My Favorite horror movie ever

Before I saw the original Halloween back in 2007, I saw a lot of Disney movies and the short movies that were based off of the Goosebumps books that RL Stine did. Halloween 1978 changed my perspectives of horror movies for the better. The original Halloween movie is super intense and it has a lot of jump scares and thrills that no serious horror fan would want to miss. If anyone doesn’t like this movie I definitely would love to know why. Because this proves that a horror movie can be made without blood and gore and still be as scary as possible. After I saw this movie, I became a huge horror fan, and as a movie buff, my perspective on horror movies is a lot better, knowing which ones are better than others.

The 2007 remake though is better overall because it has more blood and gore

This is one of those films that make the viewer fill up the gaps in their imagination as its not showing everything, it creates the whole mythos around Myers just by making eveything dream-like and yet real. I admit the first time I watched this film when I was 10 back in 1990 it was in chunks, as I had to be switching channels as it was too horrifying to sit through it without pause, especially through its permeating atmosphere, it would be too traumatizing for me if I watched it when I was 5 for example. I just needed to look at something lighter to release the tension and then switch back to the film, at least for a few seconds.

The movie is good but it's the score that really makes the movie.
The piano music throughout the movie is perfectly placed.
