The Halloween franchise is a series of slasher films that began in 1978 with the release of the original movie directed by John Carpenter. The story follows Michael Myers, a masked killer who escapes from a mental institution and returns to his hometown of Haddonfield, Illinois, to stalk and kill unsuspecting teenagers. The film is credited with popularizing the slasher genre and has since become one of the most enduring and influential horror franchises in cinema history.
