ALL ABOUT MOVIE - A SYNOPSIS:

Halloween Night - 1963: On a cold Halloween night in 1963 Haddonfield, Illinois, Judith Myers is at home on Halloween night spending the evening with her boyfriend Daniel Hodges. The couple eventually go upstairs as Judith's younger brother Michael enters the house wearing a clown costume. He goes into the kitchen and gets a butcher knife out of a drawer, then hides in the living room until he sees Daniel leave. Michael walks upstairs where he finds his discarded clown mask and puts it on. He goes into Judith's bedroom as she brushes her hair in front of a mirror. He surprises her and begins stabbing her repeatedly, until she falls to the floor and dies. Michael then walks out of the room, down the stairs and out of the house, where a shocked Peter and Edith Myers arrive home, finding their son holding a bloody butcher knife. Mr. Myers pulls the mask off of Michael's head which reveals his blank and expressionless face.

Fifteen years later:

On October 30, 1978, Doctor Samuel Loomis and nurse Marion Chambers drive to Smith's Grove Sanitarium. They are charged with transferring their patient, 21-year-old Michael, from the hospital to the Hardin County courthouse so he can stand trial for murdering Judith. As they approach the main gate, they notice several of the patients outside wandering about in the rain. Loomis gets out of the car to check the gate, leaving Marion by herself. Michael Myers appears and leaps atop Marion's car. He reaches inside to grab her, and Marion guns the vehicle. She brings it to a quick stop however and exits the car. Michael jumps inside and drives off.

The next day (Halloween), in Haddonfield, high school student Laurie Strode leaves her house and begins walking to school. Her father, a realtor, asks her to drop a key off at the Myers house. Along the way, she comes upon young Tommy Doyle, whom Laurie frequently babysits. She has plans to look after him on Halloween night. As Tommy launches a barrage of questions at Laurie, she turns to drop the key off at the Myers house. Tommy warns her that it is a "spook house". She slips the key through the mail slot, but there is someone inside the house staring through the window at her. Laurie doesn't notice the strange "shape" peering back at her, but it keeps a close eye on her as she continues walking to school.

At Smith's Grove, Loomis argues with hospital administrator Terence Wynn. He blames him for allowing someone like Michael to escape. Wynn doesn't understand how he could have orchestrated such a break out, citing that he doesn't even know how to drive a car. Loomis retorts with, "He was doing very well last night!" Loomis knows exactly where Michael is going to Haddonfield. At Haddonfield Elementary School, a group of bullies antagonize the smaller Tommy Doyle. They circle around the boy (who is carrying a pumpkin) and begin chanting "The Boogeyman is going to get you." Tommy, scared, turns to run, but falls and smashes his pumpkin. The kids take off running, one of whom has a chance encounter with the Shape. The Shape, in reality Michael Myers, gets into the car he had stolen from the hospital and shadows Tommy Doyle.
