The Halloween franchise, created by John Carpenter and Debra Hill, is one of the longest-running horror franchises in cinema. Debuting with Halloween (1978), it introduced audiences to Michael Myers, a masked killer terrorizing the fictional town of Haddonfield on Halloween night. Spanning over 13 films, including sequels, remakes, and reboots, the franchise centers around Michael's relentless pursuit of his original target, Laurie Strode. Halloween has become a cultural staple, inspiring the slasher genre and generating comics, novels, and video games, with a new television series currently in development.
