"It's Halloween. I guess everyone's entitled to one good scare."
Welcome back to another pumpkin-carving, scare-heavy, teenage slashing episode of THE FILM SNARKS!!
Well, it is that time of year again, you know the month of October, my personal favorite time of the year, where the scenery is gorgeous, the air is crisp, and of course, it’s the one time out of the year to bring out the spooky movies of the season!
And if there’s one film in all of cinema that can be pretty much single-handedly credited to giving birth to the “Scare” or “Slasher” sub-genre of Horror movies, it is without a doubt John Carpenter’s original 1978 classic, Halloween!
What would you do if a psychotic masked killer was stalking you and killing off your friends one by one?
So join us as we find out ifHalloween 1978 is a slow and dated horror flick with too many cliches, or if it's a masterclass in tension building, creepy, atmospheric filmmaking that would pave the way for countless imitators!
"The evil is gone!"
