@@DavidvsFilm more importantly how the heck did no hear the stolen government issued station wagon drive away from poor poor Laurie Strode's old high school little low pull up on Dr. Loomis as well as Sheriff Leigh Brackett while both of them were watching The Old Myers House?
My favorite scene in this film is the scene where Loomis is talking to the sheriff about how Michael when their in the myers house. “The blackest eyes. The devils eyes.”
So, obviously I joke because that’s my default, but that aside, I appreciated this for the great film it is. And I agree- lines like that are (in my opinion) what cemented this as a great origin story.
"Halloween" is virtually perfect in every way, a masterpiece of the genre, and Donald Pleasence was brilliant in it. He was a gift to every film he ever did. He could read a phone book and make it engrossing.
I mean, David, I was blown away. I was so pissed I waited so long to see it, though I know why I did (because I was scared, like an idiot). But yes, so so great. Thank you for your comment :)
When you factor in the fact that Carpenter had no budget to work with, had to film in people's actual homes, in real neighborhoods, actors wore their own clothes, he wrote the screen play, wrote the score and directed....it is amazing. It was supposed to be an exploitation movie that went to a few theaters then straight to the drive in (before video). He took nothing and made a quality product. No money was spent on advertising, it was mostly word of mouth over many weeks time that made it a hit. I LOVE this movie.
15:55 Just look at it this way. What you are seeing is actually the dog jumping up into his trainers arms. They filmed that and then played the scene backwards, making it look like the dog was going limp. Doggy didn't die, he was getting a HUG!
Oh God yes, I've heard a couple of people say that, and I'm already nervous thinking about it. It's a perfect fit for this though- I haven't seen it, don't know anything about it really, so it would be a good choice. Thank you!
I was raised in a family that LOVED horror movies. LOVED them. And even though I do, too, I am a scaredy cat. I also have an older brother. So I know you can see where I am going with this. My brother LOVED to scare me. He would hide under my bed and grab my ankle like the clown in Poltergeist, he would just let me see the shape of a butcher knife on the other side of the shower curtain like in psycho, he would turn off the power in the house randomly when my parents weren't there just to make me scream. He would threaten to put a good guy doll in my bed (Chucky). And all that before I was 12 years old. One night when I was about 12, maybe 13, he had finally received his Michael Myers mask. He had been saving for it for like a year and had ordered it from a catalog. He put it on and put a hoodie over it. He walked into my room while I was sleeping and leaned down over me before whispering my name until I woke up. Now, I don't remember this at all, but my brother said I opened my eyes and he saw what raw terror looked like. He said I opened my mouth to let out the most terrified scream, but no sound came out. He said I looked so terrified it actually scared HIM. So he said he kept saying my name and he tried to remove the mask but in his panic, He couldn't remember the hoodie. And his voice wasn't penetrating my terror. And finally, my eyes rolled in the back of my head, and I fainted. He said he thought he had KILLED me. He was 13, maybe 14 at the time. It scared him so bad that he never ever ever pranked me again. This was about 35 years ago, and he says he STILL remembers how terrified I was.
Oh my God I shouldn't have been laughing as much as I was during your story, but that is hilarious. And sounds EXACTLY like something that would happen to me. Luckily I didn't have an older brother to prank me, but I've had friends who took over the task through the years.
@@DavidvsFilm Oh, laugh all you want... I'm happy I scared him into leaving me alone LOL. I'm scared of clown and one time he put one riiiiiight next to my head while I was sleeping, so I woke up and a clown was the first thing I saw... so... yeah, Karma's a b!tch, brother lol
Seriously! Even worse, right after I finished the movie, I had to take my dog for her nightly walk through the neighborhood. Wind was blowing, leaves on the street, too similar lol
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"
I always thought that the point of Michael driving the car with ease was to show that he was actually intellectual and calculating, despite the fact that he was so unstable.
I hadn't thought of it that way. But I like it. I just watched the newest Halloween, Halloween Kills. I don't know if you've seen it, but it was cool to see the old characters back and some of the original actors who portrayed them.
OMG, your reactions were classic. Love watching and had me laughing in many parts. This movie is my all time favorite and the 2nd one (I believe) is a very close second. Love your channel and very happy that I found you.❣️💕
Yes!! I loved that it continued like that. I have mad respect for the Halloween series now. I know I haven't seen the "bad" ones yet, but I at least love the ones I've seen so far: Halloween, Halloween II, Halloween H20 (I know, not the best, but I liked it!), Halloween 2018, and Halloween Kills.
I was born in 1980, i first saw this in 1985. It only became my favourite movie in my early 20's (and several times has switched places with Die Hard as my favourite film, but is currently my number 1 lol). Obviously i have loved horrors since i was a young kid, but i will admit as a kid Annie's death freaked me out and left me with probably a sensible obsession of checking the back seat before getting in a car lol.
You got the beauty of it. Imagine giving a young dude $300.000, which is pocket change for a movie, and this is what he delivers. It's filmmaking at it's finest. It's simple, lean, beautifully shot and terrifying. Many have tried after but none came close.
Just finished watching a few videos including cooking and movie reactions. I love your sense of humor, don't let anyone stop you. Your type of humor is not for all, but many of us love it. Halloween 1978 is my favorite horror film and deserves all the praise. It's how I found your video. I subscribed today as #178. and look forward to your first 500 Subscribers, 1000, so fourth. Best of luck to you and Marc. =)
Man, you have no idea how much this comment means to me! I really appreciate that. You are right about my humor not being for everyone, but I am glad it appeals to YOU! I'm having a lot of fun doing these, and I definitely appreciate you subscribing. Let me know what you think of future ones, and what other movies I should check out, Albee.
Thanks, Mark! I know I make comments and jab at them some, but I really do respect them. I always think that even with the WORST films, someone worked on that and showed it to their mom with pride, so I TRY to have respect for something. There's a lotta Joey Tribbiani's out there lol ("The lighting was good.")
The revival of the slasher films begins here! The legend of Michaels Myers lies here as well the label of the "Final Girl." Say what you will about the sequels but this will always be the best in the series. I have actually been to the Myers home and it gave me good chills to see it, just thinking of all the great moments in this film. Carpenter really knocked it out of the park with not only the story and his directing, but his music compositions. You can always count on him for great original themes. I would like to hear your takes on the rest of the franchise whether you enjoy them or not and also retcon a majority of them as the newer Halloween films suggest. Truly one of the classics and I loved your commentary yet again.
