This is my favorite movie of ALL TIME! And it continues to give me chills whenever I watch it. No other movie from nearly 30 years ago has ever been able to do so. This is the most terrifying movie ever and it continues to have the same impact it did when it first came out. A young Jamie Lee Curtis really made her mark and began her career with the role that got her deemed the scream queen (a real honor being the daughter of the original scream queen Janet Lee). She followed up this movie with the sequel, although not at great, a really good movie in and of itself. But the original Halloween just cannot be dupicated and no sequel or rip off has ever even come close.
