The undisputed touchstone of cinematic horror, John Carpenter's Halloween has been admired and imitated for over 30 years. Original masked monster and enfant terrible Michael Myers continues to haunt the zeitgeist as one of the most terrifying and misunderstood creations since Mary Shelly's Frankenstein. On October 31, 1963 Police attend a disturbance at the seemingly quiet neighbourhood of Lampkin Lane, Haddonfield and discover 11 year-old Judith Myers lying in a pool of her own blood. Stabbed to death by her 6 year-old brother Michael, victim of a devastating fratricide, with ripples felt by an entire community, a legacy of terror begins. Institutionalized for 15 years, Michael breaks out to fulfil his insatiable bloodlust. The only person who understands the murderer behind the mask is psychiatrist Dr. Sam Loomis (Donald Pleasence). He knows Michael is coming back to Haddonfield to wreak havoc once more, for tonight the residents of Lampkin Lane live and die in the long dark shadow of Halloween. (Umbrella Entertainment)
