A true horror classic, infamous director John Carpenter’s Halloween brought the wonderful villain of Michael Myers to life, terrorizing audiences for over 30 years now. And with the launch of Halloween Kills this October, we have provided an easy-to-understand history of one of the greatest horror movie franchises of all time.
Halloween (1978)
When the original Halloween hit the silver screen in 1978, it terrified audiences with its masterful tension and truly terrifying killer. The story was simple yet utterly effective. Fifteen years after murdering his sister on Halloween night in 1963, Michael Myers escapes from a mental hospital and returns to the small town of Haddonfield, Illinois to kill again. Alongside the instantly recognizable theme, this movie introduces us to Michael Myers as a sociopathic child who kills his older sister, for which he is committed to a sanitarium. At age 21 Myers escapes, in order to find his sister, Laurie Strode, played by the scream queen herself, Jamie Lee Curtis. Halloween instantly established itself as a true horror classic and would go on to influence numerous modern classics we know today.
Halloween 2 (1981)
