Halloween (1978) – The Night He Came Home
Episode Description:
It all started here. One small town, one masked man, and one Halloween night that would change horror forever. In 1978, John Carpenter introduced the world to Michael Myers—a silent, unstoppable force of evil who returned home to Haddonfield to finish what he started.
This week, we’re peeling back the layers of the original slasher blueprint—where fear was simple, suspense was sharp, and silence was the scariest sound of all. From that haunting piano score to Laurie Strode’s fight to survive, Halloween remains the purest nightmare ever put on film.
