FIRST TIME WATCHING: Halloween....HE CAME HOME!! 

IMPORTANT INFO: A Nightmare on Elm Street was supposed to go up today, but it was blocked and I'm fighting copyright on it right now. That will go up next week, not Halloween (2018). The week after Halloween (2018) will be up! I apologize for the inconvenience guys!!!

There weren’t cliches because this was one of the foundations of horror/slashers, so the followers used elements from this which became the cliches.

If it makes you feel better, the shot of the dog being suffocated is a slow-motion shot of it’s trainer wearing the jumpsuit, hugging the dog and then just letting him down. So it looks like he’s going limp, but it’s really just a cuddle.

This movie is legendary. Can't wait for the new one.

I do recommend halloween 2 which takes place the same night since you guys have already done Halloween 2018. The franchise has like multiple different timelines.

"Lonnie...get your ass away from there..." HAAHAHA It still makes me laugh. Dr. Loomis is the man.

It's funny that in one of the bushes u can see smoke and it was the director smoking behind it

I wish you guys could have watched this movie for the first time in 1978 like I did. There were no slasher movie tropes, this movie was fresh and new, it was the real "boogy man". It was quite terrifying.

If you're gonna dig in the Halloween series, keep in mind there are different timelines that usually only have in common the first movie. So, to help keeping with continuity issues: Prime timeline: Halloween 1978, Halloween II (1981). Cult of Thorn timeline: Halloween 1978, Halloween II (1981), Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988), Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers (1989), Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers (1995). H20 timeline: Halloween 1978, Halloween II (1981), Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998), Halloween Resurrection (2002). Current timeline: Halloween 1978, Halloween 2018, Halloween Kills (coming this year), Halloween Ends (coming soon, for 2022). Then we have Halloween III: Season of the Witch, which is its own thing and has no relation to Michael Myers at all. And finally, the remake by Rob Zombie in 2007 and its sequel in 2009.

The film made $78 million dollars at the box office against a $1 million dollar budget. Critics gave it mixed reviews, but found it to be the best slasher film ever made.

This is definitely a classic, i saw it when it first came out. But it's also so low-budget, Jamie Lee used her own clothes, it was Spring or Summer, so they spray painted leaves red and gold and put them around to look like Fall. They then had to collect them and move them for different scenes. So many low budget tricks that really worked, you should see if you can find the making of this, you'll learn so much. Still an all time fave with me. Glad you enjoyed it.

Using this movie as a jumping off point you can see a lot of the sequals as different timelines had things gone this way or that way.

Just an fyi, there is no "official" sequel. The continuity just gets rebooted every few years, the series is like a "choose your own adventure". Also, drink everytime he says Iconic lol

Great reaction, Halloween is a classic thr original silent, stalker killer before the Jason's and such. I've always liked Michael way more personally. Also, not sure if anyone's told you this or not but you kind of look like a younger Vincent Kartheiser.😄

Love seeing people watch this film in modern times and still find it to be a classic. This movie is timeless!

Honestly, the 2nd one ( 1981) is the sequel i like. And it has the main characters, including Jamie Lee Curtis.

The movie that had Lindsay so engrossed that she couldn't hear the babysitter was "The Thing from Another World", which is the film that John Carpenter remade as "The Thing" in 1982. Also, the kid named Tommy returns later on in the franchise as an adult played by Paul Rudd.

Good reactions guys, BTW, when you get to "Halloween 2" PLEASE make sure to watch the TV Cut, it's the version that the director wanted to show back in theaters but John Carpenter said no, so they changed and deleted some of the scenes, it also focuses Laurie Strode more than the theatrical cut, and this is a version that's underrated which needs more attention and reactions from reactors like you, also it can be found easily and freely on RU-vid.

This is my favorite movie of all time PERIOD. Really enjoyed your guys reaction, can't wait for all the horror reactions coming up! Keep it up guys

I really like the idea of this movie with micheal walking around at day too, its not like he is only going around at night. I really like it

halloween is a timeless classic. when we were younger we all heard stories about people in odd situations or just random people who are out of it. Michael is that character come into the neighborhood. I would say michael is a human without emotional contact.

“I think they’re gonna live” sarcastically 😂

This movie is classic. John Carpenter followed this up in 1980 with The Fog. It paired Jamie Lee Curtis with her mom, Janet Leigh (Psycho). Carpenter then did Escape From New York, The Thing and Christine all in succession. Thanks for playing this. That scene where the car was right behind him and you were going "dude, he's right there.". That's pure classic Hitchcock.

