Advantages: An absolute classic of the horror genre!!!
Disadvantages: John Carpenter just makes crap films these days!!!

...here as the version of Halloween I own on DVD has been superseded by at least one more version since I bought it - so my DVD review would not reflect everything available out there on the market at the moment!!! Anyway... Here goes!!! -------------------------------------------------- Back in the Spring of 1978, John Carpenter filmed a horror movie in a remarkable 21 days and on a shoe-string budget that would change horror films forever... This ...
...Now Myers mask in the Halloween series is a pretty screwed up white, emotionless mask with a shock of brown hair which to be honest IS pretty bloody scary... BUT... Did you know that the mask that Myers wore in Halloween was actually a William Shatner 'Captain Kirk' mask which was bought by the production crew for the incredible cost of $1.98 as they didn't have the money to design and make a mask? They trimmed away Captain James Tiberius Kirk's ... Read review

Advantages: The John Carpenter original, and H20
Disadvantages: The Curse storyline

...the film takes place on Halloween 1978, 15 years after a 6 year old killed his sister. The madman has now escaped from the asylum, donned a creepy mask, and headed back to the town of the original horror. Jamie Lee Curtis is Laurie Strode, the resourceful teenager who is stalked over the course of Halloween night by the masked man. Donald Pleasance turns up as an eerie doctor who has to try and bring Myers in alive. The performances are above average ...
...a scene from the original Halloween that subtly plays on a screen in a bar. It wasn't long before Michael returned though. After spending 10 years in a coma, he is now waking up for Halloween.

Advantages: Jamie Lee Curtis...
Disadvantages: Acting, Story, Not Scary...

♥ iNTRODUCTIOn ♥ Halloween is one of the most loved and possibly the most famous horror series of all time. It all began with Halloween, directed by John Carpenter which was released in 1978, almost thirty years ago now. It was only intended to be a small film for drive-in movies but word of mouth spread and it went on to be released worldwide, making millions. It is still ranked as one of the greatest horror movies or just movies ...
...which are just laughable now, Halloween is still terrifying to people who have never seen it. It starred Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode, a teenage babysitter who is for some reason being stalked by this masked maniac. It all comes to a soaring finale where Michael Myers (the masked maniac) is shot 6 times but still manages to get up and walk away... It was only a matter of time before a sequel was called for after the originals success and Halloween ... Read review

Advantages: Its A Night In
Disadvantages: You May Fall Asleep

...this film. I am a halloween fan and I thought this was the worst of the series. Music was very poor, and the film seemed to drag on and all you wanted it to do is end. You may end up falling asleep as its that type of film Im not saying it was totally rubbish, but compared to other halloween films, this doesnt really float my boat, and I dont think it will float yours either. I have seen all the halloween films, and this was the final one for ... Read review
