Halloween (1978), directed by John Carpenter, is a seminal horror film that helped define the slasher genre. The film follows Michael Myers, a masked killer who, as a child, murdered his sister and escapes from a mental institution 15 years later to return to his hometown of Haddonfield.
On Halloween night, he stalks and terrorizes teenager Laurie Strode (played by Jamie Lee Curtis in her breakout role) and her friends.
One of the most striking elements of Halloween is its minimalist approach. Carpenter, who also composed the haunting and iconic score, created an atmosphere of tension and dread using simple but effective cinematography, particularly through the use of point-of-view shots and shadowy lighting.
The film’s low-budget production also helped cement its gritty, raw feel, making Michael Myers an embodiment of pure evil with his featureless mask and silent, relentless nature.
The film was a massive success and spawned numerous sequels, remakes, and reboots, solidifying Michael Myers as one of the most famous villains in horror history. 
Its influence on subsequent slasher films, such as Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street, is undeniable, making Halloween a classic that continues to be a key reference point in horror cinema.
