After stabbing his sister to death and then being institutionalized for 15 years, Michael Meyers (Tony Moran) escapes and returns to the scene of the crime for some more good old fashion killing on, you guessed it, Halloween. His psychiatrist Dr. Loomis (Donald Pleasence) is in hot pursuit while Michael spends the day trailing teenager Laurie (Jamie Lee Curtis) and her friends Lynda (P.J. Soles) and Annie (Nancy Kyes) around their Illinois town. Laurie has no date for Halloween and takes a baby sitting job while her friends plan on a night of frolic in the house across the street. Laurie spends a quiet evening–until she becomes suspicious and heads across the street to the dark party house. Terrifying! This low budget film spawned several sequels.
