23: Halloween (1978)

Bring Me The Axe! concludes its exploration of the Halloween legacy just in time for Halloween with an epic-length love letter to John Carpenter, Debra Hill, and their landmark creation. Halloween represents a major paradigm shift in horror movie and sets the pace for every horror movie that came in its wake. It's elegant. Every piece of the production is working in perfect harmony with the other pieces. The end-product is greater than the sum of its parts. It is a perfect horror movie and it's not surprising in the least that everyone is still obsessed with it.
