YES! I don't even care if you guys won't like it, I'm just glad to see you all react to it

beefjerkywizard

Great choice! I can't wait to watch this one!

JoeySnowyNoey

That bus scene is still one of the creepiest things I ever saw in a movie. Just imagining myself driving up to that in the middle of the night gives me the chills!

djKENTO

Fun fact for our Trekkie Simone… the mask Michael Myers wears is an off the shelf halloween makes of William Shatner aka Captain Kirk from 1975. It was made by the Don Post Studios mask company and today the vintage mask untouched goes for around 400-500 bucks.

MikeBdrx

Rob Zombies remakes are really good too

Actuarial Lurker

George was correct- this is the SOURCE of MANY horror tropes- un-killable evil guy, victims are teens having sex, lots of gore, set up for sequel, people running into obvious places where they can get killed

Actuarial Lurker

Twist on Oedipus- little brother wearing Capt Kirk mask kills sister fro having sex and then returns to kill others having sex

Actuarial Lurker

The criminal psychiatrist is actor Donald Pleasence- he was in the 1963 The Great Escape, the 1966 sci-fi cult classic Fantastic Voyage, Blofeld from James Bond's 1967 You Only Live Twice.,the President in cult classic Escape from New York, and has decades of TV and film B-movie horror

Actuarial Lurker

He is evil in a sense that Javier Bardem was the personification of evil in No Country for Old Men

redddfer44

This movie really has no effect on me, but I'm interested to see what you guys think! I got the hot dog fingers reference as well!

MacGuffinStuff

Yeah this was a trend setter, most people nowadays don't find it scary, even I didn't when I first saw it as a kid because I'd already seen movies like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Hellraiser, A Nightmare..., etc., but it really set off the 80s teen slasher craze, and Jamie Lee Curtis' career. Also, I love John Carpenter movies for so many reasons but especially his original music, he's great at setting a tone with it. Fun fact, the Myers' House is still in South Pasadena, California, I think there's a museum too.

"Halloween II" (1981) was written by John Carpenter and is pretty good. That and the 2018 reboot I hope you would get to at some point. All the other sequels... EHH, in my opinion. 🎃

Carpenter originally wanted Halloween to be an anthology series of films. But the producers wanted another Michael Myers movie, so Carpenter wrote Halloween 2 and was allowed to do his own thing with 3 (Season of the Witch has nothing to do with Michael Myers). But Season of the Witch flopped because people just wanted Michael Myers (I personally think thay film is a fucking gem), so the anthology idea was shelved. Carpenter had little to do with the series from that point on. I love this franchise but there's a few proper duds along the way. We don't get much horror on Cinebinge outside October, no need to fill those slots with middling Halloween sequels:)

I agree with Season of the Witch, it captures the spirit of Halloween so well but gets dismissed because no Michael Myers. The Silver Shamrock jingle lives in my head every October.

megamoo chilli

I was just looking it up when you guys said it. Jamie Lee Curtis was 20. Her two friends she walks home with were 28 and 29. High school kids.

Chase Lonnergan

Which are the good ones? Halloween Halloween 2 Halloween H20 Halloween (2018) Halloween Kills

Cincassette

This is the first time in ages I actually got Simone's intro reference.

Funny That
>>120158538

True enough. If you want to bluff-like-you-know horror movies from the back quarter of the 20th century, this is the one to go for. (Of course there are many original/different horror films from that time too, but this one got ripped-off a lot of lots of lotting times).

China Andronicus

Dr. Loomis was actually named in tribute to Sam Loomis from Psycho, the boyfriend of Marion Crane, who was played by Jamie Lee Curtis' mother. Carpenter also did the music for this film, which is so cool, especially considering how iconic it is. Jamie Lee Curtis is the scream queen because she got her start in horror. If you look up her background, she was in so many (this, the Fog, Prom Night, Terror Train, etc).

FischerMax98

Great reaction to a great movie. IMHO... Part 1. Great. 2. Really good. 3.Very different and very polarizing in opinions. (No Michael Myers, so.. 4. Very good. 5. Not good. 6. Not good, regardless of version. 7. (H20), good. 8. Not. Rob Zombie reboot # 1. Good. #2. $#it. Newest Trilogy (Wipes out all movies except the first one) Meh. Again just my opinion. Plus I'm a Friday The 13th man, as silly as they became later.

