Here's Nick Castle, the actor that played Michael Myers. Look at those crazy looking eyes. He even looks scary without the mask.

That busted crazy face and that nose.

The dick's prolly nice.

Did anyone see the Rob Zombie version of "Halloween" a few years ago?

I thought it was a great movie and storyline if it just wasn't intended to be "Halloween". I loved the idea of going back and seeing Michael Myers' childhood and how he evolved into a serial killer but I didn't like that it didn't stay true to the original. Michael Myers began his killing spree in 1978 but yet the childhood Michael Myers wore a KISS T-Shirt. A childhood Michael Myers would have grown up in the 1960s and KISS didn't come out until the 1970s. Then there was his mother that was a stripper and his father that was an unemployed redneck asshole. The Myers family lived in a middle class neighborhood and the mother and father in the remake belonged in a trailer park because they could never afford a two story house in a middle class neighborhood. I did enjoy the storyline though and found it very interesting but I just didn't like that it was not true to the original "Halloween". And when it got to the part where Michael Myers was grown and going on his killing spree, I got bored with it because it was no longer new storyline and entered "remake" territory that was altered.

I liked the remake... because well as i mentioned before. When there is the fear i mentioned of someone being stronger then me... in the remake Michael may have been less believable.

But got damn he was a roid raggin bitch , The one rz REMAKE WAS NO QUEEN. He was all fuck em up & leave them bloody as hell.. more then stalk & strangle.

This mike was stealing wigs & scalps

The sequel to the remake... i get what zombie was doing but it was a fucking mess

"Halloween" is definitely the scariest movie of all time because it could be real. I've never been scared of things like witches, ghosts, vampires, goblins, zombies, etc. because I know that those things aren't real. But a psycho killer who escapes from a mental hospital and goes on a killing spree could definitely happen. Also, I grew up in a suburb town five minutes away from Jackson and Whitfield, the state mental hospital, is located on the outskirts of that town which made "Halloween" even more scarier. I've had friends who lived out in the country on the outskirts of town near Whitfield and they said many times, somehow some of the patients used to get loose from those grounds and end up walking down the streets of their neighborhood wearing those white gowns. As my grandmother used to say..."Ooooo, just the thought of that gives me the willies".

"Halloween" used to scare me so much, I would be scared when I was home alone. You know how you lie to your mother some mornings and tell her you're sick so you can stay home from school? That means you're at home all day alone while everyone else is either at school or at work and as soon as she leaves, you get your ass out of bed and turn on the TV. On those days, I would think I heard noises in the house or footsteps. If the air conditioner simply kicked on, I'd jump out of my skin. Just even the little slightest unexpected noise would shoot terror through me. Hell, even as an adult the movie still gets to me sometimes. I watched it just last week and before I went to bed, I ended up checking all the closets and looking in the bathtub behind the shower curtain, etc., just anywhere where someone could be hiding in the apartment to make sure no one was there. That's a damn good scary movie to have an effect on someone like that.

It's amazing how simple a story the original was... did you see the sequels?

Eventually he went to chase his niece which is cool, but then it went on to Michael is part of some cult that controls him every halloween... and the cult he is forced to kill all his family.

And he is controlled by these spiritual rocks

I've never seen Psycho....and i watched Halloween like 2 hours ago...i love the movie...always have but I wouldnt say that its scary.. I mean it has its creepy moments..like when he pops up everywhere...its crazy but exciting, because when the victim runs or hides or whatever and he's already there...i mean tallk about weird...

Freddie Kruger is the one that scares me....Jason is lame.....but Freddie is super freaky..i swear.

Both films are excellent, but I prefer Halloween. I don't think either of them are scary, but then I don't think I consider any film to be scary. Some are gory, some are even unsettling to watch, but I can't recall ever being scared by a film.

yeah, if it was a different movie it would have been ok

it didn't have that stalker mysterious factor the original did

it was straight out bash slash and over the top, the rape scene in his psyc room,

In order to show who crazy he was he made the kid beat/bash splatter the person over and over and over, it wasn't even scary it was just like .. I don't know too much and bored me

the original you didn't even see blood

like you said the whole 'white trash' aspect was typical, so it turned me off immediately

like SPYZFAN1 said, there was something about the family being middleclass suburban made it work, the 'normal' factor made Michael more of a mystery to why he became like that

and of course the original touches on the 'druid' 'witch' factor, but i wish they would have just left the mystery, instead of the part 4s & 5s that had to go into that aspect

I think the mystery of it all is what made the original so good, sometimes adding too much backstory takes aways from it, too much explaining what's happening. Like in the Shining remake, the 1st one was a lot of silence, that's what made it creepy, not a lot of talking, definately no explain what why and how

4 me at least mystery is always the best factor

(I'm a big star wars fan and the origins of the Emperor & Yoda should always be a mystery it makes the character bigger more powerful, you can show glimpses of their past but don't go into the whole birth year who the parents were what they did in school etc)

That's one thing about Zombies movies i am like ''blah'' on that white trash shit worked in Devils Rejects... in fact it worked well.

In the halloween remakes it was not needed!, he puts like these redneck white trash characters in all his movies-_- and it gets annoying.

I'd be scared to mess with it. He looks like he would reach down and strangle you.

I've seen all of them except for Rob Zombie's "Halloween II". I don't remember about the cult though. Is that in the H20 one when Jamie Lee Curtis returns and is a teacher at a school? I recorded all of them off the TV one year when AMC had a marathon but they didn't play that one for some reason. I've seen it though, but only once.

psycho is scarier, imo. in hallowe'en, you can tell who the monster is, it's apparent right from the get-go. but in psycho, you have a crazy git passing for normal and you don't know he's sick until you get up close

I don't know I've always been intrigued by dudes that you have to think to yourself "hmm...if need be, can I make it from this couch to the front door in time??"

My older cousin Reena says Halloween is scary to her for the simple fact that it was the first horror film to get "real life" settings right. She says that in the late 70s, when Halloween was filmed, that is what neighborhoods looked like and that the house Laurie Strode babysat in was just like all other houses of the period. That is what scared her the most-it could have been YOUR house that shit went down in

I totally agree, something about the 1970's still being 'innocent'

I know houses like that everywhere and streets like those big streets with hedges and trees and

as the Dr said to the cop "Death has come to your little town..."

this movie always made it hard for me to sleep with closet doors open
