Halloween horror film franchise history
Overview
The Halloween horror franchise, initiated by John Carpenter’s 1978 film, has evolved into a series of 13 movies characterized by multiple distinct continuities. The narrative structure involves various sequels, remakes, and reboots, with the character Michael Myers existing across four separate movie continuities.
Analysis of the original film highlights cinematic techniques such as subjective camera perspectives and the strategic use of lighting to create dread. The franchise also includes a 1979 novelization by Richard Curtis that introduced supernatural elements, such as an ancient Irish prophecy, which influenced later installments. The central conflict of the series remains the tension between Michael Myers and Laurie Strode.
