Deff great analysis this is the first horor movie I saw at 7yrs old and Deff will say this Halloween was more like a thriller where there isn’t a lot of blood not that u need a whole bunch of blood they did something more unique and kept u on the edge of your seat with the theme music and the heavy breathing letting the people know u can’t see him but he may be close or right around the corner and u wouldn’t see him until mostly too late
