[edit] Okay, I just want to say something:

Is it just me, or is the narration behind this article EXCEEDINGLY...informal? I hesitate to use the word "informal" because it goes so much further than that (note the use of the onomatopoeia "BANG BANG"). It's almost embarrasingly bad, and I think it's in desperate need of revision. I haven't seen the movie, so I can't really edit it with any confidence that I'd get anything right, but if anyone has and is willing, I think we'd all appreciate a good fix-up here. --Chef Brian 02:18, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

That it's informal or in need of revision isn't the problem. The problem is that it's blatantly stolen from a Web site called DVD Verdict.

The user "Downunder67" appears to be the culprit, and it's not his only offense. A couple minutes of clicking through his contribution history shows that he copied large portions of this page into the entry on [Margaret Urlich]. The change was reverted just a few hours ago.

I'm going to undo "Downunder67's" additions now. 68.50.200.15 02:24, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia for THIS movie

I am sorry, but the triva section looks like it was cut and pasted from the remake's wiki page. Wouldn't it be better to say something like "In the remake there is a long persuit through the house" and "The remake focuses on the one night with Jill, excluding the events of later years" rather than "in the original" since this IS the original? {sorry, I forgot to add} Also, can we add something about how "Black Christmas" and "Halloween" were all orginally connected to this project?Pixiestix 23:33, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What the ...

I just saw the movie and could make no head or tail of it. I read this article and it doesn't seem to match the movie at all. What the hell is going on? ReluctantPhilosopher (talk) 19:14, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