Poddington

Hotdog fingers - I got that reference :D

Poddington
>>120171934

A while ago I watched most of the old 80s horror franchises and Friday 13th was the most consistent, even if it did get somewhat sillier. Halloween was second though.

Odd Thomas

2 is awful. 3 is good but no Michael Myers. The rest of the 80s/90s sequels are awful. I loved the Rob Zombie remakes but the trolls LOVE to go after people for saying that. Then you got your 2018 reboot/sequel trilogy which is patchy but overall I liked all of them.

Odd Thomas

Other great Carpenter movies: Christine and Starman

ben yosi

Jamie Lee Curtis is in the first one,h:20 and the last two.

Logan Kerlee

Posting this here so I don't take up a long bit with my book of a comment for this reaction! xD Long story short though, SUPER enjoyed this one and I'm glad that you both watched. :) Oh - derp. Thought that it'd only be shown if someone clicked on the dealio. My bad!

Logan Kerlee
>>120180191

Good memory, George! hahaha, I'm going to enjoy this reaction! NOTE: I am SCARED of this movie. I am such a wuss when it comes to horror movvies, you guys. xD YET I WATCH THIS NONSENSE ANYWAY! I'm loving your predictions! lmao, love your forgetfulness Simone! :P This movie George IS horror. It's dated, yeah - but it's scary! Don't become overconfident because it's an old one. If you do that, I'll keep on suggesting Texas Chainsaw Massacre. xD You'll see the origin of horror themes and tropes here. :) THIS MUSIC IS FREAKY!! Wow.. xD lol, I don't think it will, no. This movie doesn't really have jump scares like mdern movies - if I'm remembering right. It's just scary as hell. xD lmao, love the intro scene with the windows. Neither of you commented on the hand being a child's hand? What the hell? xD Still after picking up the mask, no comment on the hand? The shocked look on both of your faces with the reveal! xD hahahaha, awesome! I'm glad you both dug the intro. :) The creepy sounds while in the car! lmao, George! I sincerely hope you'll be able to keep this reaction filled with laughter. Good job Simone! Keep your ears on. :) lmao, George, this is 78! Nobody cared about crippled people then. "Fate never changes" in the classroom. lmao, love it! "Shut up - Linda!" lol, way to cut me out of the guesses - GEORGE! :P I agree George! They did a phenomenal job with building tension to cause future scares in this movie! And nope - Simone - there's nothing special about Michael Meyers other than being one freaky ass dude! Oh - and there's no way it coudld've been him calling. lol, cell phones and cordless phones didn't exist in '78. lmao, Simone! That's a good thought, but you have to remember that this movie's taking place on Halloween. There's bound to be creepers out and about on that day. I'm sure the cops would listen then disregard the call. xD Dementia's a lot more than just memory loss George! lol, the music will definitely be a problem but I'm sure you'll figure it out. lmao, about time Simone! xD Now, wearing it throughout the day may be odd but it's not a huge deal because yeah, it's Halloween. FUCK! lmao, that jump scare got me! "Where buddy's coming back!" lmao, calling him buddy, yikes. xD Doggo in Terminator makes me a sad panda. :( This one's worse - showed it right after the fact. With the doggo slumping lifelessly in his grip. Laurie's such a sweet babysitter. Jamie Lee Curtis did a fantastic job playing this role! Infinite props to her for that. lol, no - she just got stuck in the window! A low Dex score will do that to ya. :P Her death in the car was pretty weak. Where was the blood?! He slit her throat I'm guessing and there was nothing. DansGame "Death has come to your town, Sheriff." That's a VERY quality line in a horror movie. GEORGE! lmao, don't bring Jeffery up unless you're going to explain the whole thing. xD lol, and I think that whole "Are you okay Annie" did come from this movie! I don't remember for sure though. They're watching tv, George! Though, I'm pretty sure that's what you were talking about. hahaha lol, guys had no endurance back in the day. :P I really liked how Michael just tilted his head back and forth with his fresh kill. I'm actually not sure if that mask was made for this film or not. lmao, low stats all over this movie! First the girl with the low DEX and this dude with a piss poor Perception. xD lol, this kids is why you prioritize your stat/skill allocation! lol, It's a whole other breed of horror movie. Killing children was a no go even then. lol, good job George! Recognizing that that's why they did that earlier. :) I SWEAR TO GOD, IF SIMONE GETS A SCARE IRL I'M GOING TO FLIP OUT! xD hahahaha, that would be so rad. I don't think Simone has mean friends though. The final fifteen minutes. :) Those doors aren't super strong or anything. His strength is ludicrous but that amount of strength isn't 100% necessary to break that type of door. Being fair - the pin that she stuck him with went it pretty deep! Enough to kill him though? Not so much. xD lol, good job using your eyes George! There was no blood on the blade. lmao, yup - Simone! She has no points in Listen. xD He's just SUPER motivated to complete his task! Not superpowered but instead yeah, just pure evil. Now - I don't have any experience with this series other than this. I've got no idea if he was intended to be super powered in this. SIMONE!! YOU DON'T KNOW WHO ROB ZOMBIE IS?! DansGame xD hahahaha, I'm disappointed. :P Michael Meyers' strength is next level. lol, bending corpses like that - yuck! I'm pretty sure that none of the Halloween movies are laugh out loud funny. The Scream franchise spoils horror movies in general. Very fun watches but yeah, you've gotta watch these first. It's a rite of passage sort of deal. Anyway, yeah, this movie wasn't all that scary to watch. Though - I was watching during the morning with my lights off but there was a fair bit of light coming through my windows' blinds. Yeah, no - aside from that one jump scare I wasn't all that scared durnig this rewatch. Really enjoyed this one! :)

