A Great Way to Ruin October

October has always been my favorite month. I love horror movies, thrillers, and slashers. I love the general feeling of being creeped out or wondering if something is standing right behind the couch. It was with this in mind that a friend and I decided to see this movie Halloween night. Unfortunately, the scariest thing about it was the price for the ticket to get in. The story is a thoughtless, cliched, mess with no real redeemable qualities. The characters are flat cardboard cutouts of traditional stereotypes that feel like they're just going through the motions of making a movie. Most of the story elements and "surprises" are so transparent as to be laughable, and in fact, most of the people in the theater laughed out loud and mocked the characters and their plight through the second half of the movie. If The Happening had not been so bad, this movie would rank as the worst movie of all time. It's bad...
