ALL-TIME CLASSIC MOVIE FAVOURITES – HALLOWEEN (1978)

 

“Halloween” is a horror thriller, written by John Carpenter and Debra Hill and Directed by John Carpenter.

 

The movie begins on Halloween in 1963, when 6 year-old Michael Myers (Will Sandin) stabs his 15 year old sister Judith (Sandy Johnson) to death.

After being institutionalized for 15 years, Myers breaks out on the night before Halloween, and no one seems be too concerned that Myers' is heading back to Haddonfield, and that he’ll likely be there on October 31st 1978, except his psychiatrist, Dr. Loomis (Donald Pleasence).

But by the time the authorities of the town realize he’s heading for Haddonfield, Illinois to kill again, it may be too late for many of its inhabitants.

Jamie Lee Curtis, Nancy Loomis, P.J. Soles and Charles Cyphers star in what was undoubtedly the first of the slasher film, which has influenced almost every slasher film made since.
