However, none could do it as well as John Carpenter’s original film. Its the precursor to the slasher boom that would rock the 80s and resurface in the latter half of the 90s. Halloween might be one of the most knocked off and copied films of all time. I wasn’t alone in my inspiration as many a film would come out of Halloween’s success. Through later years, my appreciation continues to grow in just appreciating the craft and admiring the masterwork of one of my all time favorite directors, producers and cinematographers. This made me feel like I could do something like that too.
As the years went on and I continued to study the film and learning about how it was made, it became somewhat of an inspiration that Carpenter and company could take this little minimalist production and make one of the largest impacts in film history. Michael’s night of terror really struck me and scared the piss out of me. I once fell in love with the thrill ride this film gave me when I saw it at a young age. If you’re a frequent reader of me here, you’ll know by now that this is my favorite film of all time. On the eve before Halloween, Michael escapes the asylum and heads home to Haddonfield, Illinois where he stalks Laurie Strode and her friend Annie as they babysit across the street from one another on Halloween night. Sam Loomis believes him to be complete evil and is looking to lock him up for good.

If you’re looking for additional thoughts on these films, and more in depth analysis on them, please see my 31 Days Of Halloween special from last year on my blog Naptown Nerd by clicking HERE. Let’s take a look at what it does include. This edition runs a bit cheaper and I guess is for someone who is more concerned with saving shelf space (its much more condensed packaging) and doesn’t care all too much about alternate cuts or bonus material.

That one is only 10 discs and is pretty much just the discs with the regular cut of the movie and that’s it. There was another, more basic edition, released as well. Most every bit of press and excitement wen toward the Deluxe Limited Edition that came with 15 discs. What seems to be little known is that there were actually two versions of Halloween: The Complete Collection back on September 23rd.
