Independently produced on a very low budget, John Carpenter showed audiences everywhere that you can make a film without extreme violence and gore and still make it scary as hell. Using a simple story line, simple haunting music with deafening stings and interesting camera techniques, Carpenter turned a suburban neighborhood into a living nightmare.
Aside from some really shoddy acting from some of the teenage co-stars, Halloween holds up to this very day as a classic slasher flick and without a doubt on nearly every top 10 list out there.

4½? :\
Can't get past the REALLY bad acting from Laurie's friends. It really took me right out of it during a few moments. ...and some of Dr. Loomis' melodramatic dialogue is cringe-worthy.
I'm with bud. 5 Shat masks out of 5.
The remake is better
YOLO #gitonmylvl
I can kind of see where your coming from on Loomis being a bit too melodramatic, but I think it fits his experiences.
