This "Movies That Made Us" series takes a tone that is light-hearted, sometimes even a little goofy, and full of whiz-bang visual effects. Like that approach or not, it always at least somewhat "makes up for it" with access (e.g. Interviews) with key members of the production.
In this "Halloween" installment, the filmmakers primarily talk with distributor Irwin Yablans, editor Tommy Lee Wallace, and actor Nick Castle (the man portraying The Shape!). They all recount various stories from the film's inception and production, such as making it on a shoestring budget, putting together the cast, finding the iconic mask, and working under the genius of John Carpenter. These stories might not be anything new for more seasoned Halloween film buffs, but it is still fun to hear them being told by first-person sources.
Overall, I enjoyed this little romp through some of the history of perhaps the most iconic horror film ever made. Sometimes the comedic tone of this series doesn't mesh all that well with the content of the clips from the film, but the experience still manages to be engaging on the whole.
