234: HALLOWEEN (1978) [Pod-a-Thon: Day 8]

Tonight, we're having a most informal chat about one of the most influental horror movies of our times: JOHN CARPENTER's trick or treat tale of terror in the house across the street, HALLOWEEN from 1978. I've got a most controversial theory about the motivations behind this film.  I can back it up with pages and pages of criminal psychology and forensic evidence. But you might still want to beat me up over it.
