I saw Halloween when I was 12 years old when it first aired on NBC in the early 80's. When it got to the scene where Michael Myers is standing in Laurie's back yard, I had to stop watching. I was beyond freaked out! Lucky for me, NBC aired it again the following year on Halloween night. I watched it from start to finish with my dad who is not a horror fan at all. After it ended I was blown away and my dad said that he thought that it was pretty good.
It has a great plot, excellent acting, great mood lighting, the music is top notch,, the Halloween mask is beyond creepy! It's so lifeless that it gives you chills when looking at it. To this day I still haven't seen a scary movie as good as Halloween. I bought the 2015 Blu ray version of John Carpenter's Halloween, and it is excellent!
