  This was the origin of almost every "trope" we now associate with slashers. And it was the first movie to combine all the elements that now seem cliche because they were imitated SO much. This is one of my favorite movies of all time.

  At least Jamie Lee&apos;s character had a reason for the slow running and tripping.<br>The fall down the stairwell supposedly damaged her leg.

  Dr. Loomis&apos;s role was to fill us with a sense of deep apprehension about Michael before the climax of the film. &nbsp;We have to assume that at one point Dr. Loomis was a totally buttoned-up aloof professional criminal psychologist who had dealt with a great many deranged and psycho patients before Michael came into his care. &nbsp;But he saw something in Michael over his many years studying him that so utterly unnerved him that he came to refer to him as &quot;it&quot; and &quot;evil&quot; -- hardly clinically correct terminology -- and drove him to purchase and carry a firearm. &nbsp;By the time we meet him here, he&apos;s developed an almost superstitious dread of Michael, seeming to perceive a supernatural demonic quality in him (which is ultimately vindicated, as he proves to be inhumanly strong and perhaps invincible).

  Michael is kept in the shadows on purpose to enhance the suspense. &nbsp;Always on the edge of the shot.. making you think he&apos;s somewhere close.

  You were right on the money. Halloween was the first “slasher kills slutty teens” movie. Setting the stage for horror movies of the future.

  The greatest horror score of all-time. Absolutely haunting.

  It was Jamie Lee Curtis&apos;s first film! They didn&apos;t plan on making a second one, The breathing at the end was to symbolize that evil never dies. However, it was such a big success that people wanted another. So, in 1981 we have the second one which was a direct continuation of the first one. Sidenote: Her mother Janet Leigh was Marion Crane in Psycho.

  John Carpenter the Director wrote the music. Assault on Precinct 13 1976. &nbsp; Carpenter directed and wrote the music. &nbsp; Very enjoyable. &nbsp; His 1987 movie The Prince Of Darkness is an excellent horror movie.
