Which 70s slasher horror classic do you think is better?
Halloween had a more convincing villain for me perhaps. We don't know the villain wants to murder people he just does. But in TCM, we have a co-conspiracy of brutal murderers who are into some very weird stuff, so I feel that maybe these villains warrant more explanation therefore, but we don't get it, compared to Halloween, where there is at least some explanation from the Loomis character.
On the other hand, Halloween is a bit awkward in the sex and nudity scenes, cause they actually show a whole intercourse scene before a couple is murdered and it was just strange and felt unnecessary. I also feel that the teen characters, were just not that interesting, and even though they are suppose to be average, they are perhaps too average.
Where as TCM doesn't care to have any sex or nudity and just focuses on the plot more, and is more taut as a result.
Halloween has a much better ending where was TCM's ending feels kind of anticlimatic.
I also like how Halloween makes no apologies for being fiction, where as TCM tried to shoehorn in that it was based on a true story, to attract audiences.
