“The wind outside nested in each tree,
prowled the sidewalks in invisible treads like unseen cats.
Tom Skeleton shivered. Anyone could see that the wind was a special wind this night, and the darkness took on a special feel because it was All Hallows' Eve. Everything seemed cut from soft black velvet or gold or orange velvet. Smoke panted up out of a thousand chimneys like the plumes of funeral parades. From kitchen windows drifted two pumpkin smells: gourds being cut, pies being baked.”

I never a John Carpenter movie I didn't love, well, with the exception of Escape From New York, but we will discuss that some other time. Halloween is again, from my time, and it was then, and continues to be now, my favorite horror movie, and that's a difficult thing to determine when you not only love horror to the extent I do, but as I said, love all the movies John Carpenter has ever made. Well, with the exception of... well, you know. LOL.
This copy of Halloween is from YouTube, and is the TV version, but it's still fun, and the commercials are kept to a minimum. But it also contains scenes not on the DVD, so that makes it kinda neat to watch, if for no other reason the dated references and nostalgia for the time. And who doesn't love listening to Linda go on about her school books?
The Michael Myers house is located in Pasadena, California, and is now a museum dedicated to the movie. I hope to get down to Los Angeles in the next year oh so, probably in October, so I have that landmark high on my list of must visits. Hell, I may put on a costume and walk around the neighborhood whether it's Halloween or not! Perhaps I could get a costume together, similar to the clothes Jamie Lee Curtis wore in the film. She purchased the outfits from J.C. Penney, so how much easier does it get? And I get new clothes! LOL.
If you like, let me know in the comments, if this is a good touch for my blog. I know you can look up this stuff pretty easily, and get it with better resolution, and sans commercials, but it's a new way of sharing about what makes me, well, me. So feel free to let me know how you feel in the comments, or if you are a pal, send me an email or contact me on Twitter, or if you prefer to call it, X. By the way, in case you never noticed before, the fictional town of Haddonfield is supposed to be in Illinois, but in actuality it was filmed in Southern California, so be sure to count the palm trees that can be seen throughout the movie. LOL. Cheesy fun! Just remember, Halloween is...
The Night He Came Home.
