Psycho and Black Christmas were oddities in the thriller genre. Until one very tall man stole a tan station wagon and drove it Haddonfield to steal a featureless white mask from the general store, walk slowly with a butcher knife, and steal headstones. And thus was cinema changed forever.Director: John CarpenterWriters: John Carpenter and Debra HillStars: Jamie Lee Curtis, Donald Pleasance, and Tony MoranTalking Points:All nurses should have capesStation wagons and bellbottomsSetting and place settingAnnie - A flannel bi?
