Terry's Reviews > Halloween

Halloween, in my mind, is one of the best horror movies ever made. I remember when it came out, and being disappointed that I never did get to see it in the theater. I was lucky that this year, a local movie theater was playing it in the week leading up to Halloween and I ended up going (and yes, far less than 10 of us were there!). I was not disappointed with the big screen experience and I got to share it with my son, which was great. Despite having seen this movie at least once a year since the 80's, I thought the book was actually a pretty good read. The two follow each other very closely, but as I was hoping would be the case, we do get a little bit of additional look into the minds of our characters. We also get extension to some scenes, and a little more background to the story, all which help to make more sense of what is going on. Overall, this will increase my enjoyment when I again tune in next Halloween for the annual watch. I would rate this a solid 4/5 stars for my enjoyment and recommend it for horror fans, and especially fans of the movie.
