Goddamn do I miss renting movies. I miss the smell of the plastic VHS boxes. Is that weird? Good.

Now I know how to ask a girl to watch movies with me

Damn...LOVED that intro John. Halloween is so important and easily one of the greatest films ever. I even drove 15 hours to Pasadena, CA to visit some of the key locations of the film and it's an experience I'll never forget. Any, great review man...and happy Halloween!!

I was ten years old when Halloween hit the theaters in 1978, my uncle took me to a Robby benson movie called ice castles. Before the movie started they showed a trailer for Halloween, which was playing in the next cinema. I told my uncle that I was going to the bathroom in actuality I went to Halloween. I stood at the entrance of the cinema, the part I saw was when bob went into the kitchen and michael Myers popped out of the closet. I heard the girls in the audience scream, I jumped when I felt a hand on my shoulder, it was the usher "what movie are you supposed to be seeing?" He asked. I replied "ice castles." " I suggest you get back there" I went back to my movie with my heart racing and 12 years later I bought Halloween on VHS from sears and watched it in my creepy basement.

The pazuzu faces in The Exorcist always stuck with me as a incredibly eerie visual.

Did you and Chris Stuckman plan this :) Keep up the great work and Happy Friggin' Halloween! For me, the Scary Visual scene that stuck with me forever, was the Chest Defibrillation scene in The Thing. As a kid it was terrifying and amazing. As an adult it makes me smile every time and the visuals (the entire movie actually) has held up flawlessly.

I love Halloween it's my favorite Horror movie of all time. It scared me as a kid and since then it's stuck with me. It scared me so much I couldn't sleep after watching this movie when I was eleven years old.

Good point about the film not looking like it took place in fall.

I watched this video last Halloween, and IDK why but I ABSOLUTELY love it. PLEASE make another one this Halloween !!!!

"What is this day, some kind of... Halloween?" By the way, we still have "Blockbusters" in Finland, the name here is Filmtown. I sometimes rent some movies from the one near me because Netflix doesn't have as many movies in Finland. But yeah, it's always magical :)

this was a nice throwback to the parody video from 2011, great review, i love halloween directing and lighting are fantastic and the score of course is amazing, so many memorable scenes, it builts atmosphere and suspense so well

Great review. One of the scariest images in a horror movie that still freaks me out is in Jeepers Creepers. When they drive by the old church, and he's dumping a body down a pipe, turns, and watches them drive by. Freaks me out still.

A scene that always stuck with me was in Psycho (1962) when Martin Balsam's character looks at the camera and asks,, to himself, who's really buried in the mother's grave. Quite disturbing, and it surprises me that no-one ever talks about that moment.

Sadako crawling out of the TV was one of the most disturbing visuals in a horror movie and affected me deeply.

This film and the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre are the standout horror (slasher) films during that time for me personally.

This film is utterly phenomenal and may just be my favorite horror movie of all time. I absolutely love it!

For me it's the original 70's T.V. Movie of Salems Lot. I saw it younger than I probably should and the scenes that always stuck with me were: the kid appearing at the window, the first appearance of The Master and David Soul shitting himself when a body gets up in the morgue,'Bill, Bill!' A classic I return to often. Great reviews man, keep it up!

Excellent review!Halloween is my number 1 all time favorite horror film.

Loved the intro John! You & Brittany both have such great chemistry on camera.

That's who you moved cross-country for? Well done! Best of luck to you both.

johnny depps death in the first nightmare movie. i was always scared to listen to my headphones while i was laying down after seeing that.

And wow, watching that opening scene in that grainy VHS quality, I wonder how much scarier the movie would be in that quality, compared to picture perfect blu ray quality. Completely agree about the silhouette scene with Tommy gives me the chills every single time, without fail. Love that scene.

I was just watching Halloween when I got the notification that you posted this.

Chris and flick pick both review Halloween and both give it *spoiler* an A. That's suspicious

This isn't really a horror film but I always remember the visual in Signs when it just cuts to the shot of the alien standing on the roof outside the window. That, plus the moment when you first see footage of an alien freaked me out when I first saw it. I was afraid to walk upstairs to bed in the darkness!

After I watched this film for the first time two years ago, I walked my dogs. We had a hedge on our street similar to the one in the film. I literally got goosebumps walking past it and thought Michael was going to kill me

Scream 2, 2 scenes stuck with me forever. 1. the scene where Gale is in a room quietly trying to hide from Ghostface who is in the same room, and 2. The scene where Sidney and her friend have to climb over a passed out Ghostface in the driver seat of a crashed cop car. Those 2 scenes had me shaking the first time I watched them!

