Susan Swift

The town of Haddonfield, Illinois, celebrates halloween for the first time in five years, only to be joined in the festivities by maniacal mass murderer Michael Myers, with his nemesis, the inveterate psychiatrist Dr. Loomis, hot on his heels.

A happily married couple (Marsha Mason and John Beck) find their lives thrown into frightening disruption when a stranger (Anthony Hopkins) appears at their door claiming that their adopted 12-year-old daughter (Susan Swift) contains the reincarnated spirit of his little girl. Although their daughter has been acting a little strange of late, they dismiss Hopkins as a crackpot. Then "things" start happening, and Hopkins keeps reappearing as a menacing figure, which has a deepening influence on the girl and an increasingly terrifying effect on the family. This haunting, psychological horror film was directed by a master of the genre: Robert Wise (THE HAUNTING).
