This ISN'T my favorite horror film, BUT it IS my favorite slasher film. I don't know, or don't have a favorite. My second-favorite horror film is My Bloody Valentine (guess which version?).
I recently watched the Blu-ray. Lots of interesting tidbits from the commentary track. Although, the one thing I didn't like was the fact the the three commentators (John Carpenter, Debra Hill and Jamie Lee Curtis) recorded their parts separately (perhaps not in the same place or even the same time, year). It's MUCH MORE FUN when you have two or more people making comments for them to be together and talking between or among themselves. Having a discussion (a banter).
Three bits of trivia (NOT sure IF already mentioned, or not) are:
1. Dennis Quaid was originally wanted to play Bob. He was the real-life boyfriend at the time of the actress who played Bob's girlfriend.
2. Nick Castle ("The Shape") was TERRIFIED of the German Shepherd.
3. Haddonfield, Illinois is named for Haddonfield, New Jersey were Debra Hill grew-up.
4. Original title was The Babysitter Murders.