Totally! Was the catch phrase of the 1970’s. I grew up in the 70’s. I watched Halloween as a teenager. The creepy moment for me was the attack in the bedroom closet. I hear Michael Myers moaning as he’s destroying the closet shutters. Gave me nightmares. Great reactions.
8:00 your reactions are already perfect… I’m subscribing. Might not watch every video, but I will definitely look forward to more reactions… now I will catch up on more reactions, well… finish this one THEN more. 😬😅 I ramble sometimes…apologies to your comment sections 😂
*21:40**: He’s like, “William…Shatner…?!”* Ohmigosh…I have been straight-up wheeze-laughing, where you can’t catch your breath until you start coughing, for 5 minutes over that. It sounds like I’ve been chain-smoking for 30 years, though I’ve never touched a cigarette. That can’t be good. This whole reaction has been hilarious, but that line really got me.
John Carpenter never intended there to be a sequel. The ending is the full "reveal" that everything Loomis had been saying, that he was not a man, but an embodiment of evil itself, was true. Obviously, no man could survive 6 shots to the chest and then a 20ft fall from a balcony and just get up and walk away. Once that was revealed, Carpenter just wanted to leave the audience with the idea that he could be out there anywhere and was unstoppable......the boogeyman.
Yeah, with regards to the sequels, I guess it's the age-old film argument of art vs. commerce. With commercial success comes studios begging you to do more.
Came here to say this. The sequel, which picks up literally the moment the first ends, was never planned. But unfortunately for John Carpenter and Debra Hill (or fortunately for their careers), this became the most profitable indie movie ever made. Carpenter got drunk and wrote Halloween II in a single night just to satisfy producer Irwin Yablans. After the financial failure of The Fog, he felt the need to make something more universally appealing, so it's gory and awfuil. While I've seen all the sequels, the only one I come back to is the original.
Thank you!! And ohhhhhhh yes. I have actually seen the newer ones already, along with H20 (I know, random) and I am really excited about Halloween Ends!
I am so glad I discovered your channel. Just subscribed. You are hilarious and I love the reactions. And how cool your had “weirdness” going on at your own house. I want to be front and center if your own candle ever lights. Please react to The Thing. One of my favorite movies of all time. I really believe you would like it.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that. Yeah you are in good company with The Thing- it's now on my list for next week after Friday the 13th (next up) and Conjuring.
My favorite scary movie. It’s simple, not gory, but scary AF with the shots of him in the window or background - we know Michael is there when the characters do not. Always loved that and watch it almost every year.
Thank you! Yes to ALL of this. I did not expect to become such a fan of this series, but it won me over! My Halloween 4 reaction is going up in about 30 min. Check it out if you are interested :)
Well to be fair the sheriff was there too. He didn't notice that lol. Was that there the whole time. Is Tommy's house that close to the Myers house. So was Loomis sitting there hearing Annie honking the horn over and over and didn't want to check it out. Just figured dang kids lol.
So happy you enjoyed the film because a lot of people don't get that the cool part is the "averageness" of it. Like it could be happening to you/people you know. (You might like Phantasm for the same reason.) I also love your asides, "nothing to do with the movie but that's a pretty tree." Hubby and I are hooked on your reactions.
Thank you so much, Teddi!! I have no idea what I'm doing half the time, but I'm having fun watching all these movies haha. This one was really enjoyable to me, definitely one of my favorites I've seen so far. Honestly, these have made me regret being afraid to watch scary movies for so long. And I really appreciate you guys checking out my videos. I jotted down Phantasm, but let me know if there are any others you and your hubby recommend that I should watch!
That warms my heart to hear! I appreciate the kind words. Yeah, I have to say it really blew me away with how great it ended up being. I really enjoyed it quite a bit. Looking forward to more of these movies ramping up to Halloween (the holiday).
@@DavidvsFilm great to get your reply , thank you . My faves are Halloween '78 , Halloween 2, Halloween H20 and Halloween 2018. I hope to catch more of your reviews, we loved sharing your scares and funny moments.🙂
people see him walking around the neighborhood, but they dont mind because hes doing their laundry, watering their lawns, washing their cars and lighting their bbq pits
Whaaaaaaat???? Man I am learning so much from the comments here. I know I watched some kind of special or doc on either this movie or horror movies in general, but I need to find one specifically for Halloween. Sounds like there are a lot of really cool trivia tidbits.
I watch a lot of 1st time reactions for this film and everybody always has a similar reaction to you,they love and deservedly so...this is the movie that started it all(slashers)
It's one thing Dr. Loomis didn't see the station wagon but what does that say for Sheriff Bracket who JUST came to check on him? He must have been too busy jump scaring people in the neighborhood and even HE missed the car parked 20 feet away lol🤔🤓🙈
Yes I just watched The Thing most recently, and I had NO IDEA!! I love little Easter eggs like that. I really appreciate your comment and you watching my little video. Thanks!
My all time favorite horror film! This and Halloween 2 make you appreciate Laurie's absolute bad ass character in H20 when she calls out the shape... Epic!
@@DavidvsFilm Great Idea. I know the new movie Halloween Kills (2021) is coming out, and a lot of people are watching the original Halloween and then skipping to Halloween (2018) but I consider Halloween II (1981) superior to that 2018 movie in pretty much every way.
Guerilla film making at its best, if i remember right it was filmed in 23 days. To make california to look like illinos they hay had 4 large bags of leaves to make it look like the fall. after each take the cast and crew had to get all the leaves up for the next shot!
Oh Chet, if only you knew me and my low threshold for being scared by horror movies.. Honestly though, I ended up not being as scared as I thought I would be, and more so really enjoyed it. This made a Halloween fan out of me.
Fear, like humor, is subjective and personal. To me this is the scariest movie ever made, I just laugh at other "scary movies" but this one still gets me.
Vickie!! Aww I love you chica!! Yeah, I was always so scared to watch ANY OF THESE. But I am actually really enjoying now. And I'm only on like one anxiety pill! lol I miss seeing you, and I hope you are doing well, friend!!
That’s a good question. Maybe like a nickname, or how he was originally called in the script, etc? I think that’s sometimes the reason- especially in first films.
@@DavidvsFilm every Halloween me and my kids have a scary movie night. Pizza, candy, and the first movie we watch is always Halloween. I own the whole set.
I’m just now going through some of your older reactions, I didn’t see this OR the sequel on your page! Have you watched Halloween Kills yet?! Kyle reprises her role! She’s in it for quite a bit!
