I've only seen one horror film so far this month, but have been reading and appreciating all of the reviews here.
I am intrigued by the opinions of Rob Zombie's Halloween films as I watched them and really didn't like them. Like Demdike, since then I've watched many more of Zombie's films, specifically the 'Firefly' trilogy.
As I have the US Halloween box set, containing all the Halloween films made up till 2014 and the two Rob Zombie ones, I'm inclined to find a week closer to the end of the month to watch and reappraise those two.
In isolation and ignoring the sequels, Carpenter's Halloween is a brilliant film. I'm going to politely disagree with Demdike and declare Jamie Lee Curtis the definitive Laurie Strode. Whether that opinion will change after watching the Zombie Halloween films remains to be seen!
