Eddie Foster was a disturbed individual who stabbed and killed a girl in the Grays Ferry area on October 28, 1978 while dressed up as the character Michael Myers from the film Halloween. After witnesses saw him in costume, local groups called on theatres to stop showing the film. Foster was later arrested for her murder, as well as the murder of Angus Bistrong who was found stabbed to death in the same area the following night. Foster later killed himself a week before his trial.
