1978
****
Director: John Carpenter
Cast: Jamie Lee Curtis, Donald Pleasance, Nancy Loomis, P.J. Soles, Nick Castle, Charles Cyphers, Kyle Richards, Brian Andrews, Nancy Stephens
Michael Myers, who killed his sister and her boyfriend when he was six years old (in the rightfully famous opening scene shot from a child's point of view) is on the prowl again during Halloween 15 years later. This impressive small budget horror film put director John Carpenter on the map, and it is spawning new sequels even today. Jamie Lee Curtis makes her big screen debut as a scream queen. Carpenter's synth soundtrack has become iconic. Followed by Halloween 2.
