Halloween has many iconic visual images. Firstly one aspect that is very iconic is the fact that it is a bunch of teenagers who the whole film is based upon.
Secondly their is a psycho killer who wears a mask so that he is not identified and caarries a big knife around with him, which he uses to kill all his victims with.
Thirdly the characters who make out got jilled first.
