Halloween (1978) Directed by: John Carpenter Starring: Donald Pleasence Jamie Lee Curtis Length: 91 minutes Rating: R
Halloween is not only one of my favorite movies, but it also is the best horror movie ever created. Made in 1978, this movie was criticized for too much violence. I laughed when I heard that comment. The first question that came to my head was: "What violence?" Unlike most horror movies and horror movie sequels today, this movie had only 1 scene where you even saw any blood.
The movie was directed by John Carpenter. He is a huge fan of Alfred Hitchcock and some of Hitchcock's techniques are used in this movie.

The movie is about a man or 'monster' named Michael Myers. After killing his sister on Halloween when he was only a child, he escapes from an institution where he was to remain for the rest of his life. He comes back to his childhood town of Haddonfield, Illinois after 15 years of being confined to the institution.
Dr. Samuel Loomis (Donald Pleasence) is in charge of finding Michael and bringing him back to the institution. Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) is a teenager in Haddonfield and is in high school. She also babysits as a job. The night is Halloween. Michael Myers has returned. Who will stand in his path? -Pat
