Do you think the original Halloween was somewhat boring?

@LElam

The first Halloween is terribly overrated. Not only is it boring, it’s nowhere near as good as Rob Zombie’s films. The answer? Because it’s not bloody at all. If there was some intestines and face stabs, it probably would have been a lot better. Plus, why John Carpenter decided to put a sheet on top of Bob and Lynda while they were having sex… UGH. They should have shown everything. The other thing is the music. It sounds like some cheesy soap opera music and there is no creativity in the classic theme. It’s literally 2 or 3 notes on the piano.















End joke. Are you kidding me? The original Halloween is amazing, not boring at all.

That was good bro

Not boring in the least. I certainly don’t find it frightening anymore, but it’s still a very captivating and spooky film. It’s also just plain fun to watch.

OMG right? Halloween is hecka boring and what’s with that white mask? The final Twilight movie is coming out and it’s going to be DA BOMB! Team Edward beats Team Myers!

Ironic…I find horror movies with too much gore and action boring. Rather than the other way around.

I just finished watching Halloween (1978) on Blu-ray, and have to say that I think it’s a pretty boring movie! It will always be a classic and one of the best horror films ever, but as far as watching it nowadays for the 20th time, I wasn’t really stimulated. The later sequels (H4, for example) are worse than the original, but they have more action in them and in my opinion better character development.

In the original Halloween, the characters Annie, Lynda, and Bob were hardly developed (you didn’t really feel any substance there when only those characters were in a scene), whereas side characters in Halloween 4, like Kelly and Brady, seemed to be developed more.

I’m not saying H4 is better than H1, I’m just saying that H1 is more boring and less developed (although it is a better movie).

Are you crazy?
You must be of the younger generation.

If you think the movie is boring because it doesn’t have action, then you are missing the point. Perhaps you’ll love the shaky camera bit in the Rob Zombie movies if you want more “action”. Or perhaps just go watch Rambo or something, if you want action. In my opinion, horror films shouldn’t be about “action”. They’re around execution. And I mean that in both ways.

Straight on the money

HOW DARE YOU!! J/k No I never find it boring one bit. I don’t wear the movie out though, I cycle through a bounch of horror movies then come back to it. I watch 1-4 then go to something else. >Marty<

You obviously don’t get the point of the movie, or the idea of the “slow burn”. Building likeable characters take time, and because you’ve spent so much time with them makes it that much more impactful when Myers appears to kill.

[Rikstar]

Yawn. I’m bored with your opinion.

[pelicanbrief]

In Crystal Lake Memories Joseph Vito I think described horror as being similar to comedy in that it’s based on the buildup and the punchline. Every frame counts, and the execution is just so important in whether you pull it off or not. Just as The Situation can take decent jokes and run them into the ground with terrible execution and delivery, Bill Murray can take the most boring situation and just make it funny.

The original Halloween I think is one of the best testaments to that. The situations as far as horror movies go are really banal if you think about it. Babysitters being stalked and killed- that’s basically the whole story. So what makes it a classic? The execution. From the lighting to music, to the way it was directed and shot- it’s just executed so well that it derives suspense no matter if it’s your first time or 50th or 1000th. To say it’s boring and you think the sequels were more exciting and had better character development is just…

I respect your opinion 100% and i,m guessing your slightly younger god I wish I was so that,s a compliment but see it,s just a different generation my 17 year old daughter loves it however but she,s unique! the Zombie stuff I own but naaa? so so I hate the over done sex scenes makes it impossible to watch with my child and I HATE hearing 2 people make out anyhow ARRRRRRRRRR! Makes my toe nails curl the overdone cursing is tacky as hell and the acting is HORRIBLE period! u can’t argue that!Still entertaining as can B! Donald Pleasence was fantastic and Jamie Lee come on!I think u have to realize it,s disturbing because it,s realistic where Jason is hard to take 2 serious! I don’t understand your point at all! sorry. I,ll admit my inner feeling that Friday the 13th 1-4 were the epitome of fun and have a powerful effect on me but Halloween 78 and the Fog are much better written stories.MUCH!

[MichaelMyers687]

I dont think its boring at all, the only one I thought was kind of boringish was Halloween 2 1981, But i’d love if they put those 2 up in theaters again.

[Michael_Aspinwall]

I’ve always seen it as suspenseful but I guess by today’s Horror Industry standards it’s boring. Today’s horror movies could use a little more Halloween in them.
