Halloween
Michael Myers is a man created of nothing but evil. He killed once, and he's ready to kill again. When he escapes imprisonment, he returns to his hometown looking for revenge. It's up to Laurie Strode (played by Jamie Lee Curtis) to stop the killer and protect herself on the scariest night of her life. This was one of the first mainstream horror movies, and it was arguably the first "slasher" film ever made.
The Last House on the Left
Written by Wes Craven, this story follows two youthful girls on vacation at the isolated Collingwood lakehouse. There, an escaped violent convict tracks them down and alerts their presence to his group of killer friends. One of the girls manages to escape but is greeted by the killers at her own home. Revenge is a dish best served cold, and there's nothing like home cooking...
