Avis sur le produitHalloween DVD HORROR HALLOWEEN Michael Myers RARE oop art cover

A CLASSIC THAT GETS BETTER WITH AGE!

I am one of the biggest horror movie fans you'll ever know. I own a personal collection of more that 1000 films along with an impressive memorabilia stockpile containing autographs, posters, props, etc. Of all of the items I own, my Halloween DVDs are by far my favorites and the original Halloween is the best! This is the film that started it all. Without Michael Myers there would never have been a Jason Voorhees or Freddy Krueger. John Carpenter and Debra Hill put everything they had into this film and it shows. With a budget under $300,000 they created million dollar scares!
Everyone knows the story, Michael Myers kills his older sister on Halloween as a little boy and escapes from his mental institution years later to hunt down his younger sister. The mood of the film is what really makes it creepy and keeps it from seeming dated. Jamie Lee Curtis gives a star making performance and Donald Pleasance is incredible! On the way to hunting down his sister, Myers takes out everyone that gets in his way The tension builds throughout because most of the murders take place towards the end of the film. It's by no means a bloodbath and that's what makes it more creepy. The really gory stuff is left to the viewers imagination.
This film is fantastic for viewing late at night in the dark and I compare it to Jaws for one reason. Jaws is one of the few movies that when you come across it while flipping channels, you can start watching it from any point and keep it on until the end. Halloween is that epic horror film that doesn't come along often and is frequently copied, but never duplicated!Lire l'avis complet...

John Carpenter's Halloween (1978)

Wow! This horror film simply titled Halloween hardly describes really what the film is about. Halloween night 1963, in Haddonfield, Illinois, six-year-old Michael Myers killed his older sister Judith. Fifteen years later, he returns from Shady Acres back to his home town to kill once again, this time targeting his younger sister, (later described in the stunning sequal), Laurie Strode, her two best friends and a boyfriend of one of theirs. For a seriously low budget film, the movie has done extremely well, spawning seven sequals, one of which is set for a twenty year anniversary storyline set in 1998. Who knows what will become of this film over time. Let's just hope the Myers legend will be passed on to the next generation, soon.Lire l'avis complet...

It's Halloween, everyone's entitled to one good scare.

"He is coming to your little town! "

This is John Carpenter's masterpiece of terror.
Ok, one of them.
As nearly flawlessly as the images he manufactures are,
it is his music that seals the deal.
Listening to the score alone is frightening.

It is one of, if not the best example of minimalism
in horror film art.
The plot is simple but very good.
The characters are cliche but very well-acted.
The images are flawlessly, in my humble opinion,
executed with perfect pacing.
The music is pure genius.

One other note of warning to potential viewers
is that there are very young women
or actresses portraying very young women
presented as objects of sexual exploitation.
[ex. exposing her breasts: "See anything you like?"]
I understand that fornication is central
to the motivation of the murderer,
but that does not require the film to be explicit
in its presentation. Subtlety and reservation
is possible and almost always superior with
regards to violence and sexuality,
and in the case of this film, it would have been.

Halloween DVD restored version

I believe this is the best version of Halloween because of sound choices ( you have a choice between mono, dolby stereo and 5.1 surround) and also because the picture and audio have been THX remastered. This is a great combination for watching such a classic! Lire l'avis complet...

Greatest horror music theme song.

For some reason Michael decides his family has lived long enough and becomes an exterminator, throw in a few promiscuous teenagers for effect and you have Halloween. Horror modified because he either can't or won't stay dead.

Halloween

One of the classics. Although sometimes included in the "slasher" genre, this one is not one of those; there is little of the blood and gore often expected in the ordinary Halloween film. Actors (a young Jamie Lee Curtis, P. J. Soles, Nancy Loomis) are down to earth and likeable, and one gets to know them before the scares begin. The movie follows a believable plot in a place that could be anywhere in the country. The music enhances the suspense.
If you haven't seen this one, you have missed a good one, considerably better than any of its sequels.Lire l'avis complet...