Jake Dinkel

2018 is a direct sequel to the 1978 original. It un-canonizes the other sequels. You can go right to 2018 IMO. I love the franchise, but there's nothing groundbreaking that you need to see.

sol stapleton

highly recommend (2018) reboot, kills is pretty good, ends is not

Odd Thomas

"So is he supernatural?" Characters literally refer to Michael as the Boogeyman like ten times. So...yes.

Elder Lyons
>>120185780

by "people" you mean 1 child after hearing a scary story from other children? and how would referring to a person you've only seen in the distance as boogeyman automatically make him supernatural. Until the movie actually showed it in the final 10 seconds, theres no way any character or S&G would know.

KnittingHaven

Fans have varying opinions on which ones are worth watching. I like all of the Jamie Lee Curtis ones the most, basically the H2O continuity (Halloween/Halloween II/ Halloween H2O/Halloween Resurrection) and the modern reboot continuity (Halloween/Halloween 2018/Halloween Kills/Halloween Ends). If you had to narrow that down more, I would pick Halloween II, Halloween H2O, and also the first of the modern movies, Halloween 2018, which is a direct sequel to the very first movie. For me, Halloween Resurrection is one that is so bad it's good, I really enjoy watching it (and it has Katee Sackoff!), but a lot of people hate it.

George, If you were with me, you wouldn't be here in this strip club shaking it for dollar bills!

🖤I'm sure others may have pointed this out but I'm not in the scrolling mood, but the mask was a Star Trek Captain Kirk mask. They knew Michael was going to wear a mask but didn't have anything specific in mind. Someone just went out to find a mask they felt would work, liked the captain kirk mask, painted it white, and cut the eye holes bigger. William Shatner was shocked when he was told he was the face of Michael Myers LOL

MacGuffinStuff

I haven't seen all the Halloween movies and I'm gonna echo some others here but I think you should watch part 2 because it continues this movie, and I haven't seen the third but I have heard that although it's a departure from the Michael Myers storyline, Season of the Witch is supposedly a solid horror movie and I'm interested in it too. I personally did not care for the Rob Zombie reboot movies, in my opinion his first movie, House of 1000 Corpses, is his best movie, and I do recommend that one. I recommend watching Texas Chainsaw Massacre first though because House of 1000 Corpses is kind of an homage to a lot of horror movies but I think specifically it has a real TCM feel to it. Actually, now that I think about it, Bill Moseley is in both the Texas Chainsaw Massacre part 2, which is bonkers (recommend), and House of 1000 Corpses, and he's also got a small but notable part in the 1990 Tom Savini remake of Night of the Living Dead, which I also recommend.

