Halloween Unmasked (Documentary - The Making Of Halloween I)

Halloween Unmasked - Documentary - The Making Of Halloween I

[@DXNewington]

The first Halloween was a thorough masterpiece and one of the creepiest horrors ever. The music and sounds are very effective and no matter what age, I'll always be looking over my shoulder after watching Halloween at night, in the dark. It's the perfect horror film.

[@emilygriffin5077]

I 100% agree with you. It's (to me) the greatest horror film. The remakes really disappoint me because it's strays too far from the original movie.. Also love Leather Face.

[@shawna2529]

and Black Christmas (original)

[@thegreenmyro]

In my opinion i wish that the remakes where sequels to the original halloween movies instead of stupid remakes by rob zombie.

[@kjnap653]

For me the best horror film EVER

[@anthonysopran4342]

Kj Nap Absolutely

[@TrainmasterCurt]

Yes

[@caliden3785]

[@DScottWhitaker]

I seen the movies, both Halloween 1 and 2 during the dawn of cable TV at the totally inappropriate age of 9 years old. They gave me very bad nightmares, even today.... at 42 years old I will have a Michael Myer nightmare twice a year or so. No other horror film effected me this way and I have seen them all.

[@alexroyster182]

I remember my cousin and I begging my uncle to take us to Halloween II when it came out in 1981, I was seven and he bought us both tickets, he and my other cousin went to time bandits and we got the shit scared out of us, for years as a kid I had Myers dreams, I'm 40 now and still once in a while I have them. It's crazy as an adult I still get those dreams, but it goes to show how scary those movies are. Still love the franchise, just don't really care for the last two, hopefully they make a good new one to make up for those ones.

[@DScottWhitaker]

I am with you on that Matt, just could not capture the feel of the originals. Time Bandits.... ahhh man.... there is a classic. Be careful.... that is pure concentrated evil...LOL

[@ak40kevn]

Saw it when I was 6. I'm 26 now and I still have nightmares of him lurking around.

[@omegasupreme5527]

want me to hold your hand old timer?

[@DScottWhitaker]

LOL... No doubt Kamijo... It did work it's way deep into my gray matter....

[@KarmicOmen]

Michael Myers had no lines ... all he had to do was power walk and breathe to be frightening. It worked like a charm!! The actor, when Michael's face is revealed, was Tony Moran ... the older brother of Erin Moran, who played Joanie Cunningham on the 70's television sitcom Happy Days.

[@the60sKid]

Yes but Director Nick Castle of The Last Starfighter fame was Michael Myers throughout the rest of the film.

[@Crystasorrow]

***** That was the whole concept...they wanted someone who had a young and pretty good looking face so that when the viewer saw his face under the mask, they would wonder how such a good looking guy was evil like he was

[@BacknMetro]

Not to mention, the young boy Michael was cute and angelic looking too.

[@DarksaberForce]

according to Dick Warlock (Michael in part 2) Tommy Lee Wallace did more masked scenes than Nick Castle like the knife to the wall kill.

[@anthonysopran4342]

Angel Deville NICK CASTLE Got payed $25 A Day to Walk around and Stalk People..Hotties

[@AflamnaElHelwa]

mustapha alakad is a legend . R I P MUSTAPHA .

[@theresaconnor2135]

Totally agree. A horrible way to die.

[@gansdavid]

I was 6 when this came out and saw it at the movies (my father was the manager and my mom was concessionaire worker) we were living in Germany at the time. It was hands down the scariest movie ever and often gave me nightmares.. up till today (I'm 43) nothing I've ever seen compares to it, and the crazy thing is there was no blood or gore... it was just genuinely SCARY!

[@marykay8587]

David Gans cause noone likes to be stalked or followed

[@the60sKid]

Donald Pleasence really SOLD you on the evil and menace of Michael Myers. This film is a masterpiece on so many levels. It will never be replicated, Just like Hitchcock's PSYCHO.

[@gweflj]

Fully agreed regarding Pleasance. He made the film.

[@sha11235]

He was great in the film. And I'd want him as my doctor anytime if I were in a mental institution.

