The original 1978 release of HALLOWEEN is one of the greatest horror movies of all time and is presented here in a special BLOCKBUSTER home video presentation. Despite a budget of only $320,000, HALLOWEEN succeeds where many other horror movies of its day fell far short. It's both a tribute to many horror predessecors and a highly suspenseful thriller that spawned a generation of successors, sequels and imitators.
On Halloween night in 1963, six year old Michael Myers brutally murdered his sister in the small town of Haddonfield Illinois. Now, 15 years later, he has escaped from a mental institution to reek havoc amongst the trick or treaters. Jaime Lee Curtis stars in her first role as Laurie Strode and is pursued by Michael Myers throughout the entire movie. Donald Pleasance plays Dr. Sam Loomis (Michael Myers doctor) and warns Haddonfield Police of Michael's return. Hesitant to believe the wild accusation Dr. Loomis must hunt Michael down before he can do anymore harm. Halloween will scare and delight you at the same time. The music score for Halloween is still creepy almost 25 years later and is synonymous with the movie. It's a classic movie to watch anytime but especially as October 31st approaches. If you only see one horror movie in your entire lifetime, see this absolute classic, HALLOWEEN.
