Happy 33rd Anniversary Halloween!

CLASSIC.. UNIQUE..

Loved this movie,always wanted to be Jamie Lee Curtis,can still remember the adrenalin running through me when I was watching it,my heart beating so fast I felt like it was me being hunted down,still good to watch on a cold,thundery night-WITHOUT THE LIGHTS ON....baahaaahaaahaaa

This was one of my favorite movies, when i was a kid.

I'm looking for some real fan opinions. My name is J. McClanahan, a friend and I have started a small production company and just to get some people together I decided to do my own remake of Halloween simply titled "J. McClanahan's Halloween - - Evil Has Come Home..." I personally loved what Rob Zombie did with the story. I think Michael Myers should be the main character and not just a "shape". I want my Halloween to be grounded in reality as much as possible. I'm finished with the script, but a while back I watched this show on the E! Network called "Too Young To Kill" about kids that committed murder. There was two cases the really shocked me. One was were the two brothers, one was 12 the other was 11. They bashed their fathers brains out with an aluminum baseball bat then tried to burn down the house. Both boys were tried and convicted as juveniles and released at 21. Another case was a 14 year old boy shot and killed his dad, step mom and step sister then dumped their bodies in a manure pile. He was tried as an adult and convicted of one count of man slaughter for his dad, one count of second degree murder for is step mom and one count of first degree murder for is step sister. The judge threw out the verdict and sentenced him as a juvenile. He too was released when he turned 21. It really creeped me out how there 3 people out walking around free as bird after committing such violent murders. So I thought about going back and changing a big part of the script. Here’s what I thought about doing. After stabbing his big sister Judith to death with a butcher knife on Halloween in 1995, 6 year old Michael Myers is found guilty of man slaughter and placed in Smith's Grove, Warren County Sanitarium until his 21st birthday, October 30, 2010. Dr. Samuel Loomis greatly voices his disapproval, but another doctor, Dr. Glenn Bryant disagrees with Dr. Loomis on Michael's mental state. Dr. Bryant believes that Michael has been locked in a state of regression since the age of six and is in fact so traumatized by what he did that refuses to speak and also by law he has to be released. Now, Michael Myers stands about 6'3" or 6'4" and weighs around 220 lbs. with long stringy hair and a scruffy beard (COME ON, WHO THE HELL IS GOING TO SHAVE HIM AND CUT HIS HAIR? HE AIN'T GOING TO DO IT HIMSELF). It's his 21st birthday, October 30, 2010 and because he doesn't have any clothes other than hospital gowns and scrubs, he is given a dark blue jumpsuit or coveralls whatever you want to call them, a pair of boots and a couple hundred dollars by the staff as a birthday gift and he is released with nowhere to go, but home. I dig the idea, but if more people dislike it, then I'll leave the escape in. So give me some feedback guys.

halloween is the best horror movie classic in history.

THIS IS THE BEST HORROR MOVIE EVER MADE :D♥

This has to be one of the scariest movies ever made. It accomplished its mission to unsettle the familiar and introduce us to an icon.

Saw it on TV in like 1980, when I was a kid. One of the first true horror movies I was able to watch. As others have stated above, Halloween is a film classic and Michael Myers is a film icon...remaking it was obvious...remaking it poorly was expected.

As for the sequels...part two was average at best, H20 was harmlessly entertaining, and Resurrection was silly fun (though I have no desire to watch it again). Halloween 5 and 6 were both god-awful. In my opinion, Halloween 4 stands as the best of the sequels. It was the only entry in the series (remakes included) that understood the fact that slow-building, stalking, suspense was what made the original great, for the most part successfully recreating it.

i guess i'm one of the few horror fan who find halloween boring as hell and not scary. i dunno why. i just yawn all the time. and love carpenter.

When i first saw this movie...i was terrified. I didnt like that Myers just didnt say anything. He just stood there like he was stone with that plain white mask. Thats what scared me, that he was quiet. He didnt make any noise. And the way he walks. He walks so slow that it seems that he is confident on killing you. That just creeps me out. Still to this day, He still scares me. More than Freddy or Jason. This movie is just plain horror. Thats it.

I just got a tattoo of the poster art today.

halloween is the 5th horror movie for me to see as a child and really started it off on my love for horror movies. my favorites are all of them except for halloween 3 and halloween ressurection. i think they need to go back to after resurrection and start back there. bring back tommy, kara, danny, and steven. paul rudd should return just once more. also bring josh hartnett and michelle williams too. rob zombies was alright. i thought his versions were pretty cool.

I think that in all of history of Horror after this movie, they all didn't stand with this one. Except for the sequel...

this one is scary, and it's a classic as well, it has everything a scary movie/horror movie should have, thrills, chills, spills, and it's a movie like ones after it that you take home with you after you watch it in the theatre, i am always pumped up for the "must have" of horrors, they are hard to come by!

I love horror movies . I think the best ones are , as Vincent Price put it , not knowing what's down the hall , behind the door or curtain . It's the suspense of what's coming . Anyway ......

I saw the original Halloween in the theater with my then boyfriend and another couple . Scared the livin crap out of me and I don't scare easy . It wasn't the killings , but 'him" , the "shape" . No one has played that character as convincingly as the first actor . At least not for me .
I walked out of that theater looking all around me , making sure there was no one in the back seat of the car . I couldn't sleep that night at all . Had nightmares for a week .

Then the second installment happens .I was in the kitchen making supper and I heard this "music" and froze , eyes watering , skin crawling .The two tv stations I watched most at that time were showing the trailers for it . I waited till that trailer was over and found other channels to watch, but , the nightmares came back.

My boyfriends brother and his girlfriend went to see it and told me Michael died at the end , so off my man and I go to "kill him off" once and for all . Did it work? Kind of . The new shape was not very convincing as Mr. Myers ( the mask sucked) , so I got through the movie pretty well , but it didn't stop the bad dreams .

I bought the VHS of the first one when it came out . It took me 10 years to be able to sit down and watch it. Did John Carpenter do his job ? Hell yes . A little too well. I've seen each one that was made and own which I thought for me , was the better of the series.

I also own Rob Zombies remake . Even though I thought he spent too much time on the young Michael , which "rushed" everything else , I was however , glad to see Michael's transformation . I was not really impressed with his take on #2 . I liked the whole night spent stalking her in the hospital in the original better than this one . But it was brutal and showed what can happen to one's personality after an ordeal like that .

Even after my ordeal with you , Michael Myers, you are by far, my epitome of the serial killer . Funny , how you seem to creep into mind when picking up that knife to get supper ready

Eh, it was ok. definitely better than the remake. Shoulda left the series at halloween 2. Only thing I dont like is the lack of style. Psychopaths always kill with a unique style, but c'mon. I mean, just random stabbing? He might as well be a mugger in NYC.

I wrote a comparison piece on the original and the Rob Zombie remake. It's at

Food for scary thoughts.

Great classic horror. Actually, not bad for an 80's horror slasher.

This is my absolute favorite horror movie. I own just about every copy they have released on vhs and dvd ( true fans understand the importance of having that many copies of the same movie) I actually have Michael tattooed on my forearm.

My favorite one too, even for a lot of people here on Mexico

This is my all time favorite horror film! It's a classic, and John Carpenter does excellently. Even the sequel was good, but that's it. All the others (three, four, five, H20, and Resurrection) were- well, less than great. But this movie, I can never get tired of!

i think its great but you know i do like a good story so my favorite 2nd to this movie is Bones with snoop dogg very good

The best Horror film of all-time!

Doesn't get any better than this for me.
