Actually, Mary, that movie wasn’t John Carpenter’s The Thing. That was The Thing from Another World, the original version from 1951.

I've probably seen this movie 10 times at least start to finish and it still holds up today. Music really makes it scary. Iconic gets thrown around loosely for everything nowadays...the music from this movie is iconic and legendary

The 70s were groundbreaking for the horror genre, Halloween with slashers, Exorcist with exorcism movies, Poltergaist with haunted house movies.

I can't wait to see Mary's reaction to the Shape. So excited 😮😀😊

I recommend seeing "Black Christmas" (1974) "starring Olivia Hussey.

That smooth criminal joke is adorable lol

This was really the first teen killings movie. He’s breathing through a thick rubber mask lol And that was the original The Thing not John’s remake. He only took the tombstone btw. And that was a woman’s hand in the beginning posing as a kids lol one of the best movies and themes. Carpenter created it himself

Your comment about how the movie was very formulaic reminds me of people saying that Shakespeare's plays are full of cliches.

You should watch the second one too follows on from this one amazing 2

Is that how long does it take an hour😂 Mary someone got little little freak in them 😉❤

Actually, that was NOT John Carpenter's film of The Thing (getting a "shameless plug") - that was the original 1951 film called The Thing From Another World. I was confused by the title board on their TV, since Carpenter's film was not released til 1982, four years after this Halloween film. I'm not sure if JC made The Thing as a remake, or a sequel, or if there's any real connection at all, other than JC saying that his film (seems to) "picks up where the original left off". Then there's the 2011 film, which is apparently a prequel to the 1982 film (I always thought it was a remake)... which I guess makes it a possible remake of the original 1951 film?

For the record: Halloween 1-4 are all good. After that, go straight to the 2018 movie

"Lindsey is a little girl" THANK You, out of all the people I've seen watch this film NO ONE has pointed that out, I think He meant Annie, and just got the names confused.

"How is he still alive??" The kid got it right. "You can't kill the Boogeyman"

So much fun seeing people experience this masterpiece for the first time.

This was the origin of almost every "trope" we now associates with slashers. And it was the first movie to combine all the elements that now seem cliche because they were imitated SO much. This is one of my favorite movies of all time.

- "Why's it always teenagers?" Watch the original Scream movie and you'll hear the rules of horror movies. - Judith Myers is still buried, Michael only took the gravestone.

The funny thing is, back in 1978, there hadn't really been a "slasher" style movie where the killer is repeatedly stabbed/"killed" only to get back up and keep attacking. This movie was the origin of the cliché that "they're never really dead, so make sure!" Nowadays every D-list slasher flick ever made has a killer like this, who's never dead on the first try - but back then it wasn't dumb for Laurie to assume that Michael was well and truly dead after she *stabbed him in the throat* like that. :)

Halloween (1978) is my all time favorite horror/slasher film. Such an iconic score by John Carpenter

“I don’t know if this is a franchise….” OH MARY! Welcome to the Myers-verse!! 🎃😂

One of my favorite Easter eggs of this film is the James Ensor poster in Laurie's room. If you're unfamiliar, he was an expressionist painter from Belgium who specialized in subjects that wore macabre white masks. Such a cool little gem to throw in this movie. That's why John Carpenter is the master!

23:51 - He's not slow at walking, dear Mary. He's taking his time. He likes to stalk, to enjoy the terror of his victims before doing them in. That's why he wasn't on Laurie's heels after she exited out of the kitchen. He stood back and was watching her struggle, calling for help, watching the neighbors not giving her aid. He was enjoying watching her struggle before he finally decided to try to go in for the kill. If that's not nightmare inducing, I don't know what else is. Also, a little thing about the end, John Carpenter had Michael disappear and his breathing over the places he's been, to convey to the audience that he was still out there, and that no one is safe. Not even the audience. Meaning Michael disappearing could convey that he's waiting for them at home, or maybe in the backseat of their cars. But, more important, the evil that Michael may be, is still out there.

The Fog, which is also a classic John Carpenter film also has a very young Jamie Lee Curtis in it. It also stars the original scream queen Janet Leigh who is Jamie Lee Curtis' mother!

The movie not revealing any motive for Michael is the beauty of it. He is just purely evil. And the ending of this movie in my opinion is the best ending for the whole saga. It's perfect if you stop right here. Michael is still anywhere and everywhere.....

This is considered one of the best horror films ever.

Back in 1978, this was the only horror movie named “Halloween”. Nowadays, you can’t even mention this movie called Halloween, without getting confused with the other two movies in the franchise also called “Halloween”.

I always questioned why Laurie drops the knife but I think when someone is processing that amount of trauma after seeing their friends die their body is probably shivering beyond belief and they can’t even hold the knife cause they’re in shock and their body is only now processing it after they think it’s over and the adrenaline has subsided.

I love the final shot of all the locations michael has been with him breathing in the background indicating that he's everywhere.

