20. The head tilt – Halloween (1978)

In Halloween, the iconic head tilt by Michael Myers (Nick Castle) after killing his victim was an unscripted moment. Castle, embodying the eerie silence and mystery of Myers, instinctively tilted his head while observing his handiwork, adding an unsettling touch to the scene.
This subtle yet chilling gesture became one of the defining characteristics of the character, enhancing the film’s tension and contributing to the masked killer’s unsettling, inhuman presence throughout the series.
