[@IK-pz7th]

Yeah everything about this movie blows most modern horrror movies out of the water

[@LuisAngel-mu4zv]

Yeah, most of the predictability isn't really there, its just that alot of slashers after Halloween have already copied the same tropes but even with that in mind the film still has something the rest of the slashers besides Scream and Psycho dont have, and that is playing with the audience's expectations, that one shot sequence in the begining is amazingly shot but its also there to keep you from seeing Michael so that you could see a young boy at the end, the surprise isn't on who hes gonna kill in that scene but its more on who we're following, another great scene is when hes stalking annie, the camera lingers on michael spying on annie and it does the same thing when shes on the laundry room she gets stuck and it makes you feel like michael would trap her there but he doesn't its this big back in forth and the suspense that was there starts to fade away little by little but in a good way because it makes us think that michael just went to stalk someone else, that is until he gets her when we least expected it, right when she gets inside the car in just a matter of seconds he comes out, one of the things i also love is the use of sound and lighting when bob is on the kitchen the door opens and makes it seem like michael is outside and its completely dark wich helps because i wasnt expecting bob to open a small door i didn't know was there, Michael just appears out of that small door and kills the guy right when i was expecting him to be outside the dark lighting was good for the horror setting but it was also there to kind of surprise us, its a great horror film that was madw with care and detail, any other slahser would just go for the kills but Halloween is more in line with Phsyco than a movie like friday the 13

[@margaretsmith756]

We liked our slow burns back then. Establishing a realistic, "normal" atmosphere before hitting the scary really worked. We didn't need constant jump scares (which really is lazy film-making after a while). Imagine being a 12 year old watching this on Halloween night back in the day. I LOVED it! :)

[@JDelwynn]

@Cinematic Curtain Oh, it's was very different. Back then the jump scares were earned, it wasn't just a jump scare just to have a jump scare, it builds up to them and not just lower the volume and blast a loud noise, over and over again. Modern movies have no tension or buildup, so there's no relieve in the jump scare.

[@JDelwynn]

I can only imagine how it felt getting home from the cinema after that ending. It shows breathing and normal places, Michael is out there and he can be anywhere.

Where/when did Micheal learn to drive? Then of course towards the end when Michael has been stabbed, shot, and fell from a 2nd story window- how does he just up, and disappear? No matter what has possessed him, the body is still human, thus destrucable.

When it comes to wether or not Michael is human or not in this film: the entire point of the character is that he makes you question exactly that! .. I mean he looks human right ? 2 arms , 2 legs... hell even bleeds! but how does he just magically appear and then disappear? How does he get shot 6 times but still manages to get away? That’s exactly what makes him the “boogeyman”. Something is up with him we just don’t know exactly what !

[@JulioLeonFandinho]

Mike Myers is like Moby Dick, for instance... is Moby Dick just a whale? is it God? is it the Devil? it's a narrative trick used to explain other things. In Moby Dick the white whale isn't important, it's Ahab troubles and issues, told through the whale... in Halloween Mike Myers represents the evil itself (Donald Pleasence, the Doctor, says it explicitely, behind Myers eyes he saw pure evil) and how arbitrary can be. That's why Myers never dies, as evil never dies

Also, the idea that they were somehow racking up a huge bill by making local calls, which cost nothing extra. I wonder if they thought the TV going to static at the end of Poltergeist was meant to signal the arrival of the ghosts, when it's just what TV broadcasts used to do at the time (I've actually seen younger viewers get confused about that one before).

The thing to keep in mind here is that this movie was made for a really low budget of $325,000.00. It was also filmed in May of 1978 and was released that October. They create a lot of cool effects and camera techniques from scratch in that limited time. It is a far better movie than the budget and short film schedule would suggest. On top of that it grossed over $70 million dollars at the box office making it one of the most successful independent films of all time. Also back in the day before cell phones and internet we were on the phone all the time. The movie portrays that pretty accurately. Other good older horror movies: The Thing, The Fog, Night of the Creeps, Friday the 13th, Psycho, Hellraiser, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Alien, Jaws, Carrie, Phantasm. Just to name a few! :)

It had a very small budget too for the time. The actors had to actually show up in their own cloths and the leaves they used were the exact same throughout the movie, they would run around collecting them. Also the house scene at the beginning is the same creepy, wrecked house Laurie visits early in the film and I believe was the last scene they filmed, they just repainted and set up parts of the house that was used in the scenes. Easily my favorite horror movie of all time and this is my standard for any horror movie.

