Her first movie and she got the lead role as well. That's what I find fascinating. She did a few more horror movie flicks and her career pretty much took off in the mid 80s.
This is the film that made Jamie Lee Curtis known as the Scream Queen, brought the slasher genre into the mainstream, and made an icon out of Michael Myers. Also, to that scam bot, if it's still here, KEEP AWAY. There'll be no scams while I'm around! Does that compute?!
At the end of the "Scream", the characters watched this film on TV. An interesting fact is that in the movie "Halloween: 20 years later", the characters watched "Scream 2" on TV... 😅
If not mentioned already; The mask is William Shatners face. A mold was made for another film, found in the prop department and they cast the rubber mask and tossed on a wig.
Back then we all knew Jamie Lee's parents Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh as fantastic actors. This was our first look at what Jamie Lee could do. Michael was scary as heck to us because: 1. He never said anything 2. He was the first indestructible human killer in horror movies. All the others stayed dead if you gig in a ki*l shot before Michael. 3. We didn't know WHY he was killing people. The one major blooper in the movie is when Annie called Laurie right back after the chewing call. No one could dial a number back that fast on a rotary phone. Push button phones existed buf most people still had rotary dial in '78. Yes. Annie was the Sheriff's daughter. Believe me I still check the back seat of my car before I get in because of this movie. Others only contributed to that. Thd mask is a William Shatner Captain Kirk mask that they got at the last minute. They changed the eyeholes, messed up the hair and painted the whole thing white. It made Michael even creepier.
The origin of the first HALLOWEEN movie began when Irwin Yablans, an indie distributor, said he wanted to release a movie about Babysitter Murders. That simple premise was his idea -- something scary with young actors. John Carpenter co-wrote a script with Debra Hill, and they created Michael Myers and Laurie Strode, etc., and set the story at Halloween. Yablans loved that Halloween had never been used as a movie title before. "Dr. Loomis" was named after a character in PSYCHO (1960). Sheriff Lee Brackett was named after Hollywood screenwriter Leigh Brackett, who received a co-writing credit on THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK (1980). John Carpenter's next job after HALLOWEEN was directing Kurt Russell as ELVIS (1979) for Dick Clark Productions on ABC-TV.
The ooooooooold school way to experience modern horror! I was ….. 11 when this came out? And I did not see it until I was 12 or 13 or so……but it was pretty freaky. Pretty scary.
14:35 Michael Myers caused all the patients to be outside. He killed staff & created chaos so he could escape in the confusion. Out of all the Slashers he has the most superior intellect. This is demonstrated in this film, Part 2 & particularly in Part 4. Halloween 1978 is my all time favorite Horror/Slasher movie. To me it's perfect from the writing to the direction to the execution.
Not gonna lie, I was waiting for the kitten to accidentally jump scare you by climbing up the side of the chair and sneaking onto the arm of said chair the whole reaction lol.
It's nice to see new younger people see an appreciate this movie and its film style. Because some younger people don't understand it. Because it takes its time to properly build up the sense of fear and tension. Some younger people don't understand it an don't like it because. They are used to the newer way wich is fast pace an just kill after kill. Wich does not really build up tension and fear because it's just kill after kill.