Ohhhh yes. I have seen them now, but at the time I hadn’t. Kyle did pretty good, actually! I was surprised/impressed. Then, tipsy and against my better judgment, I watched a Christmas movie also with Kyle and Marie from Breaking Bad (if you’ve watched that show), and liked her in that too! Either she’s getting better or my standards are falling fast.
Hi Lucas! That's a popular one, isn't it? Why? I mean I'm down, don't get me wrong, because it has a lot of people I like in it, but why do you recommend it?
@@DavidvsFilm it's the mother of all the slashers from the eighties. It's not gory, it's creepy as hell. It has great acting and characteres. John Carpenter was a friend of this movie's director (Bob Clark) and asked him if he was thinking of doing a sequel. Clark said he didn't want to do a sequel but if there was one the killer would attack in a different holliday. Carpenter took this words , gave the killer a different personalitie, and Halloween was born.
I've seen a few people kinda mock, laugh at, or question the scene of Michael revealing himself to Lynda with the sheet and glasses over his head. And I think that scene is very misunderstood. It wasn't some goofy comic relief, or some insight into Michael taking pleasure from messing with people. It was more of the film's attention to practicality and detail. Michael had no real way of getting into the bedroom without Lynda freaking out. If she freaks out she makes noise, which draws unwanted attention and Michael already risked that with Annie in the car using her horn. So Michael threw on the sheet to obscure his appearance, and added Bob's glasses for the disguise, and that made Lynda drop her guard and let Michael get close. Even though Lynda was thoroughly freaked out by the way "Bob" was acting just standing and staring at her. And actress PJ Soles did a pretty good job at selling that uncomfortability.
One thing that people often miss about Michael is that he is very intelligent, especially compared to other slashers. He's also observant. He's always watching and listening. It makes him that much scarier...
I'd love to see Michael pov in this especially at parts we don't see him like the station wagon was by Tommy's house buy then Loomis sees it down street of Myers house so he must have moved it why so lookis would come looking for him lol. Leaving him bread crumbs to come after him lol
My all time favorite horror movie. Have seen it at last a 100x over the years. But the scene where he sits straight up over her shoulder still gets me. Would have to have some good abs to do that. I'm like a turtle on it's back trying to set up.. 😏
Oh good, whew! Yeah, so let me tell you how I arrived at this one.. First of all, until I knew if I was going to like doing this, I wasn't going to be spending a lot of money. I did a little research and learned about the dynamic vs the condenser mic, and I figured the dynamic was the way to go for me and my purposes. I also wanted to started with USB, because I could plug it directly into my iPhone (which is what I used to record the video, btw). I tried the Blue Yeti snowball one, the Blue Yeti bigger one for around $120, and this Samson. The Samson by far was the best sounding to me- AND it was a decent price at $60 (with a coupon on Amazon at the time) for the quality. Highly recommend.
you want a jump scare movie to react to watch the Lazarus Effect i saw it when it first came out at the cinema with a friend she was got scared but not me I love horror movies
You should react to Slither, its a horror comedy, directed by James Gunn, who directed both guardians of the galaxy movies and the latest suicide squad movie, starinng Nathan Fillion, from Firefly, Castle and the suicide squad, funny!
Really? I didn't know he did that! Yeah, I'm familiar with James of course (love his take on material) and his brother too, and I've seen Nathan Fillion in several things. BUT I've never seen Firefly, Castle or any of the Suicide Squads. All are on my list to watch one day (though Castle is further down- not bc of quality, but bc there a quite a few season if I recall)
People were more scared back in the 70s with the exorcist because people were more religious but now religion has almost disappeared and this is why people don’t flinch at sinful things like rape and murder anymore…I love Halloween and Halloween 🎃 2 because they are story driven not just how much gore can we throw at you like now. The 70s and 80s were great at stories and if you just set back and have fun and lose yourself in the movie and not try and pick it apart you will have a good time.. Movies like caddy shack and police academy and Porkys and revenge of the nerds and poltergeist were made for you to escape your troubles at home and just have a good time…Two more good ones by John Carpenter are They Live and Escape From New York they are must see movies 🎥….P.S I absolutely love your clock 🕰 on the wall you got there….
I love and agree with everything in your comments. So, so true. With regards to the angle on the exorcist, that's a great point you make about considering the era and where the country/movies were at the time. I should have thought of it that way- thank you! And thanks for your compliment about the clock! I picked it up at a yard sale. It doesn't work, and I need to fix it, but in the meantime I just set it to 11:18- my anniversary so I wouldn't forget lol
They finished up fast like in flatliners. One second they having sex and mom hitting on dkor. Next second mom about to come in and dudes right there fully dressed and leaving. At least this guy still putting on shirt. Dang that was fast lol.
I don’t know if anybody told you but 2 starts off from part 1. Part 3 has nothing to do with the franchise as they were going to start making every Halloween 🎃 movie story different after that kinda like the twilight zone or creep show but when 3 came out and people saw it they were like what the H E double hockey stick 🏒 is this ..Even thought the film is just ok and jamie lee Curtis does the voice over the speakers people were sorely disappointed 😢 and demanded that Micheal return and when they so the box office intake they immediately agreed so every since then they have been trying to catch the lightning ⚡️ in the bottle again with it … Now you got Halloween 🎃 Kills out and they really thought they had something but I’m very let down by it after all the hype..I give it a 5 out 10…. But u should watch it for the heck of it…….
I am excited to watch Part 2 actually. And I will probably watch that in the next couple of days. The only other Halloween I had seen at the time of watching the original in this video was H20. Since then, I have watched Halloween 2018 and I JUST watched Halloween Kills the other day. I completely agree with you. I understand that this was the second in a three-part offering, so my guess is that this one was dedicated to the "town" and their grievances, and the next one will be more Laurie vs. Micahel, and the legacy passed down to her granddaughter maybe? What do you think?
He'll yeah this is scarier than exorcist lol. The only thing that could be scary about exorcist is about demons floating around ready to possess you or influence you I guess wonder if Regan didn't play with wigi board if it'd still come after her lol. But that whole thing about demons automatically makes me think of Halloween Is that what happened to Michael either demon or spirit or something that's why Debra and John liked the idea of Setting this on Halloween the one night of the year where the veil is thinnest and spirits can crossover to our world and possess people lol. And the line in this about this kind of thing happens in every town makes me think of exorcist and really any other horror movie but even if it don't still make me think of demons or something out there possessing or influence people to kill their families or friends or random people lol. That's crazy every town has that lol these demons or things is basically playing GTA or some kind of game and were the avatars or characters you can play as run around do bad stuff have fun if they die so what just go to next person and do more bad stuff lol. That's easy to believe lol
Agreed, and thanks, I'll check it out. Oh hey did you watch the recent Harry Potter reactions? I tried to curb back the spoilers per your notes on the older ones ;) Hope you're doing well.
