Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Halloween is an absolutely merciless thriller, a movie so violent and scary that, yes, I would compare it to Psycho.
Fresh: Halloween remains untouched -- a modern classic of the most horrific kind.
Fresh: John Carpenter's 1978 tour de force, perhaps the most widely imitated film of the 70s.
Fresh: Well worth another look on the big screen.

The Greatest Horror movie of all time
This is hands down the best horror film ever made. Hands down I love this movie nothing bad i have to write about. Love the story, love the suspense, love the acting. The direction to the movie was great. Scared the crap out of me when i was a kid. This movie needs to hit theaters again on halloween. Best of movie of all time. Winner by knock out.
Fantastic!
Thank you iTunes! Halloween is a classic, and it's great to finally have the original available.
It WAS the Boogeyman...
HALLOWEEN is an eerie, surprisingly well-crafted thriller about a babysitter (Jamie Lee Curtis) who is forced to battle evil incarnate. While she and her friends are preparing for a night of tricks, treats, and horror films, a psychotic killer stalks their every move. Incredibly tense and suspenseful, Halloween is one of the greatest films ever made. 5/5, must-buy.
