It was "The Night HE Came Home," warned the posters for John Carpenter's career-making horror smash. In Haddonfield, IL, on Halloween night 1963, six-year-old Michael Myers inexplicably slaughters his teenage sister. His psychiatrist Dr. Loomis (Donald Pleasence) can't penetrate Michael's psyche after years of institutionalization, but he knows that, when Myers escapes before Halloween in 1978, there is going to be hell to pay in Haddonfield. While Loomis heads to Haddonfield to alert police, Myers spots bookish teenager Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) and follows her, constantly appearing and vanishing as Laurie and her looser friends Lynda (P.J. Soles) and Annie (Nancy Loomis) make their Halloween plans. By nightfall, the responsible Laurie is doing her own and Annie's babysitting jobs, while Annie and Lynda frolic in the parent-free house across the street. But Annie and Lynda are not answering the phone, and suspicious Laurie heads across the street to the darkened house to see what is going on.... Lucia Bozzola, Rovi

I wrote a review for The Texas Chainsaw Massacre in which I confirmed that it was a horror movie I watched when I was growing up, but it is not the only one. Halloween has been one of my favorite scary movies since I was probably just nine years old. Like most of the horror films I saw back then, it scared me out of my wits because I was a scaredy-cat when I was little. But not unlike many of them, I loved it! Michael Myers dons a white mask that will always be one of the scariest masks I have ever ever seen any horror movie killer wearing! Teenager Laurie Strode and her friends would all be happier if they were doing something more exciting tonight for Halloween since it is October 31st, 1978. But unfortunately, they are all just babysitting. What is more unfortunate, however, is that a particularly unwelcome visitor to their neighborhood will erase their boredom in a truly hair-raising way: He will use a butcher knife to make this a Halloween to die for! He is a psychotic killer who has escaped from a mental hospital 15 years after killing his sister when he was just six years old. John Carpenter created a masterful horror movie that is a brilliant, unnerving exercise in suspense, terror, and stylish, spectacular filmmaking! This Halloween, do not miss the chance to let a true master of horror give you some creepy tricks and treats you will never forget!
