Halloween
EssentialMovie19781h 31m
Carpenter's original. Every branch of the franchise starts here, and it remains the best of them.
Availability changes by country and by week, so this searches JustWatch rather than guessing.
Can you skip Halloween?
No. It carries part of the main Halloween throughline, and what comes after it assumes you have seen it. See the full Halloween order.
