Halloween Summary Fifteen Years Ago, Michael Myers Brutally Murdered His Sister. Now, After Escaping From A Mental Hospital, He's Back To Relive His Grisly Crime Again, And Again...and Again. This Is Halloween Like You've Never Seen Or Heard It Before! Halloween Has Been Fully Restored Under The Supervision Of Lucasfilm's Thx Digital Mastering Services. The Dvd Was Transferred By The Award-winning Colorist Adam Adams (terminator 2, Titanic) From A New 35mm Interpositive (made From The Original Camera Negative) And Approved By The Film's Cinematographer Dean Cundey (jurassic Park, Who Framed Roger Rabbit). The New Dolby Digital 5.1 Soundtrack Was Created By Chace Productions In Association With Alan Howarth Using The Original 16-track Music Studio Master And The Recently Discovered Original 35mm Magnetic Dialogue And Effects Tracks.

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. --Robert Horton
