Editorial Reviews

Halloween stars Jamie Lee Curtis (A Fish Called Wanda, True Lies) in her debut role. Anyone who's ever watched a horror film in the last 35 years knows the story of Michael Myers, who as a child, butchered his sister with a kitchen knife. Committed to a mental institution and watched over by Dr. Loomis (Donald Pleasance, Halloween II, IV & V, Fantastic Voyage), he engineers his escape 15 years later, returning to his hometown of Haddonfield, Illinois on Halloween night to terrorize anyone who gets in his way, including babysitter Laurie Strode (Curtis).

Co-starring P.J. Soles (Carrie, Stripes, Rock n Roll High School), Kyle Richards (The Watcher in the Woods, Eaten Alive), Nancy Loomis (Carpenter s Assault On Precinct 13, The Fog), Charles Cyphers (Escape From New York, The Fog) and Brian Andrews (The Great Santini, Three O Clock High), Halloween also cemented the careers of many behind the camera including Carpenter, Cundey, producer Debra Hill and film editor/production designer Tommy Lee Wallace (Halloween III: Season of the Witch, It).

I love horror movies

November 1, 2016

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

I love horror movies. This is my favorite horror movie. After reading many reviews as to what addition of this movie to buy i went with this one. My only complaint is that it doesn't come with CC closed caption. My ears are at that point that i now need it due to being hard of hearing. Still glad i own this. Oh by the way the jacket cover says it has "CC". One more thing i hated with a passion the remake of this movie. Rob freaking Zombie in my opinion RAPED this movie with his telling of it. In my opinion Halloween" is the "Gone with the Wind" of horror movies. No one would dare say "hey lets do a remake of that.

I prefer the look of this edition to the 35th Ann. edition

March 1, 2018

Format: Blu-rayVerified Purchase

I actually prefer this edition of the movie to the more recent 35th Anniversary edition. The nighttime scenes are easier to see - the 35 ANN. Edition is very dark and overstaurates these scenes with the color blue, making it look like a more modern film. This older transfer has caught some criticism for having too much green in the outside scenes - though this is truer to the look of the original film, it isn't appropriate for a movie that takes place in autumn. It's also true that this edition doesn't have as many extras, but the commentary track with Carpenter, Debra Hill, and Jamie Lee Curtis is one of the best I've ever heard and the 45 minute making of is also surprisingly solid.
When I bought this edition, the 35th Ann. edition cost twice as much, so I feel I made the right choice.

Great selection for my first horror film!

October 26, 2017

Format: Amazon VideoVerified Purchase

Super scary and super awesome. My husband is getting me slowly into horror films. I've never watched any horror films before Halloween. Well, aside from the uncontrolled screams on a few occasions, I survived it pretty darn well. I adore Jamie Lee Curtis and here she is at 20 something years old, captivating in her performance. If you haven't seen this, it's a great intro to horror, and as it turns out, a key influence in how horror films started, the murderer without any clear motives, and so on. Well-done! Not sure I'm going to see the sequels though.

The First...The Original...The BEST...

September 23, 2016

Format: Amazon VideoVerified Purchase

John Carpenter's original HALLOWEEN is by far the best of the series. This "economically" produced horror film started the Slasher Movie craze, made Jamie Lee Curtis a star, and held the record for highest grossing Independent Film for many years. It's become a staple on TV during Halloween season, and has been re-made (badly) by Rob Zombie. There's talk of yet another reboot, but it I doubt another director can recreate the simplicity of the original. It's been done, pretty much perfectly, so just leave it alone...

Still the Best

August 18, 2015

Format: Blu-rayVerified Purchase

Some rated this product based on the price. I am rating this edition of Halloween based on the picture quality. Dean Cundey, the cinematographer for the movie oversaw the restoration of this particular re-release of Halloween. Cundey made sure the color tones and the darkness/brightness ratios were as he originally intended them to be. The earlier dvd and Blu-ray releases evidently had not been overseen by Cundey. I cannot find anything to complain about picture or soundwise with this edition. It's simply the best print of the movie I have seen,and I've owned about every edition of this movie. Halloween is still the best of the genre.

Such a classic

October 4, 2015

Format: Blu-rayVerified Purchase

This is such a classic in the horror genre and really set the bar for Halloween themed slasher movies. The blu-ray breathes life back into the movie providing a clear cut image of Michael Myers and all the reasons we hate to love him. Halloween belongs in every horror movie buff's collection, there is nothing like the original. It never grows old!

A beautiful classic

October 3, 2016

Format: Amazon VideoVerified Purchase

The 1978 version of Halloween is a classic in every sense of the word. Michael Myers is the perfect horror character as portrayed by Carpenter. He is not well known and he is driven by pure evil. I want to also add that the movie has just a great overall feel from the soundtrack, to the way it was filmed. 5 out of 5 stars, no question.

The Classic in its Clear Glory

July 5, 2015

Format: Blu-rayVerified Purchase

Any fan of the Halloween series should experience the classic on Blu-Ray. I only recently started buying Blu-Rays and I have to say the quality is worth it. so many little details are much clearer in the film. I recall that when Michael Meyers is strangling the dog at Lindsey Wallace's house, the part always looked fuzzy to me and all I could see was the dog's leg. In this version, I could clearly see that Meyers is holding the dog in the air and the leg is dangling instead of the poor pooch being strangled on the ground like I had assumed. I know this is a morbid detail but with the clarity, you are sure to find many other little nuggets you never noticed before. Also included is a documentary on the film and its impact which is great to soak up. And at this price, it is a steal!
