Halloween (1978)
"You've got to believe me Officer, he's coming to Haddonfield." -Dr. Loomis
Considered one of the best horror films of all time, John Carpenter's Halloween has held it's power for over twenty years. Anyways, Halloween opens with a little boy, all dressed up in his Halloween costume. The little boy creeps upstairs, armed with a big huge butcher knife, and enters his sister's bedroom. Upstairs with her boyfriend, he enters the room, brutally butchering her to death.
Then, ten years later, the day before Halloween, Michael escapes from the mental institution in which he has been locked up in for a decade, in search of his half sister, Laurie Strode. With Dr. Loomis, one of the doctors at the hospital, hot on his tracks, he ends up following him to Haddonfield, Illinois, a quiet suburban town, the town where Michael murdered his sister ten years ago.
In the meantime, we're meeting Laurie Strode, a good girl type of teenager, and her spunky friends Lynda and Annie, having a good time. But little does Laurie know, Michael has been watching her all day, following her every move, armed with his trusty knife.
Laurie's plans for Halloween night are babysitting, figuring she can talk on the phone with Annie, who is also sitting across the street. But Michael plans to turn Laurie's laid-back evening into a night of terror, as he stalks her and her group of friends, slaughtering them one by one.
Starring a very young Jamie Lee Curtis, Donald Pleasance, PJ Soles, and Nancy Kyes. I don't want to spoil this one for you, it is a classic and you really have to see it for yourself, but I can say that this movie definetely made a big mark in the history of films. Halloween definetely made it's mark in the industry of cinema, and is still probably the most known horror film in history. Not only is it so famous, it is also considered the highest grossing independent film of all time.
