The History Of Halloween Film Making

John Carpenter, a young director with only two films behind him — expanded college project Dark Star (1974) and thriller Assault On Precinct 13 (1976) — intended Halloween to be a ruthless machine of a movie, a thrill ride designed simply to leave the audience shaking with fear. He succeeded. It became the single most successful independent production at that time and changed the face of the horror movie. If Universal’s 1931 Frankenstein is “the most important horror movie ever made” then Halloween runs it a close second.

After Carpenter’s film no co-ed taking a shower was safe from the legion of masked psychotics who haunted high schools, college dorms, summer camps and slumber parties. The formula was so outrageously successful that by 1981 over 60 per cent of American releases were of the stalk’n’slash genre. Without Michael Myers there would be no Jason Voorhees (Friday The 13th) or Freddy Krueger (Nightmare On Elm Street). The ripples continue to roll across horror’s dark millpond with ironic horrors like Scream and Urban Legend themselves being spoofed in Scary Movie, while I Know What You Did Last Summer simply returns to the tried and tested formula.

But no movie since Carpenter’s has delivered the requisite shocks with such exuberant elegance. Halloween’s main influences are probably Psycho and Michael Powell’s Peeping Tom (both 1960), the tale of a voyeuristic killer who forces his victims to watch their own deaths. That element of voyeurism is present in Carpenter’s lurking camera and extensive use of point-of-view (POV) shots, both from the killer and his victim’s perspectives. It’s a technique that dazzles from the start of the movie.

Here are some different types of Halloween movies that you can enjoy with your friends, family and kids also. There are many different types are available everywhere. I personally chose these movies for you guys, so at first
