5 жыл бұрынEvil has come to your little corner of KZfaq. Kicking off my undertaking of the entire Halloween franchise, we start with the timeless classic...the one that started it all...the night he came home. John Carpenter's Halloween was a game changer for the horror genre and inadvertently kicked off the slasher craze of the 1980's. What about this original film, Halloween, makes it continuously stand above the pack in the franchise and the standard that all slashers are measured against?

I think the closest thing Michael had to a motive in the original was to recreate Judith's murder as a twisted way to celebrate 15 years since he'd committed it.

The best part about the history of michael Myers is that John carpenter was inspired by a young boy he witnessed at a psych ward in his youth says the boy just stared at him with blank pale evil stare..

To be completely honest, Donald Pleasence was utterly brilliant in this film. Utterly magnificent. Every time I see this performance, I remind myself that any bozo could have played Michael. Pleasence had to build quite a lot of the character and plot developments with his dialogue. The man doesn’t get enough credit for this role (and I write that knowing he gets acclaimed for this role from fans of horror)

What's genius about the mask is it fits Loomis's description of Michael's face under it. Michael for all intents and purposes is wearing a mask of his own face. Michael and Freddy are 2 different kinds of evil. Freddy loves every minute of what he does but Michael is cold, emotionless and uncaring about his actions.
@stevekrueger8386
My pet peeve is when Laurie "kills" Michael and then tosses the knife right next to him. She did it TWICE

A couple of years ago I saw this movie on the big screen at a theatre that shows old movies. It was part of a double feature with A Nightmare On Elm Street.

The greatest horror movie ever made.
@JoeWinter-ky8xo
What I find very interesting is that Michael Myers as a character exhibited behaviors that actual serial killers do - the stalking, strangling their victims with their hands, staging of the bodies. This was all depicted in the film. Very interesting.

Annie's death wasn't totally strangulation. She got her throat cut, too. Haha.

Yes, it was unique the way Carpenter portrayed things.

Nick Castle's natural gait/walk made him Michael terrifying like you said The scene where he just sits straight up and turns his head like a robot in one fluid moment always scares the hell out of me!

I really think it was that simplicity that IS the genius of the original Halloween. No $10 million budget, NO convoluted, crazy ass back story OR all these little unrelated subplots used as filler. Just Carpenter's vision, a group of friends with talent & some excellent camera work. Sometimes that's all you need to make an iconic movie. Carpenter & Romero will always be 2 of my faves in the horror world!
@AAllen-br8it
That intro was unnecessarily badass. If this was how a Myers movie began I would have been so freaking hyped upon "because he's back." lol

Surprisingly, John Carpenter asked the director of Black Christmas what he would do about a Halloween movie, and he said a patient escaped from an asylum! And i think the movie had inspiration from the mask of Eyes Without A Face 1960, totally recommend you these two movies!
