Day 13 of my Halloween Film Fest. Out of all of the 80's horror classics, this is my all-time favorite! Not only do you have the scream queen herself, Jamie Lee Curtis, you have her sharing the screen for the first of only two times with her famous mother, the legendary Marion Crane herself (Psycho), Janet Leigh. You also get a fantastic performance from John Carpenter's famous spouse, Adrienne Barbeau and a wonderful supporting performance from the legendary Hal Holbrook as Father Malone.
Following his huge independent hit, the cult classic, "Halloween," Carpenter and his producer from "Halloween" Debra Hill, pull no punches in this phenomenally terrifying film which gave me nightmares when I first saw it as a teenager. Carpenter and Hill have written a horror classic filled with vengeful ghosts, romance, children in peril, and suspense so thick you can cut it with knife.
Taking a simple premise and using a climate phenomenon "Fog," Carpenter and Hill send shivers up your spine throughout the entire course of this film.
If you haven't experienced this classic, WATCH IT NOW! You will see why it is considered a cult classic of the finest kind!
