hello everyone now im gonna write about one of my favorite thrillers but its also a horror as well. Halloween, at the age of ten a young boy by the name of micheal myers butchers hes older sister to death with a kitchen knife. after this incident micheal myers is sent to a mental asylum where he sits there never saying a word for over 15 years. micheal gets transferred to another asylum. whilst he is in the car he manages to escape and starts going on a great massacre. hes first victim is a workman in hes overalls micheal kills him and takes hes overalls and amazing knows how to drive after never going outside since the age of ten. micheal later on goes and gets a mask to wear. this mask is a plain white mask that takes the shape of the face. this is where a young girl by the name of laurie strode (actress jamie lee curtis) during her day she relises she is being followed by someone. a few minutes later the masked man can be seen by laurie waiting for her on the pathway. laurie tells her friend that she see a masked man and they go to look to there surprise no one was there. as the film gets on micheal proceeds to kill laurie but kills all of her friends in the process. by the time the film ends micheal has been stabbed in the eye stabbed a few times shot three times and falls out of a bedroom windoe and lands on his back. the police man who shoots micheal goes to see if micheal needed finishing off only to find out he had got up and gone.
the closing line to the film is
laurie: whats the boogeyman
policeman: he is the boogeyman

pretty coll isnt it if you wanna know why micheal is pursuing lorry you will need to watch the second one which i will also write about this is easily a thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seet and you will fimd about 30 seconds of footage in the whole film where tension is not being built.
