It’s been 40 years since Laurie Strode survived a vicious attack
from crazed killer Michael Myers on Halloween night. Locked up in an
institution, Myers manages to escape when his bus transfer goes horribly wrong.
Laurie now faces a terrifying showdown when the masked madman returns to Haddonfield,

Halloween is directed by David Gordon Green from a screenplay he co-scribed with his frequent collaborator Danny McBride. The film stars Jamie Lee Curtis, Judy Greer, and Andi Matichak; the film was further bolstered by a throbbing soundtrack from John Carpenter that put a 21st Century spin on the classic score.
