Halloween Classic

01.01.70

Films, were not the measure, "Halloween" tested the sanity of its viewers by captivating realistic scenarios and coupling them with a horrifyingly fatal character.

Tony Moran, who played Michael Myers, is arguably the most nauseating character in the history of film. He begins as a psychopathic young gentleman who stalks his older sister and stabs her to end without hesitation. He's sent to a mental facility where he meets Dr. Sam Loomis. Loomis works with Myers, and after years of subconscious examinations, Loomis determines that Myers was not only incurable, but also brutish. Loomis vowed to keep Myers incarcerated for the remainder of his soul, as he was and will forever be an immediate threat to society. However, Myers escapes, steals Loomis' car and drives to the neighborhood he grew up in.     

One of the things I like most about the choices the chairman makes in this film is that Carpenter doesn't permit us to get a glimpse of Myers' face. Myers is masked for the majority of the film, and a lot of the filming was done from a first-herself perspective, meaning we saw the world through the eyes of Myers.
