'Halloween''s greatest strength lies not in what's shown, but in what isn't: Carpenter's taut focus on atmosphere over action creates tension in the form of violated spaces, and the potentiality for violated bodies, as opposed to the process of murder itself. It's a slow burn process that finds itself all but eschewed in dozens of obscene slasher films to come over the years, one that demarcates this watershed feature as standing apart from its ilk to this day.

The music is great and the set up to the killings is good. It’s not that scary and, of course, people make really stupid decisions throughout. Though, Michael Myers is a pretty great villain and I like the different storylines of the doctor and Laurie.

What you have to love about lil Mikey Myers is that he's ultimately a showman. He didn't have to show up in that sheet, but he did because it's not just about murder -- it's also about style.

Halloween is a horror classic that really sets the pace for the slasher genre. What makes it so effective, unlike a lot of its imitators, is that the film picks and chooses its moments of violence and gore and really relies on suspense to build its momentum. Also, the simplistic piano score is one of the most spine-tingling and iconic pieces of film score and really adds to the film's intense mood.

While being revolutionary for 1978, this one didn't age well at all. It still has some amazing shots and scenes but it's much more laughable than scary most of the time. Still, huge respects to Carpenter.
