On Halloween, Michael Myers stalks and slaughters his own sister after she engages in sexual relations with her sweetheart. Somewhere in the range of 15 years after the fact, Michael escapes from a haven on the commemoration of the homicide. He before long gets focused on three secondary school young ladies who are anticipating hot dates and a thriller long-distance race on stunt or-treat night - all aside from scholarly Laurie, who needs to look after children. While Michael's specialist drives a doubtful sheriff in and out of town looking for Michael, the executioner gets to the classmates, individually, until he's left with just Laurie, who's unnerved however sufficiently clever to retaliate. Slasher movies are some of the most interesting types of horror movies as it depicts the serial killer mindset and mentality. This is one of the most realistic types of horror movies. Leeder stated, “Michael Myers, on the other hand, is memorable precisely because of a lack of characterization.” Yet, he also describes him by saying, “Like Michael himself, the “Halloween” franchise collapses occasionally but never stays down. The brand has threatened to swallow up the original work. However "Halloween" the film holds a height separated from "Halloween" the establishment and the realm, and its essence in the National Film Registry is a demonstration of its particular and proceeding with power." On the other hand, Sleepaway Camp was fairly unsurprising as the characters that were executed were just the characters that were inconsiderate to Ricky and Angela. The ending was somewhat interesting because Angela turned out to be a boy prior to becoming a woman. The slasher film is unique as it allows sexual pleasures and horrific images to merge. It also allows both men and women to take on a protagonist’s perspective. The quote, “As a consequence, the male spectator is punished, as he looks at the abject body of the other—his monstrous, feminized gender counterpart. In this way, the horror film makes a feminine position available to the male spectator—although this position is not necessarily identical to that offered to the female spectator. The problem does not lie with the horror film’s appeal to the spectator’s masochistic desires but rather with the fact that the abject body is identified with the feminine, which is socially denigrated, and the symbolic body with the masculine, which is socially valorized.” This showed that slasher films allowed each gender to be seen as dangerous and as a killer. This is why when Jamie Lee Curtis killed Michael Myers, I felt that it was exciting and wonderful. Statistically, there are more male serial killers than men. Yet, Halloween is unique as it allows the audience to see both men and women in the aspect of being a murder.
