Black cats and goblins and broomsticks and ghosts.
Pumpkins of witches are there to roast.
You may think, they scare me. You're probably right.
Black cats and goblins on Halloween night.
Trick-or-treat!!!
My parents won't be home untill ten. - Are you sure?
We're all alone, aren't we?
Michael's around someplace ...
Take off that thing.
Let's go upstairs. - Ok.
Look, Judith, it's very late.
I gotta go.
Will you call me tomorrow?
Yeah, sure. - Promise?
Yeah.
Michael?
Ever done anything like this before?
Only minimum security.
I see.
The driveway's a few hundred yards up on the right.
The only thing that ever bothers me is their jibberish.
When they start raving on and on ...
You haven't anything to worry about.
He hasn't spoken a word in 15 years.
Are there any special instructions?
Just try to understand what we're dealing with here.
Don't underestimate it.
Don't you think we could refer to 'it' as him?
If you say so.
Your compassion's overwhelming, Doctor.
What do I give him, when we're taking him in front of the judge?
Thorazin.
Barely be able to sit up. - That's the idea.
You're serious about that, aren't you?
Yeah.
You mean, you actually never want him to get out. - Never ever ...
Never.
Then why we're taking up to Hardy county, if he just gonna ... - Because that is the law.
We are.
Since when do they let them wander around?
Pull up to the main gate. - Shouldn't we ... - Pull up?
Stop here.
Shouldn't we go on up to the hospital on ... - Wait!
Are you all right?
You all right? - Yes, I'm ok. - He's gone. He's gone?
The evil is gone!
I gotta ...
Don't forget to drop the key off the Myers place ...
I won't.
They're coming by look at the house at 10:30. Be sure you leave it under the mat ... - Promise.
Laurie ...
Hi Tommy.
Coming over tonight? - Same time, same place.
Can we make Jack-O-Lanterns? - Sure.
And watch the monster movies? - Sure.
Will you read to me?
Can we make popcorn? - Sure, sure, sure.
You better hurry up.
How can you walk in the school this way? - My dad asked me to.
Why?
I have to drop off the key.
Why?
Because he's gonna sell a house.
Why?
Because that's his job. - Where?
The Meyers house.
The Meyers house!
You're not supposed to go up there?
Yes, I am.
That's a spook house.
Just watch.
Lonnie Elam said never to go up there.
Lonnie Elam said that's a haunted house.
He said real awful stuff happened there once. - Lonnie Elam probably won't get out of the sixth grade.
I gotta go.
I see you tonight.
Bye. - Bye.
* I wish I had you all alone ... *
* Just the two of us ... *
* I would hold you close to me ... *
* So close to me ... *
* Just the two ... *
I'm not responsible, Sam. - Oh, no ...
I told them how dangerous he was!
You wouldn't have enough two roadblocks and an all-points bulletin wouldn't stop a five-year-old!
But he was your patient, Doctor. If precautions weren't strong enough, you should have told somebody.
I told everybody!
Nobody listened. - There's nothing else I can do.
You can get back in there and get back on the telephone.
Tell them exactly who walked out of here last night ...
And tell them exactly where he is going. - Probably going.
I'm wasting my time. - Sam, Haddonfield is a hundred and fifty miles away from here.
Now, now for God's sake, he can't drive a car! - He was doing very well last night!
Maybe someone around here gave him lessons.
Doctor Chance, plese come to point C ...
Doctor Chance, point C please.
... and the book ends.
But what Samuels is really talking about here ...
is fate.
You see ...
fate caught up with several lives here.
No matter what course of action Collins took ...
he was destined to his own fate,
his own day of reckoning with himself.
The idea ...
is ...
that destiny ...
is a very real, concrete thing that every person has to deal with.
How does Samuels' view of fate differ from that of Costaine's? Laurie?
M'am?
Answer the question.
Costaine wrote that fate-- was somehow related only to religion
or where Samuels felt that ... well, fate was like a natural element, like earth, air, fire, and water.
