A psychological ‘trip inside the mind’

    “Halloween” is an instant classic, even compared to the original circa 1978. 
    This is Rob Zombie’s third silver screen release generated to appeal to the masses. 
    “Halloween” is a trip inside the mind of a pathologically disturbed young boy that you see progress into the man with black eyes behind the mask, Michael Myers. 
    Taking place in Haddonfeild, Ill., this is a portrayal of the perfect storm of a killer. 
    It is a must see for Criminal Justice and Psychology majors, or anyone who can remember when scary movies were good. 
    This movie is not recommended for children or the faint of heart. 
    And it is just in time for the Halloween season. The best part of the whole movie is that it is only the beginnings of the classic “Halloween” series. I give it an A.
    Thank you, Rob.
