Perhaps
the
most
influential
and
successful
independent
film
ever
made,
HALLOWEEN
is
the
movie
that
put
director
John
Carpenter
on
the
map
as a
viable
filmmaker.
An
exercise
in
simple,
pure
horror,
HALLOWEEN
takes
us
into
the
world
of a
mad
killer,
Michael
Myers,
who
at a
very
young
age
stabbed
his
older
sister
to
death.
Locked
away
for
many
years
in a
mental
hospital
Michael
escapes
one
night
and
returns
to
his
hometown
to
continue
his
killing
spree.
Jamie
Lee
Curtis,
in
her
first
role,
plays
the
resourceful
babysitter
who
is
chased
by
the
killer
on
Halloween
night.
Produced
for
very
little
money
and
a
tight
shooting
schedule,
HALLOWEEN
was
a
stunning
success
when
it
was
released.
Written
by
John
Carpenter
and
his
longtime
producer
Debra
Hill,
the
film
set
their
careers
on
fire,
with
both
of
them
working
together
many
times
over
the
next
25
years.
The
film
also
made
a
star
out
of
Jamie
Lee
Curtis
and
turned
the
slasher
movie
into
a
viable,
successful
genre.
HALLOWEEN
has
been
copied,
parodied
and
even
turned
into
a
franchise
of
its
own,
but
the
original
is
still
considered
the
best
of
the
bunch.
HALLOWEEN
was
John
Carpenter's
first
foray
into
horror,
and
remains
the
standard
to
which
all
other
modern
horror
films
are
measured.
