• Michael made his debut in John Carpenter's 1978 horror classic, Halloween, possibly the best scare movie to come along in the last twenty-five years.

In the final analysis, The Curse of Michael Myers is a horrific motion picture just not in the way the film makers intended.

• My norm for watching scary movies, what I love about it, is when they work and they scare me, which is not that often I'm afraid.

• What do women do when they get together? We sit around and talk! Men, not so much. My theory is that this difference is genetic and dates back to the hunter-gatherer societies, when the men had to be quiet as they hunted, lest they scare away the bison and then everyone starved to death and it was all their fault.
