Psycho and Black Christmas were oddities in the thriller genre. Until one very tall man stole a tan station wagon and drove it Haddonfield to steal a featureless white mask from the general store, walk slowly with a butcher knife, and steal headstones. And thus was cinema changed forever. Director: John Carpenter Writers: John Carpenter and Debra Hill Stars: Jamie Lee Curtis, Donald Pleasance, and Tony Moran Talking Points: All nurses should have capes Station wagons and bellbottoms Setting and place setting Annie - A flannel bi?

Loomis diagnoses you with a case of medical evil Laurie - Haddonfield's only good babysitter Can you gaslight a child about a thing you've already tries to tell other people about?
