No one saying anything about the soundtrack? I thought it was fantastic. Overall a really well made influential slasher. 7 years 7 months ago -

this movie made the slasher genre. psycho invented it, but halloween perfected it and brought it into the mainstream. horror movie trying to emulate halloweens style continued to get made through the 80s into the early 90s, and it had a huge impact on the horror genre in general. a great film and worthy of being higher on the list. above re-animator anyway. 12 years 9 months ago
