I grew up in the suburbs in the 1990s, and the only time we locked our doors was when we went out or went to sleep. We were worried about being robbed, not that a guy in a mask would walk in a stab us. 😁

I NEVER noticed that scene where the girl goes to get keys to unlock the car then after she gets back to the car opens the car without the keys without realizing it meant Michael was in the back seat. So much of these little details are so easy to miss, but it's really what makes this movie shine.

The reason Michael Myers and Halloween is iconic is because over 40 years later we still don’t know what motivates him to kill. You guys had a great reaction. In a way I’m jealous of first time watchers because I wish I could experience for the first time again and to see that it still frightens people 40 plus years later shows how well it holds up.

[@talco881]

It's actually an adaptation of a book. In the book, it goes back to Celtic times curse of all curses, when a deformed young man during Samhain who was smitten with a beautiful young girl was rebuked, in fact, he was laughed at and taunted by others, I can't remember if they did anything to him but he curses the girl and any offspring she has. So throughout the ages every so many generations a male is born who kills the family and somehow there is always one woman who escapes. Michael Meyer's great-granddad was hung for killing two women and complained before he went and killed those two women that voices were talking to him. The idea was that the woman's bloodline would eventually be wiped out.

We didn't leave doors open but they were rarely locked and windows were open a lot in the 70's. There wasn't central air or window units in every home then. 🤷‍♀️ Metal hangers can be used as a weapon. We didn't have a lot of plastic hangers back then. We used the wire hangers to clear clogged drains, for antennas and to wire up things on our vehicles. Laurie Strode was the original final girl.

Nice reaction guys! I think Carpenter would be so happy to see that his groundbreaking movie still has the capacity to scare people all these years later. Even though there is so much more gory, jumpy stuff nowadays, this builds the tension and has one of the most terrifying bad guys ever. It was interesting that BJ said, "That would be too cliché" because this was almost before the clichés were created! It's hokey in places for sure but to me, it's like listening to a great rock and roll album from many years ago. It set the scene for what followed.

[@childof70s1]

Thank you Asia and BJ for reacting to this movie. Fun Fact: The station wagon that Michael (The Shape) steals from Dr. Loomis and his nurse and then subsequently drives to and then around Haddenfield was a late model Ford LTD Country Squire station wagon probably brand new or fairly new at the time of making the movie in 1978. I would say it was probably a 77 or 78 model year. Anyway it turns out that the car was rented from a vehicle rental company for the making of the movie. I saw a video I believe on KZbin that they recently located the car and proved by the VIN number and documentation that it was the exact car that was used in the movie but it was in horrible condition and the people that owned it had no idea the cinematic history they had on their hands and then the party that purchased the car restored it to it's original condition except for the power windows which were much harder to locate replacements for because the original power window wiring harness and hardware was not usable because the rodents had chewed on the wires while the car was in storage all those years so in that video they said they had to make it a manual window car. They also had planned to eventually convert it back to power windows and locks like it was in the movie. Just an interesting fun fact I thought you might like.

The conversations the two of you have are priceless and hilarious! Asia "I'm not looking" yes you are through your fingers! Absolutely hysterical the two of you!

[@RobSandage]

The Thing was a classic black and white film that John Carpenter was a fan of and made into a feature film in 1982 with Kurt Russell. A very good horror film to watch made by John Carpenter who did Halloween. I watched this in film class when I was in college. What John Carpenter did was caused the audience to use their imagination rather than do traditional jump scares. Plus, the kind of cameras used other films started to use it. You have to watch Halloween II. Plus, there are more sequels to this. There is a story to the films. I forgot to mention that John Carpenter wrote the song and performed it as well for the franchise.

Halloween 2 is still a good movie, I know people don't like it for the most part but as a direct sequel I think it works amazingly well. And Halloween 3, is it's own thing. I rather like it and I know in recent years it has had a resurgence of popularity etc.

Asia & BJ, I would skip all the sequels from 1981's "Halloween 2" thru 2002's "Halloween: Resurrection" (as well as passing on Rob Zombie's versions in 2007 and 2009). The most recent Michael Myers timeline picks up with 2018 "Halloween" based on what you just saw from the 1978 movie. That way you'll be more up-to-date on the current franchise to watch 2020's "Halloween Kills" and eventually Oct. 14th, 2022's "Halloween Ends."

[@LordLOC]

@@Wl23W-i7i I don't want them to be confused, I simply feel like they should watch them in the order they were released.

I promise you, in the suburbs in the midwest it was VERY COMMON to leave your front doors unlocked. While it wouldn't be normal to have your back door ajar (open), it wouldn't be something that would not be a big alram either. Laurie thought that her friends were either trying to mess with her (Halloween night) or possibly in the bedrooms "fooling around". I personally would have went back to the house I was babysitting at and waited for a call or the parents to come home. She probably didn't want to get her friends in trouble though. P.S. Compared to present day, the 1960's & 70's were very trusting, especially in really good neighborhoods and in small cities.

