The immortal classic!

Rating: 9/10 (5 September 2019)

I saw this back when I was in high school and the suspence I felt then is still felt today! Great story, characters, and suspence along with an unforgettable score makes Halloween a movie that just ages like a fine wine. It introduced the shape to the world, a shadow behind the old elm tree, a cold face behind the afternoon glare of a windshield... That's the Shape! Donald Pleasence was perfect for the Loomis character and the part and glad they offered him the part and that he accepted. Debra Hill doesn't get the credit she truly deserves and I believe she was instrumental in making Halloween what it became so kudos to Carpenter for hooking her up as his producer! I want to salute Nick Castle for his legendary performance as the shape, after many sequels, no other character that played the shape even comes close to his performance. Halloween is John Carpenter's industry calling card and will always be synonymous with the boogie man!
