the original "Halloween" = BORING!
 
By my opinion the original halloween was boring because it had a low body count and no thrills. A terrible movie. however the sequel is thrilling and way better. Who agrees?

Body count is in no way a gauge to measure the quality of a movie.

body count is part of the thrills and he killed like 4 people.

So since that entire colony of people were killed in Jason X it's the most thrilling movie ever?

I do prefer the sequel especially for it's relentless pacing. That film is fucking menacing and I rate it highly. Makes a great back to back double feature with the original which I personally don't find boring.

What it lacks (really, it doesn't lack in the department since the final tally of the body count matters absolutely 0%) it more than makes up for in atmosphere, suspense, and plain awesomeness. Now it may have been ruined for you after exposure to the subsequent slasher films with more bodies than cast members and films trying to juice up Halloween's formula, but for others it's an entirely different case. While I obviously wasn't around to see Halloween during it's original release it is the first movie I have any memory of watching. But if you think it's boring then you think it's boring and there's no changing that. Though I don't think you'll find many people who will agree with you on this forum.

The first one is the best one. A classic. The others are pretty much junk after 3. My personal favorite is 3, But i watch 1 to and 3. It is not boring though. That is the thing about these new movies. Everyone has ADD so bad they have to have brgining to end jam pack action or else it is "boring". THese kids cant sit through a good old horror. YOu should try to watch some old Bela Legosi. or Boris Karloff.

If Halloween is boring to him Lugosi and Karloff would be a chore at the very least.

Nah, not boring at all to me. Saw it as kid on it's original release and it scared the crap out of me. Still a good flick today.

One of the classics, so....not to me.
