One of the best known, most beloved and most influential horror films of all times, “Halloween” was an independent film made on a modest budget of 300,000 dollars that went on to become one of the most commercially successful independent films ever made. Directed by John Carpenter and starring young Jamie Lee Curtis in her feature film debut, it pretty much initiated the slasher film genre and created many slasher horror tropes. It tells the tale of a runaway homicidal maniac who goes back to his hometown and starts a bloody killing spree. On Halloween 1963, in the fictional town of Haddonfield, Illinois, six year old Michael Myers kills his older sister with a kitchen knife. Exactly fifteen years later, now 21 year old Myers escapes the Grove Sanitarium, where he’s been incarcerated since the murder. He goes back to his Hometown wearing a blue jumpsuit and a white mask, and starts stalking a group of high school students, including Laurie Strode (Curtis). Suspecting that Myers might return to his hometown, his psychiatrist Dr. Samuel Loomis (Donald Pleasance) goes there and alerts the local sheriff. Meanwhile, Myers begins his killing spree by strangling Laurie’s best friend and sheriff’s daughter Annie, who has been babysitting just across the road from where Laurie was also babysitting for another family. The body count is up to three by the time Laurie begins to suspect there’s something wrong in the house across the street. By that time, Myers has her in his sights and she will have a hard time escaping the seemingly indestructible maniac.
