Michael Myers has spent the last 15 years locked away inside a sanitarium under the care of child psychiatrist Dr. Sam Loomis after brutally killing his sister, Judith. On the night of October 30, 1978, Myers escapes and makes his way back to Haddonfield – the night HE came home – turning a night of tricks and treats into something much more sinister for three young women, including Laurie Strode, the star-making role for Jamie Lee Curtis. This is THE slasher film and one of the greatest movies ever made. Featuring a live intro by Robert Rodriguez with behind-the-scenes stories he's heard straight from director John Carpenter.

PLUS! Stick around for a mystery second film programmed by Robert himself, to be announced on the night of the screening. Trust us - you won’t want to miss it!