When Myers is dressed as a ghost nobody comments on how he killed with the phone cord. 😂
Love how all these reactors are commenting on Michael Myers's breathing sounds like Darth Vader's. It fit's with the Tommy character dressed as Luke Skywalker for Halloween. Carpenter was a fan.
@@Kenny-ep2nf That's one of the modifications. It was painted white, the eyebrows were removed, the hair was colored darker, and the eye-holes were cut larger.
A lot of horror movies don't age well, but the great ones like Halloween and the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre can still get to someone if they're watching alone in a darkened room. As you have discovered. 👻👓🎃
4:05 That’s not a police car Blue. That’s the car Michael Myers stole from the nurse and Dr. Loomis when he escaped from the Sanitarium. 15:03 That’s Lynda and her boyfriend. Lynda was Laurie and Annie’s friend from school who keeps saying Totally. The mask Michael wears is actually a Captain Kirk Star Trek mask that was modified by the production designer.
Cute kitty. Nice job Trix - HappyHalloween - this is the GOAT for modern horror & Carpenter's iconic masterpiece with epic iconic turn by Jamie Lee in her 1st film (!)
Every little thing and detailed you mention about who was going to die and how people acted or reacted towards something, it's so obvious in this movie because this was the one who started it all, you have seen it a lot of times now, but this was the first movie, the one who started it all, who put the slasher genre into mainstream and put all the tropes and cliches about horror movies, as it was so big they tried to copy the style and to this day that style and cliches remain. It's a great movie tht created a trend that holds up till today.
"Halloween" was scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis's debut. Years earlier, she was considered for the role of Regan in The Exorcist, but her mother (Janet Leigh of Psycho fame) declined because of the language and content.
Blue: That is not the way you scream when someone is stabbing you. Me: Um... voice of experience? I personally have no clue how one screams during a brutal murder. Just saying. Blue: I don't trust kids. Also Blue 30 seconds later: Listen to the kid. "Holy Guacamole?" - There a reason I love your reactions. Blue's "stress as Laurie walks casually to the murder scene... "behind the tree, behind her... You're thinking too hard. I love it but let the movie scare you not yourself. 🎃 The ending is... more suspense. The idea of a "sole survivor" kind of started with this movie. Many of the "classic tropes" of horror began here, in in other movies of this time. Loved the react Blue, I did worry for the kitten when you were seeking comfort... i was afraid you might accidently throw it or something. 🤣
That's funny you thought Lynda and her boyfriend were the kid's parents. Did you forget seeing Laurie's friend Lynda in the scenes with them earlier as her young high school friend?
So she thought the “parents” that “don’t look older than 23” came home, saw their daughter and babysitter were mysteriously gone, and then they just decided to start making out on the couch? 🤣
I´ve watched "Poltergeist", "It", "Nightmare on Elm Street" and "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" before I was 10 years old. And they didn´t bother me at all. Watched "Halloween" the first time when I was 18 and it scared the hell out of me :D
Looks like super kitty is getting for active, and moving up to reactor status!🐈😆Nice reactions to the original Halloween, Blue!!!🎬🎃🎃🎃But wait, the night is not over. "Halloween 2" (1981) starts just where this film ended.
Trixy - "Oh wow, they're done? That was like 5 seconds" Me - "Hold on a sec, you walk in here without telling me you own a magical vagina and your first thought is to blame me?? What's next? David Blaine mocking people amazed by his magic tricks ;) Happy Halloween
It's important to enjoy your last moments no if you're really enjoying life and then all the sudden you're dying the transition from something really great to something really terrible is extremely jarring if you do survive you'll probably be messed up for Life mentally whereas somebody who has nothing left to live for and is just waiting for death yeah when Michael Myers shows up for them they're like just do it bro
yesh and thing is Judith myers seems to be happy with 47 seconds. yeah its the one thing that really bothers me, i know he is a teen but no..If you look the gate was broken so michael broke out and at the same time let the others out maybe by accident.
Everyone knows the horror "rule" that sex=dead, but this is from before that trope existed. When Michael killed his sister, it was just after she had sex. When he escapes 15 years later, he dug up his sister's headstone and we see it on the bed with Annie laid in the same position as his sister when she died. Michael's a fan of irony. When he drove past the girls and Annie yelled "Hey creep! Speed kills!", later, he kills her inside a car. In Friday the 13th [Blue, I know you've seen it, but SPOILER ALERT to anyone who hasn't], Jason drowned because the councilors/lifeguards were having sex and/or doing drugs and not watching. So, for future occupants to get killed after sex (or during) was supposed to be a sick kind of poetic justice. The problem is that so many horror movies that followed turned it into a trope that sex=death, even when it doesn't makes sense within the story, the audience laughs and sees coming.
I can’t tell you not to watch the other sequels from 1980 to the 90s to 2003 but hopefully next Halloween you’ll get to choose the 2018 2021 and the final chapter 2022 Halloween Ends. Those are the real sequels, but hopefully next Halloween you’ll find out yourself
Yes, your answer is yes, Michael, Jason and Freddy all of them have supernatural powers from hell, it's been explained a few times, very poorly in movies, better job in comics.
You gave 2.5 screams during this review. I love how you're versed in horror rules and logic now and can already conclude who's going to make it and who won't.
awesome....now u gatta watch halloween 2 and do a reaction on it lol....h2 is my personal favorite!!....a lil warning ahead of time u be jumping more than in this one hhahahaha

Fun Fact: This is Jamie Lee Curtis first movie in her entire life.
Her first movie and she got the lead role as well. That's what I find fascinating. She did a few more horror movie flicks and her career pretty much took off in the mid 80s.
Btw. To anyone who also thinks "how does he get away that quickly everytime?" I recommend the movie "Behind the mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon"
Iconic till today
I believe the fact that her mother stared in Alfred Hitchcocks psycho is partly why she was cast as homage
She played a waitress in a Columbo episode
3:31 The kitty redecoration has already started. 19:53 The anticipation and anxiety buildup doing it's job 😄
It's not that he CAN be everywhere, he IS everywhere
"Hit him with something psychological"
BANG
This is the film that made Jamie Lee Curtis known as the Scream Queen, brought the slasher genre into the mainstream, and made an icon out of Michael Myers.
Also, to that scam bot, if it's still here, KEEP AWAY. There'll be no scams while I'm around! Does that compute?!

