Halloween the Movie

Sponsored:
What is your favorite scary movie? Mine is Friday the 13th; but not for its horror value, but rather its comedic value. You see, I went to a theater to watch it in college during a free showing on a Friday the 13th. This particular showing had the theater full of 19 - 21 year old women. And they were really freaked out by the movie. You know during the movie something scary is going to happen when you hear the whispering echo "kill kill kill kill jason jason jason jason". Now the fun comes when there is a point that has no scary value at all and you start whispering "kill kill kill kill jason jason jason jason" and the entire row of women sitting in front of you scream, making the entire theater scream. Let me tell you, that was the funniest horror movie I've ever seen. These Friday the 13th movies and the entire Halloween series are of the same cloth.

The new Halloween movie is soon to be released and I'm sure it will revive the series. This new Halloween the movie is brought to you by Rob Zombie (from the rock/heavy metal band White Zombie). His musical endeavors have always been innovative and appealing. I'm sure his version of Halloween the movie will have that same edge to them. What this series needs is a fresh mind to give it a fresh feel, while still holding the heart of the old-time horror movie. This is exactly what it looks like Rob Zombie is bringing, based on the trailer.



Try to have some fun with this movie. See how many times you can get the entire theater to scream in between the scary parts.
