Haunted my dreams for years

Rating: 10/10 (23 March 2012)

I don't know what is was about this movie, but it just chilled my spine the first time I saw it as a young teen, and it took YEARS to get Michael Myers out of my nightmares.
"Halloween" is the first infamous slasher film to come out after "Psycho." Almost in the same formula of a mystery but brutal multiple murders have defined it to the genre known as slasher. Followed by countless sequels, the 1978 original still remains as one of the creepiest movies ever. What helps that is the brilliant direction of John Carpentar setting the story during the autumn season and even though horror is amidst; it is still looking to crisp and clear. The score which has also become infamous, along with fresh performances give moviegoers a treat they will never forget. The story follows Dr. Loomis whose patient Michael Myers has escaped. He fears the anniversary murder of his sister is going to bring him back to his hometown for more terror.