[@paulanthony5274]

I like the way he refers to Myers as "It" even before he kills,like he knew he was totally non human

[@BacknMetro]

truth monger yeah. It's not scary without it. In the documentary, someone said that some audience members had to cover their ears. It was too scary to watch otherwise.

[@anthonysopran4342]

the60sKid He got payed $40,000 For his 5 Days and 23 Mins of Time in the Movie Jamie Lee only Got Payed $8000 And Carpenter got Payed $7.8 MILLION as of today...10% of the Gross..Akkad got the most He put in $305,000 And got payed $16 MILLION

[@deeskers1]

I'm from the Midwest and Fall is my absolute favorite time of year. So, it is a nod to a great director and producer that I have watched that movie many times over the past 30 years and it was not until 10 years ago or so that I realized that all of the trees are green! (With the exception of the old brown leaves fluttering down in front of the actors). When a movie's suspense draws you into the characters and plot and you don't notice very obvious discrepancies...well, that's talent.

[@LucHale]

What a bunch of great filmmaking...

[@olympicjbrag5913]

This is the only horror movie that stayed with me my whole life. This...and Evil Dead 1. But Halloween's theme song......still pushes my heart rate up.

[@jordanjuarvis8040]

I'm a sophomore in high school and I was shocked to learn kids at my school say they're horror movie fans and when I ask them about Halloween, Friday The 13th, A Nightmare On Elm Street, or Scream they say they've never heard of them.

[@JonSmith-xz3wu]

scream is shit.

[@stephanieray3227]

That's sad. Those movies are classic

[@Bob-eo3gf]

OK maybe your opinion but it was a huge blockbuster hit.

[@screamrad218]

+Jon Smith Well, thats your opinion. But, when that movie came out that movie reinvented the Slasher genre, that i grew to love.

[@thegreenmyro]

Im just 11 and i know all of them! I even collect their masks

[@JD_ATX]

Been looking for this documentary for awhile. Thanks so much for posting it. :)

[@captxena31]

me too

[@johnnybryant2342]

My Favorite Scary Movie of all Time!

[@nightsofthefilms]

"Hey Laurie strode alright! " is priceless lol :-D:-D

[@talktalk2412]

Donald Pleasence's acting in this is off the chart.

[@raybarrett8639]

I like original movies like Halloween ,Friday The 13th ,Candyman, and Texas Chainsaw Massacre

[@ODA-392]

Carpenter is one of the Greatest Horror Movie directors ever. HALLOWEEN & THE THING just cant be topped. We grew up with those and they branded us.

[@h2bizzle]

That mask always freaked me out!!! I don’t scare easily either!

[@dougwickselljr3946]

1 of my all time favorite movies

[@battousaiblade]

the remake (rob zombies version) scared me more the 70s version never scared me. idk if it's because i'm from a different generation or what. but Tyler's version of Michael Myers, frightened me to death. he was taller, more intimidating, stronger and had this presence that had me screaming

[@DarksaberForce]

battousaiblade Tyler would've been a better fit for Jason.

[@anthonysopran4342]

battousaiblade Really?Wow rare man..H1/78 Was spooky..RZ Halloween 1 Was good but H2 SUCKED ASS..So bad

[@ccjjpp1966]

Halloween #1, then The Exorcist and The Shining are my favorite horror movies. Halloween is far above the other two as my favorite.

[@jessicapazo7718]

Easily my favorite horror movie of all time.

[@sha11235]

Amazing stuff, although some I had heard before.

[@billjohnston4603]

I like carpenter's Halloween, did not like rob zombie s!

[@OOOGhost-girlOOOshhhhh]

me too always 1st movie is the best.

[@marykay8587]

Bill Johnston I loved Rob Zombies Halloween but nothing beats the original

[@ricardocisnero3931]

Hell no! The rob zombies movies ruined Laurie Strode's character!

[@Youngboysnippets_]

@@ricardocisnero3931no it didn’t

[@galoforte8574]

Donald pleasence the best actor.

