Halloween: 30th Anniversary Box Set Specifications
Halloween is as pure and undiluted as its title. In the small town of Haddonfield, Illinois, a teenage baby sitter tries to survive a Halloween night of relentless terror, during which a knife-wielding maniac goes after the town's hormonally charged youths. Director John Carpenter takes this simple situation and orchestrates a superbly mounted symphony of horrors. It's a movie much scarier for its dark spaces and ominous camera movements than for its explicit bloodletting (which is actually minimal). Composed by Carpenter himself, the movie's freaky music sets the tone; and his script (cowritten with Debra Hill) is laced with references to other horror pictures, especially Psycho. The baby sitter is played by Jamie Lee Curtis, the real-life daughter of Psycho victim Janet Leigh; and the obsessed policeman played by Donald Pleasence is named Sam Loomis, after John Gavin's character in Psycho. In the end, though, Halloween stands on its own as an uncannily frightening experience--it's one of those movies that had audiences literally jumping out of their seats and shouting at the screen. ("No! Don't drop that knife!") Produced on a low budget, the picture turned a monster profit, and spawned many sequels, none of which approached the 1978 original. Curtis returned for two more installments: 1981's dismal Halloween II, which picked up the story the day after the unfortunate events, and 1998's occasionally gripping Halloween H20, which proved the former baby sitter was still haunted after 20 years. --Robert Horton
Horror Movies Customer Reviews
I can not comment on this set like the one I got in New Zealand, had the first 5 movies Halloween it.I brought the curse of Michael Myers separated by Amazon to complete the other two set.The H20 and Resurrection, first I had.The symbol is a film that was copied from the very late 70s up to current films.Watching recently, I wonder what all the fuss was about, it seems pretty lame now, but still a good 2 film.Halloween begins where the first term ,I probably enjoyed more than the original.What were thinking of Halloween with the season of the witch, the film has nothing to do with the Halloween series but slapped a tag on it-must be installed on the name with that one. The other two what to ask where you were heading with the little girl ends up taking over from Michael series.A and what crazy connection laughable.H20 druid I found I did enjoy in heading back to the roots were longer, with Jamie Lee in it. Thewriters did not link any of the storylines from previous films with this though, I guess they thought the younger generation would not have seen those films, and who cares anyway.I did enjoy Resurrection and saw the new Halloween Which was ok, but really now how to close this series have gone on a bit 'long hours.
Think of the positives - C. Rabin - While most fans were probably more than in this package, think like this ... This has Halloween with 12 minutes of footage in more tv, going from one new DVD on Amazon for around 40 U.S. dollars. This package is actually a few dollars more or less convenient. So buy this, and you can keep the DVD, or if you already have them, sell them individually here on Amazon:)
Not All There! - AldoFan - For those who are thinking of all the Halloween movies so far to be very clear, this overpriced version includes:
Halloween (three versions of the original masterpiece: Restored, enlarged, and Blu Ray)
Halloween 4 The Return of Michael Myers
Halloween 5 The Revenge of Michael Myers
Halloween: 25 Years Of Terror (Disc Documentary)
Cheap Mask
Three film, a doc, a mask, $ 45. That is all.
Good starter for those that don't already own any - chemosh6969 - I will not complain as others have done what the records are here already available elsewhere. I never got a DVD before so I found this set on sale and is a perfect starter set for someone who is starting a collection of Halloween.
