# I believe in the second it touches nicely upon the idea
that Michael Myers is somehow possessed and supernatural yet doesn't go down the road of playing too heavy on that else it becomes too abstract and not social-real enough if you understand what I mean.

Edit: Yes I would imagine anything to do with Friday the 13th after that damn shit awful Sci-Fi one (was it Jason X?)in the series would be a pile of rotting crap!

# certainly do, it's more akin to the old series (the early ones) and I like that
I think I preferred Myers over any other 'horror killer' as there was nothing about him consistent, no real 'signature' - which made it far more creepy.

# Well where the original really won over the competition
was that Micheal Myers was evil to start with and there was no explanation why, and he was human and not some zombie/reincarnate so therefore you had the feeling that perhaps out in the real world there was a real Michael Myers and that really made it scary. Friday the 13th was just nonsense, the killer in the first movie was his Mum you only see Jason right at the end - damn stupid if you ask me.

# aye, and totally with you on the explanation of myers introduction.
I STILL can't listen to THAT theme without getting goosebumps, and I've seen the film countless times now

# It certainly is my favourite I hope it's on this Halloween
I love getting some snacks in, some booze turning all the lights off and having a scarefest - this is my kind of fun!

What I also like to watch this time of year is The Thing - Halloween and The Thing would be my kind of night.
