Greatest Horror Movie Of All Time.

Rating: 10/10 (29 May 2005)

As one person said before and that was "This is the grandaddy of horror movies" and that person was right on!! John Carpenters Halloween has always been a favorite of mine and every time I watch it it scares the hell out of me.
In this movie Micheal Myers is just not another slasher out for blood like Jason or Freddy or the countless other imitators. No he has a purpose and that purpose is to iradicate his entire family and anyone who associates with them. And the only one who can stop him? Dr. Loomis but even the great doctor fails at this at times.
The Movie: What can be said about this classic that already hasn't been said. This horror classic has stood the test of time and its popularity continues to grow even though the sequels are at times down right awful. John Carpenter made this movie to scare the crap out of you, not for gore and endless blood. He achieved this without question. The imitators that have followed don't have the same feel or originality like Halloween even though they have tried.
In closing: You want to see a good scary movie? Look no further then Halloween which is THE classic to which all other horror movies should be judged and they have not even come close. I have yet to see a horror movie match it and probably never will.
