I like Halloween. It mad egood use of atmosphere and tension, and although the story is lacking to the point of being almost not there, it was a good exmple of filmmaking. The second was more of the same, and a bit fun (and is tyied to some childhood memeories, so i like it too)

However, as has been stated, no story = bad movie. The reason many critics dont like horror is that they are just a series of events. there is no plot, no central driving motive, just some douche with a weapon knocking off attractive little child stars. This is the reason why a movie like Alien gets an oscar and friday the 13th gets treated like a retard in hockey mask.
