The Cat 3 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 (edited) Boo! Greetings Net Boys and Net Girls!!! Here it is, a most deserving thread exploring the 1978 classic. After all these years, it is still one of my all time favourites. What are your thoughts, your memories of first seeing it, etc.?(This thread is dedicated to The Earl of Rush) Edited April 21, 2020 by The Cat 3 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhawkrush Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I used to scare my mother playing the music from Halloween around the house, and I don't mean Blue Oyster Cult. ;) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I saw it on either HBO or Cinemax when I was maybe 9 back in ‘81. Scared the shit out of me that first time. Even when I’d rewatch it again and again a few years later when I was 12, 13, and further on in my teens, it still made me nervous. Truly one of the greatest horror films of all time. Easily a Top 5 horror flick 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 It's one of the greatest movies of all-time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 It's one of the greatest movies of all-time. I think it’d make my Top 20 Movies of All Time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 It took me a while to appreciate this one, I wasn't all that big on slasher flicks. Psycho and Halloween and Black Christmas are the best of that sub-genre, although Psycho is much more than a slasher flick. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
custom55 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Great movie. Actually, I still watch it every Halloween night after the trick-or-treaters are gone. Love the scene where Michael is standing in the yard in between the laundry. Great theme song. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were doing it I'd have to include Hammer ones, Universal, 70's stuff, 80's stuff, Hitchcock etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUSHHEAD666 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Boo! Greetings Net Boys and Net Girls!!! Here it is, a most deserving thread exploring the 1978 classic. After all these years, it is still one of my all time favourites. What are your thoughts, your memories of first seeing it, etc.?(This thread is dedicated to The Earl of Rush) Hello my friend! WOW! I AM FLATTERED!!! Thank you for the kind words!!! I've taken some time off the forum, but I and all of my family are well!Funny buddy, I just watched "Halloween" last week! IT IS THE GREATEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME!!! As a matter of fact just last night I watched the JOHN CARPENTER LIVE on blu-ray!! Was was lucky enough to see John and his band perform five times over a two year span. Three meet and greets too. He was very grumpy and quiet until I told him in San Francisco that I really loved the Anaheim show.You should have seen John's face. He was just about to sign my big HALLOWEEN III poster signed by Adkins and Wallace. (yes "Halloween" is my number one film of all time and Halloween III is my second favorite! Glad I am strange!! LOL) But looked at me with a double take... He said..."you are traveling to see us perform?"He was in shock. I said... "Heck yes John! I was on vacation in San Diego. Drove to see you in Anaheim then came back to the Bay Area where I live to see you here in SF and then tomorrow night in Santa Cruz!" Cody Carpenter gave me a high five and their guitar player smiled and said.... "See you tomorrow night!"Of course all of you music freaks know that Daniel Davies is the son of Dave Davies. The guitar player from The Kinks!! John Carpenter is my all time film and soundtrack composer too!! His work with Howarth is also stunning, i.e. HALLOWEEN III SEASON OF THE WITCH! So I was a young teenager at some BBQ and a bunch of us kids watched the TV version of "Halloween" for the first time. Even though it was the edited version the movie fuckking freaked me out!I instantly fell in love with the movie.Then years later I finally saw the R rated version and my mind was BLOWN!!! The greatest movie ever made!!! I love that last installment of "Halloween." H40. I hope theaters will be open practicing social distancing by October. I can't wait for "HALLOWEEN KILLS" and then next year "HALLOWEEN ENDS!" The final TRILOGY!!!! I might have to watch "The Fog" or "The Thing" tonight!!! Thanks Cat! I am going back into another Carpenter Frenzy!!!! LOL!!! Hmmmmm.... "They Live" or "Prince Of Darkness" perhaps!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat 3 Posted April 27, 2020 Author Share Posted April 27, 2020 I’m sooooo looking forward to the next two installments! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cat 3 Posted June 6, 2020 Author Share Posted June 6, 2020 From a budget of $300,000, the film went on to gross $47 million at the US box office. In 2008, takings that would be the equivalent of $150 million, making 'Halloween' one of the most successful independent films of all time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
