* TeenHorror: While it wasn't the first slasher to have teenage protagonists, its success made them a staple of the genre.

Added DiffLines:

* TokenGoodCop:
** Sheriff Ben Meeker from the fourth and fifth movies is a, {{Downplayed|Trope}} example. He's a strong contender for the second-most competent and tough cop in the franchise (after Hawkins below), while his deputies and state police colleagues, while not entirely useless, tend to suffer RedShirt fates, occasionally overlook [[DangerTakesABackseat something important]], and [[SkewedPriorities impulsively abandon children in favour of going to fight a man breaking Michael out of jail (who easily kills said deputy and then abducts said kid)]].
** Deputy Hawkins from ''Film/Halloween2018'' [[spoiler:and, despite his apparent death, its sequels]] is a CombatPragmatist who takes the threat Michael poses very seriously, while his boss doesn't take Michael seriously until it's too late and Officers Francis and Richards are there to be PluckyComicRelief.

* ObviouslyEvil: Averted. Unlike [[Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet Freddy]], [[Franchise/FridayThe13th Jason]], and [[Film/TheTexasChainsawMassacre Leatherface]], when Michael is (briefly) unmasked in the climax of the first movie, he's revealed to have an almost ''angelic'' face.
