10 Greatest Villain Introductions In Horror Movie History

Those simple keys will never sound the same again.

The memorable and lilting score from the opening scene of John Carpenter's Halloween is the perfect soundtrack to the introduction of legendary horror villain, Michael Myers.

Zooming in first person perspective through an elegant '50s home, the camera becomes the attacker in this gruesome first kill of Halloween, with a young teen, Judith Myers, getting stabbed to death in her own bedroom.

This brutal sequence is punctuated by one of the all-time great horror reveals, revealing that the culprit whose perspective we were sharing was actually a young boy - Judith's brother, Michael. It's a shocking twist that encapsulates Halloween's themes of evil right from the start, cementing Carpenter's film as one of the genre's finest in the process.
