IT'S HALLOWEEN! And for this week’s monologue, I’m doing something slightly different. Today, I’m focusing on the brief monologue first delivered by the character of Dr. Samuel Loomis in the original film in the Halloween series. However, I’m going to be highlighting two different versions of the speech, each one delivered by different actors in different films in different circumstances. By I'm With Geek Writers Hallowe'en, the one night of the year you can dress up as a crazy person, and no one will be able to tell it's the truth... In the spirit of the scares, our staff writers have decided to share with you the films that scared them as wee bairns. Read on at your PERIL! (cue evil laugh) by Max Bosshart 35 years ago on October 25, 1978 the film Halloween came out. John Carpenter capitalized on a growing trend entering the horror scene. Though he wasn't the first to take on a film such as this, some had come before, he arguably did it the best. The film inspired a generation of filmmakers and movie audiences who carry on the tradition. by Hayley Charlesworth and Robbie Jones Hocus Pocus celebrates it's 20th Anniversary this year. The Disney hysterical and spooky movie starring Bette Midler and Sarah Jessica Parker, tells the tale of three wicked sisters who brought back to do more terrible deeds. However, is this still a hilarious childhood romp or is it just as dead now as it was back then? Hayley and Robbie fight it out.... by the IWG Fiilm Team In 1993, stop motion and animation history was made: The Nightmare Before Christmas was released. Combining the super talented efforts of Tim Burton, Danny Elfman and Henry Selick, a whole world of imagination was unearthed. The story is of Halloween town resident Jack Skellington who has become sick of the screams and scaring people. However, during a long walk, he unearths a whole new world of Christmas town and wants to bring the joy and wonder he found there to the creepy town of Halloween. With some memorable songs, Nightmare has become iconic, sparking a whole new cult and a swarm of kids devoted to the film. If you haven't noticed, the film team have spent the whole day honouring this movie. Here, we all come together to celebrate this wonderful film. |
