Halloween

Starting October 30

Director John Carpenter’s ORIGINAL 1970’s classic…the night HE came home! Villain Michael Myers returns 15 years after committing a grisly murder…and just in time for Halloween. Jamie Lee Curtis, in her film debut, plays a babysitter who is stalked by Myers. A sleeper hit at the box office, this thriller inspired a whole series of horror pictures featuring teenagers in peril. (“You can’t kill the boogeyman.”)

1978

Rated R  

Classic, trend-setting horror from John Carpenter. There's almost no gore in this one; all the bloody violence is confined to the opening scene. From the Criterion laserdisc.
