three decades....
-Halloween II (1981) -Halloween III Season of the Witch (1982) -Halloween 4 The Return of Michael Myers (1988) -Halloween 5 The Revenge of Michael Myers (1989) -Halloween The Curse of Michael Myers (1995) -Halloween H20 Twenty Years Later (1998) -Halloween Resurrection (2002) -and hopefully not lastly an upcoming remake by Rob Zombie, to be released by Halloween 2007.
Although none of the sequels ever had the touching feeling what the original had, they are still fun and scary to watch anyway. Halloween is a true American horror classic, that is still carried on by fans of generations and will keep on coming.
