S16 E2 · Halloween (1978) The Movies Within the Movie

Every October, it's a tradition to watch the original John Carpenter's Halloween, but what about the horror movies the characters are watching in Halloween? It's a familiar trope, the movie within the movie, something to compliment what's actually happening in the film. It could be a tribute to the movies the director grew up, but could there be more of a reason why these movies are on the TV? Is there a reason why Carpenter chose The Thing (1951), Forbidden Planet, and Night of the Living Dead specifically, or, was it all at random? That's what I'm investigating today!

S16 E7 · Spirit Halloween The Movie Review

I just love those Spirit Halloween stores, there was nothing like this when I was a kid. Now, every season, they pop up, just kind of appear out of nowhere... like a spirit. Well what if all of the costumes and animatronics inside it came to life? What if you were locked in a Spirit Halloween and things started attacking? Well it’s now a movie. It’s a perfect concept, but is the execution as good as the idea? Let’s take a look.
