(More customer reviews)I've always been on the fence about which Halloween poster was my favorite. For me, it's a tossup between part 2 and part 5.(I guess this is fitting, since these are my two favorite sequels in the series.) Halloween 2 is incredible, as they combine two of the classic, iconic images of the season(a pumpkin and a fiendish-looking skull.)
But the poster for Halloween 5 is just about as good. The first thing you notice is just how much of the poster is black. This serves to accentuate the ghastly pallor of Myer's mask, and the gleaming blade of the knife. The lettering features orange outline, to further add to the seasonal ambience.
This is a strikingly beautiful poster.
I display mine in a black, metallic frame. Thus mounted, it is about as attractive as any poster I've ever seen. I couldn't be more pleased with this(although I also have the poster for part 2 hanging right by its side-and I still have to flip a coin to say which I like better!)You cannot go wrong with this. It looks even better in person than it does on this site.
Halloween 5 is an incredible film. It manages to fit within the expected framework for a Halloween film, while still carving its own distinctive place. You get the feel of a small town during the harvest season. And Michael Myers, seemingly always on the periphery, patiently stalking his victims. And Dr. Loomis, like Samson, summoning all his strength, and rising to the occasion one final time.(and, for the guys in the audience, just about the sexiest trio of ladies ever assembled in one movie).
But, as much as anything, there is just an AURA about this film. They use light, and color, and music, to create something that FEELS like Halloween-at night, obviously, but also in the morning and the afternoon.None of the other Halloween movies-including the first-felt so much like the day itself. The daylight scenes have the feel of a beautiful, crisp autumnal day-you almost feel like you should have a candied apple in your hand as you watch. And the nocturnal scenes are so opaque and mysterious. The cat-and-mouse in the barn, the tragic encounter in the forest, the unforgettable final act at the Myers' house.........each of these scenes is imbued with a visual flair and artistry that set this film apart from anything else in the series.
John Carpenter created this brilliant framework, featuring a triangular hunt of sorts, with the Bogeyman stalking his victims, and Dr. Loomis stalking him........and all happening against the backdrop of Halloween. And, after part 2, Halloween 5 has been the only film in the series that would ever again truly do justice to this concept.