My earliest Halloween memory: my mom had it on VHS back in the day (with the same cover as yours in the video), and when I asked if I could watch it, I got a "hell no". I shrugged it off initially, only to overhear some kids talking about it at school. The seed was planted: I had to see it. On the last day of third grade, I stayed up late, waited until everyone went to bed, and then I watched the taboo tape... it put the fear of God into me. The shot where Michael's face slowly appears from the darkness behind Jamie Lee was a staple in my nightmares. And then it kind of sort of became one of my favorite movies of all time.

You and Chris gave this movie an A, this makes me happy :)

hahaha that intro was awesome!

That intro was Fucking Badass!

A scene that always stuck with me when I was a kid was the Sloth scene in Se7en and since watching that when I was a kid it's one of my all time favorite movies!

I love Halloween, truly a classic

The imagery from a horror movie that stuck with me the most was from The Exorcist when it shows a flash image of the demon against a completely black background. For some reason that scared the SHIT out of me and I genuinely couldn’t sleep after because I kept seeing that face lol.

So original, parodying the intro to Halloween in a Halloween review

Wow you and chris stuckmann both reviewing Halloween I guess I have to watch it

my goto Halloween movie. John Carpenter's. The Fog... Absolutely love it and not just because im an Adriene Barbeau fan..but because who really knows what might be lurking in the fog...HAPPY HALLOWEEN. JOHN.

My all time favourite horror flick. Couldn't agree more with your review.

Since John said "is there a scary visual that sticks you out" mine would be The Conjuring movies thanks to trees. The tree in the first Conjuring did look creepy but it's backstory is very disturbing, and the second during the climax that tree man I got the chills every time I think about that scene it was one of the most intense climaxes ever put in a horror movie.

one of the truest horror movie classic of all time. .

awesome review on my favorite horror film ever are you going to do the rest of them

dude you really should get the new remastered version, so much better picture/sound plus the new extra features are great!

Halloween never gets old at all especially if I watch it every single minute Halloween will always be one of my favorite classic horror

I'm the same way with looking outside at night. Every time I look out the garden window, I expect to see a dark figure like Michael standing out there. I saw this movie much too young but it managed to become my absolute favorite scary movie. It's so good. :)

No shit I watched this movie earlier today. It's a tradition of mine as well and was dying laughing at the Lynda character. The dialogue where she says book 6 times had me laughing

I think that's why H4 is so beloved. Even though some of it is hot poo, it FEELS like Halloween in Haddonfield more so than any other. Probably your best review buddy. Awesome shits.

Hey John. Like the review. Where did you get that awesome X-Wing shirt. That is one cool shirt.

I'm rewatching this video in 2022 and still love it

The Fog always stuck with me.Underrated gem of Carpenter.

I love the Halloween series, but I can say my memory was the basement scene in H.6, I still look behind every corner in any basement I'm in lol.

Best Halloween movie ever Part 1 & 2 thanks for reviewing it

That goddamn head spinning scene in The Exorcist always stuck with me.

In my teens the grudge got me looking around !!😔 definitely scared the crap out me I can't even be safe under my cover !

The Howling and An American Werewolf In London. They always scared me as a kid. Two of my favorite films in the horror genre. Happy Halloween everybody!

Hey John! I totally agree with your review! Love this 1978 classic! I give it a 10/10 and it scared the sh** outta me when I first saw it as a kid and it still sends chills down my spine. I always watch it every HALLOWEEN, in the dark late at night on surround sound after the trick or treaters are done for the night. John Carpenter is AWESOME! Love the soundtrack and the eerie dark atmosphere of the film.

Great video! Bring back the podcast please!!

Jaws still sticks with me haha never will I go swimming so deep in the ocean where i don't see my feet

Chucky. I was like 3-4 years old and my mom, sister and cousin wanted to watch it and till this day I still remember crying myself to sleep.

The same visual you are talking about with Michael Myers is what I get when I saw "It" and the woman in the movie drives by pennywise holding balloons ..

Michael popping his head through the closet while trying to get to Laurie is a picture that will always be in my head. Terrified me as a kid

the dream scene in pet sematary where zelda turns to the camera. it's sudden but not jumpscary. its creepy and you can't look away.

I'm so glad to see more and more reviewers developing their own intro-sketches like I've been doing for years - they're so fun to watch!