Yes!! You watched my favorite horror movie of all time! This movie is iconic, an absolute classic, for so many reasons: the spot-on music, the fantastic performances of Donald Pleasance and Jamie Lee Curtis, the simplicity of the story, and the almost unbearable suspense and tension. Also, I love the lack of blood and gore, relying instead on that incredible tension and the viewer's imagination. Asia, you are my new favorite person to watch reacting to horror movies, with your jump scares and peeking through your fingers. 😄 And BJ, you have awesome comments; did you really say shucky ducky quack quack? 😂 That made my day!! Okay, here is my opinion on which sequels to watch: *Halloween II: a direct continuation of this one, picking right up the same night where this one left off. Not as good as this one, but still worth watching. *Halloween H20: the best sequel, that really captures the spirit of the original, with the return of Jamie Lee Curtis and other great performances. *Halloween (2018) and Halloween Kills: back-to-back movies that follow the timeline of the original, ignoring all the sequels and reboots, and again featuring Jamie Lee Curtis. The rest of the sequels and reboots range from meh to bad to insultingly awful (Resurrection). Have fun on your Halloween journey! Asia, I hope you survive the experience! 😁

Like Friday the 13th (and other horror classics), this started out as a low budget indie flick. It's a film that takes place in Illinois in the fall, that was shot in southern California in the spring lol. Unlike Poltergeist, I'm impressed Asia managed to keep her hands on the blanket. This first two are classics. The third does not include Michal Myers in any way (John Carpenter originally only wanted to make one). Not including the two remakes, there are eight Halloween movies, seven that have Michal Myers. Continue at your own risk lol. ;)

[@SlayerO013]

"The third does not include Michal Myers in any way" I'm going to be petty, but that's not accurate. At one point there is an easter egg where it shows a trailer for Halloween on a TV. Close to the beginning I think. Told ya it was petty. 🤣🤣🤣 Eggs and pettiness aside, part 3 was still a turd festival.

[@rickblanton4883]

@@SlayerO013 Lmao I"m gonna say that's a tad nitpicky, especially when you consider that a far better easter egg, would be Jamie Lee Curtis lending her voice lol.

[@janetf23]

How funny you were while watching this, Asia❣ Now, check out Jamie Lee's mom, Janet Leigh, in Alfred Hitchcock's classic 'Psycho'🔪

[@eviekelpie1]

I just recommended that one too. Another favourite of mine. Norman is so freaky

[@janetf23]

@@eviekelpie1 Right?!!

[@3flying986]

VH1 used to do these pop up movies that shared crazy thing during the movie while it was being filmed,like for example when Jamie Lee is walking and the guy jumps out from the bushes look closely and you will see smoke coming out beside the bush..it was John Carpenter smoking a joint with some of the crew.also when there walking the street is dry then same scene the roads are wet..it came a high storm while they were filming.The mask of Micheal Myers is a William Shatner Star Trek Halloween mask turned inside out lol

"OH SHUCKY-DUCKY QUACK QUACK!!!!!" 😆😂😆😂😆 lol.

[@daleblackwell7803]

Please watch Halloween 2 asap, I love y’all’s reaction!!!

[@angelagreene1968]

You have to watch 2, that's where you learn what's going on. Also, y'all make it so much fun. Thanks for another great reaction. Have a wonderful blessed night 😘😘🥰🥰

[@aleksanderfinstad5785]

John Carpenter is a horror genius. His Halloween-serie is the most scary-chilling His horror-remake movie "The Thing" from 1982, is a classic!

[@LouviaLubin]

I haven’t even finished watching this video and I had to subscribe. You two are hilarious, I love the commentary from BJ and Asia watching through her fingers is life. I’ve been laughing while watching you. This is awesome. Happy Halloween🎃

[@ReelinwithAsiaandBJ]

Hey, Thanks Louvia!! Really appreciate your kind comment and sub!! Welcome in

[@hulkfan97]

21:00 that was the original Thing. Not the one you're thinking of. However John Carpenter did remake that movie shortly after Halloween

[@professortruth3936]

I can't wait for you two to further this journey into Halloween.

[@recoil53]

A classic. John Carpenter really did a lot with small budgets. He made some classics and he did everything behind the scenes - even writing the music scores.

[@stevep2380]

The music score is legendary. The Michael Meyers theme is so absurdly simple yet so incredibly creepy!

[@mikewarker4445]

The Omen w Gregory Peck another oldie but goodie

[@Eodsgm369]

That blanket with the hands over the eyes and her hands over the eyes is too much!😂😂😂

[@dionkelly8420]

Asia scared before the movie even starts? That's how you know it's a good movie. I could imagine if y'all was watching this in the dark movie theater. Asia wouldn't even let BJ get up and go get the popcorn and drinks. She would think Michael Myers gonna jump out the movie screen and come get her. Lol.

