To be totally honest, I found it somewhat dull on my first viewing too...but I was probably around 12-13, just a budding horror fan and didn't want anything but blood, guts, tits and scares. When thats all you're looking for in a movie, something as smart, tense and subtle as Halloween can seem "boring" for sure.
I revisited it a few years later, once I was able to appreciate the finer parts of film making, and obviously I started to see it for the masterpiece that it is. Give it a couple years Zack...hopefully you'll get it eventually.

Me say, NOT boring! Have MANY thrills. Film classic. Influenced modern horror. Many foolish ones criticize, but HALLOWEEN whumps all.
HALLOWEEN are happy :confused  confused:

I'm actually with you. Loved this movie when I was younger. Watched it again recently and found it was quite boring to me. It doesn't take away for what it did for the genre at all. But I feel it doesn't hold up well. I did much prefer the sequel. I'm probably also in the minority of liking the remakes too.

It's the horror film that got me into horror films. I remember my older sister telling me about it once and I ended up having a nightmare about Michael Myers. I can't remember what I pictured him to look like, but it wasn't like the real thing! Then lo and behold, one week later it was on television. I put it on and I was absolutely enthralled the entire way through. I think I was around...9? Either way, I can endlessly re-watch it because whilst a lot of time is focussed more on normal life than the killings, I don't mind that, mainly because even through those scenes there's a certain unease, something which isn't quite right. This omnipresent figure who keep being spotted then disappearing.

I just love the concept of creepy killer wearing a blank white mask and mechanical jumpsuit stalking and killing teenagers. My favorite movie from the old school Halloween films would have to be Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988) first one I saw as a child, and it scared me so bad, I literally had nightmares for nearly a year. Oh, and checking shower curtains before going to my bed at the end of the night aswell.

Halloween was the movie that made me fall in love with horror. I was probably 10 when I first saw it and it scared the CRAP out of me. I've showed it to a lot of people over the years and some of them thought it was boring...I guess, to them, a movie needs to have expensive special effects and cheap scares to be "scary". I'll always love Halloween!
