I love part 1 & 2...and that Part 2 takes place immediately at the end of part 1...it was like it was one long continuous movie.
I got the 25 year DVD...with all the special commentary on it, it's sad that Deborah Hill died not long ago of breast cancer. Her and John Carpenter were great together.
Did anyone know that he left Deborah for Adrienne Barbeau when they did The Fog together?? They have a child.
John Carpenter likes to name his characters from real life people. Like in The Fog...Tom Atkins character's name is Nick Castle, and Nick Castle played the original Michael Meyers. He also was a director, he directed Skatetown USA.
I love Halloween(the original movie)...to me it is as scary as when I was a kid to now, because it seems so real.
The whole scene at the beginning where Donald Pleasance goes to the mental ward at night...and the patients are wandering around outside in the rain, that is about the only glimpse you see of Michael Meyers without his mask on...and he reaches in and grabs the nurse...that is freaky.
Does everyone know that the mask was a William Shatner mask that they cut the eye holes out bigger and painted white??
I thought that was brilliant writing to create such a scary character.
I love the girls in that movie. P.J. Soles was great.
I liked that it seemed realistic...they used a real street with real houses...and not a stage set. The more Halloween films they did...the more stupid they get...because they make the person immortal.
It is one thing to do that for a few times...but to keep going makes it almost comedic and not scary any more.
Did everyone know that John Carpenter and Deborah Hill...planned on making a completely different movie for all the sequels...that centered around something scary happening on Halloween, that is where part 3 came in to play...and why it was different...it was suppose to be that all the sequels were going to be about something that takes place at Halloween, and not about Michael Meyers...but people wanted to see Michael Meyers and never got their concept they were trying to do with 3.
I liked part 3, it was freaky. They do show a scene in it where the kids are watching the original Halloween on the TV in part 3, I thought that was neat.
I love the Halloween music...does everyone know that John Carpenter was the composer of that music.
It is so creepy.
