Yeh its a great horror flick. I think this one and the 2nd one are the best in the series. H20 sucked in my opinion. And halloween 8 sounds like its gonna suck too.

If U think Halloween is good then U should check out BLACK CHRISTMAS. It's a great slasher that tops Halloween, in my opinion.

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 great British horror actor Donald Pleasence stars as Myers's spooked psychiatrist Sam Loomis (an obvious reference to "Psycho"), and Jamie Lee Curtis (daughter of Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh, the latter whom was THE original Scream Queen in "Psycho") makes her film debut as teen babysitter Laurie Strode, who is stalked by Myers on that fateful Halloween night in 1978. Director Carpenter composed the film's creepy musical score, and co-wrote the story with co-producer Debra Hill. Pleasence and Curtis are excellent, and the film's final act, in which Laurie 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. My grade: A
