Ryan Jacobson In a sense it’s realistic because cowards do exist, but the vast majority of people would help. Well publicized events where people apparently stood by and let a violent attack happen are usually exaggerated. An example is the murder of Kitty Genovese in New York in 1964. Supposedly 38 people watched and did nothing. Actually most people heard something, looked out their windows and saw nothing wrong, so assumed it was kids playing jokes on each other. The one exception was one man who definitely knew that a woman was being attacked right outside his door, but didn’t call police because as a gay man in 1964 he was afraid of them.

Boris Karloff had a great quote about the difference between horror and terror in movies. I think it applies to Halloween, because it's about the "creepy", not the gore. Horror shocks, terror lingers. That's what the ending of Halloween implies...Michael could be out there waiting for you. That's terrifying. "Horror means something revolting. Anybody can show you a pailful of innards. But the object of the roles I played is not to turn your stomach - but merely to make your hair stand on end." - Boris Karloff

Exactly Carpenter does a great job of building tension creepiness paranoia. He also does a great job of having the audience question whether Myers is a man or pure evil even supernatural at times the ending does stick with the audience because of that he’s the Boogeyman

@punkem733 2 жыл бұрын

YES! People don't realize that carpenter wanted to make this one film, no sequels. It is terrifying to realize the bad guy actually wins. Since carpenter said he wrote Myers to be the actual boogeyman, the ending of the movie shows all the places he has been to with that breathing getting heavier implies he can be anywhere or nowhere, and that you really can't kill the boogeyman.

@KC1976fromDetroit 2 жыл бұрын

@@fuzzymeep - of course, in a purely language context. For films, they are different approaches to how you get the scares. Horror is "boo!", you jump and you get over it 5 minutes later. It's like a roller coaster. Terror gets into your head and stays there for days. It affects you long after you've seen the film. The best "terror" films are the ones that give you nightmares, or made you check under your bed for monsters when you were a kid. You might not see it that way, but most film students/enthusiasts know they are two different approaches to making scary content.

To me this is the second best score in a horror movie, Suspiria has that distinction IMO, however this is definitely the most iconic...Exorcist is right there with it. The use of music really adds to the tension and atmosphere and the right music really amplifies the film to a higher level in horror. Without the music this movie isn't anywhere near as good.

Jamie Lee Curtis was a television actress prior to being cast in Halloween. She'd appeared in TV shows like Operation Petticoat and The Love Boat. The studio originally wanted Anne Lockhart of Battlestar Galactica to play Laurie Strode, but director John Carpenter liked Jamie Lee Curtis' audition and cast her in the role, ironically having no idea that she was the daughter of Psycho actress Janet Leigh.

So, I'm probably going to leave some pretty lengthy comments on each one of these Halloween reactions. This is my favorite film of all time. I saw this when I was 6 years old and spent the next 3 weeks sleeping in my parent's bed. I have chased the horror movie dragon for 37 years now, trying to find something that would scare me more than this did at that time. Hasn't happened yet. Halloween was not the first to do any of the things we've come to know as the hallmarks of the slasher genre, but it WAS the first to distill all of the previous hallmarks into one film. Killer POV- Peeping Tom Sex=Death Connection- Psycho Final Girl- Texas Chain Saw Massacre Horror on a holiday- Black Christmas It took all of those individual elements and put them into one film that was then expertly crafted with great actors, cinematography and music. It was the most successful independent film of all time until Tennage Mutant Ninja Turtles 12 years later, and it spawned knock-off after knock-off.

@Nooziterp1 Жыл бұрын

Suspense is what makes this movie. So many that followed relied on spectacular killings and gore. Making a movie suspenseful is more difficult but more effective. Plus so many modern horror movies rely on jump-scares. 'Let's not bother with building up tension and suspense. Just have lots of jump-scares. Job done.' That is lazy movie-making. Okay so Halloween has a few jump-scares but it doesn't rely on them to the exclusion of anything else as so many others do.

"What's the matter Bob? Can't I get your ghost?" was a play on words. The actual phrase is, "get your goat," which means to be tongue-tied, befuddled, caught off guard. It is similar to another old saying: "Did the cat get your tongue?" She used it in a polysemic way (having a double meaning), as the ghost was already not speaking and was not showing any apparent interest. She couldn't "get his goat"/beguile him.

They just did an episode of "The Movies that Made Us' on Halloween. Was really cool to see the choices they made when it came stylizing the film. Was incredible for the era when everything else was super gory. An ode to the days of Hitchcock and using suspense instead of special effects to really creep out viewers. And it gave birth to one of the most timeless horror icons in existence with The Shape.

Halloween is hardly for everyone, I love it personally, but let's not pretend like it's some sort of untouchable masterpiece. It's hella slow and people just aren't into that, it's widely misunderstood (people still think Myers is a human somewhat amusingly), it's got ever so slightly forced dialogue and if the tone, atmosphere and characters don't draw you in, well there simply isn't much left to draw you in. It isn't exactly a "fun" horror film in the way that people might seek out today (or even in the 80s).

A point on the trick'or'treating - I wasn't around for this much, because I was born in the 1980s, but in the late 1960s and 1970s a lot of communities began doing trick'or'treating in the late afternoon as a way to cut down on drug activity, child kidnapping, and other potential hazards. My mom remembers it in a number of communities around us, and as an ER nurse, she remembers the razor blades and other things that used to get into candy. A few communities around me still do it earlier in the day, and many others have gone to the "trunk-or-treat" style of doing Halloween.

@adgato75 2 жыл бұрын

Maybe it is regional. I am in the Midwest ( Indiana , very close to Illinois border ) , and in the 70s and 80s , we started trick-or-treating at around 6 pm. But that was mostly VERY young kids that still needed an adult. By eleven or twelve years old , we just went out in groups , without an adult. And stayed out until at least 10 pm , far after it had gotten dark.

The notion was for the face behind the mask to look "angelic" which was the only reason they brought in that dude to play un-masked Michael that day. Nick Castle kinda looked a little goofy and harmless without the mask on. And yeah, Carpenter later admitted that they should've put some blood around the wound to make it clear that it _was_ a wound from the past 5 minutes and not some deformity. Because so many people made that mistake, possibly due to the low-budget '70s facial appliance not really indicating what it was meant to. Sort of takes away from whole intended angelic thing when everybody's left asking "What's wrong with his face?"
