For those who met his demands and settled in for a road movie about a greedy blonde, the rug was likely pulled harder than it ever had been or will be again when she was gutted like a fish by the 30-minute mark at the hands of a cross-dressing serial killer (though at the time, it appears to be his mother).Likely the greatest scare in movie history, the scene is punctuated with the deafening sounds of Hermanns burning score stopping dead in its tracks by the sound of repeated violin screeches. Screeches may not even be the right word; the scorescreamed. Audiences, feeling almost as violated as Leighs bloodied and dying character, let their preconceptions wash away with the showers blood and the lowering cellos.

Evil can get you, even in your suburban neighborhood, and for no other reason than you crossed its path. Originally about three babysitters nominated for ritualistic slaughter by an escaped psych patient who, one Halloween night 20 years earlier, silently and emotionlessly murdered his older sister when he was only 8-years-old,Halloweenis chilling in its unknowable malevolence. And that Other, a masked enigma, is only better represented by its even more inexplicable score.
