To be totally honest, I found it somewhat dull on my first viewing too...but I was probably around 12-13, just a budding horror fan and didn't want anything but blood, guts, tits and scares. When thats all you're looking for in a movie, something as smart, tense and subtle as Halloween can seem "boring" for sure.
I revisited it a few years later, once I was able to appreciate the finer parts of film making, and obviously I started to see it for the masterpiece that it is. Give it a couple years Zack...hopefully you'll get it eventually.
