Halloween

On Halloween in Haddonfield, Illinois, having already exhibited signs of psychopathic tendencies, ten-year-old Michael Myers murders a school bully, his older sister Judith, her boyfriend Steve Haley and his mother's abusive boyfriend Ronnie White. He only spares his infant sister. After one of the longest trials in the state's history, Michael is found guilty of first-degree murder and sent to Smith's Grove Sanitarium under the care of child psychologist Dr. Samuel Loomis. Michael initially cooperates with Loomis and his mother Deborah visits him regularly. Over the following year, Michael becomes dissociative, fixating on papier-mâché masks and withdraws from the people around him, even his mother. When Michael kills a nurse as Deborah is leaving from one of her visits, she is unable to handle the situation and commits suicide.
