HALLOWEEN (1978)

On Halloween night in 1963, in the small town of Haddonfield, Illinois, six-year-old Michael Myers would murder his older sister Judith with a large knife in their home. He would be sent to Smith's Grove Sanitarium with Dr. Samuel Loomis being assigned to his case. Fifteen years later on October 30, 1978, Loomis and his colleague Marion Chambers would arrive at the sanitarium to escort Michael to a court hearing. They arrive only to discover all of the other inmates roaming around the yard in the rain. Concerned, Loomis exits the car to investigate, leaving Marion inside the car. Michael begins attacking Marion, stealing their car, and driving away into the night. On his way back to Haddonfield, Michael kills a mechanic for some overalls and steals some rope, some knives, and a Halloween mask from various local stores upon arriving in Haddonfield.

Meanwhile, on the morning of Halloween, 17-year-old Anthony Cunningham meets up with a young boy named Tommy Doyle, whom he'll be babysitting that night. Anthony leaves a key at Michael's abandoned childhood home as his father is trying to sell the property, unaware of Michael's presence inside. Michael begins stalking Anthony throughout the day, who notices, only believing it to be some kind of Halloween joke. Loomis soon arrives in Haddonfield in pursuit of Michael, meeting Deputy Frank Hawkins, whose son Malcolm is friends with Anthony. Later that night, they arrive at Michael's house, where Loomis continues to warn Hawkins of the impending danger. Hawkins is skeptical but agrees to help anyways, eventually leaving to patrol the streets while Loomis remains at the house, expecting Michael to eventually return.

Anthony soon arrives at Tommy's house to babysit while Malcolm babysits a young girl named Lindsey Wallace just across the street, unaware that Michael has followed them both. Michael begins watching Malcolm, even killing the Wallace family dog outside. Malcolm soon takes Lindsey over to Tommy's house so that he can go pick up his girlfriend Annie Brackett. Michael, having been hiding in the backseat of Malcolm's car, proceeds to strangle Malcolm before slitting his throat with a knife, killing him. Tommy looks out the window while playing a trick on Lindsey, seeing Michael with Malcolm's body walking back into Lindsey's house. Tommy freaks out, claiming to have seen "the boogeyman," only for Anthony to dismiss it as nothing.

Anthony and Malcolm's friend Ben Tramer would soon arrive at Lindsey's house with his girlfriend Dana Haines, finding the house empty. After having sex in an upstairs bedroom, Ben goes downstairs to grab a drink for Dana. Ben is attacked by Michael, who pins him to the wall with a stab to the chest, tilting his head as he observes the body. Michael then masquerades as Ben wearing a ghost costume, confronting Dana upstairs. Dana teases Michael, who's unfazed, frustrating Dana. Dana proceeds to call Anthony to ask about where Malcolm went, unaware that Michael has begun walking towards her. Michael proceeds to strangle Dana to death with the telephone wire just as Anthony picks up the phone, believing it to be some kind of joke. Meanwhile, Loomis spots the stolen car up the street, combing the streets upon realizing that Michael is nearby.

Curious, Anthony puts the kids to bed and goes to investigate the house across the street, finding the side door wide open. Anthony discovers his friend's bodies upstairs, cowering in a nearby corner in terror. Michael suddenly appears from the darkness and slashes Anthony's arm, causing him to fall over the staircase banister. Anthony manages to narrowly escape the house, racing back to Tommy's house. Anthony manages to wake up Tommy after realizing that he lost the keys to the house. Upon re-entering the house, Michael ambushes Anthony after having snuck in through an open window. Anthony manages to stab Michael in the neck with a knitting needle, seemingly killing him. Anthony goes to check on the kids, only to discover Michael still alive and in pursuit. The kids lock themselves in the bathroom while Anthony hides in a bedroom closet. Michael finds him, smashing through the wooden closet door. During the ensuing struggle, Michael drops his knife, allowing Anthony to stab him in the chest, seemingly killing Michael once again.

Anthony tells the kids to run over to a neighbor's house so that they can call the police, unaware that Michael has recovered. Loomis spots the kids running out of the house screaming and goes to investigate. Loomis finds Michael and Anthony fighting upstairs, proceeding to shoot Michael six times in the chest, knocking him out of a second-story window over a balcony. Loomis goes to check on Michael, finding his body missing. Unsurprised, Loomis stares into the night as Anthony sits in anguish. A montage of previous locations is shown with Michael's breathing being heard, indicating he could be anywhere.
