Audience Reaction to Halloween Back In 1978.
Here’s an interesting video which documents the reaction of an audience in a cinema watching John Carpenter’s seminal horror movie Halloween, for the very first time back in good ole 1978.
As you will hear their screams and response to the film is hilarious, when you consider the scenes they’re watching are quite tame in comparison to the torture-porn horror flicks we’ve become accustomed to.
We along with many others were too young to see this film when it was first released and ended up watching it years later on grainy VHS in secret, so our parents wouldn’t find out. Didn’t sleep for weeks thanks to Michael Myers.

Avast! Trailer For The Ward.
"I can't be sure, but it does look like my career"
Carpenter is back bitches! It’s been way too long since cult film director John Carpenter, he of Halloween, The Thing and Escape From New York fame, graced us with his cinematic presence. The 62 year-old has done next to nothing since 2001 when his glorious sci-fi failure Ghosts Of Mars, starring Jason ‘wot you fackin’ starin’ at?’ Statham, bombed at the box office. But now he’s back with a new film called The Ward and judging by the trailer it looks…well…it looks like a steaming bag of shit! Maybe it’s the way the trailer has been edited together but it reeks of 80s straight -to-video slasher flick and has disappointed the entire crew here. First Postlethwaite then Rafferty and now this?! F@ck you 2011.
You may of course disagree with our assumptions.
