You're in the right place, my friend! The original 1978 Halloween I can watch every month of every year and NEVER get tired of it, ever. It's just one of those films that no matter what type of mood you're in, you can always throw on Halloween and enjoy just an absolute classic that will never burn out or fade away.
As for my top 5, it is:
1) The Evil Dead (1981)
2) Halloween (1978)
3) Phantasm (1979)
4) Hellraiser (1987)
5) Alien (1979)
Top 3 has been concrete with me for many years, however #4 and #5 have interchanged throughout time.
My Top 5 are
Suspiria (Argento)
Texas Chain Saw Massacre (Hooper)
Don't Look Now (Roeg)
Halloween (Carpenter)
The Brood (Cronenberg)
I love the original Halloween the most,of course. But I just rewatched Rob Zombie's Halloween II and really enjoy his raw and different approach even if most fans will wildy disagree :) Like his two chapters a lot more than the new but lacking trilogy.
1. The Thing (Carpenter)
2. Fright Night (Tom Holland)
3. My Bloody Valentine (George Mihalka)
4. Black Christmas (Bob Clark)
5. Nightmare on Elm Street (Wes Craven)
Welcome! You are In good company here. The Original Halloween is an absolute classic and is one of the most atmospheric films made. In some ways I enjoy Halloween II as much if not more so.
Yeeesss, that's exactly how I feel about the original Halloween, it's timeless.
Phantasm never watched it & I'm not a hellraiser fan AT ALL 😂🤣... please don't hate me, lol.
I see they have a new game for Hellraiser, are you also a gamer? If so do you plan on playing it?
Can't go wrong with "The Thing" either.
As for Freddy I begged my mother when I was 8 years old (1990) to let me be him for Halloween, she tried to convince me on the Wonder Woman costume in the store 🤣😂... but I won the parent vs child battle & she brought me the costume. 😁