Trivia: The little girl who plays ‘Lindsey’ is Kyle Richards and actually Paris Hilton’s aunt (her mom’s sister). She’s currently on THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF BEVERLY HILLS.

I watch this movie every year on Halloween. I love it so much!

7:13 the funniest hting you have ever said nobu. HEY TEACH?

All the Halloween movies are entertaining.

You have to remember something about horror movies of the 70's: dogs and kids are gonna get killed. That's why it's horror.

Please don't dismiss the original sequels as non-canon. They are. The Halloween series has that annoying habit of splintering into multiple timelines which ends up being really confusing and convoluted. With the exception of part 3, parts 1-6 tell a pretty linear story. Whenever Jamie Lee Curtis decides to revisit the series, they seem to decide to auto-correct. Halloween isn't as bad at this as Texas Chainsaw, but pretty close. Long story short (too late), Halloween II, IV, V and even VI are worth looking at and kept the original storyline going, especially Halloween II. I like the current remake but it does kind of irk me that they pretend those movies didn't happen.

I saw this film 21 years ago in October 2000, a week before my 10th birthday! Anyway, my parents and I went to Flagstaff for my older sisters ROTC training. We left on a Friday and came back on a Sunday. My sister and I were in our hotel room, we watched Halloween, and it scared the hell out of me, but I enjoyed it and it's sequel, Halloween II, where it led to a showdown in a hospital.

Oh, I LOVE “Halloween” all parts! 🎃❤️‍🔥😍

Did you know that Jamie Lee Curtis’s mother is Janet Leigh who played Marion Crane in Alfred Hitchcock’s movie Psycho? If you haven’t seen it you should definitely check it out

The music in this film is so central, it's almost as if the movie was made to compliment the music rather than vice versa.

This movie gives me so much nostalgia of being a kid and running on after school on Halloween to watch this movie and the go out trick r treating

Michael Myers, king of mind over matter😂 "what needle to the neck, clothes hanger to the eye, bullet riddling then nasty fall on my back. I got things to do"

My big brother took me to see this in the theater. What a good time! I think everyone in that movie theater enjoyed the movie. This movie was made for a little over 300K, I think.

These are the movies that started the genre of slasher films. Everything that came later, took a cue from these films - Halloween, Friday the 13th, A nightmare on Elm st.

How Michael sits up behind Laurie is weird but how he gets up as she's gets up is really wierd. How did he stand up like yaht. Like HR wss folding himself lol from the sitting up position lol. This movie awesome. I'd being thinking about where is Loomis at compared to where Laurie is at or like where's the Myers house at compared to where they're babysitting sy. Cause he had the cat outside of where they're babysitting then Loomis sees it down street from Myers house. So was he right there the whole time? Did Michael move car? Why? Lol. How he had bodies set up kinda like a ritual or something or like a haunted house where stuff pops out at you lol. Thank you this was awesome. Always love everything Halloween and Michael Myers lol

Hey James, I don't mean to correct you but it's Michael Myers. It's a cool horror movie. Halloween 2018 is coming up on the channel.

Halloween II (1981) and Halloween H20 (1998) also have the main Character played by Jamie Lee Curtis

John Carpenter was a genius. Love this film so much. Thank you for this reaction!

Every Halloween I watch this.

In 1975 William Shatner did a movie the "Devil's Rain" in it they did a special effect with his face, so they made a life cast of his face and used it for props. When the film wrapped up, they used he cast as a negative for "Captain Kirk" star trek masks. In 1977, Producer tommy lee wallace wanted a mask on the cheap so he went to a hollywood Costume shop and bought three masks, one a childs clown mask (in he beginning of the movie) a Sad clown Emmett Kelly mask (abandoned) and a kirk mask prop master, cut the sideburns/eyebrows off, fwipped the hair, cut out the eyes and spray painted it Krylon "Applianace White"

11:40, I just realized that is the real Annabelle doll behind Laurie! Well obviously not the actually one but I never noticed that, that’s crazy!

I'd 100% recommend watching the original Black Christmas from 1974 during your horror viewing this year! Halloween is always credited with starting the slasher genre, but Black Christmas came out four years earlier, and John Carpenter actually cited Black Christmas as one of his influences for Halloween. It's a really great horror flick with some really creepy moments!

I'm so ready for KUBO and the Two Strings

The Shape (Michael Myers) is played primarily by John Carpenter’s director friend Nick Castle. They wrote “Escape from New York” together and he directed “The Last Star Fighter.” He’s the person who jumps onto the car, but NOT the actor when his mask is ripped off.

I was 9 years old, and I saw this with my parents here in St. Louis the day after this film was released. didn't go to sleep until the next morning.

