Final Thoughts
I have always found the film "Halloween" to be a very overrated movie that was no more than a decent movie, and while this is an enjoyable documentary, it has not changed my stance on this film. This documentary however is very interesting providing some details of the films and there makings that where fun to know. Well worth watching and actually, to me at least, more enjoyable then the movies it covers.