That's right, Samuels definitely personified fate.
In Samuels' writing, fate is a moveable like a mountain.
It stands, where man passes a way.
Fate never changes.
You, with pumpkin. - Leave me alone!
He's gonna get you! - He's gonna get you, he's gonna get you...
The boogeyman is coming! - Leave me alone!
He doesn't believe us. - Don't you know what happens on Halloween?
Yeah, we get candy.
The boogey man! - The boogey man, the boogey man, the boogey ...
He's on his way.
You gotta believe me officer, he is coming to Haddonfield.
Because I know him.
I'm his doctor. You must be ready for him.
If you don't, it's your funeral.
We're from Haddonfield, couldn't be prouder.
Can't hear now, we yell a little louder.
We're from Haddonfield, couldn't be prouder!
Can't hear now ... continue - Oh, look at you.
Get off the books you have. You neeed a shopping cart to get home.
Heeey Haddonfield! - Yeah, one for me.
You know it's totally insane! We have three new cheers to learn in the morning,
the game in the afternoon, I have to get my hair done at five and the dance is at eight.
I'll be totally wiped out!
I don't think get enough to do tommorow. - Totally!
As usual, I have nothing to do. - It's your own fault and I don't feel bit sorry for you.
Hey, Lynda, Laurie!
Why didn't you wait for me?
We did.
Fifteen minutes. You totally never showed. - That's not true. Here I am.
What's wrong, Annie? You're not smiling. - I'm never smiling again.
Paul dragged me into the boys' locker room to tell ... - Exploring uncharted territory?- It's been totally charted.
We just talked.
Sure, sure.
Old jerko got caught throwing eggs and soaping windows. His parents grounded him.
He can't come over tonight.
I thought you were babysitting tonight. - The only reason she babysits is to have a place to... - Oh shit ...
I have a place for that.
I forgot my chemistry book.
So, who cares? I always forget my chemistry book and my math book and my english book and my ...
and let's see my French book and ...
Who needs books anyway? I don't need books. I always forget all of my books. I mean ...
it doesn't really matter if I you got that books or not.
Hey, isn't that the van Graham?
I don't think so.
I think he's cute.
Hey, jerk ...
Speed kills!
Gosh ... Can't he take a joke?
You know, Annie, some day you gonna get us all into deep trouble.
Totally.
I hate a guy with a car and no sense of humor.
Well, are we still on for tonight?
I wouldn't want to get you in deep trouble, Lynda.
Oh come on, Annie ...
Bob and I've been planning on it all week.
All right.
The Wallaces leave at seven.
I'm babysitting the Doyles.
It's only three houses down. We can keep each other company. - Ohh, terrific ... I've got three choices.
Watch the kid sleep, listen to Lynda screw around or talk to you.
We're so ma ...
Here.
What time at night?
I don't know yet. I have to get out of taking my little brother trick- or-treating. - Saving the treats for Bob?
Fun-ny.
See you. - Bye. - Bye.
Annie, look.
Look where?
Behind the bush.
I don't see anything. - That guy who drove by so fast, when you yelled at.
Subtle, isn't he?
Hey, creep!
Laurie, dear, he wants to talk to you.
He wants to take you out tonight.
He was standing right there.
Poor Laurie.
Scared another one away.
It's tragic. You never go out.
You must have a small fortune stashed from babysitting so much. - Guys think I'm too smart.
I don't. I think you're whacko. Now you're seeing men behind bushes.
Well, home sweet home.
See you later.
Bye. - Bye.
Excuse me, Laurie. - Oh, Mr. Brackett, I'm sorry, Mr. Brackett. - Oh, I didn't mean to scary ya.
I'm sorry.
You know, it's Halloween. I guess everybody's entitled to a one good scare.
Yes, sir.
Nice evening, sir.
Trick -o - treat, Trick -o - treat.
Oh, kiddo ...
thought you grew up from superstition.
Hello?
Who is this?
