Amazon.co.uk Review
Halloween is as pure and undiluted as its title. In the small town of Haddonfield, Illinois, a teenage baby sitter tries to survive a Halloween night of relentless terror, during which a knife-wielding maniac goes after the town's hormonally charged youths. Director John Carpenter takes this simple situation and orchestrates a superbly mounted symphony of horrors. It's a movie much scarier for its dark spaces and ominous camera movements than for its explicit bloodletting (which is actually minimal). Composed by Carpenter himself, the movie's freaky music sets the tone; and his script (cowritten with Debra Hill) is laced with references to other horror pictures, especially Psycho. The baby sitter is played by Jamie Lee Curtis, the real-life daughter of Psycho victim Janet Leigh; and the obsessed policeman played by Donald Pleasence is named Sam Loomis, after John Gavin's character in Psycho. In the end, though, Halloween stands on its own as an uncannily frightening experience--it's one of those movies that had audiences literally jumping out of their seats and shouting at the screen. ("No! Don't drop that knife!") Produced on a low budget, the picture turned a monster profit, and spawned many sequels, none of which approached the 1978 original. Curtis returned for two more instalments: 1981's dismal Halloween II, which picked up the story the day after the unfortunate events, and 1998's occasionally gripping Halloween H20, which proved the former baby sitter was still haunted after 20 years. --Robert Horton

Synopsis
HALLOWEEN was a deceptively simple horror script that took on completely unexpected life in the hands of thoughtful director John Carpenter, co-writer/producer Debra Hill and actor Jamie Lee Curtis. As the now familiar story goes, it's been years since crazed killer Michael Myers was hospitalized for murdering his sister. Now he's escaped and on the loose on, of course, Halloween night. The resulting picture was agonizingly thrilling and Carpenter's quiet moments were filled with searing dread that were almost physically painful to endure.
Twenty-five years later, HALLOWEEN has proved a leader in the horror genre and a classic that has not lost its ability to scare the pants off of audiences and make their blood turn cold. This wonderful package, HALLOWEEN - 25TH ANNIVERSARY, celebrates this landmark anniversary with audio commentary and lots of other extras.
