Probably the first Halloween movie, it remains a chilling and suspenseful story after all these years, and ideal for a late autumn night with the wind howling outside and you on your own. Too many modern horror movies are overly predictable and laughable, the original Halloween has stood the test of time. Most of the sequels, bar H20, were nonsense.

Love the music in Halloween, it adds so much to the suspense. You are dead right, Halloween has indeed stood the test of time, I rank it right up there with John Carpenter's "The Thing". It is such a shame that the rest of them are pretty bad.

"Pulp Fiction" and "Reservoir Dogs" may not be Halloween but they are right up there on my creepy list. Hope your Halloween movie scares you sufficiently to have a good time!!!!!

Happy Halloweeeeeen.

[/b] This year on Halloween night in a city not far from where I live, a guy dressed up like Michael Myers, went to one of the houses most popular among the little kiddy trick or treaters, rang the door bell, and when the people came to the door with their candy bowl ready, he barged in and killed the entire family.

This is why I don't give out candy on Halloween, you never know what kind of psyco might show up on your doorstep.

That goes to show you, truth is stranger than fiction. I read a story similar to that one time, where this old guy invited the kids in, locked them in a room, and made them watch while he chopped his wife into peices.

It was kind of sick. Did you dye your hair or something, Teesie? You look different.

Night of the Living Dead, the classic. I've watched that movie every Halloween for what seems like the better part of the last 25 years. Halloween and Poltergeist are up there on my list as well.
