I'm hitting 49 pretty soon and remember seeing it in the theaters all those years ago. While the big scares (zombie sit up, 'you can't kill the boogie man') remain as favorites, it's the smaller parts that stay with me as I get deeper into middle age:
- Michael driving past the trio and one asking if it was Davon Graham. Laurie's voice drops down while the wind plays with her a bit before she replies "I don't think so." There was something so instinctively reflexive about her answer because it was based on fear (both real and imagined).
- Loomis talking about the history of the Myers house, while the pragmatic cop casually replies that the neighborhood kids think it may be haunted. Sam, who has basically seen the face of evil in person, tells him they may be right.

My most favorite scene of the whole movie is when Laurie finds out all of her friends are dead, she runs out of the room crying, and in the dark background we see Michael Myers slowly appearing from the shadows. I don't know why, I just love that scene. What about you guys?
This is my favorite scene as well. What makes the whole thing work is how slowly the lighting changes and that Michael doesn't move. If he had moved into the doorway from the side or something it would have been standard horror movie stuff, but with his face just slowly, slowly appearing the viewer realizes that he's been there the whole time and tries to pinpoint the exact moment he became visible. -

My favorite scene has always been Laurie seeing Michael in Mr. Riddle's backyard.
My favorite sequences are tied between Loomis and Brackett at the Myers house and Laurie walking across the street to the Wallace house. Both equally effective.
