Halloween, 1978

This is a classic golden oldie. If like me, you are one of the very few people out there who have somehow missed this film, make sure you put it on your list. Now I have to admit, we did come very close to turning it off after the first 5 minutes because I honestly couldn't stop myself from laughing. BUT, it did get better and once I was used to the old style of film (low budget, bit corny etc!), I did really enjoy this film. It's basically about an escaped mental patient who flipped out when he was a little boy and murdered his sister on Halloween. Now he's back in his home town to stalk Jamie Lee Curtis and try his hand at terrorising teenage girls. Did put me off babysitting though!

SECOND OPINION: Obviously a horror classic. Yet Rach managed to laugh through the first ten minutes, no bother. For those who need a reminder, Michael is a young boy wandering around the house with his kitchen knife. Okay, so maybe that scene hasn't aged well and we've had Peep Show since then, but I still find it chilling. I was glad she got into it after a while, and it goes to show the classics will always be scary, no matter how old they get.
