Potluck and Movie Night-"Halloween"-the original 1978 version.

Come at 5:30 for Late fall meal, potluck with "FALL" as the theme of what your bring. Feel free to wear costumes. I will show the movie Halloween. A good scary cheesy Halloween movie.

Here's how chatGpt describes the movie:

The original Halloween (1978), directed by John Carpenter, is a classic horror film that helped define the slasher genre.
Here’s the story:

• Opening: In 1963, six-year-old Michael Myers brutally murders his teenage sister on Halloween night in their hometown of Haddonfield, Illinois. He is institutionalized in a sanitarium.
• Fifteen years later: On October 30, 1978, Michael escapes while being transferred and returns to Haddonfield.
• The main plot: Michael silently stalks a group of teenagers, especially babysitter Laurie Strode (played by Jamie Lee Curtis in her breakout role). Unaware of the danger at first, Laurie gradually realizes she’s being followed.
• Dr. Loomis: Michael’s psychiatrist, Dr. Sam Loomis (Donald Pleasence), knows how dangerous Michael is and desperately tries to track him down before he kills again.
• Halloween night: Michael begins murdering Laurie’s friends one by one, and finally attacks Laurie herself. She fights back, managing to survive the night with the help of Dr. Loomis, though Michael mysteriously vanishes after being shot.

The film is known for:

• Its suspenseful atmosphere and use of shadows.
• Carpenter’s eerie, minimalist music score.
• Establishing horror tropes like the “final girl” (Laurie) and the masked killer.
