But i dont know about you but movies of the late 70s early 80s look and feel different i think the filming techniques makes it look sinsiter to begin with and the modern filming and budget i think although it looked good detered from the orginal feel of the movie.
Vampire what are your views on the prowler

The Halloween series lost something after they released the third one. Although, I didn't think the third one was that bad (Minus a point for that terrible song!). It was trying to take a different turn from the Halloween series. Kind of like the Final Fantasy video game series does. It just didn't work out because everyone wanted Michael. I personally think they would have done better, had they continued in that direction. And yes, as a slasher film, it beats out the rest of the series with the exception of the second one.
The slasher films of the 70's and 80's
were much darker than todays slasher films such as Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, Etc.. Although the films I just mentioned were not as terrible as everyone seems to make them out to be. Scream was a gory movie. It was just as much up there with the Friday The 13th franchise as anything, with the exception that it came out a few years later, and the killer wasn't immortal. All of the 'teen' slashers didn't start with Scream. They started back with movies such as, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and our current topic, Halloween. No one looks at it that way though.
As far as
The Prowler, I own this movie, but have not yet watched it. I will try to do so in the next couple of nights so I can state my opinion.
