10 Things You Learn Watching Halloween (2018)

Michael's first proper appearance in Haddonfield in the film is a moment that fans of the franchise are going to be talking about for years.

As trick-or-treaters roam the streets, Michael wanders from house to house, watching people and breaking into homes to murder people at random. All of this is captured in a series of two long-takes and it is absolutely staggering to watch.