First off, your hair rocks. Second, this is how you celebrate Halloween. Happy haunting! 🎃🐈⬛ 👻🎉
This movie still freaks people out to this day. Goes to show you that sometimes simple is best
Less is more aye
Always great to see the classics getting the appreciation they deserve. No CGI or even a big budget, just plenty of scares.
Please don’t stop the spooky reactions!!
Love ya bunches!! Happy Halloween!! 🎃

OK everyone, remember, Blue doesn't like to be kept on the edge... LOL
gotta love the kitten protecting with the power of cute
That ADORABLE little kitten had me distracted XD
When I first saw Halloween as a teenager it was the scariest movie I had ever seen. It made me not want to go to sleep.
Dude...At the time, I shared a room with my younger brother. He snored. Sounded like Michael breathing all night! Talk about scared! 😂
sleep, yes
die by murder, no
I like how she randomly pulls out a southern American accent. It keeps me on my toes.
Same
Happy Halloween Trixy 🎃🎃🎃🎃. Best Halloween Present Ever.
'Take the knife. Stabby, stabby, stab.' LOLOLOL
Love your reaction! The original Halloween (1978) was all about scares and suspense. Plus, with its iconic music, it’s clearly an instant classic.
The origin of the first HALLOWEEN movie began when Irwin Yablans, an indie distributor, said he wanted to release a movie about Babysitter Murders. That simple premise was his idea -- something scary with young actors.

This ost is so fucking legendary!!! 🎶
love it heaps
John Carpenter also did the theme music for the film. That creepy score adds to the whole piece.
Love it
Your kitten is adorable! 😁
00:02 nah you're rainblue 😍😍
And nobody hates it..... we love it!!!!!!!! I promise! Askem!!!!
The ooooooooold school way to experience modern horror! I was ….. 11 when this came out? And I did not see it until I was 12 or 13 or so……but it was pretty freaky. Pretty scary.
Easily one of the best and most influential horror movies of all time
agreed
This was such a great reaction video! Loved how you called all the kills but were still surprised at how they were killed.

yeah he knew his stuff
This is my overall favorite scary movie. We watch it every Halloween. I think the scariest movie you should watch is Sinister. It’s also very good.
Sinister might be too much for poor Trixy. Show her some mercy!
based
So.... that's a mask the whole time. It's actually a mask of William Shatner who starred in Star Trek.
OMG That kitten❤️🤩🥰❤️🤩🥰❤️
The last ten minutes of this reaction were gold! 😂
100%
Awww lil baby kitty😍
Omg that kitten!! 🥹
“He Touches Doors, Without Opening Them.” Yes Trixy, Them Supernatural Doors!! Awesome Reactions By Thee Way!! 👊
Please continue with the Halloween series, and I hope you also do Friday the 13th!
Not gonna lie, I was waiting for the kitten to accidentally jump scare you by climbing up the side of the chair and sneaking onto the arm of said chair the whole reaction lol.
"Chop his head off, that's the only way to be sure. Chop his head off and light him on fire."
Michael Myers: "Hold several of my sequels."
Great soundtrack! The only person that can kill him is John Wick. He is the one you send to kill the boogeyman
The car Michael is driving is not a police car .. it's the car he drove away from the mental hospital....
first reported carjacking.
He's a good driver
@@Kenny-ep2nf or to quote another movie.. He's an excellent driver.. excellent driver😉
@@raybernal6829 LOLZ true
There's 8 or 9 parts to this movie series. And a few remakes. The latest one Halloween Ends was just released a couple weeks ago this October
He wasn't looking out. He was looking in.
oohhh

The ironic thing is that Michael Myers is wearing a modified Captain Kirk mask.
@@johnsensebe3153 yep a pale one
@@Kenny-ep2nf That's one of the modifications. It was painted white, the eyebrows were removed, the hair was colored darker, and the eye-holes were cut larger.
@@johnsensebe3153 became such an iconic mask to this day
@@Kenny-ep2nf I really wanted to mask in the reboot to be based on Chris Pine...
A lot of horror movies don't age well, but the great ones like Halloween and the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre can still get to someone if they're watching alone in a darkened room. As you have discovered. 👻👓🎃
They made this on a pretty small budget. The mask he wears is a Captain Kirk mask (William Shatner), painted white.
4:05 That’s not a police car Blue. That’s the car Michael Myers stole from the nurse and Dr. Loomis when he escaped from the Sanitarium.

