It’s October and time to revisit some spooky movies, starting with the original Halloween movie from 1978. I’ve compiled a list of interesting things you didn’t know about the original Halloween movie.

On a cold Halloween night in 1963, six year old Michael Myers brutally murdered his 17-year-old sister, Judith. He was sentenced and locked away for 15 years. But on October 30, 1978, while being transferred for a court date, a 21-year-old Michael Myers steals a car and escapes Smith’s Grove. He returns to his quiet hometown of Haddonfield, Illinois, where he looks for his next victims.

Jamie Lee Curtis, Donald Pleasence, P. J. Soles and Nick Castle as Michael Myers in John Carpenter’s classic Halloween horror movie.
