Michel Myers Halloween movie has been one of the scariest Halloween movies of all time. He terrorized a suburb, which looks pretty similar to the one that movie-maker John Carpenter presently lives in, back in 1978.
Carpenter's walls are marked with his four decades in the movie industry. There were figurines of Kurt Russell as Snake Plisskin and the "Creature from the Black Lagoon" spent long years trying to make at Universal. There was also a sculpture that commemorated the prankster goosings on the set of his "Big Trouble in Little China."
However, the movie of his that is believed to be most watched, particularly every night on October 31st, would be "Halloween." This movie was actually originally entitled, "The Babysitter Murders." Carpenter took the project after he made his debut with sci-fi "Dark Star" in 1974.
After all these years, there is still passion burning within Carpenter, who has quite honed in on his title as the Master of Horror. He recalled having the time of his life while he was making Michael Myers Halloween movie, a modest $300,000 slasher that initiated one of the most influential horror franchises of all time.
His Michael Myers Halloween movie turns 36 this year. Although it was a low-budget horror movie, one that he was able to make in just a span of 20 days, Carpenter shares that it was one of his favorite shoots.
"Man, it was one of the most fun sets because everybody was young and we were just making a movie," Carpenter shared. "Most movies involve pain. This wasn't painful. But, the ambitions of this movie were not bigger than its budget. It was designed for the low budget, back in the days when there were still low-budget exploitation movies made."
Because of the terror that his Michael Myers Halloween movie imbued in the public through these years, Hollywood keeps on recycling "Halloween." However, it would appear that Carpenter strongly believes there should not have been any sequels to Myers's story.
"I didn't think there was any more story, and I didn't want to do it again," Carpenter revealed. "All of my ideas were for the first 'Halloween" - there shouldn't have been any more!"
