Gunslinger Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 A sad day for horror movie afficionados, yesterdays suicide bombings in Jordan resulted in the death of Moustapha Akkad, the producer of all 8 of the "Halloween" movies, orginally created by John Carpenter. Akkad and his daughter were staying in one of the hotels in Jordan attending a wedding of a family friend, both he and his daughter died as a result of their injuries. i dont know if anyone is around my age group, but the first time i saw the original "Halloween" was at the drive in, i was about 6 years old and it scared the hell out of me for months, probably the real first slasher film i ever saw, and started me down the dark road of horror film junkie:)lol, anyway, another cowardly act by terrorists takes the life of a innocent bystander, just fyi everyone.

Guest SouthernCelt Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Slinger....love the new avatar... Yeah, me too. "Outlaw Josey Wales" -- one of the best movies ever made. Bet I've watched it twenty times and never get tired of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the heck was he doing in Jordan? Did he live there? -mm as i recall, he was a resident of california but was attending a wedding of a close family friend, he is originally from jordan but moved to the u.s. because he couldnt make horror films in that country as freely as he would have liked, i think that was in the mid to late 60's if memory serves. Slinger....love the new avatar... :) thank you sir, came across some great pics of one of the best gunslingers of all time.:) Yeah, me too. "Outlaw Josey Wales" -- one of the best movies ever made. Bet I've watched it twenty times and never get tired of it. yep i hear ya, ive lost count of how many rainy nights or saturdays ive watched outlaw josey wales or pale rider or well.......just pick a clint eastwood western, they are all super cool. in my opinion, one of the original "Gunslingers" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