I don't remember many movies scaring me, but I do remember that after watching Jaws, whenever I was swimming I was afraid to look behind me because I was afraid there was a shark.

Halloween 1978 is the reason i'm a horror/suspense movie fan! I watched it as a kid and it scared the hell out of me! I used to see Michael Myers shadow in the dark at night before i went to bed for months after seen the movie.Halloween season never been the same after that movie! And since then i watch it every Halloween season.For me it is a unique experience and a masterpiece.Love it so much.

I saw this movie for the first time when I was 11 at a sleepover and the scene that stuck with me was when Michael Myers has the sheet over him with the glasses lol omg I did not sleep for awhile after that lol this is def a must see every year!

I'm gonna watch the babadook tonight, finally. I've been too scared watch it😂

The kitchen table seen from Insidious. I can not unsee that ever.

You ain't alone there chief, the subtle scenes worked

R.I.P. Blockbuster... ): I remember renting the Godzilla movies on vhs and becoming a fan afterwards.

I don't remember what or where it was from, i just remember I was young and it scared me to death! It might've been a tales from the crypt episode or movie all I remember is a girl being in a car, i don't remember why or how but something I think was after her and she had a hard time starting the car and for some reason she didn't shut and lock the door? but whatever the creature was crawled up to her, she screams, and it freezes on her screaming and everything turned into comic book pages? That would be my first ever scary memory. That and the original exorcist...that scene with her crawling down the stairs...scarred

Scenes that stuck with me? In "A Nightmare on Elm Street" where Nancy is talking to Freddy on the phone and the bottom half of the phones becomes Freddy's tongue

my local movie rental store will close by the end of the year. That really sucks!

The Exorcist still haunts me in my sleep and in my everyday living. Can't watch it even after 40 years later.

Halloween and The thing are my two fave horror movies

Halloween is an absolute classic!! It’s one of the greatest horror films of all time!! It blew me away!

The end of sleepaway camp with Angela's face and that house she (he) makes stuck with me the whole time

Silver bullet bridge firework scene scares the shit out of me to this day

Amazing🙌

The photo at 3:17 why isn't that in the movie anymore? just after Laurie fall over banister and down the stairs Michael looks over. But it's gone I had this film on vhs on that scene was in it??

this movie is obviously a classic and OG horror flick, but it's pretty tame today when watching with people that haven't seen it before.

there was a movie I don't know the name of but a woman was ironing or something and she looked up and saw a ghost with a long flowing dress coming down the hallway and that image stuck with me to this day.

Poltergeist! That's my all time favourite horror movie. It's perfect!

Christine is one of my favourite horror movies. it's not really scary but I remember watching it with my big bro back in the 80's.

Intro was bad ass man

Great video dude

I'm watching this review about Halloween at 3:20am. ....WTF!? am I thinking lmfao!!!!!!

I might make it a tradition to watch the original the thing from another world much like John's homage to it in the first Halloween

5:10 the changeling 1980 the ball falling down the stairs scene

the belly scene from the thing 1982 always stuck with me

best way to watch Halloween is on Christmas day, in your underwear and that intro!!!

The horror image I'll always remember is when Jason jumped through the window in Friday the 13th part 2. That unmasked Jason scared the pee out of me when I watched it with my cousin. The reason it scared me so much is that I was only 6 or 7. 👀👀

The Exorcist is my all time favorite horror movie. It's my all time favorite movie in general.

John Carpenter is a master. He makes amazing films...and amazing music for them. How more badass can he be? As far as a scary visual that stucked with me goes...I would say the red monster first appearance in Insidious or the dog transformation in The Thing.

I saw I think it was troll 2, but I'm not sure if that's what it was, as a kid and at the end there was a ball bouncing on the stairs to the kid that said something like your mommy's good and when we went down the stairs he saw these 3 or 4 creatures eating him mom which they had turned into a green slime. that scared the crap outta me as a kid and I had dreams about it for years lol

The one scene in a movie that gives me chills is in saw where jigsaw slams door shut saying “game over” and the last thing you here is Adam’s scream *gaaah*

Captain howdy over the stove top in the exorcist

I have the exact replica of the mask from the second movie

The first time I watched Halloween was last night at the Beacon. It was also the first horror movie I saw in theaters, yeah, that's a cool first!

I loved the slow pacing of the movie and my favorite parts about it are the scenes in which he is stalking people

John do you have a favorite movie? Awesome videos by the way!
