Summary: The king of the slasher flicks
Review: Their are some people who would say that Friday the 13th was the most influental teen slasher ever, but thats simlply not the case, because Halloween came before Friday the 13th did. I think it is pretty mind blowing to think about how many horror movies have taken segments from Halloween over the years and the 10 Friday the 13th flicks are no different. In my opienion the begining of Halloween is one of the most chilling beginings ever with little Michael Miyers watch his own sister and her boyfriend making out on Halloween night and weighting for her boyfriend to leave so he can kill her for no reason at all, but the facted he is crazy. Thats one thing I like about Halloween is it dose not spend alot of time trying to figuer out why Michael is the way he is. The flim makers just get right to the point, and the horror, and the should leave you speechless. I recomend this very good looking and sounding disk to your collection. Even if you have sceen Halloween before.

Summary: The one, The only, The classic, Halloween!
Review: Often immitated and insipring alot of other slasher films over the past years, this one is the prime example of them all with
the original " Psycho". John Carpenter wrote and direct this
chilling shocker about a Masked Murderer who returns to the
town of " Haddonfield" where he murdered his sister long ago
and wants to kill again. It's Jamie Lee Curtis's first film appearence and it also stars Donald Pleasance as well, a Horror
movie collection isn't complete without this one.

Summary: Knifes and Pumpkins abound in this avant-garde blood fest!
Review: Blood and nudity abound in this tasteless thriller, starring Jamie Lee Curtis as a good girl babysitter, whose scanty friends get slaughtered off one by one, by a killer in a mask. All is well, until Miss Curtis' friends, who are babysitting at the neighbors, don't answer her phone calls and she notices all the lights next door are off. So Miss Curtis heads across the street... From there, things fall apart until they reach an asinine conclusion. The terrifyingly haunting music is the only thing that keeps this show from being a complete waste of time. Despite other opinions, this film DOES deserve its 'R' rating, due to its gruesome themes, let alone the violence, language, and semi-clad babysitters. All in all, enjoy "Halloween" if you must, but PLEASE don't consider it to be a favorite.

Summary: "You Can't Kill The Boogeyman..."
Review: The story begins like any other. It is Halloween night and all the kids are out trick or treating. But that is where the ordinary ends and the terror begins, because this year someone is going to die. It seems that little Michael Myers has developed a thirst for killing and he wacks his sister. Off he goes to the asylum , but luckily for us the system isn't going to let him out, right??? His psychiatrist Dr. Loomis (Donald Pleasence) is the only one that can sense the evil that rages in this little boy and he is scared. The story jumps to fifteen years later and guess what holiday is right around the corner....Veteran's Day? No, Halloween. Michael who can't wait to be set free by the system takes his fate into his own hands and escapes. He heads back to Haddonfield to finish what he started. Flash to Haddonfield. We see that a young blond (& future scream queen) Laurie (Jamie Lee Curtis) has a little trouble heading her way. Sex, drugs, and Blue Oyster Cult fill the air. Slowly, but surely Michael begins his rampage of killing in search of what, I cannot say (you will have to watch Halloween II to find out that little secret). Poor little Laurie does everything in her power to stop this madman, including stabbing him with knitting needles, poking his eyes out with a hanger, and using his own knife on him. Not even Dr. Loomis can stop him by dumping 6 shots into him. Do we really think the nightmare is over? No, it has only just begun.

Summary: Myers's Gore Galore
Review: John Carpenter's first true hit was Halloween. This spooky movie is about Michael Myers, who escaped a mental institute 15 years after murdering his older sister. He begins to stalk and slowly pick of anyone who gets in his revenge seeking way. Jamie Lee Curtis started her scream queenish ways here as a nerdy teen haunted by a strange figure. The truly amazing thing about this whole movie is how cheap it was. An independent film, this horror classic was shot for far far less than 1 million dollars. Although there are some noticeable mishaps. (Mountains and palm trees in Illinois? Does the inside of the house look like the outside?) The thing that is spooky isn't what you see like the newer slasher movies, it is what you don't see. Still an eerie film to watch.

Summary: Michael Myers Is Forever
Review: For sheer simplicity, this may be one of horror's greatest achievements in the celluloid universe. This DVD version is absolutely incredible. The only better way to watch this flick would be in a Drive-In or Indoor theatre. John Carpenter and company pulled out a hit horrorfest that is considered today, a classic of it's media. Even though some of my favorite JC pictures are Big Trouble In Little China and They Live, Carpenter never really came close to the success he had with this movie. This movie would make an absolute wonderful theatrical re-release. The atmosphere... the quietness leading up to the exciting climax. Carpenter did everything here as good as Hitchcock did with Psycho. The character of Michael Myers is wonderful. He and his Shatner mask have become apart of The monster movie pantheon with Dracula, The Monster, Wolfman, Freddy and Jason etc.
Watch out for Halloween 8!!!

Summary: A classic horror
Review: "You haven't really seen Halloween unless you've seen it in Widescreen". That's the statement at the bottom of the Australian DVD version. How "totally" correct. If you were like me, and had only ever seen a cropped video version, you are in for a real treat with the widescreen DVD version.
Halloween has an incredible score which helps build sheer terror atmosphere. The film focusses on a creepy looking man on a killing spree with one aim - to kill a certain person.
The film has been lovingly transferred to DVD, largely attributable to them locating an untouched negative. It is so clear, it has to be seen to be believed! The Aussie version only has 2.0 surround sound, but the Amercian version has an impressive 5.1 mix.
Now, if they could only release a better transfer for Halloween 2, then we would all be happy.

Summary: The most over-hyped movie of all-time.
Review: I was just watching t.v like usually browsed through some horror channels and saw it listed for 9:00, So I bought a video and got ready to tape this. I was expecting alot more from this film. First of all the music in this film was way,waym over-played, anyone can see that and don't say it wasn't, allmost every minute of this film, was that same music time after time, even when someone was just walking down the street! This movie had no gore! I expected alot, and what did I get? Almost nothing! It is a creepy film at times though that's for sure, but the end was very, very stupid. Stop reading if you don't want to know. Myers gets shot several times, yet he still has the power to get up and leave, what is that! He is a human being, not a monster, people need to get that through their heads, this is not Jason Voorhees! Set aside the rest of that it is a creepy flick.

Summary: JOHN CARPENTER'S HALLOWEEN is and will ever be: THE ORIGINAL
Review: HALLOWEEN marks John Carpenter's fist and unexpected strike in the world of horror. You can't do a movie better on this budget ($320,000). Don't expect too much in the first half of the movie. BUT the rest of the movie is worth to wait a century for it! Pros:
- unbeatable atmosphere in the whole movie
- Anamorphic Widescreen and Full Screen format
- Dolby Digital 5.1, Dolby Stereo Surround and oringinal Mono
- THX certified
- the main menu is well done and scary
- tons of extras (trivias, photos, radio and tv spots, trailers,...)
- it's THE original Cons:
- no commentary track Forget all those SCREAM-copies... This is definetly THE evergreen must-have horror movie!
