Maybe John Carpenter is innocent of the murder of Bob Crane, but watching Halloween still still feels like listening to the music of Varg Vikerness, where maybe, just maybe, you feel like you're experiencing the utter emptiness of a dead soul.
That of course doesn't take anything away from the movie, cause if Halloween was legitimately the work of a sexual sadist psychopath, then it would only make it that much more a work of art.

TL;DR Varg and John Carpenter made some fantastic art in their day.
