Great classic horror. Simple but effective. The score is really well done and sets the tone perfectly. You don't know much about Michael Myers and that kinda makes him even more scary. Watching this for the new one coming out and it still is great. There are some great shots of seeing Michael for a second that are really scary. You don't know if he is really there or if you're seeing things. There are some great pov shots, including the oner to open the movie. Again the score is really good. That main theme is so iconic and instantly recognizable.

One of, if not THE best, old-school horror flick! Every horror movie buff has to watch Halloween, even though it looks a little outdated today. The score however passes the test of time, its a perfect match for the movie and still gives me goosebumps. I think this is John Carpenter's best (horror) movie, which is sad, because if he could have repeated what he did with the original Halloween movie, I would have loved his later horror flicks, too!

Pretty frustrating how Laurie puts down the knife right next to Michael and sits and waits next to him instead of … idk maybe getting the fuck out of that house already

Just watched Halloween for the first time and... it’s okay. Obviously I’m sure it was more revolutionary when it came out, but it does not stand the test of time. The directings okay, the acting is subpar, the plot is shallow, and, in my opinion, it wasn’t scary. 5/10 for me.

Well, so I just saw this movie for the first time yesterday. Almost 40 years after it was released. A bit late yeah, but it never really seemed interesting enough to check out. And what can i say? To be honest, I expected the movie to be pretty bad considering how much praise it gets (usually in hor More

When I heard good things about _Scream (2022)_, I decided that it was probably time to go back and watch the original, which somehow I have never seen. However, I also knew that the original _Scream_ was very influenced by and possibly included direct references to many classic slasher films; all o More

One of the best horror movies of all time. Halloween established the tone and cliches for a whole sub-genre, if I were in the 80s making movies this would definitely be one of the main movies to get inspiration. The scene with the pumpkin during the initial credits is awesome and it is complemented More

The whole movie survives on the fact Myers is creepy and the tension builds slowly. It's really simple but well made. Yes it's ridiculous at times but forgivable for the atmosphere. The jumps are well placed. The music may be OTT for some. This may feel slow but the story is paced well at th More
