Understandable. But how does that movie seem to you now? The original Alien movie is much the same. Nothing like it before which made it scary as hell. But when I watch Alien today I still find it a great movie, even though it is quite old now. 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.
Halloween seems like a great movie to me now. I appreciate the atmosphere which age does not take away. The score still kicks ass. Donald Pleasance kicks ass. I enjoy watching it, because it's masterful filmmaking on a small budget. Same reason I still watch Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Shining. I've been watching each of these for over 20 years, and they're all among my favorite movies. There's a reason these are deemed classics-because they remain effective decades after they were made.

By the way, Prince Of Darkness is a good movie. Not great, but good.