I love your appreciation for this film. Great reaction.

The Captain Kirk/Shatner mask is terrifying 😳. It always messed me up, being a big Star Trek fan lol 😆

This is one of the first horror films that I watched on DVD. I love Friday the 13th and A Nightmare On Elm Street. But Halloween has always been my No. 1. Scary as hell

This was such a low budget that the cast and crew would rake up the leaves to move to other locations. The camera used at the beginning was new technology, Kubrick used this in The Shining to film Danny in the hotel on the big wheels.

If you notice during the scene at 13 minutes, before Mikey takes the left turn he actually looks left and right. He may be the physcial form of evil, but at least he obeys traffic laws! I wonder if he's wearing a seat belt?

I love rob zombie’s Halloween 1 and 2. The older movies are scary but these 2 had me scared fr!

My favorites are 1,2 and 4 the rest including 2018 not so much but I still grew up watching the whole franchise.

That's why the guy didn't say anything when he saw Michael. He wasn't surprised by it because Michael lived there.

I was a kid in the 80’s and they would play this on cable every October all month long.The first time I saw it was at night in the family room in the basement of our house, when I was like 8 or 9. Scared the living SHIT out of me. It remains the consummate horror movie in my mind. The filmmaking, the personification of Jason with the camera angles and breathing, the score - it’s all perfect. I think people expect it to be something closer to the 80’s slasher movies that basically ripped this movie off, so they expect the cheap jump scares and the almost supernatural villain. Halloween is more of a simple but perfectly made thriller about the banality of evil. It springs up randomly in the most innocent and safest of places and just quietly grows into this monster. The quiet suburban setting where people don’t lock their doors, makes it even more chilling. So good. It’s no wonder it fueled the horror genre for years afterwards.

I remember watching some making of special features on the dvd and it's really impressive what they were able to do purely with lighting because the budget was so tight. The main house they shot in was I believe an abandoned house that wasn't in good shape, some of the walls the plaster was cracking/failing apart so they actually had to strategically plan shots with certain lighting or lack there of to hide things like that.

$325,000 budget, 25 grand went to donald pleasance, and out of that 300,000, half went to cameras and lenses. This is one of the greatest movies ever. Carpenter wrote myers to be the actual boogeyman, that you can't kill or get rid of. He said Myers is a human, but he has a supernatural edge. The end of the movie implies he can be anywhere, everywhere, or no where, with all the locations of the film with his breathing getting heavier. It basically shows the bad guy winning, as carpenter had no interest in making any sequels, but the studio forced him to make a part 2. The part where loomis gives the speech about how he tried to help Myers to the sheriff in the myers house is partly true. Carpenter got the idea for Myers from a visit to a kentucky mental institute that he took on a college class trip. He said he met a 12-13 year old boy with as he said the blackest, darkest eyes, and there was nothing there. He said the kid gave him goose bumps and scared the shit out of him. Also the horror cliche of drug users, and people who have sex getting killed was unintentional according to carpenter and debra hill. Laurie smokes weed and lives.

there is no film that has scared me as much as this one. period. some have came close....a few very close....but this is the scariest film I have ever seen.

I never saw the original Halloween back in 1978 because I wasn’t born yet. But now that I already seen it I really love it so much.

You have to watch the phantom of the opera. The music is great (and dramatic) and the guy who played Ed Waren is one if the main cast, he plays Raoul.

Michael Myers is basically being helped by the spirit of Halloween; the night is giving him power.

As a freshman in college I saw this when it first came out in theaters. I wasn’t a scary movie watcher but boyfriend wanted to see it and I thought I could handle it. I was traumatized for about a month.

Fun fact: Michael Myers mask is a Captain Kirk death mask that was created for Star Trek

If you notice in the 2018 the hat that is on Laurie’s bedroom wall was on the wall in her bedroom where Laurie’s daughter Karen was sitting.

Someone who lives in the same city as me in NC made their house into a recreation of Michael Myers' house and does tours.

There is a very good reason this film is so highly regarded and a total classic it is soo well made the tension and totally creepy atmosphere it has are so brilliant and the fact it is so bloodless which is much more scary than having tons of blood n guts , the simple but brilliant theme was composed by Carpenter himself to save money as they were on such a tightbudget and Micheals iconic mask was a Captain Kirk mask painted white sometimes having a very small budget makes film makers become more creative and the result is so good and effective . Check out the. Fog as well another Carpenter classic as well as Escape from New York.

