Bears01 Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 The iconic slasher “Halloween” gave birth to the “slasher” genre and turned future Academy Award WINNER Jamie Lee Curtis into an overnight “scream queen”.

HEAVYONIT Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Knowing ATRL I was expecting some dumb movie instead of Halloween but thank you for proving me wrong I tried to watch it the other night and it's...hard to get through.

My word….I mean better late than never but it’s always so weird to cross people who haven’t seen movies I’ve seen when I was a child and was played for me in classes in high school (I had a roommate that’s never seen the Lion king, Jurassic Park, Jaws, or any Harry Potter so I know how it is lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scenekiller Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Truly a masterpiece - technically brilliant, and it captures an entire mood of fall/nighttime/slasher/halloween so well. Better than any other movie before or after it tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And so is The Exorcist, tbh, I forgot about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just feel like Psycho is unacknowledged and uncared for by younger generations, while Halloween is still beloved and even was the direct inspirations for the big horror movies of today. It’s undeniably a triumph in filmmaking and a pioneer, and I could very well be wrong, but it’s just my $0.02 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oktober Knight Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 I stan Daddy Michael but let's be honest - those sequels went no where and the only thing Halloween is still remembered for is the main theme. Had Michael stayed with the same consistency as the first 2 films then Halloween would absolutely be the most iconic horror movie of all time. He ruined his career by taking a hiatus with early retirement and his dumb ass team thought Halloween III would be successful without him. When they realized they were wrong, it was too late and all they could come up with is stupidly neglecting Jamie Lee Curtis and putting a whiney screaming 8 year old brat in her place. BIG MISTAKE. Daddy Michael deserved better and because of this, he will never be on the same level as Ghostface and the Scream franchise. All of Scream's sequels were a massive success and Ghostface is a household name that's found in costume stores year round. And don't come at me with troll comments cause I say this as a Michael stan. It just is what it is and y'all need to accept that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
