Amazingly the title Halloween had never been used in any other film name!! This became a characteristic movie for the now renowned John Carpenter who worked with Debra Hill on the script and final production of this all time best selling series. Jamie Lee Curtis was cast as the star of the movie very low budget film…the film was produced for only a $120K budget but has grossed millions.
