The Big Picture In the early 1990s, as one Hollywood phenom began to fall, another one was rising. And for a brief moment, they crossed paths. John Carpenter's Halloween is one of the most influential horror films ever made. It may not be the first slasher movie ever made, but it popularized the subgenre and gave way to the slasher boom of the 1980s. After five movies, each worse than the one before, the franchise started off the decade on life support.
Release Date October 27, 1978 Director John Carpenter Cast Donald Pleasence , Jamie Lee Curtis , Tony Moran , Nancy Kyes , P.J. Soles Writers John Carpenter , Debra Hill The Franchise Was in a Bad State After 'Halloween: The Revenge of Michael Myers' The first Halloween, released in 1978, set the template of the classic slasher.
Many fans didn't like the shocking twist, with even Quentin Tarantino telling Consequence in 2019 that it was a horrible idea that ruined the franchise, adding, "I think they just yanked some idea out of their ass, alright, and they just talked themselves into 'Hey, well, this is why…' and now part two has a reason." This choice left the Halloween franchise stuck creatively.