[@evematice6104]

Halloween 2 picks up right were this one left off. It tell a lot more of the story. You should watch it. If your blanket can hold out. Lol. Love you guys!

[@MLJ7956]

Great reaction you two...glad you enjoyed the orginal classic...often imitated (and even ripped off) but never duplicated. 🎃 TRIVIA - Due some of the more violent content and nudity not be able to be shown on national TV (due to FCC broadcasting regulations and network decency censorship), several scenes from the film had to be either re-edited (for the TV broadcasting standards) or removed entirely...However, with the changes made, the film's running time would have ran at an irregular shorter length than what the networks programming blocks (minus advertising/commercial time) wanted at the time. In order to fix that, director John Carpenter shot 12 minutes of new additional footage (with much of the orginal cast - due to the fact that Carpenter himself was also doing uncredited reshoots for Halloween II at the time as well in 1981) to fill in the missing gaps (and at the time - to also better connect Halloween II more directly with Carpenter's orginal film). These additional scenes were shot by director John Carpenter for the 1981 television network premiere. They include: *A meeting set in 1964 between Dr. Loomis and two doctors from the mental (psychiatric) institution where Michael Myers is being kept, where Dr. Loomis urges the doctors to keep him under maximum security but they don't see Michael as any kind of threat because he appears mostly catatonic, so they refuse. The scene ends with Loomis visiting young Michael in his hospital room and saying to him "You fooled them didn't you Michael...but not me". *A scene after Michael's hospital escape, where a nurse leads Dr. Loomis to Michael's room, telling him who was supposed to have been watching all the patients that night but wasn't there at the post at the time when all the patients were released outside. Once they arrive in Michael's room, she tells him he must have broken the window glass with his bare hands. They then glance over on the wall, and see, written in blood, the word "sister". The nurse asks Loomis if Michael has been found yet, where Loomis replies "No...but I know where he's going". *A scene (before Laurie leaves to go babysitting) where Lynda visits Laurie at home saying a "creepy guy in a station wagon has been following me", but they both look out the windows and they both don't see anything. Lynda then asks to borrow Laurie's new blouse just as Annie calls on the phone asking to borrow the same blouse. She lends the blouse to Lynda who says "I totally promise to take good care of it", as Laurie mumbles to herself "I totally don't believe you". I will say to check out Halloween II (1981) also (and the other sequels as well if you wish) - because Halloween II takes place directly after Halloween (1978) ends and (the story) all occurs on the same night. ✌️

[@e.s.9080]

Also that shock ending was the first of it's kind at the time. Donald Pleasance (Dt. Loomis) presented 2 different reactions to director, John Carpenter. Reaction #1....OMG, and reaction #2....I knew it!. Glad they went with #2 because it haunted audiences for years.

[@terrylandess6072]

Donald got my attention in the science fiction classic: Fantastic Voyage which got to see in theaters.

[@russellm2555]

Ernst Blofeld never disappoints

[@BlueGuy44]

My favorite Quote from the Movie is when Loomis said: “Hey! Hey, Lonnie, get your ass away from there.” It’s hilarious.

[@Red_Ring_Of_Death]

Asia had the blanket up within the first 20 seconds of actual video. 🤣 She’s too funny.

[@Mean-bj8wp]

Asia's reaction is brilliant you have to follow up with Halloween 2 it carries on where this left off and shows what happens the rest of the night.

[@romamazza5881]

Girl! You got me laughing! Your reactions are timeless! Love you gius

[@kevinheath5046]

So glad you watched this! Great reaction!! This is one of my favorite all time scary movies. This one and The Thing with Kurt Russell. Anyway on a scale of 1 - 10, i'm giving this a 10!! This movie scared the crap out of me when I first saw it. So scary!!! Don't watch 2 or 3. Go straight to the Halloween from I think 2018. That movie is the true sequel according to John Carpenter and Jamie Lee Curtis. Love you guys!!

[@travisb2842]

BJ holdin' it down while Asia forming a wall with those fingers. LOL

You guys watching this as adults. Imagine watching this at 7yrs old for first-time. 😱🫣 Love your movie reactions ❤❤

[@jamiemcgovern1606]

I loved 80's horror when I was a kid. Please check out two of my favorites...The Fog (1980 version) and Phantasm. Love your movie reactions and keep the fun going!!!

[@terrylandess6072]

Ah Phantasm - because gore was in style and humor got in the way. Serious brutality for an older generation.

[@dr.burtgummerfan439]

Love the whole Phantasm series!

[@susanalexander6721]

I like The Fog even more than Halloween