@@DavidvsFilm yeah I've been keeping up. You'd be surprised how many movie reaction channels barely pay attention. You guys are among the best currently watching it.
Attack the block is a little obscure but it's really good. The great wall with matt damon is also a great monster/horror genre film. Others would be Lost in translation, dazed and confused, almost famous. Just a few suggestions of great movies hardly anyone reacts to, but I know you probably have polls or something.
@@apatternedhorizon Sometimes I’ll do polls, rarely, mostly I just rely on recommendations, then weigh those against what I haven’t seen/want to see. Attack the Block is a new one to me, and I forgot about Great Wall, never saw it, so thank you for those (noted). Lost in Translation was great and I love Almost Famous (and speaking of Almost Famous, even Elizabethtown is another of Crowe’s I actually like quite a bit). But nothing on your list touches Dazed and Confused. To this day, that movie still holds the record for the movie I’ve watched the most. I could probably quote every line, and the music- my God.
@@DavidvsFilm same, I've literally seen it at least 400 times. Well i know you've got good movie taste if you're familiar with most of those. Empire Records?
Very good reaction man, BTW if you want to see the sequels, PLEASE watch the TV Cut of "Halloween 2 (1981)", since it's the version that's closer to what the director wanted to show to the audience back then until John Carpenter decided to change the script.
He'll yeah scarier than exorcist lol just a vulgar little girl that stays in her room vs a boogeyman that can be anywhere and goes after anybody lol. I don't live in Georgetown so don't have to worry about that girl don't live in Haddon field either but he can be anywhere or go anywhere not necessarily just in Haddon field either him or something like him lol. Evil people everywhere lol.
Thanks Juan! I watched the original Carpenter Thing and have a video up on it, if you are interested. It was awesome and I loved it! I was rooting for the dog in the beginning, until, well, yeah.. I haven’t seen the remake (sequel? prequel?) yet, but you vote No on that one, huh?
@@DavidvsFilm Thank you for the response. I'm so honor by it. The "new" Thing is supposed to be a prequel of the Carpenter version, but everyone is dumb there and the Thing is full CG and it behave nothing like the Carpenter one, kind of dumb as well. But I would love to see your thoughts on that and compare the 2 films. Thanks again for your content, keep it going!!!
@@jpbenavides4969 Hey the honor is mine- I appreciate you watching and offering your comments. There are so many great movies I haven’t seen, and I definitely would like to do exactly what you said- watch the newer one and then give a comparison. I think it would be fun, and you’ll have to be sure to watch it when I do, Juan! :)
An absolute masterpiece! THIS is how I like horror movies: lean, mean, tense and NOT relying on gore to be “scary”.
Totally. Made me regret it took so long for me to watch! It’s now going to be an October staple at my house.

Doggy didn't die, he was getting a HUG!
Haha, I like it this way better. Yes.
Wish we could say the same about the other dog. He ate it.
John Carpenter's The THING is absolutely worth it. One of the best practical effects movies of all time.
Oh God yes, I've heard a couple of people say that, and I'm already nervous thinking about it. It's a perfect fit for this though- I haven't seen it, don't know anything about it really, so it would be a good choice. Thank you!
I was raised in a family that LOVED horror movies. LOVED them. And even though I do, too, I am a scaredy cat. I also have an older brother. So I know you can see where I am going with this. My brother LOVED to scare me. He would hide under my bed and grab my ankle like the clown in Poltergeist, he would just let me see the shape of a butcher knife on the other side of the shower curtain like in psycho, he would turn off the power in the house randomly when my parents weren't there just to make me scream. He would threaten to put a good guy doll in my bed (Chucky). And all that before I was 12 years old.
One night when I was about 12, maybe 13, he had finally received his Michael Myers mask. He had been saving for it for like a year and had ordered it from a catalog. He put it on and put a hoodie over it. He walked into my room while I was sleeping and leaned down over me before whispering my name until I woke up.
Now, I don't remember this at all, but my brother said I opened my eyes and he saw what raw terror looked like. He said I opened my mouth to let out the most terrified scream, but no sound came out. He said I looked so terrified it actually scared HIM. So he said he kept saying my name and he tried to remove the mask but in his panic, He couldn't remember the hoodie. And his voice wasn't penetrating my terror. And finally, my eyes rolled in the back of my head, and I fainted. He said he thought he had KILLED me.
He was 13, maybe 14 at the time. It scared him so bad that he never ever ever pranked me again. This was about 35 years ago, and he says he STILL remembers how terrified I was.
Oh my God I shouldn't have been laughing as much as I was during your story, but that is hilarious. And sounds EXACTLY like something that would happen to me. Luckily I didn't have an older brother to prank me, but I've had friends who took over the task through the years.

Ever wonder why you lock your door at night?
This movie is why you don't even question the thought of doing so.
Seriously! Even worse, right after I finished the movie, I had to take my dog for her nightly walk through the neighborhood. Wind was blowing, leaves on the street, too similar lol
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"
YESSSSS there you go! The much more in-depth, eloquent version of my comment haha. Thank you so much!
"Break the glass, Activia!" LMAO!! Great reaction. New subscriber, looking forward to more.
Haha, Thank you, I really appreciate that! Let me know how you like future videos, and others I should check out.
This is hysterical! Fantastic first reaction to a truly frightening film from the golden years. Love your channel - cheers!
Thank you!! So glad you found it :)
I always thought that the point of Michael driving the car with ease was to show that he was actually intellectual and calculating, despite the fact that he was so unstable.
I hadn't thought of it that way. But I like it.
I just watched the newest Halloween, Halloween Kills. I don't know if you've seen it, but it was cool to see the old characters back and some of the original actors who portrayed them.
OMG, your reactions were classic. Love watching and had me laughing in many parts. This movie is my all time favorite and the 2nd one (I believe) is a very close second. Love your channel and very happy that I found you.❣️💕
Thank you so much, that warms my heart! I appreciate the kind words. Definitely looking forward to the sequel.
” as i got older and died inside more”… me!! 😂😂
The original Hallowe'en 2 is very good too. It continues straight off from the same night of the first!
Yes!! I loved that it continued like that. I have mad respect for the Halloween series now. I know I haven't seen the "bad" ones yet, but I at least love the ones I've seen so far: Halloween, Halloween II, Halloween H20 (I know, not the best, but I liked it!), Halloween 2018, and Halloween Kills.