[@philomeanasandopenocen8368]

Great movie,

[@MoviesTubeYou0675]

I use to have that model of Michael Myers that's behind Moustapha Akkad. It was a model kit that needed to be assembled and painted, and if memory serves me right, it was 3 pieces to assemble: the upper torso which was the raised right arm, the left arm, and the legs. And the additional piece was the Jack-O-Lantern.

[@davidsanders9285]

a big fave of mine. RIP Debra Hill

[@JonSmith-xz3wu]

she's not dead is she?

[@MoviesTubeYou0675]

+Jon Smith Yeah, I believe in 2006, a couple or several months after Moustapha Akkad's untimely and tragic passing in November of 2005.

[@JonSmith-xz3wu]

+MoviesTubeYou0675 that's a shame. thank you.

[@phantomcollector1976]

a masterpiece

[@Rique562]

I really liked your clip.

[@markmnorcal]

Even this documentary freaks me out.

[@otaking3582]

Michael Myers is dead?! I know The Love Guru was a bad movie, but he didn't need to die because of it!

[@wallysmith9162]

You can't kill that son of a bitch.

[@coreyharris6360]

I remember when it first came out...scary as hell!! Now you can watch it like it's nothing but back in 1978 there was nothing like it. The only horror movie where people talked about it for weeks. It did something too you. Finally, someone who came along and kicked horror straight in it's ASS!! John Carpenter actually got it right!! Before Michael Myers there were vampires(Dracula), mummies, Frankenstein, the werewolf, ghost, and the devil as the main killers except for Psycho(1960). He is the first icon killer. Jason and Freddy Krueger along with others come after. It's still the all time classic and my favorite horror movie!

[@leonardbrooks]

Love this movie.....John Carpenter knew what he was doing....genius....... I love how they made Southern California in the spring look like the Mid West in the fall........

[@starfox1]

i read that the producers wanted the original actor who played tommy doyle to reprise his role for halloween 6, curse of michael myers but they couldnt find him . since hes in this doc i wonder how they finally located him

[@BtXpGaming]

think paul rudd got the par. 40 YR OLD VIRGIN PAUL RUDD. weird someone so funny first movie i ever see them in is a horror film

[@darrenarnold7759]

what i dont understand is why they imported a different actor for the end scene where myers is unmasked...why not just unmask nick castle.?

[@sclerismockrey8506]

Castle didn't look young enough, and didn't look like the young Michael.

[@MrSuperDerpy]

Actually John Carpenter asked for a "angelic" looking face, to show that MM was just a normal person, not disfigured etc...

[@BacknMetro]

In another documentary, it's mentioned that Nick Castle was too goofy looking or looked too happy and content to be a mad killer.

[@thegreenmyro]

Etc JASON VOORHEES

[@Jonathanhorrorz]

Thrill House but yet he was pure evil ? How can he be a normal person lmfao

[@rajreddy288]

classic

[@jimmypopt.v.3037]

I wish that a comprehensive documentary on the entire Halloween series would be made as both the Friday The 13th and Elm Street films both have in depth and lengthy film/documentaries based upon each franchise.

[@screamrad218]

Yeah. like they did. Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy.

[@jimmypopt.v.3037]

I know they did. Re read what i wrote. I`m aware of the Freddy and Jason docs.

[@screamrad218]

[@struggler6864]

You can't kill The Boogeyman.

[@MrXavierRose]

Think about it, all the low budget horrors of the late 70's and early 80's were a hit - Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday The 13th -- And they weren't successful because they were big budget Hollywood diamonds, they were popular because the director worked hard and pushed a dream into reality! Hollywood need to rethink how they make films these days, take from the past (not remakes and reboots) and use that to inspire our on screen art without diluting it into a film full of crappy CGI effects. The film industry needs to go back to basics.

[@ottabee]

THANK-YOU!

[@Casablancajh]

Halloween, via John Carpenter, energised the genre - it had gone dormant after the hit Psycho. No one took the genre seriously...until John Carpenter had a little idea :)

[@Ariel-pi6lw]

Also in H20 Laurie states to her boyfriend she faked her death to escape but in the beginning of part 4 the storyline implys that she has just left , there's alota holes in all the sequels , which is why they should have never made another one without Carpeneters vision , pt 2 plot Carpenter didn't like all the back story BS either
