Duke's Monsterween: Halloween

Hello, I'm Andrew Leduc And Welcome To Duke Reviews Where We Are Continuing Duke's Monsterween...

Where This Week We Are Looking At John Carpenter's Classic Slasher Movie, Halloween...

This Film Sees An Escaped Mental Patient Named Michael Myers Returning To His Hometown Of Haddonfield, Illinois To Kill Teens (One Of Them Being Laurie Strode Played By Jamie Lee Curtis) On Halloween Night...

We'll Be Looking At 3 Movies From This Series Every Monsterween Until We Run Out...

There Will Also Be A 2 Exceptions From These Reviews 1. I Will Not Be Looking At Halloween 3, It Doesn't Have Michael Myers In It And It's In A Different Timeline, So It's Not Worth My Time...

And 2, I Will Not Be Looking At The Rob Zombie Remakes Because Rob Zombie's Movies Are Nothing But Garbage And He Is As Bad Of A Filmmaker As Uwe Boll Or Ralph Bakshi...

So, With That Said, Let's Dive Into John Carpenter's Halloween...

The Film Starts With A Flashback Years Earlier Where We See A Young Michael Myers Murder His Sister, Judith Naked In Her Bedroom After Having Sex With Her Boyfriend On Halloween Night...

Years Later In 1978, Michael Is Being Transferred To Smith's Grove Sanitarium By A Nurse Named Marian Chambers And His Doctor/Psychologist, Samuel Loomis (Played By Donald Pleasence)...

But When A Breakout Happens At The Sanitarium, Michael Attacks Marian In The Car, She Escapes But In Doing So, Michael Steals The Van And Gets Away...

Cutting To The Next Day In Haddonfield, Illinois We Meet Laurie Strode, Played By Jamie Lee Curtis Talks With A Kid She's Babysitting On Halloween Night, Tommy Doyle...

Who Will Be Played By Ant-Man In Another Movie...

And Is Afraid To Go Near The Myers House Because It Is Supposedly Haunted But Either Way, Laurie's Dad Is Selling The Place So, She Leaves A Key For Him There, Not Knowing That Someone Is Inside The Myers House Watching Her...

And Not Just There But While She's In Class Too..

Telling Her Friends, Annie Brackett And Lynda Van Der Klok About This, They Just Either Dismiss It Or Make Fun Of It In Annie's Case...

Meanwhile, Dr. Loomis Talks With A Colleague Of His Named Dr. Wynn (Who Will Be More Prominent In The 6th Film) Before Driving Off To Go Look For Michael...

While Driving, Loomis Discovers A Repair Truck With A Dead Mechanic Who Michael Stole Clothes From...

This Leads To A Bunch Of Scenes That Are Just...

youtube

Filler, Fake Scares Or Michael Stalking Laurie Before Loomis Arrives In Haddonfield To Discover That Michael Has Stolen His Sister Judith's Gravestone, Proving That Michael's Home...

Meeting With Sheriff Brackett, They Head To The Myers House Which Leads To One Of The Best Quotes Of This Entire Movie...

youtube

(Start At 2:43, End At 3:11)

With Brackett Still Doubtful Of Michael's Danger, He Patrols The Streets While Loomis Stays At The House, To Wait For Michael To Return...

But At That Same Time, Laurie Is Babysitting Tommy Doyle While Annie Babysits Lindsey Wallace Which Leads To More Filler And Michael Stalking Annie...

But Eventually When Annie Puts On Another Pair Of Clothes After An Accident, Michael Is Caught By The Wallace's Dog Lester, Which Leads To Michael Killing Him

Chill, PETA, Chill! I Don't Think They Actually Killed A Dog!

But One Will Say Is That, I Agree With Monstervision Movie Host Joe Bob Briggs When He Talked About Another Dog Killing In Friday The 13th Part 2 That "You Can Kill As Many People As You Want To In A Film Like This, But You Should Never Kill A Pet As It Will Only Upset People"

And All I Can Say Is, You're Speaking To The Choir, Joe Bob, You're Speaking To The Choir...

