    A few fun facts:
    We didn't use backpacks to carry our books back then.
    The budget for this movie was only $325,000, because of this the actors wore their own clothes and styled their own hair
    Michael Meyer's mask was a Captain Kirk (from Star Trek) Halloween mask that was altered slightly and painted white
    5 different people (not all of them actors, not all of them were male) stood in as Michael during the filming

      Actually 6 different people play Michael Myers in this film.
      There's Will Sandin as 6 year old Michael.
      The hand of the 6 year old, when he picks up the knife form the drawer is 'played' by producer Debra Hill.
      Also, when Tommy sees the Boogeyman on the porch for the first time, it was Debra Hill in the shot.
      Nick Castle plays adult Michael or
      The Shape as he's referred to in the credits.
      Tony Moran plays Michael when his masked is pulled off by Laurie.
      A stuntman whose name I can't recall, played Michael as he was shot by Dr. Loomis and fell from the balcony.
      Another unnamed person had to play Michael as he breaks the blinds in the closet that Laurie hides in, cause weirdly enough Nick Castle, and a couple of other people tried to break the blinds, but they couldn't do it in an orderly(?) enough fashion for it to look realistic in the shot.
      So......that person who was part of the crew had to step up and play Michael only for those 2 shots.

    One of the things I love about the original Halloween is how completely unaware the characters are. I don't mean the stupid unaware where they know murders are taking place and still decide to walk down an alley alone, but unaware as they completely are in the right mind to suspect nothing is going to happen. That is one of the things I find most terrifying. Couple that with the shots of the Shape just watching them and again them being completely unaware, is what makes this a really chilling movie.

    @falcon048 3 года назад +117

    From a film-making stand point, Halloween set the bar for "slasher" movies. One of the more innovative film techniques that Carpenter developed for this film, was starting off with mostly wide shots and as the film went on, the camera gets closer and closer to the subjects until, by the end, it's claustrophobic. That hadn't been done before. The movie is a slow burn with a lot of characterization, which is something modern day horror loses.

    So your comment about the backpacks got me curious and I went a googlin'. Most kids just lugged their books around or held them together with a belt. Backpacks were only used for camping. But with the introduction of lighter-weight canvas backpacks at the start of the 70s, college students started raiding sports supply stores for them as a way to lug their books around. The backpack manufacturers noticed the trend and realized they had a huge untapped market. But backpacks really weren't a ubiquitous thing among students until the 80s.

The Myers house was 'almost' demolished, quite literally on the brink of being demolished until a fan walking past ran to the builders forcing them to stop. That fan got the house recognised as a piece of movie history and it is now registered in the national historic register. The house was moved however. It now sits just down the road from it's original location. In fact, it sits just across the road from the hardware store that Michael broke into in Halloween 1978. The original house is very much still in existence and is in great condition. The Myers house used in H18 and HKILLS was actually built on a soundstage. The original house couldn't be used in the recent films because it doesn't sit on the same street anymore, as I mentioned before.

    I've seen films/TV shows from the '50s and '60s in which people will run up to a random parked car, jump in and drive away -- because people apparently just left their keys in their cars back then. Even as a kid in the 1960s, that sounded bizarre.

    4:09. That’s the “horrifying” effect Michael had on Dr Loomis. Loomis was a great psychologist (is that the right word) who was very grounded. But treating (and being around) Michael for 15 years managed to break this man down and believe that pure evil exists and that this “being” was its embodiment. Like a scientist who doesn’t believe in “ghosts” in anyway shape or form gets scared then drops all pretense of scientific belief and becomes extremely superstitious.

The literal reason we talk about those tropes! An absolute classic! 😁 if I were you though, I'd stick to this, the one after this and the 2018 John Carpenter follow up. Carpenter himself said only the original and the 2018 one are his and canon but personally I think 2 in the 70's is very good. Love your comments during the reaction!

I understand why they replaced the boy Lorie is babysitting because Anthony Michael Hall is a bigger name but I think it would have been cool if they'd used him too.

The only reason they even had the final battle was a Dr literally breaking him out & driving him to her lol. Also why would Laurie think he's a super evil being that's going to come back for her? In 2018 as far as she knows he was some random dude that was shot & arrested.

    Idk if it’s confirmed but I think michael’s presence is what makes him so scary. Like you’d think the characters would at least feel his presence when he’s stalking them. But maybe they don’t feel anything when he’s watching/around them, because he’s so cold and unenthused about stalking and killing. It could also just be for the plot(which is most likely), but it’s much more terrifying to me that he can conceal hisself to the point that nobody even gets the inkling that he’s around. Fuck that lmao
