The movie "Moonlight Panic" tells such a story:
On Halloween in 1963, 6-year-old Michael Myers stared up at the sky with a bloody fruit knife in his hand after he had just killed his 17-year-old sister.
No reason, no motive.
Michael was then sent to a mental hospital. Doctor Loomis tried his best to study him, but found nothing. He just sat with his eyes fixed on the sky and did not say a word.
It's not that he can't speak, he just doesn't want to.
He seemed to be waiting for something, the doctor had a hunch.
Fifteen years later, on Halloween, Michael escaped the mental hospital in a storm and returned to his home town, wearing the white mask he used to assassinate his sister.
This time, his target was a teenage girl named Laurie Strode.
She didn't know him.
When Dr. Loomis and the local sheriff frantically search for Michael, Michael has killed four people in a row.
Tall, wearing a dark canvas shirt, wearing a white mask, and holding a sharp blade, Michael became synonymous with terror, and the "Nanny Murder" shocked the world.
In the end, Michael was put in a mental hospital again.
The suspense left is that Laurie Strode survived, will she be so lucky next time?
It seems now that this kind of perverted murderer spends most of the movie time chasing and killing a few irrelevant passers-by. The plot is simply the standard of low-cost, low-cost horror movies, and at least 48 of the 50 terrible horror movies do this. , and there is another one that I want to do or not.
But at the time, it was the originator.
As soon as the film was exposed, it quickly caused a craze, and the media and magazines applauded it, and was nominated for the Saturn Award for Best Horror Movie the following year.
This merciless horror film is so violent and terrifying that it can be compared to The Psycho. (Chicago Sun Times Review)
"Moonlight Panic" isn't a hideous action movie, with surprisingly little violence and almost no blood. The film is built on suspense, and the plot development is completely unexpected. (Reviewed by SFX Magazine)
With a budget of only $300,000 and completed in 21 days, it has become a classic under director John Carpenter.
More importantly, he created the first masked serial killer in the history of film, regardless of the reason, regardless of the result, without involving good and evil, simply slaughtering.
This unmotivated killing mode makes the plot development of the film completely unpredictable. The suspense has appeared from the beginning, who to kill, how to kill, what will happen, and what will lead to it.
Horror movies are no longer the kind of mutant action movies that rely on blood plasma and pursue perverted excitement.
He influenced and even changed the production style of B-level films after that, and also inspired many imitators to follow suit and shoot a large number of horror films and thrillers.
There are many classic works in the future.

It would be too selfish to say that it has been imitated and never surpassed. Horror movie fans can't agree, but there is one sentence that can be said responsibly.
He ushered in an era.
If the picture above is not approved, then I will put the picture below
In fact, there are not only many works that follow the trend, but even this work itself has also shot a batch of sequels. By 2018, the total number of sequels has reached as many as 11.
Everyone must remember that in that era when the streets and alleys were full of pirated vcd/dvd disc vendors, high-definition cards were not worth 5 yuan per piece.
Do you still remember that big collection of horror movies, open it and take a look inside, "Moonlight" 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
With so many sequels, this series must be amazing.
Well, the crew admitted that, except for the second part, which tried to be done with heart, the latter ones were all about making money.
Making money for bad sequels is already a tacit understanding of the crew, the theater, and the audience, but you are the first to admit it so neatly.
In fact, earlier, the crew also tried to save the series. For example, in the second season, the crew spent a lot of effort, and the score was acceptable. The third part even invited the director of the first one, John Carpenter is again involved.
However, in the end, we all know that in the face of the audience, in the face of the movie we like, there is no one who makes nine bad movies in a row.
But this time, the crew seems to be serious.
Directly erased all the plot of the sequel after the first episode. A new story unfolds as a follow-up to the first.
Once again invited back the members of the first part, including the director, the protagonist and some of the behind-the-scenes staff.
The overwhelming word of mouth and popularity after the release proved that the crew's efforts were not in vain.
After 40 years, the classic restart, Michael Myers is back again.
The moonlight is flustered 2018
It has been 40 years since the murder that happened in the small town. During this period, Michael has been imprisoned in a mental hospital, and he is habitually silent and indifferent every day.
Countless psychiatrists have come to study him, wanting to know his motives and intentions for killing, but all have been unsuccessful.
Now he is 61 years old, and standing with other patients in the mental hospital seems no different.
But when the visiting reporter took out Michael's white mask, it seemed as if a terrifying yin wind suddenly stirred up in the crowd. All the other mentally ill patients trembled and went crazy, and even the dog barked back in fright.
Reporters want to know the answer through interviews, and sometimes madmen and animals can feel the answer directly, they can't speak, but they are afraid.
The two journalists who got nothing in the mental hospital turned to interview the original survivor Laurie Strode.
Forty years later, Laurie has become an old man, and while she survived, some parts of her have stayed that night.
She had two failed marriages, and she became a little neurotic, insisting that it was not over and that Michael would come back again.
So she refused to believe that the world was beautiful, and she strictly demanded herself every day, familiarized herself with various firearms, practiced shooting frantically, and even asked her young daughter to learn to shoot at the age of 12, and continued to train until she was accepted by the Child Protection Association. The staff took her away.
Michael never showed up, and Laurie's daughter was middle-aged, married, and had a daughter.
The good news is that while the time with her grandmother is minimal, the granddaughter and Laurie have a good relationship.
And in Laurie's cognition, now not only need to protect himself, but also need to protect his daughter and granddaughter, his family.
The escort car that transported Michael had an accident on the road. The father and son who passed by got out of the car to check one after another. The bloody police officer lay on the ground and yelled.
"run"
The little boy was terrified, hid in the car, and—.
After receiving the notification to come to support the police, after checking the tragic situation at the scene, they had to face a more dangerous situation than a car accident.
Michael, who came out of the mountain again, began to wander around the town. If anyone could be predicted to be targeted, it could only be the two reporters with white masks in the trunk of the car, except for Laurie. group.
That was his mask.
Next, the director let us fully understand what is called the evil image of the classic ip.
Choking her neck from her hands when she killed a female reporter.
to change weapons.
Another nanny murder case that pays tribute to the classic episode.
No matter how much plot and lines the previous version took to illustrate the role of Michael, it was not as good as this one, where the director and Michael played Nick, who had played the role twice before this film.
If there is any contribution to the previous bad series, it is to evilly upgrade the image of Michael again and again.
He was shot, stabbed, hit by a car, but always got up again.
The same is true for this work, and even deliberately uses the doctor's death judgment to illustrate. This somehow gives Michael the undead property, with evil and power beyond the human scale.
He is something between human and supernatural, the director once explained in an interview.
Facing such a powerful Michael, can Laurie survive again, whether her daughter, her granddaughter can be safe again.
These questions are left for everyone to see in the video.
If Michael's existence is just a brain hole in the movie, the evil in life he represents really exists. And, just like Michael, he possesses superhuman abilities.
In fact, like literature, movies are used to amplify the things we encounter in our lives. We don't know when and what kind of "Michael" will come, trying to take away our happiness.
But like Laurie, facing evil, learning to protect yourself, and making yourself stronger is always the right choice.
I hope you, dear friends, will become stronger and stronger while watching the movie and enjoying the first-class sound effects and the thrilling horror feast brought by the horror master John Carpenter.
Because, when you are strong enough, you can protect yourself and the people you love.
We all feel blessed to be able to protect those we love.

Finally, if you are willing to give a good look to the stream of Xingku codewords.
That way, even with Michael's signature gasp at the end of the credits, there's nothing to fear.
