Halloween

“It was the Boogeyman.” “As a matter of fact, it was.” The final shots of the film never fail to give me chills down my spine. Michael Myers (The Shape) is such an opposing and terrifying figure throughout this film, his presence just fills the viewer with dread anytime he’s in frame: now that’s a masterclass in creating a villain. Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode is such a great final girl, she absolutely kills it in this role! I just love the score so much, it’s crazy to think that Carpenter wrote it in 3 days. And thus concludes Spooktober ‘23. It was a lot of fun trying to watch a film every day of this month, especially ones I haven’t seen yet. I might try doing this every year…
