The original stalker/slasher teen film, "Halloween" was released in 1978 and followed by numerous sequels. It is the definative horror series for many fans, and I personally like it better than the Nightmare on Elm Street an Friday the 13th series, which rely more on shock value than good story-telling. |

The mask Myers used was really a William Shatner mask spray-painted white. |

Nick Castle played the masked Michael Myers. Tony Moran played Michael for a brief second when he gets his masked ripped off. |

Jamie Lee Curtis was the daughter of Janet Leigh, of Psycho fame. There are a few tributes to Psycho in this film; watch for them. |
