That's right! John Carpenter's "HALLOWEEN" started the slasher film tradition that lasted for more than a decade. I know that before HALLOWEEN, there is "Black Christmas", and "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre", but this was the movie that worked and was a major hit.
THE plot : A young Michael Myers knifed to death his 23 year old sister on a Halloween night. Years later, Michael (as a grown up) returns to Haddonfield and that's when things start to get spooky. To make the plot simple : It's Halloween nigh 1978, Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) is baby sitting but little does she knows that Michael Myers is in the town looking for her. But she's not alone, at her side it's Dr. Sam Loomis (Donald Pleasence) who is in the search for Myers since he escaped from Smith Grove -the hospital where he was locked after murdering his sister-.
Loomis is obsessed with Myers and if necessary he will give his life in order to catch Myers. That means : Halloween night will become a hunt for Myers, while he is stalking baby sitters. So, Halloween night on Haddonfield is about this : Loomis and the local policemen are in the hunt for Myers while he is stalking women. Sounds fun eh? You'll have to check out the shocking ending, stuff for legend!.
The plot marks a rule in horror movies : We have a stalker, and a virgin heroine. The spinal cord of the movie is Pleasence's character, he knows everything about Myers, and he's the only one that can stop him from commiting brutal murders.
HALLOWEEN set the rules for slasher movies, it's a scary movie, and it can be considered as one of the 20 best horror movies of all time. What can I say about acting? Pleasence and Curtis give the best performance by 2 lead actors in a horror movie, no doubt about it!.
If you haven't seen this movie, YOU SHOULD , and prepare to be scared!! Halloween night can be everyday.