Fun fact, Halloween was never intended to be a long running series of horrors. When it was first developed, it was intended to be the first of a series of different holiday themed horror movies but people loved it too much.

The third Halloween “season of the witch” had nothing to do with the first two parts (other than being set in the same reality... a concept audiences are far more familiar with now than back in those days 😅😅), but neither the Myers fans nor the critics responded kindly to the changes back then. So they went back to Myers and the rest is history

it's scarier at that time considering there were a lot of night stalkers and serial killers actives in that era, so this film speaks to those horrors. also, i love the ending because you think he's dead but then he disappears into the dark, and then they show about 4 shots of different houses, which makes you think he's hidden on one of them temporarily, or just hidden in a backgarden behind some bushes, it is a leady suburb afterall. i personally loved it. i couldnt compare it to elm street, cuz thats a supernatural horror, but the tension in this film and the lack of cheap jump scares is probably what makes it better, unless one doesn't like a slow-burn ofcoursE :P

[@oneironaut420]

This movie has such a good mood and atmosphere. Goes to show that you don't need constant action or graphic gore to make a scary film. A quiet suburban town is the last thing you 'd expect to be creepy, but even the daytime shots create dread. I grew up in a neighborhood much like this and this movie definitely had me checking behind hedges and in my backyard. Part II is pretty good as well, but is much more graphic since it came out after Friday the 13th and the other imitators that upped the gore quotient. But it picks up right where this one ends, with the hunt for Michael on again. There's just ONE plot twist that is SO DUMB that it kinda ruins the franchise from then on. The recent Halloween film from a couple of years ago ignores the sequels and this plot twists, and is a direct sequel to this film. Black Christmas predates Halloween by a few years and is really the first "slasher" film, but it did not do as well at the box office. Halloween went HUGE and kicked off the whole slasher trend. I think Psycho was the first "modern" horror movie that took place in the every day modern world rather than haunted castles or gothic mansions. It's become a cliche to have the killer be this huge, hulking beast of a man, but that doesn't make sense for The Shape. He's supposed to slip unnoticed into the shadows and has a catlike stalking grace to him. It would make no sense for a giant of a man to be creeping around in the dark. Plus, he's been immobile and silent for 15 years, how huge could he possibly get? This is one of things I hate about the Rob Zombie remake. He turned Michael into a giant hulking monster.

Before you watch the newer Halloween, I REALLY suggest watching the original sequel, Halloween II. Even though it's no longer canon and it has a dumb plot twist, I find it to be a superior sequel to the 2018 sequel. You don't really need to see the other sequels right away, or ever.

Then we have the ungodly amount of sequels. There is literally 13 movies with 3 different timelines. Including a remake of this movie. If I were to give my opinion, none of the sequels live up the original. However, some of them aren't bad. As a matter of fact, in some of the next sequels, you will probably enjoy them more than this one. The next ones are less dated and you would be used to that which I think, based on what you said, you might enjoy them better than this. Halloween 2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and the remakes. I really recommend some of the sequels especially (Halloween ii 1981) it starts directly after this movie.

[@mem1701movies]

HALLOWEEN II while having flaws is the best sequel and where the whole series ends for me. 3 was terrible but a smarter move wanting to have different HALLOWEEN stories each year. Michael Myers doesn’t work after the first 2 movies. Even in the latest it’s hokey that he gets back in costume of another mechanic’s uniform.

I just have to chime in about the comments of the " telephone" as we used to call it in the olden days. lol! Back then, the phone could not be magically transported from one place to another, unless you were lucky enough to have a long cord that reaches from one room to the next as well as you could not type messages nor show your face as you can on the devices of today! The "Phone" another cooler name we called it, was a very important means of communication back then and us young whippersnappers spent many an hour conversing on them night after night! So to say they spent too much time on the phone in the the movie, i disagree! That was about an accurate amount of time they spent on the Telephones. Thank you for reviewing this movie and it was a major part of my great childhood memories growing up as well as talking on the "phone"! lol!

Even though halloween has aged acting wise it makes up for it with how intelligent the directing and pacing is in the film with how it uses certain camera angles, the gorgeous color palette, soundtrack, and the depiction of the shape and how it is executed in this film, as a film lover and horror movie fanatic definitely deserves the hype probably around a mid to high 9 outside the acting flaws it’s perfect and has one of the best concepts and soundtracks in film

@@CinemaRules I wouldn't necessarily call it slow. Slow to me is when there's nothing advancing the plot or moving it along before the killing actually starts.

