Yeah, I guess I am guilty of using Friday the 13th generically. The original Halloween is a notch above. I have not yet seen Deep Red, except maybe in excerpts.

: Actually, John Carpenter has refered to HALLOWEEN as "my Argento movie". Listen to the score for DEEP RED and then listen to HALLOWEEN's score and it's obvious, plus the lighting, fluid camerawork, widescreen compositions, etc. etc. etc.
