Andrew Shares a Term Paper He Wrote on His Fav Horror Film: John Carpenter's "Halloween"

Andrew: Hello readers! Sarah and I feel bad about how I was a screw-up yesterday and forgot to print off my tickets to see Paranormal Activity 4, thus leaving us without a review to post today. So I got to thinking about how Halloween is coming up in less than 2 weeks and how John Carpenter's Halloween is my absolute favorite horror film of all-time. Then I remembered I had written a couple of term papers about Carpenter's classic while studying at Central Michigan University and I decided it might be kind of cool to share the term paper I wrote for my Modern Horror Films class!

So posted below, word for word, is the term paper I wrote on John Carpenter's Halloween. I wrote this all the way back on March 31, 2008 (literally a day before I turned 21), and while it's not perfect, I find it a fun and neat little representation of who I was four and half years ago and a way to share my appreciation for a classic film.

Because it was a term paper, it's broken up into segments that my professor made mandatory, so that explains the way it's structured. We also had minimum and maximum lengths, hence the lengths of some of the sections/paragraphs. So click on to read my term paper after the jump, and we hope you all enjoy this blast from the past, and absolutely let us know what you think of it!