Kinokind

One could write books about this. There's so much to say. Carpenter and co-writer Debra Hill never intended there to be a sequel. It was always intended to be a one-off, which is why there was no Carpenter involvement past #2. First, it is not exactly the "seminal" slasher film it is made out to be, since it is predated by Bob Clark's "Black Christmas" (1974), and it is said that Carpenter asked Clark if he would mind him doing a similar holiday-themed horror movie. And before "Black Christmas" there was "Psycho" and the Italian "Giallo" films, which also featured mysterious violent murders. "Halloween" made so much money on its meagre budget ($47 million on a budget of around $300,000) that it got the attention of other producers. One of them was the production company that would create "Friday the 13th". But they took away the wrong message from "Halloween's" success. They assumed that what made "Halloween" popular was a hidden killer viciously murdering teens - what critic Roger Ebert called a "dead teenager movie" - live teenagers go in, dead teenagers come out. The walked right past the good script, interesting direction, brilliant cinematography (by the great Dean Cundey - later to do "Back to the Future", "Apollo 13", "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", etc.), who pioneered using blue light to represent stylized darkness in "Halloween", and assumed it was the murders that appealed to "the kids". In reality there is virtually no blood in "Halloween", let alone gore (Bob is pinned to a wall with a knife, but where's the pool of blood?). Unfortunately, the "Halloween" producers, seeing the success of the gory "Friday the 13th", wanted the same for their sequel, "Halloween 2", and the parade of gory slasher films we all know so well was launched. The supposed rules about sex and drugs are not a thing in"Halloween". Laurie smokes a joint, and only two of her friends have sex. Carpenter himself said it's not a morality tale. The reason people die is that they're not paying attention, but Laurie is. My personal take on "Halloween" is this: it isn't a slasher film, it's a nightmare. It is our nightmare. It has the structure of a nightmare. Things are constantly happening that defy logic, and I don't think it's a mistake. Sex in both cases takes under a minute. We see the masked figure wearing the mask before the police even shut off the alarm at the hardware store. A cop doesn't smell dope in a car. The car trails one car length behind but somehow is never spotted. And look closely, the interiors of the houses do not match their exteriors in door and window locations, etc. It's not a mistake, all of the adjacent houses are used, but Carpenter swaps the interior of one, with the exterior of another. And the most telling: Laurie sees "The Shape" amongst the clotheslines, and then he's gone. She doesn't look away, we do, and then he's gone. This is clearly impossible. There are many, many more examples. I think Michael Myers isn't even in this movie. Michael Myers was a little boy before the movie begins. Whatever kills his sister isn't Michael. He's gone. The thing that kills his sister is Evil. Even in the script, the killer is called "The Shape", never Michael. People call him Michael, but it isn't him - it's Evil. He attaches himself to Laurie simply because she goes to the house - no other reason. That's what is so frightening, there's no logic, she did nothing wrong, she just went to the house and he saw her. And why does he set up the tombstone tableau? To mess with her. Why does he pretend to be dead? To mess with her. Why does he miss when he strikes with the knife at point-blank range? To mess with her. It's fun. The most important moment in the entire film is brief (and strangely edited out of the same scene in the sequel). Laurie pulls off the mask and sees . . .nothing. It's just a 23 year old kid. It's not some monster. It's just a guy. Because Evil is banal. The pathological killer looks like everyone else. Evil lurks everywhere, so you better watch out. That's the nightmare, and that's the moral of the film.

Jay

You're right, George. Hallloween was filmed in May (hence all the lush green trees 😂) so artificial leaves were used during the day time scenes.

Kinokind

Oh, and the mask was a modified William Shatner mask they bought at a store. They cut the eye holes larger and painted it white and made some other modifications, but it's William Shatner.

George, If you were with me, you wouldn't be here in this strip club shaking it for dollar bills!

🖤The original canon of the Halloween films goes as follows: -Halloween 1978 -Halloween II 1981 -Halloween III: Season of the Witch (Has nothing to do with Michael Myers as they tried to turn Halloween into an anthology series but failed) -Halloween 4: Return of Michael Myers 1988 -Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers 1989 -Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers 1995 -Halloween H20 1998 -Halloween Resurrection 2002 Then the Rob Zombie Remake happened, and there were 2 of those. Then they decided to pick back up with the original franchise with sequels that are direct sequels to the original 1978 movie only, making every other Halloween movie after the original no longer canon with: -Halloween 2018 (so unofficially the new Halloween 2) -Halloween Kills 2021 -Halloween Ends 2022 So only these 4 movies are canon. If I were recommending which to watch for someone not doing a reaction channel I'd advise them to watch all of them. Even the remakes. There are ups and downs but it's a fun ride and personally, I didn't mind the remakes. Some hate them. I think it's just bias against remakes in some cases (not all, you're allowed to hate a movie just because LOL) but I just liked them as a fresh take. Not the strongest of the franchise tho. For purposes of a reaction channel, since it's not expected you'd realistically watch all of them, especially since some are bad, I'd recommend just the 4 canon movies (the last one kind of BLOWS but would be a fun reaction as you'd have everyone's permission to roast it) and then take recommendations from viewers if you want to cherry-pick from the now noncannon movies, be it because they're good, or they're so bad they're good, or whatever. But at least the next 2 of the cannon movies (Halloween 2018 and Halloween Kills) are for sure worth it. PS. "Halloween" having typed it and seen it typed so many times has lost all meaning to me. Seeing it spelled "Halloween" doesn't even seem like the correct spelling anymore. Oh well. Worth it. It's such a messy timeline of movies so it may help to have an organized list of them if you want to move forward with more of these.

