I have no idea why I like these movies. I started watching them when I was 13. I’m 14 now. I’m not a bad girl watching rated R movies, I just like to scare myself to death. Its fun. hehe. The first Halloween will always be my favorite. I like the second Halloween but I think they got a little creative with the digital effects. I watched all excet for h20, 6 and 3. I have 1 and 2. The Halloween series are the only horror movies I watched. Well, I gtg. God bless you all. Julia, VT

Being an old man now born in the 60′s and remembering the 70′s (maybe naively) as a somewhat ‘safe’ era,compared to what seem a rather violent ,aggressive era now, i can always remember the first time i saw Halloween 1. It seemed then that those things could potentially happen (hence the creepiness) but generally did not, and therefore i was pleasantly spooked out. However, nowadays it does happen, regularly, therefore Halloween released today i feel would probably be a non entity. Will always love halloween though for giving me my first and regrettably only genuine screen scare(s). The acting was mediocre, trees in autumn (fall) generally colour up and lose their leaves as opposed to staying green accompanied by spring bird song, but what the hell? At the end of the day a classic which has brought many people a lot of pleasure. Great website by the way. Cheers, Andy, UK

Jamie Lee Curtis is by far the best screamer (screamerette?!) in the business. But my guess is that her curves have helped as well…
Hmmm another great nonsensical comment

What I always thought was so good (and scary) about this film is that it really could happen – a psycho, a murderer… in a small town… but then it gets ruined at the end when Michael survives all sorts of fatal accidents such as falling off balconies etc. I thought that was shame, but then, they needed 7 sequels it seems…

In which he survives countless other fatal accidents. He reminds me of the coyote in the Roadrunner cartoons

I used to love Halloween when I was younger, and to be honest I still like it. Carpenter creates some wordefrful moments of suspense in the film, but you just have to laugh at how stupid the kids are, especially Jamie Lee Curtis. I mean, you’ve stabbed the guy – you don’t check to see if he’s dead and then you get up, walk away – and LEAVE THE KNIFE NEXT TO HIM!!!!!! Some people deserve to be slashed! Still, top little film and one all serious Horror fans should know by heart. As for the sequels, you can forget them all – although I do have a bizarre preference for Halloween 3 : Season of the Witch. But perhaps that’s ’cause it has sod all to do with Michael Myers and lots to do with mad scientists and evil man eating masks. (I kid you not)
