This film is THE Halloween film. I don't care about the other film which is actually called Halloween.
Basically this story takes place in a generic American town where it is Halloween. Throughout the film we follow 5 different stories that intersect at times (for example there's a scene where characters from story A bump into characters from story B) but they basically have nothing to do with each other. Adding to this things are not always in chronological order. This may sound like it's overwritten and confusing but it's really not and it all makes sense.
The film is generally lighthearted. It was not meant to be serious but is Halloween serious? No, Halloween is fun and this film captures that. This doesn't mean that this film is a B film, no not by a long shot.
There are obviously serious horror aspects, people will die (brutally) sometimes, some of the stories are pretty morbid but in the end it always seems to take dark yet humorous ending.
I seriously recommend this for any fan of the holiday.
