This fake documentary investigates the deaths of 15 people at a haunted house as depicted through bone chilling found footage.
“A visceral experience—we aren’t seeing the movie, we’re having it happen to us... If you don’t want to have a really terrifying experience, don’t see Halloween.”—Roger Ebert
Masked knife-wielding maniac Michael Myers stalks a suburban babysitter (Curtis) on Halloween night in John Carpenter’s breakout commercial hit. Picking up where Psycho left off, this ultra-influential indie—made on a shoestring budget—is a master class in visceral suspense, generating sheer terror from shadowy lighting, framing that keeps the audience wondering what’s lurking just off screen, and Carpenter’s famously ominous, tinkling piano theme.