After That Annie Gets A Phone Call From Her Boyfriend Paul Saying That His Parents Are Gone, So Seeing That As An Opportunity To Get Some, She Drops Lindsey Off With Laurie And Goes To Take Off...

But When She Goes To Start The Car, Michael's There Waiting To Kill Her By Strangulation Before Ending It By Slicing Her Throat...

As Michael Carries Annie's Lifeless Corpse Into The Wallace House, We Get A Sort Of Funny Moment When Loomis Scares Some Kids Away From The Myers House...

It's Nice To See A Little Humor In Serious Character Like Loomis...

Before Lynda Visits The Wallace House With Her Boyfriend Bob, But Discovering That The House Is Empty And That Lindsey Is With Laurie, They Go Upstairs To Pork Each Other...

Where Afterwards Bob Goes To Get A Beer And Says 4 Words No One Should Ever Say In A Horror Movie "I'll Be Right Back"

youtube

(Start At 1:23, End At 1:34)

Only To Be Killed By Michael Who Stabs Bob And Leaves Him To Hang Only So Michael Can Play Dress Up For Lynda So We Get The Hottest Scene In This Movie...

In Fact, When Actress PJ Soles (Lynda) Saw This Movie For The First Time At The Egyptian Theatre And This Scene Happened, The Person Behind Her Yelled "Hot Damn! You Bet Your Ass I Do!"

youtube

And To That Person Whoever It Was, I Salute You, Sir...

Not Liking The Fact That Bob Is Saying Nothing, Lynda Goes To Call Laurie Only To Be Strangled To Death By Michael As Laurie Hears Over The Phone...

As Loomis Notices Nurse Chambers Van Is Parked Across The Street, Laurie Goes Across The Street To The Wallace House To Discover The Dead Bodies Of Annie, Lynda And Bob Which Leads To Laurie's First Confrontation With Michael...

youtube

(Start At 1:24)

Once Inside The Doyle House, Laurie Orders The Kids To Lock Themselves In The Closet While She Deals With Michael, She Manages To Incapacitate Him With A Needle But Not For Long But It Was Long Enough Time To Tell The Kids To Get Help...

Reawakening, Michael Chases Laurie Upstairs Where She Attempts To Hide In A Bedroom Closet, Using A Wire Hanger As A Weapon, Laurie Stabs Michael And Grabs His Knife To Supposedly Kill Him, But Despite That, Michael Is Still Alive.,,

Seeing Tommy And Lindsey Running Out Of The House, Loomis Goes To Investigate While Michael Strangles Laurie Who Removes Michael's Mask Causing Him To Let Go To Find A New Mask...

This Gives Loomis Enough Time To Shoot Him Six Times, Causing Michael To Go Over The Balcony To His Supposed Death...

But When Loomis Looks Over The Balcony, Michael Is Gone As Laurie Begins To Win With Michael's Ominous Breathing Being Heard Over A Montage Of Locations...

And That's Halloween, One Of The First Slasher Movies Ever And It's Okay...

Don't Get Me Wrong, It's Good Film, But All The Exposition, Filler, Fake Scares And Scenes Of Michael Stalking Various People Can Get Boring To The Point You Just Want The Killing To Begin...

Some People See It As Creating Atmosphere And Making Us Care About These Characters...

But Despite Me Agreeing With The Creating Atmosphere Thing, Why Should We Give A Damn About These Characters When They're Basically Lambs To The Slaughter?...

Yes, I Liked Lynda But I Didn't Care For Her Because I Knew One Way Or Another She'd End Up Dead...

And The Sooner Writers Realize That And The Fact That Not Every Horror Needs To Be Over The Top With Blood And Guts The Better Horror Movies Will Be...

But Despite That, I Did Enjoy The Movie And I Do Say See It...

Till Next Time, This Is Duke, Signing Off...