@@DavidvsFilm Part IV wasn't too bad. V and VI leave a lot to be desired (but have some cool moments)
I was born in 1980, i first saw this in 1985. It only became my favourite movie in my early 20's (and several times has switched places with Die Hard as my favourite film, but is currently my number 1 lol). Obviously i have loved horrors since i was a young kid, but i will admit as a kid Annie's death freaked me out and left me with probably a sensible obsession of checking the back seat before getting in a car lol.
Checking the back seat should be taught in driver's ed. lol
You got the beauty of it. Imagine giving a young dude $300.000, which is pocket change for a movie, and this is what he delivers. It's filmmaking at it's finest. It's simple, lean, beautifully shot and terrifying. Many have tried after but none came close.
Love This Legendary Movie At All Time.
LMAOOOO "hes like william SHATNER?" had me fuckin crying
Hahaha I mean, that's what I'd be thinking.
Well, he is wearing a modified William Shatner mask.
@@fynnthefox9078 no shit
Just finished watching a few videos including cooking and movie reactions. I love your sense of humor, don't let anyone stop you. Your type of humor is not for all, but many of us love it. Halloween 1978 is my favorite horror film and deserves all the praise. It's how I found your video. I subscribed today as #178. and look forward to your first 500 Subscribers, 1000, so fourth. Best of luck to you and Marc. =)
Man, you have no idea how much this comment means to me! I really appreciate that. You are right about my humor not being for everyone, but I am glad it appeals to YOU! I'm having a lot of fun doing these, and I definitely appreciate you subscribing. Let me know what you think of future ones, and what other movies I should check out, Albee.
Another awesome reaction!! You are hilarious and I love how invested you get in the films and respect the craftsmanship! 👍😀
Thanks, Mark! I know I make comments and jab at them some, but I really do respect them. I always think that even with the WORST films, someone worked on that and showed it to their mom with pride, so I TRY to have respect for something. There's a lotta Joey Tribbiani's out there lol ("The lighting was good.")
@@DavidvsFilm hahaha! Totally! It’s the perfect mix, if you ask me!! 😊
I loved how this movie does a half dozen misdirects before the kills, which are off screen.
Yup, very true.
The revival of the slasher films begins here! The legend of Michaels Myers lies here as well the label of the "Final Girl." Say what you will about the sequels but this will always be the best in the series. I have actually been to the Myers home and it gave me good chills to see it, just thinking of all the great moments in this film. Carpenter really knocked it out of the park with not only the story and his directing, but his music compositions. You can always count on him for great original themes. I would like to hear your takes on the rest of the franchise whether you enjoy them or not and also retcon a majority of them as the newer Halloween films suggest. Truly one of the classics and I loved your commentary yet again.
You said ACTIVIA🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
hahaha. It's how I know she will survive the next one.
Just found your channel. Love your humor! This was such a fun reaction.
Aww thank you Heather!! That reaction goes waaaay back! Great movie though- Glad you’re here. :)
Now after hearing about new one. I'm looking at the window when they walking up like is Michael standing there at window looking lol.
Totally! Was the catch phrase of the 1970’s. I grew up in the 70’s. I watched Halloween as a teenager.
The creepy moment for me was the attack in the bedroom closet. I hear Michael Myers moaning as he’s destroying the closet shutters. Gave me nightmares.
Great reactions.
8:00 your reactions are already perfect… I’m subscribing. Might not watch every video, but I will definitely look forward to more reactions… now I will catch up on more reactions, well… finish this one THEN more. 😬😅 I ramble sometimes…apologies to your comment sections 😂
Thank you so much!!! More horror coming once we get closer to Halloween season (which for me starts in July lol)
"But when I got older, and died inside a bit more..." 😂
Just a tad. haha
@@DavidvsFilm It's funny 'cause it's true
*21:40**: He’s like, “William…Shatner…?!”*
Ohmigosh…I have been straight-up wheeze-laughing, where you can’t catch your breath until you start coughing, for 5 minutes over that. It sounds like I’ve been chain-smoking for 30 years, though I’ve never touched a cigarette. That can’t be good.
This whole reaction has been hilarious, but that line really got me.
Hahaha hey glad to be of service!! Thanks so much for checking out the video and commenting. I LOVE getting in laughing fits like that.
John Carpenter never intended there to be a sequel. The ending is the full "reveal" that everything Loomis had been saying, that he was not a man, but an embodiment of evil itself, was true. Obviously, no man could survive 6 shots to the chest and then a 20ft fall from a balcony and just get up and walk away. Once that was revealed, Carpenter just wanted to leave the audience with the idea that he could be out there anywhere and was unstoppable......the boogeyman.
Yeah, with regards to the sequels, I guess it's the age-old film argument of art vs. commerce. With commercial success comes studios begging you to do more.
Right? He didn't want to tell the same story over and over. He tried making Halloween into an anthology series, but people just wanted Michael Myers.
In the book it explains that Micheal is actually a dark Celtic spirit or demon, which is why he can never be killed : )
Came here to say this. The sequel, which picks up literally the moment the first ends, was never planned. But unfortunately for John Carpenter and Debra Hill (or fortunately for their careers), this became the most profitable indie movie ever made. Carpenter got drunk and wrote Halloween II in a single night just to satisfy producer Irwin Yablans. After the financial failure of The Fog, he felt the need to make something more universally appealing, so it's gory and awfuil. While I've seen all the sequels, the only one I come back to is the original.
@@swansong487 Now THAT is a story. Thank you for sharing this!
"Break the glass, Activia!" Hilarious! You should watch the new storyline, Halloween 2018, Halloween Kills, and when it's released, Halloween Ends.
Thank you!! And ohhhhhhh yes. I have actually seen the newer ones already, along with H20 (I know, random) and I am really excited about Halloween Ends!
I am so glad I discovered your channel. Just subscribed. You are hilarious and I love the reactions. And how cool your had “weirdness” going on at your own house. I want to be front and center if your own candle ever lights. Please react to The Thing. One of my favorite movies of all time. I really believe you would like it.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that. Yeah you are in good company with The Thing- it's now on my list for next week after Friday the 13th (next up) and Conjuring.
My favorite scary movie. It’s simple, not gory, but scary AF with the shots of him in the window or background - we know Michael is there when the characters do not. Always loved that and watch it almost every year.
