Rob Zombie made a mockery of himself by remaking this legendary film.

Violent but entertaining? Arn't most slasher flicks violent but entertaining? A Nightmare on Elm Street, The Friday the 13th movies, Child's Play. Well movies like Re-Animator and Braindead may have gone overboard but still entertaining. Still, Halloween kicks ass.

@TheNosGothica guess you don't either but who cares?

@daveybaby131 Considering he is getting closer and closer to deaths door, I don't think he gives a shit.

Gene and Roger are right on the money about what is truly scary...now if these boneheads in Hollywood would wake up!!
-
@dommer117 Actually he can be diagnosed psychoanalytically as having antiscoial Personality disorder

original: michael was a psychopath or a sociopath (can't get enuff of his profile)
remake: completely unrealistic... u can't become a psycho from bad childhood. u r born with it. if u r neglected as a child, ur targets will be not teens or just anyone in ur path. the original made more sense cus he was a psycho without any codes like dexter so he just played cunning and killed his preys.

oh my god ebert is ugly

exactly. Halloween was different from horror films because it used horror. What the general public call horror films now is bloody, gory, films where people die and every ten minutes something pops up and the music spikes. This film is horror, suspense, and one of a kind. Nothing will ever beat it.

I love R. Zombie's House of 1000 Corpses & Devils Rejects but his remake of Halloween was crap. What made Michael Myers brilliant in the original was not knowing what was behind it all. And also Donald Pleasence character Dr. Loomis explanation of the embodiment of evil in Myers spoke volumes a lot more than Zombie's background story. John Carpenter is the King.

@SpaceAceTX you are 100% correct! The movie was made around the time when people (social-physcologists) tried answering the reason for such violent crimes and evil's in the world, Carpenter boldly created an iconic/unique villian that is simply explained by the fact that he's outside of pyscoanalysis, Michael is pure evil, plain and simple.
