Even to this day Halloween is still a bench mark that all horror even generally scary films should look to.The pacing of the film is magnificent, it effectively creates suspense and while not scary by modern standards it still manages to have that creepy and disturbing mood even to this day.
One thing that truly is great about Halloween is the fact it doesn’t need blood, it doesn’t even need gore all it needed was Michael Myers appearing from behind a tree or from around a corner to have me shaking in my boots.
It used those subtle techniques to good effect.
The score for this film is one of the best used in the history of film and even though it was very simple, whenever I hear it I always think of the shadowy image of Myers.