Thank you! Yes to ALL of this. I did not expect to become such a fan of this series, but it won me over! My Halloween 4 reaction is going up in about 30 min. Check it out if you are interested :)
Well to be fair the sheriff was there too. He didn't notice that lol. Was that there the whole time. Is Tommy's house that close to the Myers house. So was Loomis sitting there hearing Annie honking the horn over and over and didn't want to check it out. Just figured dang kids lol.
Exaaaaaaaaactly. That's exactly what I wast thinking too.
Definitly a Chip and Joanna project, i love that show, lol!
Yes "the thing" is worth watching, and this was before carpenter did his remake so the version playing is actually the original
Yeah, it's on the list. I've heard good "things" about it. buhdumbump (literally the worst joke I've made all day. probably all week.)
@@DavidvsFilm bad jokes can still be funny, even if they make you cringe first :D
@@DavidvsFilm still love that that sound is called a "rimshot" xD
“Not too bad of stuff happenes in Illinois.” HAHAHAHA
Yeah, so I was wrong.... lol
So happy you enjoyed the film because a lot of people don't get that the cool part is the "averageness" of it. Like it could be happening to you/people you know. (You might like Phantasm for the same reason.) I also love your asides, "nothing to do with the movie but that's a pretty tree." Hubby and I are hooked on your reactions.
Thank you so much, Teddi!! I have no idea what I'm doing half the time, but I'm having fun watching all these movies haha. This one was really enjoyable to me, definitely one of my favorites I've seen so far. Honestly, these have made me regret being afraid to watch scary movies for so long.
And I really appreciate you guys checking out my videos. I jotted down Phantasm, but let me know if there are any others you and your hubby recommend that I should watch!
Loved your analysis, I love this movie , always have done , your wonderful review added a great spin to a movie classic, thank you from UK 🇬🇧😀
That warms my heart to hear! I appreciate the kind words. Yeah, I have to say it really blew me away with how great it ended up being. I really enjoyed it quite a bit. Looking forward to more of these movies ramping up to Halloween (the holiday).
@@DavidvsFilm great to get your reply , thank you . My faves are Halloween '78 , Halloween 2, Halloween H20 and Halloween 2018. I hope to catch more of your reviews, we loved sharing your scares and funny moments.🙂
Funny you said, William Shatner. That is a mask of his face.
people see him walking around the neighborhood, but they dont mind because hes doing their laundry, watering their lawns, washing their cars and lighting their bbq pits
Lol!! He truly is a killer neighbor. The HOA just looks the other way.
I like your blue lighting in the background. Very Italian horror/"HalloweeN."
Thank you so much, Brian! I have wondered whether it looked ok, so that’s good to hear. Many thanks!
Newly subscribed to your channel loved ur reaction to this movie I love ur energy hope everyone has a great day or night
Thank you!!!
@@DavidvsFilm ur welcome
That was debra hills hand that grabbed the knife.
Whaaaaaaat???? Man I am learning so much from the comments here. I know I watched some kind of special or doc on either this movie or horror movies in general, but I need to find one specifically for Halloween. Sounds like there are a lot of really cool trivia tidbits.
I watch a lot of 1st time reactions for this film and everybody always has a similar reaction to you,they love and deservedly so...this is the movie that started it all(slashers)
Movie budget was $325,000, 25K went to Pleasance, and HALF of the 300K went to cameras and lenses. This is also the first movie to use the steadicam.
Oh really?? Thank you for sharing this, I had no idea. Though I can believe it with regards to the price of cameras and lenses- they're so expensive!!
This guy has IT whatever IT is he has it
Subscribed! 🎃🦇
Thank you so much!! I appreciate that more than you know. -David
@Marc and David that’s cool man!
Believe me I see and appreciate the need to entertain! Keep it awesome!
Josh Hartnett and his haircut made me laugh. I used to love him. Anyway....great reaction!
Thank you!!!!
It's one thing Dr. Loomis didn't see the station wagon but what does that say for Sheriff Bracket who JUST came to check on him? He must have been too busy jump scaring people in the neighborhood and even HE missed the car parked 20 feet away lol🤔🤓🙈
Interesting that they are watching "The Thing" on TV during this - Carpenter went on to do the remake of this in 1982 with Kurt Russell.
Yes I just watched The Thing most recently, and I had NO IDEA!! I love little Easter eggs like that. I really appreciate your comment and you watching my little video. Thanks!
My all time favorite horror film! This and Halloween 2 make you appreciate Laurie's absolute bad ass character in H20 when she calls out the shape... Epic!
Oh I will definitely be watching this every year now. And I am going to do Halloween II next week I think. :)
@@DavidvsFilm Great Idea. I know the new movie Halloween Kills (2021) is coming out, and a lot of people are watching the original Halloween and then skipping to Halloween (2018) but I consider Halloween II (1981) superior to that 2018 movie in pretty much every way.
Hahahahah “ As I got older and died inside more” 🤣😂✔️
I mean just a little. I still like puppies and ice cream haha
He's doing like Loomis said to nurse. Wait!
Guerilla film making at its best, if i remember right it was filmed in 23 days. To make california to look like illinos they hay had 4 large bags of leaves to make it look like the fall. after each take the cast and crew had to get all the leaves up for the next shot!
I am a total nerd for any and all "behind the scenes" knowledge, so I appreciate this, Donald! Thanks
I just love Halloween! I left a comment before, but I will also say this: I’m just now noticing your shirt and is it in reference to Tyler Posey? 😂😂😂❤
Yes, actually! He did a fundraiser for cancer a few years ago, and that was the gift he sent if you donated.
It’s one of the all time great’s, but idk why anyone would be scared by this film.
Oh Chet, if only you knew me and my low threshold for being scared by horror movies..
Honestly though, I ended up not being as scared as I thought I would be, and more so really enjoyed it. This made a Halloween fan out of me.
Fear, like humor, is subjective and personal. To me this is the scariest movie ever made, I just laugh at other "scary movies" but this one still gets me.
You are better then me. I get scared just hearing the music. lol So I can't watch but I love watching you. :)
Vickie!! Aww I love you chica!! Yeah, I was always so scared to watch ANY OF THESE. But I am actually really enjoying now. And I'm only on like one anxiety pill! lol
I miss seeing you, and I hope you are doing well, friend!!
Loving your reactions! You are hilarious… ACTIVIA 🤣
Thank you so much :)
18:22 as might well be someone outside of your house carrying a corpse and you do not even notice that... simple as that.
Well goddamn Edgar, now you got me worried there's someone outside my house with a corpse. Thanks for that! :)
I’m glad you mentioned it not making sense for a student to be driving a police car because what sense would that make lyndia?
