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?!? Quote:

I can't believe this is even a serious question.

I'll never forget the time I wrote a couple of threads on films I thought were pretentious and/or overrated. I certainly expected people to disagree, but the level of hostility shown by certain members left me quite shocked. Now that I see what a widespread problem trolling is, I understand why this happened. Horrorzack, if you're on the level, I disagree with your opinion, but you're certainly entitled to it. P.S. I still defend my choices for the most pretentious and overrated films.:p

All you have to do is watch the first 3 mins of each movie and you get everything you need to know about comparing these two flicks, in my opinion. The first is polished and well crafted, the second isnt. Plesance is on total auto pilot delivering those lines and its about as camp and cheesy as you can get. Watch for the pause right before he goes running off, too funny. The first has quality tracking shots, the second has Donald Plesance hamming it up. That said, I totally love the 2nd installment. Pacing is great and its got enough in there to remind you its just a bit of fun, the first takes itself much more seriously, but backs it up too.
