halloween

[ROCKY IS COOL]

yesterday after watching Halloween for like the twentieth time I found out something interesting. The reason why Halloween is so special and is different from all other movies in its category it "the shape"lurking in the background. Am I the only one who thinks that or is it just me?

HALLOWEEN (1978) Director John Carpenter revived the slasher genre, which was spawned 18 years earlier by Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 classic "Psycho", with this little masterpiece. "Halloween" is the simple, frightening story of Michael Myers, an evil, soulless maniac who escapes from a mental institution 15 years after murdering his sister Judith on Halloween night, and returns to his hometown (Haddonfield, Illinois), to wreak havoc once again.

The late, great British horror actor Donald Pleasence stars as Michael's spooked psychiatrist Sam Loomis (an obvious reference to "Psycho"), and Jamie Lee Curtis (daughter of Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh, the latter who was THE original Scream Queen in "Psycho") makes her screen debut as teen babysitter Laurie Strode, who is stalked by Myers on that fateful Halloween night in 1978.

Pleasence and Curtis are excellent, and the film's final act, when JLC is stalked and attacked by Myers, boasts some of the most harrowing moments ever captured in a horror film.

A pure classic, although it spawned a countless number of clones and imitations in the wake of its own success, including its own sequels. Director Carpenter created the film's creepy musical score, and co-wrote the screenplay with co-producer Debra Hill.

My grade: A

Halloween is a perfect film, but you know that already so I won't waste anyone's time by going into the details of why.
My Grade: ****

I think "The Shape" is the second best horror villan out there...........
