Man... I watch Halloween on AMC Friday night and they played it on a big screen at the convention yesterday exactly 1:30mins after I got there! So it was perfect timing! And I must say I have seen this movie at least 50 times and EACH time I am totally into it. I have no idea how this movie was made so perfectly but man... its like destiny.

It's almost as good as Friday the 13th Part 1.

Did anybody get the DVD with the shiny cover?

I don't even have it on DVD. My old VHS copy is still hanging in there for now.

Is the new version the THX remastered version? I have that and honestly unless that is what's on the new one plus extras I don't see the point in buying it.

Yeah, they just gave it a new slip cover.

The new dvd is just a re-issue of the 1999 Restored Edition, which I already own, so there is no sense in my buying it again. I also own the 25th Anniversary Divimax Edition, so I am good on Halloween.

Do you think we truly think Halloween was perfect for real? Or do u think we only think that because it was the first? like if this was Part 4 would we still see it as pefection?

No way. None of the sequels had the same magic to them.

Agreed. Just about every movie I can think of, no matter how much I like it, I would change atleast something in it. With Halloween, there's nothing I would change.

I feel the same way about Friday the 13th. They seemed to be able to find a certain magic in order to make movies that great back then.

Agreed Kyle. Friday the 13th is definitely another movie like that.

I agree too. It is too bad that magic does not exist today. From 1960 to about 1984, the greatest horror movies ever made were produced.

I think it went wrong when horror movies started getting bigger budgets. Back when films like Halloween and Friday the 13th were made the people involved had to be creative due to not having a lot of money to work with. These days almost all horror movies get tons of money to work with and they spend it all on effects. Story is secondary if not forgotten completely.

A very good point and so very true. I don't really care for a movie that is just all blood and guts. I want there to be a story in there somewhere. You would think that the movie people would sit back and take a look and see that the older movies are still being watched and loved 30 years later. I don't see a movie like The Devil's Rejects or House of a 1000 Corpses still being watched and loved like the Halloween or Friday the 13th movies are today in 30 years. I know for me seeing those movies once was enough.

Exactly. That's why the movie Hatchet gives me so much hope. It had a very small budget but everyone has said it's a great film.

Seems like just about all of my favorite horror movies had a tiny budget.
