The Big Picture When Alfred Hitchcock directed Psycho in 1960, he was responsible, along with Michael Powell's Peeping Tom the same year, for creating the slasher film as we know it today. Though one of the most influential horror films ever made, Psycho didn't exactly create a wave of copycats right after. 18 years later, however, John Carpenter made a little slasher movie as well, called Halloween.
Release Date October 27, 1978 Director John Carpenter Cast Donald Pleasence , Jamie Lee Curtis , Tony Moran , Nancy Kyes , P.J.
'Halloween's Dr. Samuel Loomis Is Named After a Character in 'Psycho' Close One of the other leads in Psycho is a character named Sam Loomis . Loomis is Marion Crane's boyfriend and the catalyst for the film's events. When Marion finds out how much debt Sam is in, she decides to rob her employer, thinking that if Sam's debts are settled, they can then get married. When she flees, she decides to stop at the Bates Motel.
'Halloween H20' Honored 'Psycho' With a Fun Easter Egg It's not just Dr. Loomis who gets his name from a Hitchcock film. The boy Laurie Strode is babysitting, Tommy Doyle , has the same name as a character from Hitchcock's Rear Window named Tom Doyle. Still, Halloween pays tribute to Alfred Hitchcock in more ways than just actors and character names, but also in the film itself.
