Carpenter's intention was just to make a scary movie, but inspiration tends to come from the subconscious. I have no idea if Carpenter grew up adoring fables and fairy tales, but he has acknowledged that he writes archetypal characters, typically western archetypes, but Halloween fits classic fairy tale archetypes, and I feel that contributes to why it's such a classic.
