Review:
Another one of those movies that I grew up watching, another one that I quote while it is playing to annoy Fredrik. ;)

A decent scary movie, and once again Jamie Lee Curtis is the Scream Queen. :)

The acting isn't that bad for being a 70's horror movie.

Christopher Lee was asked to play the role of Sam Loomis, but turned it down.
And all of the actors wore their own clothes, since there was no money for a costume department. Jamie Lee Curtis went to J.C. Penney for Laurie Strode's wardrobe. She spent less than a hundred dollars for the entire set. The movie was made on a budget of $400,000.

Definately a classic!
