Halloween (VHS, Blockbuster Presents Edition, 1997, John Carpenter)

John Carpenter’s Halloween is the film that defined a genre and introduced one of cinema’s most iconic villains. When Michael Myers escapes from a sanitarium fifteen years after murdering his sister, he returns to his quiet hometown of Haddonfield to begin a new killing spree on Halloween night.

Babysitter Laurie Strode, played by Jamie Lee Curtis in her breakout role, finds herself stalked by the masked killer as Dr. Loomis races to stop the terror.

With its haunting score, chilling atmosphere, and relentless suspense, Halloween remains one of the most influential horror films ever made — a true classic that still terrifies decades later.
