Halloween (1978)
Dir: John Carpenter

A mental patient escapes from an institution that has held him for 15 years and returns to his home town to kill again.
Chilling horror film that is worthy of its status as a classic of the genre. Despite endless sequels and copycats this still stands up as a powerful and brilliantly made film. The atmosphere and style is superb, with strong performances and classy direction.
