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.
