Halloween: The Movie

Filed under Entertainment

I was there for the original Halloween movie made in 1978 by John Carpenter. Now, while that may date me a bit, I have to say the hype was very high then for this movie and with the exception of “The Texas Chain Saw Massacres”, another classic, Halloween was the horror movie to see. Set in the Midwest town of Haddonfield, Illinois (which doesn’t exist, btw), John Carpenter’s film scared the crap out of the multitudes of movie goers across the United States. Originally titled the Babysitter Murders, it starred such notables as Donald Pleasence as the troubled, often near-the-edge Dr. Sam Loomis, Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode and Nick Castle as Michael Myers.

Jump to the present and they’re doing it again. Instead of yet another sequel, Ron Zombie is remaking the original which is guaranteed to have better special effects, a much larger budget and lots more blood and screaming. I am hoping that it sticks to its low-budget predecessor in that much is implied and blood and guts are more or less not shown in direct and gory detail. What made the original so damned scary, could easily be translated into 2007 and with the new effects technology, make a film that scares us right out of our seats. Now, that would be great.

If you don’t know the plot, it’s pretty straight-forward. Evil Has A Destiny. Michael Myers is Evil (actually, a psycho kid at 10 years old) who is committed to a mental institution, where he grows into manhood. After 17 years, he’s let loose to wreck havoc on the world or, in this case, Midwest, Nowhere. He goes after teenagers, who of course are never believed, and with only one psychotic purpose — kill everyone and anyone who crosses his path in the most brutal and frightening way possible.

He’s looking for his sister, Laurie Strode who was played by Jamie Lee Curtis in 1978 and is played by Scout Taylor-Compton in the 2007 rendition.

Here’s a YouTube trailer of the current soon to be released 2007 version:

Halloween the movie has updated and added to the fright aspects of this cult classic, as the YouTube trailer shows, and it looks like it’s going to be quite a movie.
