On October 26, 1881, the Earp brothers face off against the
Clanton-McLaury gang in a legendary shootout at the O.K.
Corral in Tombstone, Arizona.

Sheriff John Behan of Cochise County, who witnessed the
shootout, charged the Earps and Holliday with murder. A
month later, however, a Tombstone judge found the men
not guilty, ruling that they were “fully justified in committing
these homicides.”

The famous shootout has been immortalized in many movies,
including Frontier Marshal (1939), Shootout at the O.K. Corral
(1946), Gunfight at the OK Corral (1957), Tombstone (1993)
and Wyatt Earp (1994).

John Carpenter’s "Halloween" premiered, sending chills
across small towns nationwide.

Jamie Lee Curtis, 19 at the time, was paid only $8,000 for
her film debut.

Halloween spawned a film franchise comprising 13 films
which helped construct an extensive backstory for Michael
Myers.

Jamie Lee Curtis will be 67 years young on November 22.

Nick Castle played Michael Meyers right.

On October 24, 1901, a 63-year-old schoolteacher named Annie
Edson Taylor (above) became the first person to successfully
take the plunge over Niagara Falls in a barrel and survive.

Her motives were financial but she never made much money
from her adventure.

No matter the method, going over Niagara Falls is illegal, and
survivors face charges and stiff fines on either side of the
border.

Taylor, on her 63rd birthday, was accompanied by her cat.