[@mathematics5573]

See Halloween 2. That is a direct sequel The latest Halloween that wiped hallowwwn 2, was stupid and pointless.

[@misternightstar]

The ending definitely wasn't a sequel setup, as John Carpenter wanted "Halloween" to be an anthology franchise with each film being a totally different story centered around the holiday. The studio had other plans. As far as this being the first non-supernatural horror film, it got beat by "Psycho" in 1960. Alfred Hitchcock. A big deal of horror/suspense from the black-and-white era (and beyond, but that's where he first made his mark). Also, "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre" (1974) is pretty major. I'd recommend that for another old school slasher. I love "Halloween" (1978) though it's hard to unmarry it from my memory of all the awful imitators (including some sequels). Technically, "A Nightmare on Elm Street" is also in the slasher category, though unlike most, I feel like that franchise handles its characters far more thoughtfully. I actually might halfway give a shit about more than one person per film, lol. Or at least I'll appreciate that they tried. The "slow first half" is a thing I hear a lot from newbies to older horror films (and other genres, honestly) as it feels like most modern movies jump pretty quickly into the action. I'm so used to these films, I don't even notice unless it's done really badly. In this case, the tension, the music, the framing of shots is all pretty excellent. The acting could use some work, but this and NOES were both pretty barebones with budget so they're not hiring Denzel Washington to show up and get menaced by a stalker with knives for 10 minutes max. I prefer the imagination of NOES but the strength of H is in its concept and overall execution.

[@oneironaut420]

At that point, the anthology idea had not even been thought of yet. It was just going to be a one-off film and then Carpenter wanted to go on with other projects, which is why he passed on directing part II. It was after part II that the idea of an anthology series came up.

[@misternightstar]

True, his concept was that Myers was basically no one and that he should not really be explored further, so there was nothing planned with him. The ending is just left open because not every killer is immediately caught and who knows where someone like that could strike next? The anthology idea was already around before the sequel release though. Carpenter did not want to do more Michael Myers. The studio just wasn't going to risk dropping him until part 2 didn't meet high expectations.

[@mv28]

@@misternightstar I think you may have missed the point of the ending. It wasn't left that way because "not every killer is caught." It was a metaphor. Michael Myers is evil incarnate. A force of nature. That ending shot was proof positive for the audience that Michael was no mere mortal. Also, as has already been said, the anthology idea did not come around until Halloween III. It wasn't a twinkle in Carpenter's eye until after Halloween II.

[@misternightstar]

Talking about the final shots, I wasn't trying to imply the exact mission statement of the sequence, but simply the literal truth of what it tells us. Michael is still out there, he is not killed or caught, as is conveniently done in most films that wrap things up nicely, but this is not done purely to tell you there's another movie coming. I've heard Carpenter speak about his intentions, including the concept of Michael being "evil incarnate", so no misunderstanding there. I was just trying to elaborate on the point that the ending wasn't meant as a "to be continued" moment. It was an artistic gesture.

Great reaction, lads! Halloween is a master class in building tension. Great horror movie, and it's still good by today's standards IMO.

You should definitely check out Halloween 2, though you can honestly skip most (if not all) the sequels. Halloween 3 is completely unrelated and the rest vary from okay to bland. I personally give this one an 8 - it's not as good as Nightmare IMO, but it's still great.

[@quietdemon8138]

John Carpenter is truly a master of genre cinema, it’s good to see people are still scared by this movie I remember being a kid and being completely terrified by ‘the shape’ and John’s directing style has been hugely influential to me as an aspiring filmmaker, if you wanna watch more of his work the ones I would recommend would be 1. Assault on precinct (1976) this one had a remake in 2005 but it’s garbage 2. Escape from New York (1981) this is an awesome action adventure movie starring Kurt Russell 3. The thing (1982) gory horror that practically traumatised me as a kid that also stars Kurt Russell 4. Big trouble in little China (1986) awesome kickass action movie again starring Kurt Russell 5. Prince of Darkness (1987) very good psychological thriller with supernatural undertones, not one of his best but a pretty good movie 6. They live (1988) great science fiction movie starring wrestler Roddy Piper as a dude who travels to Los Angeles looking for work but ends up fighting more than he bargained for, it’s main draw and lasting message is John’s depiction of Ronald Reagan and his political landscape at the time which is fictionalised as .... well you’ll see if you watch it 7. Vampires (1998) and lastly this movie, as a fan of vampires and supernatural stuff this is one of my favourites, it’s story isn’t anything amazing and the performances are good but it’s again really Carpenter’s directing and the score that makes it awesome Well that’s all of them I hope I’ve given you some choices to watch from one of my favourite filmmakers

Hitchcock led the way with Psycho in 1960 in a way. Halloween was one of the first slasher movies so it wasn't the standard, it was new. Halloween was a low budget movie by a young director, it cost just $325,000 but made $60 million.

