When John Carpenter unleashed his seminal slasher flick on the world in the late 70s, he was probably hoping to kick-start a filmmaking career and get a piece of that quintessentially American holiday pie, but little could he have known that his tiny makeshift movie would become one of the most successful indie films of all time, launch a lucrative series and spawn a generation of copycats—but most of all create one of the most iconic and enduring pop-culture bogeymen ever. And who knew all it would take was a repurposed Captain Kirk mask, some simple but haunting music, and the creepily calm but purposeful movements of Carpenter’s buddy Nick Castle on a set visit, and the result is ‘The Shape’ which stalks babysitters and small town America for eternity.

Directed by John Carpenter and starring Jamie Lee Curtis, Donald Pleasence and Nick Castle among others.

Genre: Horror, Thriller
