- Donald Pleasence (Dr. Sam Loomis) When Myers murdered his older sister at the age of six, Dr. Sam Loomis became his appointed psychiatrist. The more Dr. Loomis observed Myers over the years, the more he realized that the young man was pure evil.
- Jamie Lee Curtis (Laurie Strode) There aren't too many iconic screams as good as Jamie Lee Curtis' in Halloween, but one could say she had a genetic predisposition to great lungs and vocal cords — just ask her mother, Janet Leigh, who produced one of the most celebrated screams in Hitchcock's Psycho (1960).
- Nick Castle (Michael Myers) Nick Castle took on Michael Myers' silent murderous ways, unkempt hair and sharp chef's knife. Castle did such a fine job at personifying the creepy character that director Carpenter teamed up with him again, but this time, serving as Carpenter's co-writer for the dystopian film Escape from New York (1981), which starred fellow Halloween cast member Pleasence.
- Tony Moran (Michael Myers) Castle's face didn't do the trick for Myers' maskless unveiling. So in came actor Tony Moran. A struggling actor when he got the role, Moran was paid $250 to play the part.
- 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.
