The Best Horror Movie Documentaries and Specials for Halloween Viewing
 The
Inside Story: Halloween
An inside look at the
making of John Carpenter's 1978 low-budget horror
masterpiece. First conceived as a "babysitter murder movie"
the young-gun director, along with a group of recent film
school grads and a gang of eager but inexperienced actors,
tackled Halloween's 21-day shooting schedule, $325,000
budget and an ambitious four-minute long take to become the
stuff of indie-film legend. This is an inspirational story
of young artists coming together and a "behind-the-mask"
look at one of the creepiest horror flicks of all time.
Jamie Lee Curtis, John Carpenter, Rob Zombie and more
provide insightful commentary dealing with everything from
having five different Michael Myers' to the movie's legacy
as a slasher film that would spawn scores of imitations but
not one equal. Biography 2010
