Halloween (1978) (Film4, 10.45pm)
Masked psychopath Michael Myers (Tony Moran) made his debut in John Carpenter’s classic 1978 horror. As a young boy, Michael stabs the boyfriend of his teenage sister Judith and is promptly dispatched to Smith’s Grove Sanitarium under the care of psychiatrist Dr Samuel Loomis (Donald Pleasence). Fifteen years later, Michael escapes from the facility and heads back to his home town of Haddonfield, Illinois, with Loomis in hot pursuit. That night, high school student Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) babysits a boy named Tommy Doyle (Brian Andrews) while her good friend Annie Brackett (Nancy Kyes) babysits at a house across the street. Michael kills Annie and when Laurie discovers the grisly remains of the murder, she flees black to the Doyle house to protect little Tommy from the hulking assailant.

The Invisible Man (2020) (Sky Cinema Premiere, 1.45pm & 10.15pm)
Architect Cecilia Kass (Elisabeth Moss) manages to flee the clifftop home of her controlling beau, scientist Adrian Griffin (Oliver Jackson-Cohen). Soon after, Cecilia learns that Adrian has killed himself and bequeathed her five million dollars in his will, to be paid in monthly instalments via his brother Tom (Michael Dorman). For the first time in years, Cecilia draws breath, but a series of strange events convinces her that the news of Adrian’s demise is greatly exaggerated. TheInvisibleMan is an ingeniously executed horror thriller inspired by the 1897 HG Wells novel of the same title, reset to present-day San Francisco in the shadow of Silicon Valley. An emotionally wrought central performance from Moss firmly tethers an outlandish dramatic conceit to gut-wrenching reality.
Make Up (2019) (BBC2, 9.45pm) Premiere
A holiday park in Cornwall provides an unsettling backdrop to a journey of sexual awakening in writer-director Claire Oakley’s promising debut feature. Teenager Ruth (Molly Windsor) travels to a seaside holiday park during the off-season to stay with her boyfriend Tom (Joseph Quinn). Aside from a few residents, the resort is largely deserted and Ruth settles into her new surroundings. She makes friends with a girl called Jade (Stefanie Martini) and savours her new-found routine of low-key domesticity. One morning as she tidies up Tom’s caravan, Ruth unearths evidence to suggest her boyfriend may have cheated. This shocking discovery sows the seeds of an obsession to uncover the truth, which propels Ruth down a very different path.
