Review: This is addressed to all those who disparaged Halloween...and to explain why it is well nigh the greatest movie ever made, with Suspiria a close rival...first, the brilliant casting of Donald Pleasance and Jamie Lee Curtis, and the real (sorry) star of the film, Nancy Loomis...the music is phenomenal. Really outstanding. The fright is not from seeing lots of blood (as if that's really frightening and not just unseemly), it's from the idea that on a little night in 1978 evil visited small town U.S.A. and then left as mysteriously as it came (I don't consider any of the sequels anywhere near this film at all). Evil visited Haddonfield. And sorry, the scene were Jamie enters the house and finds all her friends dead is the scariest scene ever filmed...not for shock value, but for disturbing terror. Get Halloween, love Halloween, watch it at least every October 31 - Samhain.
