92 mins - United States 1978
Director: John Carpenter
Starring: Jamie Lee Curtis, Donald Pleasance and Nancy Loomis
Michael Myers escapes from the Illinois State Mental Hospital after 15 years’ treatment for
the murder of his sister and is returning to Haddonfield to relive the crime. Michael sets
about systematically killing his prey while Dr. Loomis searches for a clue that will lead him to
Michael. What follows is a reign of terror. John Carpenter’s HALLOWEEN was the horror
movie sensation of the late 1970s, becoming one of the most successful independent
movies of all time and spawning many sequels, remakes and imitations, but few capture the
quality of the original.
“Continues to be very very scary...well worth another look on the big screen.” The
Guardian
