I am eager to see what he comes up with in his new film and he long long overdue to direct another film. I would hate for his swan song film to be “Ghosts Of Mars”. I am eager and confident that he will come back strong. Nevertheless though Halloween will always shine as one of the greats like “Psycho and The Exorcist” now and forever.

…but the finale holds up amazingly well! For many slasher fans, gore is the most important factor, but for me, it’s that final game of cat and mouse, and Halloween is THE example to follow. The suspense still grips me from the moment Michael’s face fades into view behind Laurie, and I still get the chills when the movie closes with Michael’s breathing over a succession of the places Michael has visited on the night he came home. And Donald Pleasence and Jamie Lee Curtis handle the material gloriously!
