Halloween is as pure and undiluted as its title. In the small town of Haddonfield, Illinois,
a teenage baby sitter tries to survive a Halloween night of relentless terror, during which a
knife-wielding maniac goes after the town's hormonally charged youths.
Director John Carpenter takes this simple situation and orchestrates a superbly mounted
symphony of horrors. It's a movie much scarier for its dark spaces and ominous camera
movements than for its explicit bloodletting (which is actually minimal). Composed by
Carpenter himself, the movie's freaky music sets the tone; and his script
(cowritten with Debra Hill) is laced with references to other horror pictures, especially Psycho.
The baby sitter is played by Jamie Lee Curtis, the real-life daughter of Psycho victim Janet Leigh;
and the obsessed policeman played by Donald Pleasence is named Sam Loomis, after
John Gavin's character in Psycho. In the end, though, Halloween stands on its own as
an uncannily frightening experience--it's one of those movies that had audiences literally
jumping out of their seats and shouting at the screen. ("No! Don't drop that knife!")
Produced on a low budget, the picture turned a monster profit, and spawned many
sequels, none of which approached the 1978 original. Curtis returned for two more
installments: 1981's dismal Halloween II, which picked up the story the day after the
unfortunate events, and 1998's occasionally gripping Halloween H20, which proved
the former baby sitter was still haunted after 20 years.

Explicitly bloody sequel is as bad as any of HALLOWEEN's countless clones,
with maniac continuing to stalk Curtis on the same night on which the original ends.
The nightmare of Halloween continues in this chilling sequel.
The knife-wielding psychotic left for dead in the original film returns with a thirst for vengeance.

Starring: Anthony Perkins

For all the slasher pictures that have ripped off Psycho (and particularly its classic set piece, the "shower scene"), nothing has ever matched the impact of the real thing. More than just a first-rate shocker full of thrills and suspense, Psycho is also an engrossing character study in which director Alfred Hitchcock skillfully seduces you into identifying with the main characters--then pulls the rug (or the bathmat) out from under you. Anthony Perkins is unforgettable as Norman Bates, the mama's boy proprietor of the Bates Motel; and so is Janet Leigh as Marion Crane, who makes an impulsive decision and becomes a fugitive from the law, hiding out at Norman's roadside inn for one fateful night.

Starring: Jamie Lee Curtis

Twenty years after the killings in HALLOWEEN, Laurie Strode (Curtis) has built a new life for herself and her son, but her psychotic brother Michael Myers is after her again with a big sharp knife. Surprisingly good belated sequel is plenty scary, and has a nice sense of humor (note Leigh's car). Curtis, who suggested this project, gives a terrific performance.

Starring:Drew Barrymore, Courteney Cox

A murderer, obsessed with horror movies, begins slaughtering teens in a small city just a year after Campbell's mother was murdered--and the killer seems to be targeting people she knows. Well-drawn characters, suspenseful situations, several plot twists and entertaining movie references highlight this snappy horror thriller, one of Craven's best. Henry Winkler appears unbilled. Followed by a sequel. Panavision