Haha for real. Thanks for the comment!
Watch it alone in the dark. It's unsettling.
Do you want me to have a heart attack? lol
I still wonder why Michael Myers was listed as "The Shape" in the credits.
That’s a good question. Maybe like a nickname, or how he was originally called in the script, etc? I think that’s sometimes the reason- especially in first films.
He was called the shape in the script cause that's all you see of him in most of the movie.
@@Jayskiallthewayski thanks
Great reaction! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
You need to watch "Tucker and Dale v's Evil" You will love it.
I don't know that one! Is it a funny/scary?
This movie has always been my favorite. 🦇🕸🎃
You know what? I ended up loving this movie so much that it’s now the only one I regularly still search for reactions of. ♥️
@@DavidvsFilm every Halloween me and my kids have a scary movie night. Pizza, candy, and the first movie we watch is always Halloween. I own the whole set.
@@SarahMBreaux pizza candy and Halloween on Halloween?? Send me the address lol.
Definitely watch "The Thing." Original is so good.
I’m just now going through some of your older reactions, I didn’t see this OR the sequel on your page! Have you watched Halloween Kills yet?! Kyle reprises her role! She’s in it for quite a bit!
Ohhhh yes. I have seen them now, but at the time I hadn’t. Kyle did pretty good, actually! I was surprised/impressed. Then, tipsy and against my better judgment, I watched a Christmas movie also with Kyle and Marie from Breaking Bad (if you’ve watched that show), and liked her in that too! Either she’s getting better or my standards are falling fast.
You gotta do Black Christmas (1974) next!!! Please????
Hi Lucas! That's a popular one, isn't it? Why? I mean I'm down, don't get me wrong, because it has a lot of people I like in it, but why do you recommend it?
@@DavidvsFilm it's the mother of all the slashers from the eighties. It's not gory, it's creepy as hell. It has great acting and characteres. John Carpenter was a friend of this movie's director (Bob Clark) and asked him if he was thinking of doing a sequel. Clark said he didn't want to do a sequel but if there was one the killer would attack in a different holliday. Carpenter took this words , gave the killer a different personalitie, and Halloween was born.
I love Black Christmas. I watched it not too long ago for the first time, and it was the first horror movie to scare me in a long time.
I've seen a few people kinda mock, laugh at, or question the scene of Michael revealing himself to Lynda with the sheet and glasses over his head. And I think that scene is very misunderstood. It wasn't some goofy comic relief, or some insight into Michael taking pleasure from messing with people. It was more of the film's attention to practicality and detail. Michael had no real way of getting into the bedroom without Lynda freaking out. If she freaks out she makes noise, which draws unwanted attention and Michael already risked that with Annie in the car using her horn. So Michael threw on the sheet to obscure his appearance, and added Bob's glasses for the disguise, and that made Lynda drop her guard and let Michael get close.
Even though Lynda was thoroughly freaked out by the way "Bob" was acting just standing and staring at her. And actress PJ Soles did a pretty good job at selling that uncomfortability.
Y'know, I've surprisingly never thought of it that way before. And it DOES make a lot of sense.
One thing that people often miss about Michael is that he is very intelligent, especially compared to other slashers. He's also observant. He's always watching and listening. It makes him that much scarier...
I had never thought of it that way, but now I will never see it the same way again. That is a great, great point.
GOD. YES. And also his calm demeanor and understanding of his prey is why he can just walk at a steady pace and still catch them every time.
It's also a call back to his first kill - his sister. He wore a costume when he killed her as well (and both were topless at the time he killed them).
I'd love to see Michael pov in this especially at parts we don't see him like the station wagon was by Tommy's house buy then Loomis sees it down street of Myers house so he must have moved it why so lookis would come looking for him lol. Leaving him bread crumbs to come after him lol
(Halloween 1978 ) locking reiew good like me 10/10
Thank you so much!
My all time favorite horror movie. Have seen it at last a 100x over the years. But the scene where he sits straight up over her shoulder still gets me. Would have to have some good abs to do that. I'm like a turtle on it's back trying to set up.. 😏
I love the Rob Zombie's version of the Halloween movie it's from Michael Myers side more of his life was up and afterwards what happened to him
What mic do you use?
It's this one: Samson Technologies Q2U USB/XLR Dynamic Microphone.
Oh God why- does it sound ok?
@@DavidvsFilm nah it sounds really good actually just doing some research to start my own movie reaction channel👍🏽
Oh good, whew! Yeah, so let me tell you how I arrived at this one.. First of all, until I knew if I was going to like doing this, I wasn't going to be spending a lot of money. I did a little research and learned about the dynamic vs the condenser mic, and I figured the dynamic was the way to go for me and my purposes. I also wanted to started with USB, because I could plug it directly into my iPhone (which is what I used to record the video, btw). I tried the Blue Yeti snowball one, the Blue Yeti bigger one for around $120, and this Samson. The Samson by far was the best sounding to me- AND it was a decent price at $60 (with a coupon on Amazon at the time) for the quality. Highly recommend.
Sorry, I know that was long, but I had to research a lot of sh*t, so I thought I'd try to help as much as possible lol.
@@DavidvsFilm you use a iPhone to record? It looks SO good😐 for an iPhone video but thanks I really didn’t even wanna buy a camera
you want a jump scare movie to react to watch the Lazarus Effect i saw it when it first came out at the cinema with a friend she was got scared but not me I love horror movies
Thanks so much! Writing it down :)
@@DavidvsFilm You're very welcome hope you enjoy the movie
You should react to Slither, its a horror comedy, directed by James Gunn, who directed both guardians of the galaxy movies and the latest suicide squad movie, starinng Nathan Fillion, from Firefly, Castle and the suicide squad, funny!
Really? I didn't know he did that! Yeah, I'm familiar with James of course (love his take on material) and his brother too, and I've seen Nathan Fillion in several things. BUT I've never seen Firefly, Castle or any of the Suicide Squads. All are on my list to watch one day (though Castle is further down- not bc of quality, but bc there a quite a few season if I recall)
People were more scared back in the 70s with the exorcist because people were more religious but now religion has almost disappeared and this is why people don’t flinch at sinful things like rape and murder anymore…I love Halloween and Halloween 🎃 2 because they are story driven not just how much gore can we throw at you like now. The 70s and 80s were great at stories and if you just set back and have fun and lose yourself in the movie and not try and pick it apart you will have a good time.. Movies like caddy shack and police academy and Porkys and revenge of the nerds and poltergeist were made for you to escape your troubles at home and just have a good time…Two more good ones by John Carpenter are They Live and Escape From New York they are must see movies 🎥….P.S I absolutely love your clock 🕰 on the wall you got there….
