The year HE came home!

1978 is the eighth year of the 1970s and the seventy-eighth year of the 20th century. It follows the year 1977 and takes place before 1979. It was a big year for sharks, masked serial killers, zombies, and evil children. Bruce - the 'sploded shark from Jaws apparently had a little brother, who decided to stir up some trouble for the bathers at Amnity. And if big fish weren't enough to make people retreat from the water, there's also a bunch of little fish that like to take a nibble every now and again. A thirteen-year-old named Damien Thorn discovers how cool it is to be the Antichrist and gets some key tips on how to promote Satanism across the land. A bunch of zombies decided to spend the weekend at a shopping mall, taking advantage of all the great deals - plus the snack bar! Over in Haddonfield, Illinois, a whack-a-doodle known as Michael Myers gets it in his head that all babysitters are evil and need to die.
