halloween be not only the godfather of all slasher movie but the great horror movie ever . john carpenter and debra hill create the most suspenseful and creepy and and terrify movie of all time with this classic chiller . michael myers be such a phenomenal monster in this movie that he inspire score of imitator and such a jason vorhees ( friday the 13th ) and the miner ( my bloody valentine ) and and charlie puckett ( the night bring charlie ) . okay and so i get a little obscure there and but it just go to show you the impact that this movie have on the entire horror genre . no longer do a monster have to come from king tut tomb or from dr. frankenstein lab . he could be create in the cozy little neighborhood of suburbia . and on the night he come home . haddonfield and illinois and the viewer would never be the same . there be many aspect of this movie that make it the crown jewel of horror movie . first be the setting . it take place in what appear to be a normal suburban neighborhood . many of u who grow up in an area such a this can easily identify with the character . this be the type of neighborhood where you feel safe and but if trouble start to brew and nobody want to lift a finger to get involve ( especially when a heavy breathing madman be try to skewer our young heroine . ) along with the setting and the movie take place on halloween . the scary night of the year . while most people be carve jack o lantern and michael myers be look to carve up some teenie boppers . besides the setting and there be some great acting . jamie lee curtis do a serviceable job a our heroine and laurie strode and a goody two shoe high schooler who can never seem to find a date . however and it be donald pleasance and a dr. sam loomis and who really steal the show . his portrayal of the good doctor and who know just what type of evil hide behind the black eye of michael myers and feel compel to send him to hell once and for all and be the stuff of horror legend . however and it be the synthesizer score that really drive this picture a it seem to almost put the viewer into the film . once you hear it and you will never forget it . i also enjoy the grainy feel to this picture . nowadays and they seem to sharpen up the image of every movie and give u every possible detail of the monster we be suppose to be afraid of . in halloween and john carpenter never really let u get a complete look at michael myers . he always seem like he be a part of the shadow and and and i think that be what make him so terrify . there be many scene where michael be partly visible a he spy on the young teen ( unbeknownst to them ) and which add to his creepiness . if you think about and some wacko could be watch you right now and you wouldn not even know it . unfortunately for our teenager ( and fortunately for u horror fan ) and when they find michael and he not look for candy on this halloween night . he look for blood . finally and michael myers and himself and be a key element to this movie effectiveness . his relentless pursuit of laurie strode make him seem like the killer who will never stop . he be the bogeyman that will haunt you for the rest of your life . so and if you have not see this movie ( if there be still some of you out there who haven not and or even if you have ) and grab some popcorn and turn off every light and pop this into the old dvd and watch in fright . trick or treat .
