- Jamie Lee Curtis (Laurie Strode) The film's young lead went on to become its most recognizable alumnus by a considerable margin. After her breakout success as Laurie Strode in Halloween, Jamie Lee Curtis cemented her title of "scream queen" by continuing to work in horror films for a few years, including Prom Night (1980), Terror Train (1980), and John Carpenter's The Fog (1980), and also returned to Haddonfield for Halloween II (1981).
- Nick Castle (Michael Myers, a.k.a. the Shape) Many performers have worn the mask of Michael Myers over the years, but Nick Castle is the one who started it all.
- Nancy Kyes (Annie Brackett) Laurie's friend Annie was the second of three characters that Nancy Kyes (née Loomis) played for Carpenter — she first appeared in Assault on Precinct 13 (1976) and later The Fog.
- P.J. Soles (Lynda Van Der Klok) The actress who plays Laurie's other friend Lynda has more than 60 screen credits to her name. Soles' first film was Brian De Palma's Carrie (1976), and, after Halloween, she appeared in a number of high-profile projects.