I love and agree with everything in your comments. So, so true. With regards to the angle on the exorcist, that's a great point you make about considering the era and where the country/movies were at the time. I should have thought of it that way- thank you!
And thanks for your compliment about the clock! I picked it up at a yard sale. It doesn't work, and I need to fix it, but in the meantime I just set it to 11:18- my anniversary so I wouldn't forget lol
Opening shot.
Yes! And so well done.
Original The Thing
I'd say just skip the old Halloween 2 and just watch the remake Halloween 2018 since that's the story they're continuing
Yeah, I want to actually watch all of them now. And I really want to see the new one about to come out, so I'll need to watch 2018 prior to that.
@@DavidvsFilm the original story is kinda silly honestly
They finished up fast like in flatliners. One second they having sex and mom hitting on dkor. Next second mom about to come in and dudes right there fully dressed and leaving. At least this guy still putting on shirt. Dang that was fast lol.
Hahahahahaha
Be sure. To do Halloween 2 reaction
Oh for sure I want to! I loved Halloween.
John Carpenters The Thing is great.
I don’t know if anybody told you but 2 starts off from part 1. Part 3 has nothing to do with the franchise as they were going to start making every Halloween 🎃 movie story different after that kinda like the twilight zone or creep show but when 3 came out and people saw it they were like what the H E double hockey stick 🏒 is this ..Even thought the film is just ok and jamie lee Curtis does the voice over the speakers people were sorely disappointed 😢 and demanded that Micheal return and when they so the box office intake they immediately agreed so every since then they have been trying to catch the lightning ⚡️ in the bottle again with it … Now you got Halloween 🎃 Kills out and they really thought they had something but I’m very let down by it after all the hype..I give it a 5 out 10…. But u should watch it for the heck of it…….
I am excited to watch Part 2 actually. And I will probably watch that in the next couple of days. The only other Halloween I had seen at the time of watching the original in this video was H20. Since then, I have watched Halloween 2018 and I JUST watched Halloween Kills the other day. I completely agree with you. I understand that this was the second in a three-part offering, so my guess is that this one was dedicated to the "town" and their grievances, and the next one will be more Laurie vs. Micahel, and the legacy passed down to her granddaughter maybe? What do you think?
He'll yeah this is scarier than exorcist lol. The only thing that could be scary about exorcist is about demons floating around ready to possess you or influence you I guess wonder if Regan didn't play with wigi board if it'd still come after her lol. But that whole thing about demons automatically makes me think of Halloween Is that what happened to Michael either demon or spirit or something that's why Debra and John liked the idea of Setting this on Halloween the one night of the year where the veil is thinnest and spirits can crossover to our world and possess people lol. And the line in this about this kind of thing happens in every town makes me think of exorcist and really any other horror movie but even if it don't still make me think of demons or something out there possessing or influence people to kill their families or friends or random people lol. That's crazy every town has that lol these demons or things is basically playing GTA or some kind of game and were the avatars or characters you can play as run around do bad stuff have fun if they die so what just go to next person and do more bad stuff lol. That's easy to believe lol
Halloween is the best serial killer series.
Watch Attack the Block.
Agreed, and thanks, I'll check it out.
Oh hey did you watch the recent Harry Potter reactions? I tried to curb back the spoilers per your notes on the older ones ;)
Hope you're doing well.
@@DavidvsFilm yeah I've been keeping up. You'd be surprised how many movie reaction channels barely pay attention. You guys are among the best currently watching it.
Attack the block is a little obscure but it's really good. The great wall with matt damon is also a great monster/horror genre film. Others would be Lost in translation, dazed and confused, almost famous. Just a few suggestions of great movies hardly anyone reacts to, but I know you probably have polls or something.
@@apatternedhorizon Sometimes I’ll do polls, rarely, mostly I just rely on recommendations, then weigh those against what I haven’t seen/want to see. Attack the Block is a new one to me, and I forgot about Great Wall, never saw it, so thank you for those (noted). Lost in Translation was great and I love Almost Famous (and speaking of Almost Famous, even Elizabethtown is another of Crowe’s I actually like quite a bit). But nothing on your list touches Dazed and Confused. To this day, that movie still holds the record for the movie I’ve watched the most. I could probably quote every line, and the music- my God.
@@DavidvsFilm same, I've literally seen it at least 400 times. Well i know you've got good movie taste if you're familiar with most of those. Empire Records?
Exorcist wasn't scary, it was gross.
Yeah I gotta say- just personally- I enjoyed Halloween more than Exorcist.
What was really gross was the original movie "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" in 1974.
@@ccjjpp1966 Uh yeah, that’s advanced level. I won’t be going near that movie for good while lol
Very good reaction man, BTW if you want to see the sequels, PLEASE watch the TV Cut of "Halloween 2 (1981)", since it's the version that's closer to what the director wanted to show to the audience back then until John Carpenter decided to change the script.
Awesome advice, thank you!
@@DavidvsFilm You're welcome.
He'll yeah scarier than exorcist lol just a vulgar little girl that stays in her room vs a boogeyman that can be anywhere and goes after anybody lol. I don't live in Georgetown so don't have to worry about that girl don't live in Haddon field either but he can be anywhere or go anywhere not necessarily just in Haddon field either him or something like him lol. Evil people everywhere lol.
That Activia joke was funny until you over used it... now it´s annoying.
I know, I know! It just got stuck in my head, and then it's all I could think when I saw her. You are right though!
Don't watch the remake of the Thing, is awful. Look the Carpenter version of it. It's amazing.
Thanks Juan! I watched the original Carpenter Thing and have a video up on it, if you are interested. It was awesome and I loved it! I was rooting for the dog in the beginning, until, well, yeah..
I haven’t seen the remake (sequel? prequel?) yet, but you vote No on that one, huh?
@@DavidvsFilm Thank you for the response. I'm so honor by it. The "new" Thing is supposed to be a prequel of the Carpenter version, but everyone is dumb there and the Thing is full CG and it behave nothing like the Carpenter one, kind of dumb as well. But I would love to see your thoughts on that and compare the 2 films. Thanks again for your content, keep it going!!!
@@jpbenavides4969 Hey the honor is mine- I appreciate you watching and offering your comments. There are so many great movies I haven’t seen, and I definitely would like to do exactly what you said- watch the newer one and then give a comparison. I think it would be fun, and you’ll have to be sure to watch it when I do, Juan! :)
