How many threads do you want us to ignore? It might be a good time to step back, take a breath, and THINK before you create a thread. I don't hate you-just some friendly advice.;)

To be totally honest, I found it somewhat dull on my first viewing too...but I was probably around 12-13, just a budding horror fan and didn't want anything but blood, guts, tits and scares. When thats all you're looking for in a movie, something as smart, tense and subtle as Halloween can seem "boring" for sure.

I revisited it a few years later, once I was able to appreciate the finer parts of film making, and obviously I started to see it for the masterpiece that it is. Give it a couple years Zack...hopefully you'll get it eventually.

Me say, NOT boring! Have MANY thrills. Film classic. Influenced modern horror. Many foolish ones criticize, but HALLOWEEN whumps all.

HALLOWEEN are happy :confused::confused::confused:

I agree....and banana are happy

THIS THREAD IS POO-NUTS

I'm actually with you. Loved this movie when I was younger. Watched it again recently and found it was quite boring to me. It doesn't take away for what it did for the genre at all. But I feel it doesn't hold up well. I did much prefer the sequel. I'm probably also in the minority of liking the remakes too.

It's the horror film that got me into horror films. I remember my older sister telling me about it once and I ended up having a nightmare about Michael Myers. I can't remember what I pictured him to look like, but it wasn't like the real thing! Then lo and behold, one week later it was on television. I put it on and I was absolutely enthralled the entire way through. I think I was around...9? Either way, I can endlessly re-watch it because whilst a lot of time is focussed more on normal life than the killings, I don't mind that, mainly because even through those scenes there's a certain unease, something which isn't quite right. This omnipresent figure who keep being spotted then disappearing.

I am a big fan of slow paced cinema (like anime for example) so I don't think Halloween is a boring movie. It's not one of my favorites and it doesn't scare me but it's definitely not boring.

not boring

Halloween was the movie that made me fall in love with horror. I was probably 10 when I first saw it and it scared the CRAP out of me. I've showed it to a lot of people over the years and some of them thought it was boring...I guess, to them, a movie needs to have expensive special effects and cheap scares to be "scary". I'll always love Halloween!
