Dir: John Carpenter | USA | 1978 | 92 mins

Cast | Jamie Lee Curtis, Donald Pleasence, Nancy Loomis, P. J. Soles

Back on screens in restored 4K, John Carpenter’s iconic slasher horror stars Oscar winner Jamie Lee Curtis (Everything Everywhere All at Once) in her film debut.

On a cold Halloween night in 1963, six-year-old Michael Myers brutally murdered his sister and is locked away. But on October 30, 1978, he escapes; returning to his quiet Illinois hometown and beginning to stalk his next victims, including teenage babysitter Laurie Strode (Curtis).

A brilliantly crafted film that spawned a whole horror franchise, Halloween is indisputably one of the greatest and most influential horrors ever made, meticulously playing off the uncanny dissonance between cosy small-town life and spine-tingling terror.
