Classic

Rating: 10/10 (30 October 2006)

At a time when the horror genre was turning to more blood and gore, Halloween concentrated on just being a good scary movie. I don't recall a single scene that contained blood. However, the fear that each character was constantly being watched combined with ominous music (excellent work by John Carpenter with an eerie piano/organ combination) was enough to keep me on the edge of my seat throughout.
If you have not seen this horror classic, you're really missing out. Granted, by today's standards it may seem like just another slasher. But for it's time, it stands alone as one of the greatest horror movies ever.
