Halloween is a horror movie franchise that, with one exception (1982's Halloween III: Season of the Witch), focuses on masked serial killer Michael Myers. The 1978 original was made with no budget and was a huge hit, defining the Slasher Film genre and paving the way for Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street and beyond. It also spawned comic books, novels and Video Games. Not all of the Myers-centered films exist in the same continuity.
