good babysitter movie
Agree. This is a great movie and one of the greatest of all time for myself. I really like the entire series, but the remake by Rob Zombie really turned me off to the movies for a while. Though i like his direction he went in explaining the story behind the story, i really just didnt care for the MOVIE in the way that it was a 2 hour softcore porn. Origional was sooooo much better.
It still scares me!! Loves it!
this was a great one, i love all the halloween movies...
I took my wife to see this movie when it first came out. She was 5 months pregnant and to this day I wonder if it somehow made my daughter the "challenge child" we still laugh about.
