    Hello guys, here's a spooky reaction that I hope you enjoy. I'm actually doing two horror movies this october. I've never watched Halloween before and I didn't know the story behind Michael Myers, I only knew his name haha. This was a very interesting film, you can see a lot of tropes than became very popular later in horror cinema. Like I said in the video, the story is rather simple but the execution is brilliant.

    "I met him, 15 years ago; I was told there was nothing left; no reason, no conscience, no understanding in even the most rudimentary sense of life or death, of good or evil, right or wrong. I met this... six-year-old child with this blank, pale, emotionless face, and... the blackest eyes - the Devil's eyes. I spent eight years trying to reach him, and then another seven trying to keep him locked up, because I realized that what was living behind that boy's eyes was purely and simply... evil."
    Fun Fact: Shot in 20 days in the spring of 1978.
    Fear Factor Fact: As the film was shot out of sequence, John Carpenter created a fear meter so that Jamie Lee Curtis would know what level of terror she should be exhibiting.
    Unintended Trope Fact: John Carpenter and Debra Hill have stated many times over the years that they did not consciously set out to depict virginity as a way of defeating a rampaging killer. The reason why the horny teens all die is simply that they are so preoccupied with getting laid that they don't notice that there is a killer at large. On the other hand, Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) spends a lot of time on her own and is therefore more alert.
    Casting Notes Fact: John Carpenter considered the hiring of Jamie Lee Curtis, her theatrical debut, as the ultimate tribute to Alfred Hitchcock who had given her mother, Janet Leigh, legendary status in Psycho (1960). The adult Michael Myers was portrayed by Nick Castle in almost every scene, except for some pick-up shots and the unmasking scene, where he was replaced by Tony Moran. Castle was a school-buddy of John Carpenter, and was on set just to watch the movie be filmed. It was at the suggestion of John Carpenter that he took up the role of Michael Myers, as he was tall and had what Carpenter considered an interesting walk. Castle admitted he was disappointed to not be the face shown, but understood that Carpenter wanted a more "angelic" face to juxtapose with Myers' ghastly deeds. Castle has gone on to become a successful director.

    Some fun facts, the little girl Lindsey is one of the Beverly Hills Housewives (Kyle). Also, the movie is supposed to be set in Illiniois, but it is actually filmed in Pasadena, California. They had a hard time conveying the fact that it was Fall with the often sunny skies and lack of folliage. So they had to use a lot of smoke machines and drop dead leaves in front of the camera by hand.

    Halloween cemented many of the horror movie tropes taken for granted today. 911 didn't exist in 1978. To call the police or the fire department required dialing all seven numbers and that could take several seconds to do on a rotary phone. Carpenter made this before he made The Thing, which is a remake of a sci-fi movie from 1951, The Thing From Another Planet.

    10:26 Well that's the thing about this movie, the story takes place on Halloween! That means seeing people with masks or dressed in costumes doesn't concern anyone - and when one of all those dressed up people is an actual killer, noone would notice, at least not immediately. That's why the protagonists are more confused than concerned at first and that's what makes this situation so scary. ^^

    You've already reacted to The Thing, so I'll skip that.
    Other John Carpenter tips:
    1981 - Escape from New York (With Kurt Russell in the lead as Snake Plissken.)
    1986 - Big Trouble in Little China (Also with K Russell. Him and Carpenter work well together.)
    1988 - They Live (Has one of the best, and funniest, fighting scenes in movie history.)
    1994 - In the Mouth of Madness (Together with The Thing and 1987's Prince of Darkness*, this ends Carpenter's Apocalypse Trilogy.)
    1998 - Vampires (Dirty and gritty vampires. Kind of similar to them in The Lost Boys. Not very glamorous or sexy.)
    * Prince of Darkness isn't a favorite Carpenter movie, and the "trilogy"-movies has no real connection other than the apocalyptic theme. So you can watch In the Mouth of Madness as a standalone movie. You don't even need to remember anything from The Thing.
    In the Mouth of Madness is my absolute favorite of his movies.

Here's the basic rundown first there was a story called Who Goes There then the movie The Thing from another World is based on that story Who Goes There. Then John Carpenter made his movie The Thing staying more true to the source material the story Who Goes There. Then a prequel to John Carpenters The Thing movie.

      John Carpenter has said it was his favorite movie too. I always wondered if he just liked the design of the title credits in the movie, or if he wanted to mess with people's heads with the TV scene.
      By 1982 this movie was quite popular, so he may have planted a seed of confusion by choice.

    John Carpenter often writes (and perform) his own music for his movies.
    He's one of those movie makers that writes scripts and produces his own movies too. He's even had some tiny roles (usually uncredited) in them too. If you put him on a desert island with enough equipment, he'll have a couple of movies done when you rescue him. :D Not sure if he's done any editing since the 1976 Assault on Precinct 13 though...

    Halloween was inspired by Psycho. When creating Halloween, Carpenter took major inspiration from the Hitchcock classic in terms of story structure, cinematography, and scares this is why you don't really see any blood or gore in this movie. With the persuasion of executive producer Irwin Yablans, Carpenter set out to channel a Hitchcockian thriller dripping with suspense rather than blood.

      Other films that inspired Halloween were the Italian giallo films, of which John Carpenter was a HUGE fan. Those films usually had a shadowy, faceless villain dressed in a leather overcoat, wielding a knife. Also, the scene where Laurie runs from house to house from Michael is almost a frame by frame copy of a scene from Night of the Living Dead. Halloween drew inspiration from lots of great horror flicks.

      Actually here's what the inspiration was for the movie this comes from. This information comes from two places first. The Shout/ Scream Factory Collector's Edition of Black Christmas 1974. On the audio commentary an bonus features with its writer and director Bob Clark. He tells the story of telling a young John Carpenter who asked him if was was going to make a sequel to Black Christmas. How would he go about it Bob Clark said he would have the killer get arrested and sent to a mental hospital. Then a year later he would escape the mental hospital an stalk an kill more girls from that same sorority. This would happen in October.
      Then just a few years later John Carpenter released a movie. About a psychopath that escapes a mental hospital an stalks and kills wemon in October. So John Carpenter basically got the story plot from Bob Clark. Because that was the hypothetical sequel story plot for the sequel to Black Christmas 1974.
      Now for the inspiration for Michael Myers himself. This information comes from the audio commentary on John Carpenter's original Halloween on Blu-ray. On that audio commentary John Carpenter said when he was on a school trip. They went to a mental hospital an he seen a hospital patient that just looked at people. With black emotionless eyes that looked like their was nothing behind them. So that patient was the real inspiration for Michael Myers. It had nothing to do with the movie Psycho or any other movies.

      And not all of them are crap. To me part 1 and 2 are one big awesome movie. I always enjoyed part 3 even though Myers isn’t in it. It should have been a stand alone movie without the Halloween name attached to it. Part 4 was good except the that the mask sucked. Part 5 wasn’t good. The Tina character alone ruined the movie for me. The theatrical release of part 6 was ok but not great but the alternate version of part 6 worse. H20 could have been better, especially the title. Not only was Resurrection a terrible movie, it was one of the worst movies of all time. Halloween 2018 was a good movie and Kills was less good and Ends ranks slightly above Resurrection.
