Halloween

On Halloween night in 1963, six-year-old Michael Myers murders his teenage sister and is committed to a psychiatric hospital. Fifteen years later, Michael escapes and returns to his hometown of Haddonfield, Illinois, where he begins stalking high school student Laurie Strode and her friends. As psychiatrist Dr. Sam Loomis desperately searches for him, an ordinary Halloween night turns into a terrifying fight for survival. John Carpenter’s landmark horror film helped define the modern slasher and introduced one of the genre’s most enduring villains.
