Halloween (film)
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.
Halloween is a 1978 musical horror-Western film centering around the small town of Haddonfield, IL and a serial killer named Michael Myers. It's not scary. The film was a low-budget independent that that cost $35,000 to make. Still, it was a huge success.

[edit] Plot
On Halloween night, 1963, Mike Myers ( not to be confused with Ausin Powers ) killed his second cousin, twice removed, for no apparent reason. He was later sent to a buddhist temple under the care of Dr. Albert Einstein, who kept him locked up for enough years to let him be able to kill his victems as he was supposed to do in the script.. This caused a problem for the film-makers, who had to wait for the original child actor to grow up in order to fulfil his role as adult Michael, and nearly caused the cancellation of the entire project.
In 1978, Michael escapes from the temple and stalks three girls who are babysitting. He kills them off one by one. First he kills Annie Brackett, then he kills Urkel, and then Lynda. But just before he gets to kill Laurie Strode, she unmasks him and the face of George Clooney is revealed (although other sources say Tony Danza). Loomis shoots him six times and leaves him for dead. Michael lays on the ground, takes a nap, and then walks off, setting up the sequel. A little known fact of the film was that Michael, a long term transvestite, continued to wear the harlequin outfit from the opening scenes throughout the whole of the movie; as was revealed in the commentary track on the "Hallowe'en: 18th century special edition" DVD.
Myers is most commonly known today as the "grocery bag killer" because he wears a white bag on his head with one hole where the eye would go. Many believe his concept for a costume came from a late 70's porn film. Myers continues to scare red-headed teenaged girls across (insert wealthy country's name here) today. The film was remade by Ed Wood in 1959,in it;6 year old police inspector Daniel Clay(Tor Johnson)kills his sister Vampira(Vampira)and gets abducted by aliens led by Boris Karloff,however he escapes decades later from the space ship and decides to stalk Haddonfield,San Fernando,with his alien psychiatrist Dr. Sam Eros(Dudley Manlove)and his nurse Tanna in hot pursuit he decides to attack his sister Paula Trent,but the aliens bring Vampira and Daniel's dad(played by stock footage of Bela Lugosi mowing his lawn,taking a shit and calling Christopher Lee a "fag",but Ed Wood lost this footage and re-shot it with footage of Mike Tyson,who bore a strong resemblance to Lugosi's chiroprachter.)back to life to take over the world,revealing pointlessly that they were controlling Clay the whole time(even though they've spent the whole fucking movie trying to find him,and apparently because he escaped from them.),they then reveal they have revived the evil trio to kill babysitters who babysit on Halloween because after having sex with their boyfriends(although strangely Paula is apparently a virgin,in fact the whole time she spends with her friends,she is made fun of for never dating.) they carve pumpkins which release toxic gases into Hilary Clinton's lawn which create a lethal substance calles "Solaranite" for which they have been trying to save earth from while the zombies destroy it,or somenthing like that they are all killed after watching Kenneth Branagh's awful 1994 movie NOT REALLY MARY SHELLEY'S FRANKENSTEIN,and their eyeballs fall out and are eaten by Alvin and the Chipmunks. the film was xconsidered to be the most amazing piece of celluoid ever put to film,mostly for it's strong dialogue on behalf of Dudley Manlove's performance as Dr. Eros;"YOU SEE!,YOU SEE!?Death has come to your little town sheriff,your stupid town,stupid!,stupid!" how could that not be awesome?.

[edit] References
Halloween is well-known to have coveted the ideas of many films in the slasher genre, something director Michael Barrymore has been happy to discuss at length with his fans. He is quoted as having taken ideas from such films as "Scream 2", "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", Gundam 00 and "I'm Not Sure What You Did Last Summer (But I Bet It Was Naughty And When I Find Out I'm Telling Your Mum)". In the 1985 documentary "What Were We Scared Of?", Director of Photography Ken Russell claimed to have based the night scenes on some extreme BDSM movies he had been watching the week before, and was said to have almost left the project when told he couldn't include the now famous "dog fisting" scene in the final cut.
Thankfully, producer Mohammed Al-Fayed managed to persuade him to stay on. Possibly with the offer of further sequel work, with or without dogs, we do not know for sure.

The latest movie, Halloween, is not a sequel, but rather a remake of the original. Rob Zombie helmed the ambitious project, which was released in United States theaters August 31, 2007 and released on DVD on December 18, 2007. Unfortunately, Zombie realized that Halloweens 2, 4-8 were already remakes of the original and now disowns his masterpiece.
