The idea of the boogey-man, who is invinciple evil, is terrifying. A mad-man escapes from a prison hospital and comes back to the scene of his crime to wreck further havoc. Jamie Lee Curtis stands in his way and he stalks her. It is a terrifying flick.

Jamie Lee Curtis in her younger days being chased around by Michael Meyers ... great stuff! And if that wasn't enough, Donald Pleasance is also lurking around the sets in this classic.

a true cult movie with mood style and verry fun michael myeres chasing baby sitter laurie strode (jamie lee curtis)is a classic and scary scene that has been copied many times the whole movie changed the face of horror espeailly that scene

At the time it was the biggest Independant Film of all time. A true cult Film with,I might add,very little blood.

I love horror movies, but this one has never scared me for some strange reason. I always thought Michael Myers just looked like a giant porcelain doll.
