Episode description
Since Halloween Kills recently came out, we talked to J.G. Michael, Karthik Purushothaman, Conan Neutron, and Kenzo Shibata about the original 1978 Halloween.
Halloween was (accidentally or not) the first film to really embody many of the tropes that still are re-used in the slasher genre: the final girl, the "you have sex, you die" rule, and the "masked slasher." The newest Halloween remakes (2018, 2021) seek to erase and re-write the franchise's legacy.
