200 Favourite Scary Film Moments 
What your favorite movie (really) says about you.. (57 movies items)"If Halloween is your favorite movie, you are dark, and don't mind being called dark. Halloween is your favorite holiday, and at Christmas you sit in a corner dreaming of smoking cigarrettes. You also probably have a crush on a girl frozen in a moment in time (the 1978 Curtis most assuredly is not the Curtis we all know and love, now, doing the fucking Activia commercials - although, to be fair, she has reemerged and re-embraced that character)."
“There was once a time where I wasn't crazy about horror but over-time I have grown to appreciate it. Halloween really is a true classic of its genre, it is genuinely scary, taut and is pretty much the only movie of the franchise in my opinion that is not only truly effective after all this time but also where everything works.

Terror Blurbs! Pt. 1 (An Ever-Expanding List) (100 movies items)"Plot: Years after going on a killing spree, Michael Myers returns to Haddonfield to complete his single-minded mission of murder. One of the blueprints of slasher film, Carpenter's classic is a beautifully shot and lit exercise in minimalism. Be it the stark blankness of the villainous Michael Myers, the down home innocence of afflicted babysitter Laurie Strode, or the absolute determination of Dr. Loomis, the film manages to place your fears firmly on pure, inexplicable evil and leaves an inde"

2021 movie journal
“The greatest moments of Halloween take their lead from its terrific opening: that legendary, lean musical score, and the film's tricky force of orientation.
Carpenter's fastidiously fashioned film doesn't squander a one second, the top dog of the slasher genre. Apart from the intentions demonstrated by the movie, Carpenter and his crew have also forged a visually rich and well-paced film that generated the model for all subsequent of the genre.
