8 Movies That Make Halloween Look Cooler Than It Really Is

6. Halloween Is Sexy (Halloween: 1978)

Halloween1 Note: This also applies to any slasher movie, regardless of whether they are set in Halloween or not, though the link here is obvious. In the movies Halloween turns horny teenagers into super-charged sex bots, ready to throw aside all inhibitions as they succumb to their lusty desires. Sorry. That sounded rather prudish. I remember being a teenager once...though I didn't throw aside my inhibitions just because it was Halloween. The 31st October just didn't have that effect on me! It started with this old classic. Babysitting equals a chance for hook ups and sexy times. Poor Annie doesn't get that far. She's on her way to pick up her boyfriend Paul when Michael Myers appears in her back seat and slashes her throat. At least Lynda got to have some fun with her boyfriend Bob before he gets horrifically impaled in the kitchen (it's a beautifully gruesome shot that shoes no blood whatsoever due to the atmospheric lightning). Lynda then plays the dumbest girl on the planet, believing the old 'killer under the sheet is my boyfriend'. Of course, we knew she was doomed the moment she had sex and flashed her boobs. Rule 1 of slasher movies. If you fool around, you're mortality rate goes up by 84%! And of course, Halloween defined the rules...so really, every sexed-up slasher victim probably has Lynda and her breasts to blame...