Hello?
Why did you hang up on me?
Annie?
Was that you?
Of course. - Why didn't you say anything? You scared me to death.
I had my mouth full. Couldn't you hear me?
I thought it was an obscene phone call.
Now you hear obscene chewing. You're losing it, Laurie. - I've already lost it.
I Doubt that.
Listen, my mother is letting me use her car. I'll pick you up. 6:30.
Ok, bye. -Bye.
Just calm down.
This is ridiculous.
Hurry up.
Just have time.
Judith Myers. Myers.
Row 18 ... plot 20.
Hey, you know. You know, every town has something like this happen.
I remember over in Russellville.
Old Charly Bowles. About fifteen years ago.
One night he, he finished dinner ...
And he excused himself from the table ...
And he went out to the garage ...
He got himself a hack saw ...
And then he went back into the house ...
And he kissed his wife and two children goodbye ...
And then he proceeded ... - Where are we?
It's right over here.
Myers, Judith Myers. I remember her.
Couldn't believe.
Such a young boy.
Well, you lost?
Why do they do it?
Goddamn kids.
They'll do anything for Halloweens.
It was grave, hers. - Oh, I know that.
18, 19 ...
Judith Myers.
He came home.
You still spooked?
I wasn't spooked.
Lies. - I wasn't.
Saw somebody standing in Mr. Riddle's back yard. - Probably Mr. Riddle.
He was watching me. - Mr. Riddle was watching you? Laurie, Mr. Riddle is 87.
He can still watch.
That's probably all he can do.
What's the pumkin for? - I brought it for Tommy. I figured carving a Jack-O-Lantern would keep him occupied.
I always said you'd make a fabulous girl scout. -
Thanks. - And for that matter, I might as well be a girl scout myself tonight.
I plan on making popcorn and watching Doctor Demensia.
Six straight hours of horror movies. Little Lindsey Wallace won't know what hit her.
My dad!
Get rid of this.
Laurie, stop caughing. What's the matter with you?
Just be natural. There he is. Just be natural, Laurie.
Hi, Annie, Laurie...
Hi, Dad.
What happened? - What? What happened?
Somebody broke into the hardware store. Probably kids.
You blame everything on kids.
What all they took was some Halloween masks, a rope and a couple of knives. Who do you think it was?
It's hard growing up with a cynical father.
Aren't you gonna be late ... - Huh?
I said aren't you gonna be late. - He shouts too.
Bye girls.
Bye dad. - Bye.
Sheriff.
Pardon me, I'm a Loomis. Dr. Sam Loomis.
Lee Brackett. - I, I'd like to have a word with you if I could.
Ah, maybe a few minutes. I gotta take that - It's just important.
Ten minutes. - I'll be here.
What's the matter with you?
I think he knew. I'm sure he could smell it.
No, he didn't. - He did.
See the look on his face?
He always looks like that.
What you gonna wear on dance tommorow night?
I didn't know you thought about things like that, Laurie.
You know you could ask somebody. - No, I couldn't.
Sure you could. All you have to do is go up to somebody and say ...
You wanna go to the dance?
You could do that, I couldn't.
Or you could ask Dick Paxter. He could go out with ya.
I try to get out Ben Tramor.
Ben Tramor?
I knew it!
See, you do think about things like that, huh, Laurie?
Shut up. - He is cute.
Ben Tramor.
Ok.
Bye.
Trick or treat, trick or treat: give me something good to eat.
Hi. - Hi Annie, come on in. - How are you doing today? - Fine. How are you?
What time are you in your bed? - I'm being in bed by nine, ok.
Have a good night, dear. - Be a good girl.
Bye bye. - Here.
Anybody lives here? - No, not since 1963 when that happened.
Every kid in Haddonfield thinks this place is haunted. - They may be right.
Look. - What?
What is that?
It's a dog.
Still warm.
He got hungry.
Could have been a skunk.
Could have.
A man wouldn't do that ...
This is not a man.
