I think I watchHalloweenevery Halloween, says Wood.
Its one of my favorite films of all-time.
It elicits a warm and fuzzy feeling for me, genuinely.
It makes me feel happy.
The innovation of the film still blows me away andhow simple it is.
It was obviously among the films to start the slasher movement.
We saw a lot of films copy it, and ultimately deviate, or water the genre down.
That film uses empty space really well.
It had room to breathe.
That opening sequence cant be beat, that POV shot with the reveal of a child.
you’re able to see a trailer forHalloween, below.