[@frankrossi6972]

Just a friendly quibble over the Dr. Loomis character. I don’t think he was meant to be “useful.” He was just a psychiatrist who cared. He didn’t have to get a gun and go after Michael himself. He easily could have left it up to local police to handle it, especially after his bosses at the asylum refused to listen to him when he warned them about Michael. He could have been bitter and said “Piss off.” On that level, he went above and beyond the call of duty. Sure, he was always one step behind Myers, which had to be the case, or the film would’ve ended about an hour in. Of course, I’m a bit biased, as I think Pleasence is one of the greatest characters actors ever, never phoning it in, and keeping it understated and dignified, yet intense. These “dead teenager” movies usually have that adult character to anchor everything in some sort of order, and he provided that in spades.

[@gr8handsftl]

Yes, you have to realize when watching this movie that there really weren't any "slasher" type movies back then. This movie started that entire genre. I have seen reactions of other KZbinrs who say things like, "They left the door open", or windows open and car doors unlocked or front/back doors unlocked. What people don't realize is, back in 1978, unless you lived in a city, we didn't lock our doors and windows. It was a very different time back then. I don't think my parents started locking doors until the early 80s. Which I might add, is how they figured out that I had watched this movie on cable when it first came to HBO. After the end of the movie, I ran around the house, turned every light on in the house and locked every door and window, my parents were out for the night. When they had to unlock the front door and opened it to find all the lights on, they knew something was up. There just wasn't this type of film out. So the scares and the "killer" getting back up, hadn't really happened as of yet. As far as Michael falling off the balcony and then not being there at the end, the Movie has a supernatural quality to it. Michael Myers is not supposed to be just a physical person. There are lines hinting at it throughout the movie. Loomis saying that "looking at Michael you could see pure evil behind his eyes". "There seems to be something else there". In the beginning, when Michael as a boy kills his sister, when his parents take off the mask, the by seems as though he didn't really know what he had done. At the very end after Loomis shot Michael, Laurie says, "He really is the boogieman?". Loomis' reply was, "As a matter of fact, it was". This was all to show that no matter what you do, Michael will return because he is the boogieman, he is evil incarnate. Watch Halloween 2, then watch the new one. Halloween 2 will give you some insight. as to the first sequel. They made the new one a direct sequel because Carpenter wasn't happy about some of the other sequels. I would have preferred that the new one would have taken place after Halloween 2, but I can understand why it was done.

Another great modern slasher that isn't very well known is You're Next (2011). Unlike other slashers, the Final Girl in this one is actually depicted as smart and resourceful, using tools and resources around her to fashion into traps and weapons to beat the killers. It's set completely new standards for slasher movies for me after being a fan of the genre for 10+ years

[@hotflesh66]

Jamie Lee Curtis was suggested for the lead since her mom Janet Leigh was in the pioneering slasher film by Alfred Hitchcock Psycho in the 1960s. Mother and daughter later starred in 2 films together including John Carpenter’s The Fog. Halloween is classic. Donald Pleasance who has done horror in the past(Raw Meat) got on board since his daughter thought the role would be a good fit. 70 Million Gross for Halloween in 1978 is the equivalent of 278 Million dollars on less than a 500K budget for inflation. The young girl that Jamie Lee ends up babysitting ends up in the reality tv franchise Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Horny teenager PJ Soles who flashes also in Carrie(1976) Now to review the less scary but fun Halloween 2. Halloween 3 not a direct sequel and skips to Halloween 4 and others. Rob Zombie did 2 Halloweens plus now the new ones Halloween,Halloween Kills then Halloween Ends. You miss a lot by watching it not in a darkened theater at the time of release too. Builds more tension plus not concentrating on making a youtube video. The OG title was called The Babysitter Murders but changed to Halloween. I do disagree and it rates in the 9s for me and comparing Nightmare on Elm Street which had a bigger budget and more production time and a different film. Compare slashers to slashers. Compare Nightmare on Elm Street to The Serpent and the Rainbow. Compare Halloween to Black Christmas (1974)