Jay

The original timeline goes 1 - 2 - 4 (Return of MM) - 5 (Revenge of MM) - 6 (Curse of MM). Halloween 3: Season of the Witch is unrelated to any other film in the series. Then Halloween H20 (awful title for a decent film) came along and ignored the events from 4 - 6. So the 2nd timeline goes 1 - 2 - 7 (H20) - 8 (Resurrection). Then Rob Zombie did his remake of the 1978 original and a sequel, so Rob Zombie's Halloween and Halloween 2 are their own thing. Then David Gordon Green's trilogy picks up from this film, ignoring every film since. So the final timeline goes 1 - Halloween (2018) - Halloween Kills - Halloween Ends. I really like 2, 3 and 4, but 5 and 6 are dreadful. I kind of love 6 for how fucking dumb it is though (Paul Rudd's first film btw). H20 is pretty good and Resurrection is an abomination, although we do see Busta Rhymes attempting kung-fu on Michael Myers 😂😂. I can't stand Rob Zombie's movies, I have no time for his contribution to the series. DGG'S trilogy is fine, I definitely don't like it as much as many others seem to.

Jay
>>120203608

I see someone already explained all this 😳

Monica Alarcon

Okay just adding my PERSONAL opinion on the franchise: 1 through 4 are very good 5 is just okay 6 is bad or just okay depends on wich version you're watching H20 is very good Resurrection is very bad The first Rob Zombie remake is... just okay, the second is very bad The recent trilogy (2018-2022) is absolute crap (PERSONAL OPINION)

Jacob King
>>120196184

Ugh, “the rules”. I love Scream but even in the context of that movie it’s an opinion presented by a drunk 16 year old at a party. It’s not meant to be taken seriously.

Samuel Bruce

I recommend watching how it was made on Netflix, they have an episode on Halloween it’s pretty cool

Kinokind

I've watched the original countless times, beginning with opening week in 1978, and I always see new things in it. I doubt that Carpenter himself understood the meaning of some facets of the film. Some of it works at a subconscious level that perhaps even he did not recognize. The sequels are all just garden variety slasher films, as are the copycats (although "Nightmare on Elm Street" did have the cool conceit of killer dreams.) and should be regarded as what they are. "Halloween 2" is fun only because it works so hard to splice itself seamlessly to the original, but the weltenschauung (if you don't know, look it up) is totally different. It's an exploitation film, pure and simple. The original was Carpenter flexing his artistic muscles, and is a masterpiece.

Naturekitty5309

Halloween 2 finishes this story. To me thats the only one worth watching. But I have not seen the latest one. Just my opinion. Halloween 3 is kind of an interesting story though, but it has nothing to do with the Michael Myers character.

Naturekitty5309

The mask by the way is a Captain Kirk mask turned inside out.

Vincent Arfeux

you should really watch the rob zombie's remake of Halloween

Vincent Arfeux

Halloween I and II from Rob Zombie are the best after this one

Jonah
>>120197662

I really don't understand why Halloween ends gets so much hate. I liked it.

Chase Schleich

All 13 films aren't connected. The first 7 or 8 are, then Rob Zombie did a full reboot with 2 films, then they came back to the original storyline and did a direct sequel trilogy to Halloween 1978 (ignoring all the sequels). So the way to watch Halloween is Halloween 1978, Halloween 2018, Halloween Kills, Halloween Ends. Those are now the 4 films in the Halloween timeline. Halloween 2 was ok, Halloween 3 Season of the Witch is not a Michael Meyers movie (they tried to do an anthology with Halloween and it failed miserably), Halloween 4 goes back to Michael Meyers, but that's when it starts getting bad. 4, 5, 6 are all silly/bad. H20 wasn't bad (it ignores 4,.5, and 6) and Resurrection is not very good (direct sequel to H20), then the reboot by Rob Zombie (first one pretty good, 2nd pretty bad) and then the new trilogy which as I said, are a direct sequel to Halloween 1978 and ignore everything else.

