5.0 out of 5 stars Halloween is the greatest horror movie ever., September 9, 2000

This review is from: Halloween : 10-31-78 - The Limited Edition [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Halloween was and still is the greatest horror movie ever. John Carpenter did a brilliant job executing(heh heh) this masterpiece.

While I love the Limited Edition version I found a couple of minor things about this version I didn't like. I didn't like the scratchy loud music in the sudden shock scenes. Also I wouldn't have made it widescreen because I prefer fullscreen and I thought the fullscreen view was a lot better. But I loved the Halloween: Unmasked segments, trailers and the TV scenes but I would have put them in the movie.

If I were you I wouldn't miss this, but I don't know how many are left.

5.0 out of 5 stars Carpenter delivers an undeniable classic., July 28, 1999

This review is from: Halloween : 10-31-78 - The Limited Edition [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Still as effective today as it was upon release, Halloween stands today as one of the greatest horror films ever filmed. There's little to no blood shown, no cheap scares, no Scream-style humor... what you have here is every scary movie idea ever concieved squeezed into 90 minutes of pure terror, shot beautifully by Carpenter. The film oozes atmosphere and the paper-thin story is brought to life by amazing performances by Jamie Lee Curtis, PJ Soles, Nancy Loomis, and Donald Pleasence. A film you FEEL more then watch, Halloween is not only a genre high point, but probably the best horror film of the decade. SEE IT!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best movie ever made out of all genres!!!!!!!, July 28, 1999

This is the best movie ever made! Halloween was the first horror movie I had ever seen. I was probably like 8 or 9 when I saw it. Anyway, I'm a horror movie fanatic now, thanks to Halloween. Also, it has, in my opinion, the best musical score I've ever heard!!! Halloween is the only horror movie that doesn't try to scare you with gore. It scares you with suspense and the knowledge that what you're facing is purely and simply "evil".
