Pros: The film is entertaining and influential on the horror genre.
Cons: Might seem dated to some.
Summary: There are certain films that can be credited with being so popular they spawned "copycat" films. perhaps the greatest example of this is John Carpenter's Halloween. By building off of old horror movie conventions of suspense and adding a more ... read more

Pros: Greatest Thrilling chilling bone tingling movie of all time

Pros: Lots of features and the television version too!
Cons: Limited Edition...yuck.

Pros: The best horror film of all time
Cons: The sequels didn't live up to the first.
Summary: OK, so this movie doesn't have alot of blood, sex, or very big special effects. But what it does have is a scary, well thought out horror movie that remains one of the top movies of all time. If you have never seen this movie, young or old, you are ... read more

Pros: The message that evil can be anywhere, even if you don't know it
Cons: The clones of an effective idea (and you know the ones I mean)
Summary: I'm reminded of a quote of Randy Meeks from "Scream", who analyzed the horror genre in every scene: "The beauty of it all is SIMPLICITY...besides, if it gets too complicated, you lose your target audience." What was analyzed by ... read more

Pros: A great contemporary horror.
Cons: Why doesn't the villain die after all that's been done to him?
Summary: What makes great horror? Well there is one thing that stands out in this movie and can't be ignored--how the music keeps you pinned on the edge of your seat. Like Jaws, you know it's coming, just don't know when. It builds and builds and has you ... read more

Pros: A taut, elegant and terrifying film which is unjustly considered by some to be an anti-sex morality tale...
Cons: It doesn't have many - although it's third and fourth sequels have enough cons for the series as a whole...
Summary: They said it in "Scream" so it must be true - you have to be a virgin to survive one of these films... But we're getting ahead of ourselves.
The plot is beyond simple. It is, unsurprisingly, Halloween. In the first ten minutes with ... read more

Pros: The Classic Horror movie
Cons: Nothing scares me
Summary: This is the landmark slasher movie. It inspired everything that came after it's production. This is the "baby sitter" killer. This movie was shot in just two days if I'm not mistaken. Now think of the time that this came out, it was 1977 ... read more

Pros: A young Jamie Lee Curtis
Cons: Where's Evil Spock
Summary: Believe it or not, the mask used in Halloween is molded after William Shatner's face. I guess up until the time is was worn to kill people, it was used as just a pasty-faced Kirk for school renditions of Star Trek. Either way, that simplistic ... read more
