Halloween (1978, 93%)
Classic horror says to hide your kids, hide your wife, and definitely hide your villain – around corners, in deep shadows, and behind POV shots inside a bush peeking into the family house. John Carpenter drags Michael Myers into the sunlight, penetrating once-safe neighborhood sidewalks, basking among your laundry. Though nighttime does famously descend upon Haddonfield, Myers’ bold daytime lurching gave him an aura of unstoppability — true, if you look at all the sequels and remakes.
