Halloween: The Greatest Horror Film of All Time

John Carpenter's Halloween was released in 1978 to little fanfare. However, due to word of mouth, the film went on to tremendous success. In this video I offer my views as to why this happened and what makes the film so good.

The keys to the film's appeal are related to the low budget, the two lead actors and their characters, and the anti-character of Michael Myers.

In this video, I cover the actors, actresses, writing, directing, box office success, and legacy of the original Halloween film.
