Entertainment Reviews:
John Carpenter's 1978 tour de force, perhaps the most widely imitated film of the 70s.

Chicago Reader
After a promising opening, Halloween becomes just another maniac-on-the-loose suspenser.

Variety
Carpenter obviously knows the genre well and he builds a properly terrifying atmosphere through his well-paced direction. It's an effective entry for its intended market.

Hollywood Reporter
On the one hand, the script needs work. On the other, the great technical achievements manage to give the story consistency and to repeatedly scare viewers. The end result is one of those attractive American B-movies. [Full Review in Spanish]

El Pais (Spain)
Carpenter's 1978 slasher classic has inspired a million imitations as well as sequels, but few that demonstrate so clearly that a disreputable genre movie can also be a pure, rigorous work of art.

...Carpenter's slasher is the original teen-scream flick...

Halloween is the ensuing American nightmare. It's the national boogeyman.

Product Description:
Perhaps the most influential and successful independent film ever made, HALLOWEEN is the movie that put director John Carpenter on the map as a viable filmmaker. An exercise in simple, pure horror, HALLOWEEN takes us into the world of a mad killer, Michael Myers, who at a very young age stabbed his older sister to death. Locked away for many years in a mental hospital Michael escapes one night and returns to his hometown to continue his killing spree. Jamie Lee Curtis, in her first role, plays the resourceful babysitter who is chased by the killer on Halloween night. Produced for very little money and a tight shooting schedule, HALLOWEEN was a stunning success when it was released. Written by John Carpenter and his longtime producer Debra Hill, the film set their careers on fire, with both of them working together many times over the next 25 years. The film also made a star out of Jamie Lee Curtis and turned the slasher movie into a viable, successful genre. HALLOWEEN has been copied, parodied and even turned into a franchise of its own, but the original is still considered the best of the bunch. HALLOWEEN was John Carpenter's first foray into horror, and remains the standard to which all other modern horror films are measured.
