'Halloween' Unmasked (1999)
*** 1/2
John Carpenter, Debra Hill, Tommy Lee Wallace, Dean Cundy, P.J. Soles, Jamie Lee Curtis, Nick Castle, Irwin Yablans and Moustapha Akkad are all interviewed for this thirty-minute documentary that takes a look at the making of HALLOWEEN. It's important not to be too hard on this documentary because since it was made there have been a couple others that contain even more details. The longer options are certainly the way to go but at the same time this here was a well-produced film for its time and there's no question that these interviews were terrific especially when you first saw them. Even though the running time is rather short there's a lot of great details on here about the production, the casting and of course the reaction to the movie once it was released. If you're a fan of HALLOWEEN then this is still worth watching.
