I don't agree with any of that

The cheesiness is part of the charm, and people don't necessarily want a maximally scary movie.

You are a twat and a piece of shit. Now fuck off and don't come back.

>>87244236

It was the first slasher. All others copied it.

It's THE predecessor to an entire genre of movies you've seen and probably liked

Could you be any more of a pleb?

Basically that. It's not generic, everything else is a copy. The Carpenter synth is fine because he's actually fucking good at setting the mood with it.

t. 16 year old who gets mad at people who bash movies from his time period while singing praises of movies decades older than himself and feels the need to put "nostalgiafag grandpas" in their place

You're so right op, this movie is not only overrated it's just not good. It was considred garbage back when it came out and nostalgia has made it a "classic" but it's total shit.

The best Halloween movie is the third one which had nothing to do with the others. And it's only 3/4 stars.

>It was considred garbage back when it came out
Yes... totally...
>Halloween was produced on a budget of $300,000 and grossed $47 million at the box office in the United States,[2] $23 million internationally, for a total of $70 million worldwide,[3] equivalent to roughly $267 million as of 2016, becoming one of the most profitable independent films

Profitable garbage.

>>87244588
Literally no one but retard feminist disliked it.

>>87244361
Wrong. That honor belongs to Bob Clark's classic Black Christmas (1974).

>>87244578
>Halloween was produced on a budget of $300,000
Could you do an exact copy of Halloween today with the inflation adjusted budget of $1 200 000?

>>87244658
Literally didn't get a good review until November after the summer it came out. You're a moron.

I can't hate John Carpenter. His movies have a certain Carpenter trademark. He just does what he wants to do.

>>87244578

Are you a teenager? That was some highschool tier bait you took.

>>87244772
Wrong. I lived through the 80s and we all thought it was crap. It is crap.

>>87244236
It was the first of its kind.

Go back, watch all the horror films that came out in the 1950s and the 1960s and then watch Halloween. It's completely different. It was the first slasher film. When this film came out it was completely new. There was nothing else like it.

It seems generic to you because you've probably seen all the copycats that have come out since then.

I suggest you watch the Rob Zombie remake and compare them. I never really liked Halloween until I saw the crappy remake. Then I really appreciated it for its subtlety and nuance.

Been saying for YEEEEEEEAAAAAAARRRRSSS that Halloween is overrated trash. It has good things in it like the title, score, PJ Soles tits etc... but Black Christmas and Friday the 13th are superior. The best thing about Halloween is that it led to Halloween 3: Season of the Witch which is the best film of the series!!!FACT!!!

>>87244677
Black Christmas is better than Halloween in every way. Better camera work, stronger script with a better sense of mood and atmosphere. Seriously, Halloween is for plebs and entry level humans!!!FACT!!!

>>87244709
You could make that movie today with $50 and a GoPro camera!!!FACT!!!

>>87244848
>but Black Christmas and Friday the 13th are superior.
What about the italian movie that Friday 13th is pretty much a remake of?

Same here. It's okay but pales in comparison to other slasher films. Mike Myers is a shit killer with zero personality, may as well be the boogeyman, and the film is simply not scary anymore.

Halloween is excellent and one of the most influential films of all time. This is the only horror that actually did terrify me as a kid, too. No other has done that.

"I don't like it and I wish I was watching porn" isn't an argument against it in the slightest.

God only knows what you're watching on a day to day basis if you praise modern horror films. Maybe these shitposters who pretend to love superhero films are real.

He is the boogeyman.
