I'd have to agree with most folks here. Halloween is great.
I do have to say that I like Christine. I know that it isn't a favorite with everyone.
As a Stephen King fan, I like it! It's not as great as the book, but not many film adaptations are as great. I thought Christine was pretty good though!
In the Mouth of Madness
shareMY favorite was "The Fog"
One of the things I loved was his distinctive soundtracks. A simple yet driving force to his movies.
I couldnt stand what they did to the remake of The Fog.
When you look at the original, you understand the brilliance of how it was written.
I also loved Christine, although it was really Steven King's plot. Carpenter was the perfect choice to bring it to the screen. Of course it contained the same Brilliant Carpenter soundtrack that helped make the movie special.

Halloween has a great creepy atmosphere and all but I'm just not that big a fan of Michael and can't put my finger on why.
