The father of the modern slasher! Halloween spawned a successful film franchise, and my personal favorite. It has a human quality that other slasher series like Nightmare and Friday are devoid of.

Michael Myers is what makes this work, and that's all it needs...

...but it's nice to have Jamie Lee Curtis, Donald Pleasance, and John Carpenter as director.