Halloween is one of the movies that really jump-started the horror movie craze of the 80's because it was technically a low budget film that was picked up by a major studio for widespread release. Good horror movies are usually low budget and high returns. This movie was was Jaime Lee Curtis' first starring role and what put her on the map. The movie "The Thing" that the kids were watching was actually the original movie from 1951, which was one of John Carpenter's favorite films, which is why he remade it 4 years later.

When people call this film "formulaic" they often fail to recognize it was THESE films, along with a few others of this era, that MADE the formula. These were the pioneers.

P.J Soles was also in Carrie! She was wearing a baseball cap with her prom dress!

Mary: I'm goin to be sick of this music by the end of it Mary: ( humming theme music 10 min later)

I love it when people become experts and know exactly what they would do when a psycho killer is going after them. : )

I’m not too big on slasher horror but this franchise is a lot milder than most others so it’s become my favorite horror franchise. On Friday I went to Universal Studios Hollywood and they had a Halloween themed haunted house and it was so much fun and scary. They replicated all the iconic scenes and it was just *chef’s kiss* This movie’s soundtrack is so good and super iconic! I actually prefer the theme for Halloween II tho cuz it’s more synthy “How is he still alive?!” 44 years, 13 movies and 3 reboots later, we’re still asking that very question

Halloween actually created the formula for other movies to become formulaic. An unparalleled masterpiece.

It wasn’t formulaic because it was the 1st real slasher movie of this type. It created the the formula.

I've always laughed when I hear people call Halloween "Formulaic" when, in reality it created the formula that everything else mimicked later on

Oh, Mary, you're the kind of person that movies like these were made for, just for your reactions alone. 😂 Just imagine what people in cinemas went through back in 1978 when Halloween first came out.

“Obviously this isn’t the best horror film ever made” Actually it is pretty much considered to be one of, if not THE best, horror movie ever made by most film fans. It is a masterpeice of atmosphere, has an amazing score, and perfected the slasher the genre to the point that no movie since has ever been as good (besides maybe the first Scream movie).

Girl yells "Hey jerk! Speed kills!". Later, we see her driving, still unaware. Then later, she is killed by Michael in her car. 'Speed kills'. He has a sense of humor, or at least a sense of irony. Then, he wears a bedsheet with glasses - probably one from the clothesline in the backyard. Then, the way he stows the bodies away, positioning them just right for Laurie to find. He's a joker.

John Carpenter "plugging" his 1982 movie back in 1978...😂 Nope, that was actually the original 'The Thing' from 1951, Mary. Pure (pretty awesome) coincidence.😉

Great reaction Mary! 🙂 One thing to note about this horror classic is John Carpenter's theme music played every time Michael was around. It's the same idea as John Williams' theme music playing every time Jaws was around. Also, the reason Michael didn't die is because he got his mask back on before being shot. That's what makes him such a great antagonist...that he's pretty much invincible. I'm glad you finally got around to seeing Halloween. I really hope you're feeling better soon!!

27:33 yeah, a hallmark of slasher movies is that the killer is basically unstoppable. it's unclear exactly WHY, but i suppose that's supposed to add to the horror of it. you can't kill the monster, you can only temporarily contain or run from it.

Finally, you react to this horror classic. It certainly was not the beginning of horror, but half the films today would not exist without this including Friday the 13th and Scream. :D

Halloween is an outstanding classic. The music, the vibe, the tension. Still going strong today. Watched Halloween Kills two weeks ago...OMG. Funny that you think a mobile phone would do any good. Nope...Myers doesn't do selfies.

"You can't kill the Boogeyman." Maybe Laurie can't, but John Wick can.

this was the movie that started all the tropes. Every slasher movie used the formula that Halloween created.

Not the first slasher movie, but the most influential, and without even being gory or gruesome. It's just really fucking suspenseful and creative.

Halloween is for slashers what Scream was for Slashers in the 90s. You should watch Psycho from 1960 another one that kinda started the known Slasher.

Remember in the Elm Street movie Freddy was getting back at the kids of the people who burned him to death?

Definitely watch more from this franchise! Depends on which timeline you want to go for, haha. Basically pick your poison, if you want Michael to be supernatural, or just human, etc etc. We want more reactions to the series!

That was actually "The Thing from Another World". John Carpenter's is actually a remake. The 50s original is itself based a novella from the 30s called "Who Goes There?". Weird to think that the story of The Thing is nearly one hundred years old.

I would love to see you react to Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 masterpiece "Psycho". Jamie Lee Curtis's mother stars in it.

Now, to be fair to Laurie at the end... she is in shock from finding her friends brutally murdered and she likely has a concussion from that fall. Clear thinking is not an option right now...

"It won't be that scary compared to stuff today" bwhahahahahahaha.

One of the best Halloween movie ever made

I was 13yrs old in 1978...i remember me and a group of friends had to sneak into the movie theater to see this because it was rated R had a older friend buy the tickets and one at a time we snuck in with the crowd...lol

John Carpenter is one of those directors that created movies & sticks with you after you watch. The music theme he also created.

“I’m going to get sick of this theme” …… are you high?