Chase Schleich

Friday the 13th is a tough one because you need to watch the first one, but then those get kind of goofy (although they get better after part 3). Yet you can't just watch the 1st one for reasons I can't tell you. I would say watch Friday the 13th (1980), then jump straight to the 2009 film (it ties into the 1st and is pretty good). Then watch Freddy vs Jason just for fun because it's fucking Freddy vs Fucking Jason lol

Chase Schleich
>>120215862

Or here's another idea. Consider Scream to be your final exam and you need to pull an all nighter to be ready for it. Watch Friday the 13th (1980) and then do a long Patreon only video (less editing to do) binging a bunch of the sequels from the 80's (they're all short, 75-90 minutes). Just spend a week watching them and upload them as one or two long videos. Then do Friday the 13th 2009 as a regularly scheduled video. It gets hard when you're 12 movies behind lol.

Richard Flores
>>120208318

Yup. There's a feel. And a view. I could talk about cinematography, and blocking, and tracking shots, and making a setting itself a character in the story, and none of that matters. This film makes you think and makes you find new ways to see things that are or are not there and makes you live in a world that other people inhabit and other sequels don't.

Nerd's Gold

I have always found the making of this movie to be pretty fascinating. There is a 20th anniversary DVD that has a director's commentary to play along with the movie. It's fun to hear how many things they did simply because they were too inexperienced to know that they couldn't.

Choi_Yujin_Stan_Account

Peeps have their opinons but I'd do the JLC timeline... Halloween 2, Halloween (2018), Halloween Kills, Halloween Ends...that keeps it manageable and I think any others you could do on Cinecringe if you wanted

Alex Ch

Rather than watch more Halloween movies, what would really be a good follow up would be more John Carpenter movies. In addition to The Thing and Big Trouble In Little China, his biggest hits/best films would include They Live, Escape From New York, Assault on Precinct 13 and Christine.

Daniel Popp

Originally, John Carpenter didn’t want the sequel to be about Michael Myers. He wanted the sequels to be their own films with their own tales of horror. Which they did with Halloween III: Season Of The Witch, but that got tons of hate.

Steve H

None of the Holloween flicks had enough class to become anyone's keeper, I'm sure i missed something now and then, but I didnt watch any of them.

Alex Ch

Certainly unimportant but Annie was babysitting at someone else’s house, so she did in fact have only one set of clothes available at the time.

sarCC

The original HALLOWEEN II is good, just not as good as the first. The 4th one is good and has a great ending. Rob Zombie's HALLOWEEN II is much better than his HALLOWEEN (ONE), as it feels very original and really feels like what would happen to everybody in the town after the events of the first HALLOWEEN(Scout Taylor Compton's performance as Laurie really captures PTSD frighteningly well). And the 2018 HALLOWEEN is pretty damn good, but has a super-dumb conceit at its core(it's a plot point that really should have clued the audience in on how badly the rest of the director and co-writers' movies in the series would go[as well as the director's atrocious EXORCIST sequel, released just a couple of weeks ago]).

Jon

So funny thing. When John Carpenter was previewing the movie for studio executives they didn't think it was very good. The reason being he was using an unfinished print that didn't have the music in it yet. Once he had the music put in the executives were convinced to distribute the movie.

Joe Mallard

2018 is the only other one worth seeing. You have to really be a fan to put the effort into watching the other movies.

Scott Souza

Michael Myers mask was a Captain Kirk mask put on inside out...I love that lol

Brendan Rafferty

▪️none of the other Halloween films are worth watching. John Carpenter never intended a franchise. ▪️at the time, this was the highest grossing independent film of all time… and triggered an entire decade worth of slasher film imitators ▪️Jamie Lee Curtis was known as a scream queen because, after Halloween, she started in multiple other slasher/horror films… The Fog, Prom Night, Halloween 2, and Terror Train… plus her mother started in Psycho ▪️originally titled “The Babysitter Murders” ▪️also, you have to remember, because this was the first movie of the new slasher genre… a lot of what you are seeing as common horror movie cliches (like turning your back on a killer you think is dead or the unstoppable slow walking killer) were actually done for the first time in this film

Lindsey is played by Kyle Richards, who is now a Real Housewife of Beverly Hills

god this movie is dated, should be on cinecringe
