Halloween
Dir.: John Carpenter | Scr.:John Carpenter, Debra Hill | Cast: Donald Pleasence, Jamie Lee Curtis, Tony Moran
Fifteen years after murdering his older sister on Halloween night, Michael Myers escapes from a mental institution and returns to the small town of Haddonfield to kill again.
A landmark in the horror genre, the film helped establish “slasher” as a subgenre and became one of the most profitable independent productions of all time: made on a budget of $325,000, it grossed over $70 million worldwide. John Carpenter’s masterful direction, his unforgettable score, and Jamie Lee Curtis—making her film debut and soon to be crowned “Scream Queen”—were all key to the film’s success. Halloween spawned a franchise of 13 films, along with a series of video games and comic books. In 2006, it was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress.
