This John Carpenter movie came out in 1978 starring Jamie Lee Curtis. It is the story of Michael Myers, who killed his family at a young age. He breaks out the sanitarium to return to his home of Haddonfield. There he begins his murder spree all over again.
The first movie spawned 7 sequels and a reboot in 2007. That reboot had its own sequel. Even though it was scary, it didn't have the same effect as the original.

The late great Wes Craven had a lot of scary movies that made a name for him. The one that stands out the most is Nightmare on Elm Street. Mostly because of its main character, Freddy Krueger. He would enter peoples dreams and kill them. Even though he was a fictional character, if watched any of these movies, you found it hard to sleep afterward.
