The Halloween franchise

The Halloween franchise is a series of horror films centered on Michael Myers, a masked murderer who drifts between murder sprees and moments of relative calm. Starting with the 1978 film directed by John Carpenter, the series explores themes of evil, trauma, and the battle between good and evil. The story mainly follows Laurie Strode, Myers' target and survivor, and her efforts to escape his relentless violence. The franchise has expanded into multiple sequels, remakes, and reboots, creating a complex timeline that examines Myers' origins, psychological background, and the ongoing threat he poses.
