More About the Halloween Franchise
Considered to be one of the most successful and iconic horror franchises, the Halloween franchise got its start on Oct. 25, 1978 when Carpenter’s Halloween first debuted in cinemas and on drive-in screens nationwide. Written by Carpenter and Hill, the film depicts what would be dubbed “The Babysitter Murders” and centers around Michael Myers, who after being locked away for the past 15 years inside a sanitarium under the care of child psychiatrist Dr. Sam Loomis after brutally killing his sister, escapes on the night before Halloween and returns to the fictional Haddonfield, Illinois. Halloween marked the film debut of Jamie Lee Curtis, who took on the role of Laurie Strode, one of the young women targeted on Halloween night.
Halloween became one of the most profitable independent films of all time and went on to spawn 12 additional movies to date – Halloween II, Halloween III: Season of the Witch, Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers, Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers, Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers, Halloween H20: 20 Years Later, Halloween: Resurrection, Halloween (2007), Halloween II (2009), Halloween (2018), Halloween Kills, and Halloween Ends.