Cute kitty. Nice job Trix - HappyHalloween - this is the GOAT for modern horror & Carpenter's iconic masterpiece with epic iconic turn by Jamie Lee in her 1st film (!)
one thing i like about watchin folks react to horror movies is how theyd assume theyd be complete superheroes in these situations lol
True haha
5:55 in real life though... the ballsy skeptical ones are the ones to fight back and scare off the killer.... 😁

It's also the best horror movie ever
Im glad you liked the gr
anddaddy of modern horror flicks. Its great
Great movie, happy halloween, beautiful🎃🎉🎊
The scream at 21:17 👻
Best horror movie ever, Michael is the GOAT as always .
"Halloween" was scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis's debut. Years earlier, she was considered for the role of Regan in The Exorcist, but her mother (Janet Leigh of Psycho fame) declined because of the language and content.
14:39 It's a William Shatner mask

Blue: I don't trust kids.
Also Blue 30 seconds later: Listen to the kid.
"Holy Guacamole?" - There a reason I love your reactions.
Blue's "stress as Laurie walks casually to the murder scene... "behind the tree, behind her... You're thinking too hard.

your kitten is adorable
Quite a few houses have outbuilding laundry rooms.
18:40 aaaahhahh he IS just standing there 😆
in broad daylight LOLZ
I really like your reaction videos. I propose "a challenge". Do you dare to watch "Orphan" and then "Orphan, first kill"?. They will surprise you.
The kitty is adorable
3:35 - WOOK AT DA WITTLE KITTY!!!!!
That's funny you thought Lynda and her boyfriend were the kid's parents. Did you forget seeing Laurie's friend Lynda in the scenes with them earlier as her young high school friend?
22:40 - WOOK AT DA WITTLE KITTY AGAIN!
Watch Halloween 2, h20, then the 2018 Halloween and on , but H3 is different
So she thought the “parents” that “don’t look older than 23” came home, saw their daughter and babysitter were mysteriously gone, and then they just decided to start making out on the couch? 🤣
ROFL
I´ve watched "Poltergeist", "It", "Nightmare on Elm Street" and "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" before I was 10 years old. And they didn´t bother me at all.
Watched "Halloween" the first time when I was 18 and it scared the hell out of me :D
i love halloween i a big fan of i was a kid
12:33 , 16:54 , 20:49 , 20:57 😨😰😧😧
A classic!!!!!!!
Greetings from Chicago ✌️🍿❤️
You've got taste. Bravo. Good reaction.
7:50 - You sounded like the cat Big Billy talking
Looks like super kitty is getting for active, and moving up to reactor status!🐈😆Nice reactions to the original Halloween, Blue!!!🎬🎃🎃🎃But wait, the night is not over. "Halloween 2" (1981) starts just where this film ended.
Is anyone else disturbed that Blue talks about what sounds people make when killed with such confidence?
Trixy - "Oh wow, they're done? That was like 5 seconds"
Me - "Hold on a sec, you walk in here without telling me you own a magical vagina and your first thought is to blame me?? What's next? David Blaine mocking people amazed by his magic tricks ;)

What's funny is a LOT of reactors comment about his "quickness".

Oh yeah Michael's definitely not an idiot, he knows exactly what he's doing when he sets stuff up like that.
No emotional support kittens were harmed
in the watching of this movie . ; - )
It,s a captain kirk mask,paimted white.
Hopefully you will watch more child’s play, nightmare on elm street, and Halloween movie series reactions. It be a good time
I can’t tell you not to watch the other sequels from 1980 to the 90s to 2003 but hopefully next Halloween you’ll get to choose the 2018 2021 and the final chapter 2022 Halloween Ends.
Those are the real sequels, but hopefully next Halloween you’ll find out yourself
Halloween movies are awesome
gotta do 2018 next, it’s a direct sequel to this one, 40 years later if i remember correctly
Yes, your answer is yes, Michael, Jason and Freddy all of them have supernatural powers from hell, it's been explained a few times, very poorly in movies, better job in comics.
1:56 no no no oooooooomg!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 who is thaaaat?!?!?!!? 😳😲😢😍😍
That's how you scream when something else is stabbing you...
Well, now you have to watch Carpenter's magnum opus, one of the greatest movies of all time, the one and only The Thing.
You gave 2.5 screams during this review. I love how you're versed in horror rules and logic now and can already conclude who's going to make it and who won't.
16:14 it's always a "babysitter" and they always bring the boyfriend over
Even Michael's getting tired of it. Explains why he snapped lolz.
ur kitten is to damn cute.. :P
awesome....now u gatta watch halloween 2 and do a reaction on it lol....h2 is my personal favorite!!....a lil warning ahead of time u be jumping more than in this one hhahahaha
you reckon she will?
