Premise

Fifteen years after murdering his sister on Halloween night 1963, Michael Myers escapes from a mental hospital and returns to the small town of Haddonfield, Illinois, to kill again.

Our take

These are just two reasons why I believe that Halloween is pretty much a perfect movie. I honestly could go on and on, but I think I'll stop there. I'm sure you get the idea, and we have many more movies to get to this month.
