The Terminator is another old film that despite the (now) cheesy special effects I find still an amazing film. Halloween , for me, gets more retarded to me with age.
As far as my John Carpenter comment, if it doesn't fit you, so be it. But there are more than a few people out there go see, rent, buy whatever films he's involded with. I mean, there are people that seriously think films like Vampires, Prince of Darkness, and Ghosts of Mars are good films. Are you kidding me?

True the films you mentioned suck but Halloween doesn't and regardless of how effective it is today it's still a good movie. Everybody is desensitised these days that's why some of the older films that scared the hell out of people back then don't today.
Psycho for example was the first of its kind and back then people had never seen anything like it and it scared the hell out of 'em but if you show it to someone today there's a 98 percent chance it wont do a thing for 'em.
