Halloween was (accidentally or not) the first film to really embody many of the tropes that still are re-used in the slasher genre: the final girl, the "you have sex, you die" rule, and the "masked slasher." The newest Halloween remakes (2018, 2021) seek to erase and re-write the franchise's legacy.
