An annual Frida tradition continues with John Carpenter and Debra Hills’ landmark slasher Halloween, also playing as part of our Halloween Hangover Week series this November!
Fifteen years after murdering his sister on Halloween night 1963, Michael Myers escapes from a mental hospital and returns to the small town of Haddonfield, Illinois to kill again.
Halloween is a seminal film in not just the horror genre, but was a pioneering influence on low budget cinema entirely. Its legacy endures almost 50 years later, making it an essential watch for any movie fan! There have been many sequels and imitators, but nothing beats the original.
