Halloween Night Double Feature
Doctor X (1932)
directed by Michael Curtiz
rating: 4 out of 5 cravats
on DVD from the vaults
Halloween (1978)
directed by John Carpenter
rating: 5 out of 5 cravats
on DVD from the vaults
Over and beyond the usual superlatives for Dean Cundey's blue filter or Ray Rennahan's sickly two-strip fog, both movies' male protagonists - neither one of them their narratives' center - feel unusual for an assurance of action both careless and completely committed. And Sam Loomis, in his way, is that same intrepid and pure-hearted yellow journalist, from his toes to his sense of humor (though without, of course, Fay Wray).
