Halloween

"Halloween is, was and ever shall be the alpha & omega of boogeyman flicks." - Entertainment Weekly

25 years ago, director John Carpenter changed the shape of terror forever with the immortal story of babysitter Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis), Dr. Sam Loomis (Donald Pleasence) and the night that Michael Myers came home. Roger Ebert still proclaims it "Superb." Entertainment Weekly calls it "the granddaddy of teen-slasher flicks, still more primal and frightening than any of the gazillion knock-offs." 25 years later, Halloween remains one of the greatest horror movies ever made.

For this landmark 25th Anniversary Edition, Anchor Bay has created a stunning new high-definition wide-screen transfer of the classic film, plus an unprecedented collection of bonus features that will surprise even the most hardcore fans. Celebrate this remarkable milestone in horror history with the ultimate two-disc edition of Halloween like you've never seen or heard it before!

Good Horror Movie. - sampid

John Carpenter's Halloween is quite frankly a horror masterpiece. It tells the immortal story of escaped mental patient Michael Myers, who returns to his hometown on Halloween night to stalk and kill a group of babysitters.

This was the first and without doubt the best in the Halloween franchise. Carpenter shows great restraint in pacing the story very slowly and building likable characters; unusual for a horror picture.

The perfect horror film - jeffoneonone

What can I say about my favorite movie of all time? What can I say about a film so frightening even its TRAILER still gives me goosebumps? Do I care that this movie spawned the pathetic "slasher" subgenre of horror? Not in the slightest, because not a single one of its imitators ever came close to the subliminal terror this movie unleashes on your psyche. What you have with Halloween is something altogether more sophisticated. Within its simple story is buried subtext of sexual repression, conformity and -- the real money theme that has unfortunately been downplayed by a series of sequels that have shot the original storyline in ridiculous directions -- fate.

Even its faults are endearing; Donald Pleasance has some fairly corny dialogue that he somehow manages to not only pull off but make the film even more creepy. And the performances by Pleasance and Jamie Lee Curtis (not to mention the astounding study in body language offered by the actor who played The Shape -- sorry, his name eludes me at the moment) more than carry some of the lesser performances.

Kudos to John Carpenter for making an epic horror film on a shoestring budget of $300,000. Halloween is a film that deserves to be associated more with the works of Hitchcock than twaddle such as Friday the 13th and other needlessly-gory knock-offs (which, unfortunately, include some of the sequels to this classic film). Turn off the lights and prepare to be scared out of your wits.

my2cents- the mother of all slasher films - gerard

Before there was The Boogeyman, Scream,I know what you did last summer, there was Halloween. Anyone familiar to horror films recognizes the chilling piano/music that symbolizes this film. A mark of a great film is one's ability to permantly engrave a scene/music/character in the audiences brain. From Mike Myers mask to the terrifying atmosphere, this film is and will always be the bench mark that all true slasher films follow. This also marks John carpenters 1st film into a brilliant carrerr that has expanded four decades. If your in the mood to be scared to death, rent Halloween, the mother of all slasher films.
