Is this a controversial opinion? I know Halloween is more famous, but the general consensus seems to be that The Thing is better. I think Halloween is a better horror movie.

>suspense thrilling isoltation
>dull slasher
they are not comparable
slashers are cancer of horror

Halloween is a masterpiece

The Thing is a better movie but Halloween is my favorite.

Pleb taste. Halloween was simply the first and you probably watched it as a child back when you were peeing yourself because you saw some scary contour of some object in your bedroom at night.
Patrician taste.

>alien whodunit
>suspenseful impending terror
they are not comparable

Both are shit

I think The Thing is the superior movie but they're very different from each other, nowadays I think it feels a bit dated.

They're both dated, but I think Halloween has aged better.

this user prefers gummy bears to apples

not as bad as this

The Thing is the superior movie.
Halloween is the superior film.

>blocks your path

>2 minute monologues of the doctor talking of pure evil while staring off into the distance

>not realizing those elevate the movie

>Halloween (1978)
>The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)

hmmm

Texas Chainsaw was less of a slasher and more defined by its environment than leatherface.

The Thing is my favourite of the two, but I acknowledge Halloween was ridiculously influential and reshaped horror movies for the next two decades, at least

Thing's definitely scarier.
I think Halloween was cheapened by all of the other slashers that tried to imitate it.

>Some unknown alien that can shapeshift and perfectly imitate humans
vs
>immortal retard with a knife
take your pick

did they rerecord his lines for the intro of h20 with someone else?

immortal retard is honestly a scarier concept to me
