15 Most Epic Movie Moments Of 2018

8. Laurie's Disappearing Act - Halloween

Without question the most crowd-pleasing moment in the new Halloween movie occurs during the third-act battle between Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) and Michael Myers.

After a tense sweep through her fortress of a home, Laurie is attacked by Michael, who ends up throwing her over a balcony, leaving her unconscious on the lawn.

But in a neat subversion of the original Halloween 40 years prior - where Myers disappeared from the lawn like a phantom - it's Laurie who makes the sneaky escape this time, complete with the very same, distinctive John Carpenter musical cue.

As far as crowd-pleasing callbacks go, this was perfection and only heightened the intensity of the final showdown.
