"Do you know he's one of the richest men in the country? And he got that way selling cheap gags and Halloween masks. Oh god, there's hope for us yet."

The bugs coming out of the masks is genuinely one the creepiest things I've ever watched.

Original screenplay written by Nigel Kneale (he took his name off it when Carpenter and others tinkered with the script), which I think accounts for the Hammer horror vibe of this one.

It was only when I listened to Kim Newman's commentary track for this that I realised that the trio of masks on the TV advert within the film represent the 'Halloween 3'.

(is what we called the antagonist on first viewing and it's stuck ever since.)
(I love this ludicrous movie, btw.)
Has the original Kneale screenplay ever leaked out? I'd love to read it.
This one is my most played of the Halloween OSTs.

On that Region 2 Newman/Jones commentary track I mentioned, Stephen Jones says he's read the original Kneale screenplay, so it obviously still exists.

This Halloween movie is the best of the Halloween movies. By like a lot.
(Maybe that belongs in the controversial opinions thread. Except for the part where it's a fact.)

I love that this movie is now a cult classic. So nasty! So sleazy! Such fun.
