Curtis is good and although I respect her right to going natural with the gray hair that she now sports I still felt she was at her most attractive when she had the long red hair like she has here. Loomis though is kind of funny in her part especially with the way she interacts with Lindsey (Kyle Richards) the young girl that she is babysitting. The three actresses looked too old for teenagers and in the case of both Loomis and Soles where already in their late twenties. Movies that try to show the reason behind why the bad guy becomes murderous usually end up being contrived and clichéd. There are many similar true-life crimes where even after the murderer is interviewed by the psychiatrists they still can’t always come up with a satisfying explanation. The fact that there is never any reason given for why Michael became the way he did is also good. Somehow it was a combination not only of the way the actor walked in the costume, but his mask as well, which was apparently a William Shatner Captain Kirk mask that was painted all white. In fact all the long shots showing Michael are the most effective. One of the scenes I always found to be the creepiest is when Tommy, the young boy that the Curtis character is babysitting, sees from across the street Michael carrying one of his dead victims from the car to the house. It builds the tension nicely and has some creepy imagery. The music by director John Carpenter is distinct and has an effective up-tempo beat almost like a warning siren.

The dark shadowy interiors create the feeling of menace and the little light that is shown has a bluish tone and resembles authentic moonlight. I’ll start with the things I liked.Ĭinematically it is a well mounted thriller. There are still some good things about it, but also in my opinion some glaring loopholes. I first saw this film 25 years ago when I was in College and thought it was cool, but now on my second viewing I’m not quite as impressed. He is taken away to a mental institution, but fifteen years later he escapes and comes back to his hometown of Haddonfield to stalk three teenage women (Jamie Lee Curtis, Nancy Loomis, P.J.
