Halloween (1978 film)

Halloween is a 1978 American independent slasher horror film directed and scored by John Carpenter, co-written with producer Debra Hill, and starring Donald Pleasence and Jamie Lee Curtis in her film debut. The film was the first installment in what has become the Halloween franchise. The plot is set in the fictional Midwestern town of Haddonfield, Illinois. On Halloween night in 1963, a six-year-old Michael Myers dressed in a clown costume murders his older sister by stabbing her with a kitchen knife. Fifteen years later, Michael Myers, age 21, escapes from a psychiatric hospital, returns home, and stalks Laurie Strode and her friends. Michael's psychiatrist Dr. Sam Loomis suspects Michael's intentions, and follows him to Haddonfield to try to prevent him from killing.

Halloween was produced on a budget of $300,000 and grossed $47 million at the box office in the United States, and $70 million worldwide, equivalent to $250 million as of 2014, becoming one of the most profitable independent films. Many critics credit the film as the first in a long line of slasher films inspired by Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho (1960). Halloween had many imitators and originated several clichés found in low-budget horror films of the 1980s and 1990s. Unlike many of its imitators, Halloween contains little graphic violence and gore. It was one of the first horror films to introduce the concept of the killer dying and coming back to life again within the same film. In 2006, it was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". The famous mask of Michael Myers was in fact created from a store-bought Captain Kirk mask from Star Trek.

Halloween

by: French Wives

If we can pretend
This won’t break your heart
When we drift away
We won’t drift apart
Take this gift that I wrote
Take your hands from my throat
Lets play games where we both scream
You kill my hopes and kill my dreams
Hold me back I’ll stand alone
You poison my mind and you break all my bones
And one more time in our own way
When I can't face the world today
And at midnight we'll howl at the moon as the clock
strikes
And I kiss you under a severed head
And this Halloween feels more to me like the new year
So we should start again
You give me my space and you give me release
You give me my time and the things that I need
And one more trick that you’ll never miss
One for the list, you're depressed, I’m obsessed, call
it love nonetheless
And at midnight we'll howl at the moon as the clock
strikes
I kissed you under a severed head
And this Halloween feels more to me like the new year
So we should start again
And I have been exhausted since the moment we met
I can't retire my thoughts about you
And you were just a memory that we need to forget
You are the graveyard of ghosts I have used
And I have been exhausted since the moment we met
My eyes are tired from staring at you
And you were just a memory that we need to think of
You are the graveyard of ghosts I have used
If we can pretend
This won’t break your heart
When we drift away
