Halloween

Michael Myers transcends. He starts off as a creep in a mask. We laugh along with the dispensable characters at how he just stands around and stares. Loomis is our canary, chirping his head off and telling us it’s not nearly so funny as it looks. By the halfway mark Michael Myers is every shadow, every corner, and every doorway. By the film’s end he’s in every house on every street in middle America. Can you still hear him breathing too?