If you are only watching Halloween (1978) and Halloween (2018) then watch Halloween Season of the Witch as well because Carpenter still holds Season as the Witch as part of the "Franchise" due to the film being supposed to be an anthology originally

5:02 Fun Fact: if you Stop at the Right moment or play it Frame by Frame you can see a wrench!

the makers of "friday the 13th" watched this movie for ideas, paramount told them they wanted thier own "halloween"

Since the season is approaching I cannot recommend the 1974 Texas Chainsaw Massacre enough. It is has superb cinematography is is a deceptively artful and well crafted film.

Such a Classic - my fav Horrorfilm

In the book Michael is a reincarnation of an ancient celt teen who is cursed by his tribe.

Michael is like where's waldo? In this lol. He's right there!

Y’all have to at least watch #2, the movie picks up in the last few mins of this one & continues on the storyline thru the rest of Halloween night.

Yayyyyy new Halloween reaction! They're like Pokemon. I gotta watch them all!!!! Lol

Before dismissing all the other sequels, you really should watch Halloween II (1981), it’s awesome.

You guys should probably watch Halloween 2 which is the movie that came out directly after this one and takes place directly after this first one ends

There were not unofficial sequels, they were official sequels because the main character was Michael Myers. John Carpenter didn't like Halloween II even though he wrote it. They decided to go back and remove them from canon and make 2018 the official sequel. So all those old sequels were official for 30 + years. This was not the first movie to use the piano that way. The first one I know came out about five years prior with The Exorcist. And the first big movie that set the foundation for slashers was Psycho then The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

I loved this reaction!!! You should react to all the Halloween movies!!! I would love to see that!

You guys should check out Prom night. Also a Jamie Lee Curtis movie from 1980

YESS IVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU GUYS TO REACT TO THIS

When a dog barks always stay alert, they do it for a reason not just out of nowhere, specially if the barking is constant

So well done. Not a lot of gore. Smart. Perfect.

This is my favorite horror movie. It’s not Halloween until I watch Halloween 🎃

The Godfather of slasher movies.

If we all took a shot, every time they said the word "iconic", we would be wasted before the movie even started. LOL!

The Halloween tv version cut is the best version.

Great reaction! Halloween has multiple story lines: A. 1,2,4,5,6 (Producers cut) B. 1,2,H20, Resurrection C. 1, the new one. 3 it's own thing.

Halloween (1978) is my favorite horror film of all time. I'm so glad a younger generation like you two can see and appreciate all the suspense and atmosphere. John Carpenter is my favorite director, his movies all have such heavy atmosphere that it's suffocating. I love horror but can't stand the trend its went into the past decade or two, with them having little suspense and atmosphere and full of cheap jump scares. Halloween takes its time and makes you feel uneasy with its suspense. I would also recommend The Fog, Prince of Darkness and The Thing. All of which are Carpenter masterpieces. Thank you for the great video!

I got to met Tony Moran he played Micheal at the end he was an awesome guy very cool dude 😊🤟🤟

I see this is only your first John Carpenter video. If you still haven't seen his other work, you absolutely should, especially The Thing

If you guys are going to watch the other films for storyline, I'm sure you have found out that most of the films aren't canon and go of on their own branches away from the original tree. If you're wanting to watch the original storyline; Halloween, Halloween II, and Halloween H20 is the trilogy you'll be looking for that completely wraps up the storyline. Season of the Witch is it's own film and Halloween 4, 5, and 6 are the "Thorn" series. Halloween Resurrection is almost a pointless watch and it starts a new story that was left wide open and never continued. Would love to see you guys watch the original series before trailing off so everything is fresh and less confusing. Thanks for the video!

This along with Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm St are my big 3 of horror.

I don't know where you get your Info, but 2018 isn't the only official sequel. Halloween 2 is the official sequel. Halloween 3, they tried to go with an anthology idea and doesn't have the same antagonist. There are also remakes of Halloween and Halloween 2 by Rob Zombie. Once you get past Halloween 1 and 2 (and 3) then there is some debate over the Myers lore. Suffice to say I would watch 2 before any others. I would actually recommend the remake of Elm Street (after watching a couple more original sequels so that you can fully get a feel for the original Englund Kreuger.) as well as they took a different path with Freddy that I find compelling. On a final side note, Halloween 3 is actually a fun watch as the Idea is original and the story is acceptable IMHO.

I don't understand how american houses don't have walls around the house like anyone can enter in your house

Halloween II (1981) is a great sequel, happening the very same night... I would suggest you watch that one first instead of 2018´s

Fun reaction, guys!

Such a classic movie sorry I missed your Nightmare on Elm street review. I'll catch it after this!
