Halloween

The first Halloween movie was released in 1978. I was a Senior in High School. I never did see the movie at the theaters, but saw it much later. A whole franchise of movies arose about the Michael Myers legend and this year movie number nine is being released. Halloween the movie is written and directed by Rob Zombie. Rob Zombie has written other horror movies and even composed music for horror films. I think he will bring a fresh look to the Halloween series. And with a name like that, the movie should be really scary!

Halloween (2007) is again based on Micheal Myers, who after 17 years in a mental asylum, is mistakenly released and he returns to find his baby sister Laurie. Anyone who gets in Michael’s way is sure to get a very big surprise. Here is the trailer:

I try to avoid scary movies if at all possible, but my favorite scary movie is still Silence of the Lambs. I watched this movie all by myself and it totally terrified me. Here was a person that was so amoral. Killing was nothing. Hannibal Lecter reminds me of Michael Myers. They both have their agendas and they are going to carry them out.

Look for Halloween the movie in movie theaters near you on August 31, 2007.