Can't wait for you to watch Halloween (2018), Halloween Kills (2021) and Halloween Ends (2022)

15:00 Mary, you're so funny. You even called it & STILL you freaked TF out.

the reason she keeps dropping the knife instead of stabbing him again is because they want to draw out the final confrontation, lol. but in-universe, you could also argue that she does it because she's so horrified at having stabbed someone. she's not an action hero here, she's just a normal teenager who, through no fault of her own, is being targeted by this monster. and i know we all say we'd stab him again just to make sure, but i honestly don't know if i would have the stomach for it if i was in that situation. i'd probably just want to get away as fast as possible. though i do hope that in the moment, i would have the presence of mind to keep the weapon.

Just think its nearly 50yrs old. I think ive prob seen these films when i was way younger but yea its a Mt Rushmore for Horror/Slasher films

He stands and watches, Because that nourishes him.

An undeniable classic!

10:19 To answer your question about the dog Michael ate the dog, because the Dr. Loomis said he got hungry, also this theme you’ve been hearing originated from this movie, but today most people have unfortunately only heard it on social media for memes but don’t even recognize it as the Halloween theme.

Fun fact, the mask is an unfinished thing based on William Shatner's face. That means the spooky killer is wearing a Captain Kirk mask.

Oh Ya Mary 😂😂😂You younger people crack me up because there was a time where you could leave your doors and windows 🪟 open day and night and not be scared 😱…We used to leave our doors 🚪 open and go grocery shopping and nobody would steal nothing and if the neighbor’s needed something while you were gone they would walk over and get in the fridge or cabinet and grab what they needed…Oh the good ole days…Shame you young kids missed out on feeling that safe…😅

The movie isn't telling you how to feel; turn off your subtitles ffs.

Halloween came out in '78 while his movie, The Thing, came out in '82. Ponder that fact for a moment, Mary. The Thing movie title on TV was from the original, classic version from the '50s, and was pretty scary for its time, but not like Carpenter's version.

The fact that he has no motive is what makes the movie so great and creepy. The later sequels tried to give what he was doing some kind of motive and it honestly ruined them.

"His just mad because he's a virgin" Oh that's why you loved She-Hulk so much...

That’s actually not John Carpenter’s The Thing, it’s the original. His came out about 4 years after this

Actually even in the credits he is referred to as “ THE SHAPE “

The Michael Myres mask is actually a mask of William Shatner turned inside out that was used in the movie.

You can't kill the boogeyman

@mary the lore basically says he is an embodiment of evil, and the more rage and violence is used against him, the more powerful he becomes.

Review Superman 1978.

"Stepsister stuck in the window." huh?

Weird Fact**..Michael Myers Mask was a Captain Kirk from Star Trek mask made from a mold of William Shatners face which they painted white for the Halloween movie, thats how small the budget on Halloween actually was...

You think older movies aren't scary? I challenge you to watch The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1973) and Black Christmas (1974)

Back then, they were NOT smoking "weed" in a middle class neighborhood. Her Dad would have gotten on her for smoking cigarettes. You are decades away from smoking weed.

I never understood why Laurie was stalked all Halloween day, and by Halloween night shes telling Tommy Doyle hes imagining things. The thing is it doesnt matter, because the film is so effective at being scary that the little plot holes and inconsistences are irrelevant. I agree that JLC is a much better lead than the annoying teen in Nightmare on Elm St and i didnt like the lead in Friday 13th either

70s to 80s small town middle class America especially in your neiborhood with kind neighbors where we grew up you could leave your doors unlocked at night or the back of the house door open with just tbe screen door shut ,or even if you forgot to shut or pull down your garage door things would be OK back then ,I know we did it and alot of the families in our neighborhood did it back then, unfortunately not so much any more in this day and age

You thought it was weird smoking 🚬 in someone elses bed? What about having nasty sex in someone's bed. Halloween is a long franchise. About 7 movies .

Even if he wasn't "pure evil" many people have survived multiple gunshots. Movies often overestimate the reaction people have to being shot especially with a smaller caliber handgun.

SO GLAD TO SEE YOU REACT THIS MOVIE! The is the original slasher film!

The Thing on the TV was from the original from 1957 not the 1982 remake with Kurt Russell.

"The Thing" was not shameless plug. That is from even older movie. Carpenter made his "the Thing" in 80s.

One of the greatest slasher movies of all time

Why would a skunk kill a dog? 😂😂😂😂 He meant the animal Michael ate off of could have been a skunk and not a dog.

Judith Myers body is not missing just the grave stone AND it’s the shape or Michael Myers not he 😊

I don't think movies are scarier now. Or more bloody. Hellraiser is more gross than 98% of the new stuff

27:29 😈 Oh no Ms. Cherry. He's more than just human. He's something only nightmares are made of. Happy Halloween 🎃

18:26 So, fooling around in a strangers bedroom is ok, but smoking in their bed is crossing a line LOL..just kidding

The movie introduction to The Thing was actually the original movie.

Well, Michael's been institutionalized for decades, so he would be a virgin.

Has anyone told Mary yet how truly talented John Carpenter is, being able to include a film within a film that he had yet to make. Best. Mike.

btw, never look how much time is left, it takes you out of the immersion. You should never know if it is 5 min or 40 min left
