The movie Halloween showed in 1978 is a genuinely scary, very stylistic and tasteful, extremely well-made slasher/horror classic film from a young film director John Carpenter. The film set in a motion the Puritanical, psycho-pathological style or principle that one's survival was directly parallel or proportional to one's sexual experience. It also stated and asserted the allegorical idea that sexual awakening often have the meaning of the literal death of innocence.

With the title main character Laurie played by Jamie Lee Curtis a virgin, she is able to survive and escape mostly unscathed as does the asexual Dr. Loomis and the very young pre-teen Tommy Doyle, but others who are more sexually-charged and promiscuous are less fortunate and suffer deadly outcome and consequences as victims. In this movie, murders often occur right after sexual encounters when victims are mostly distracted and off-guard.

The Director Carpenter made and used anamorphic Panavision framing 2:35 aspect ratio for the movie to make it appear much classier than its low-budget status. When the film was showed and aired in 1981 on some commercial network television, Carpenter was engaged and obliged to shoot about 12 minutes of additional footage to replace the violent and gory scenes, due to the numerous cuts made.

The exploitative, and low-budget film, made and filmed in about 20 days; invented many of the slasher movies clinches, along with these vintage and classic predecessors of the modern slasher: just like the George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead -1968, there is also Mario Bava's Bay of Blood -1971, William Friedkin's big-budget and scariest The Exorcist-1973, Bob Clark's Black Christmas -1974, and lastly the Tobe Hooper's The Texas Chainsaw Massacre-1974. Thus this film had set the standard in slasher/ horror film.
