10 Things You Learn Rewatching Halloween (1978)

John Carpenter's Halloween holds up as a chillingly effective horror film and it's obvious to see why it launched a franchise with such longevity. It's got great characters, stellar direction, and a score that any horror filmmaker would kill for. And on top of all of that, it introduced the world to Michael Myers in spectacularly horrific fashion.

Haddonfield High Superlatives:

Best Kill: Michael skewering Bob to the wall with a knife.

Funniest Scene: Loomis scaring Lonnie away from the Myers' house with his weird voice and saying "Lonnie, get your ass away from there".

Biggest Dick of a Character: Lonnie. Kids are such dicks.

How Awful of a Town is Haddonfield?: 2 out of 10 (occasional home of serial killer)

Scream Queen Award: Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode. Obviously.
