The last horror, thriller or suspense film you watched

Since today was the 40th anniversary of its release, I watched HALLOWEEN 1978.

I heard Carpenter has disdain for Val Newton--feeling a monster should always be shown--but I really think Carpenter made a mistake by showing us Michael's face. Would have made more sense to see him from the back when his mask is removed at the start (with him facing the house) and why bother remove his mask at the end? Pointless.

Loomis giving us a description of his Devil's eyes didnt match what we had already seen of the kid.

But, the movie still packs a punch.
One has to give high praise to JLC for her acting especially in the closet sequence. She really sells the terror there.

I watched one of two DVD versions I have, this one has the tv version as well as a pan and scan of the theatrical movie--but the 16x 9 wasn't widescreen enough because a couple of the Michael appearances come after the music gives the cue. Oh well.
