For its significance & impact it sometimes called the son of Psycho and father of American Slasher movies! Yeah when I first saw it few years back I was also little bit disappointed as I was expecting too much from it. But as I grow as a fan of the genre I begin to realize the magnificence of this movie...besides the simple & effective characterization, an iconic background score (still which I use as the main ring tone for my cell), masterful camera works of Carpenter or even the breakthrough performance of Donald Pleasence & Jamie Lee Curtis, it's got the perfect way to telling such a chilling story of a modern day boogieman for any small town like Haddonfield. As I say more often...if The Haunting & The Legend of Hell House should consider as the holy book for film making for today's young film makers in haunted house sub genre, then the original Halloween is just the same for Slasher genre. It has all the elements for a successful slasher in perfect proportion...not a bit less or more. It's simple and fun...the evergreen fairytale of Slasher genre.
I'm not sure right now which part it was but besides the Halloween I & II, I'm also fond of another part of the original series where someone has a beautiful black car & Michele Myers later acquire it for his merciless murder mission?!?
