Halloween unmasked is ok. I’m not a huge fan of these overly scripted pods. Also think it misses the mark on a lot of the Jamie Lee talk…a lot of Halloween fans are sick to F’n death of her for many reasons

I know you'll find this hard to believe but this podcast series about an iconic horror film turns into a libfreak "white people bad" diatribe within the first ten minutes. You get to hear Jamie Lee Curtis bring up the "metoo" scam, hear about how Carpenter first discovered...Read full review »

Great retrospective of the classic “Halloween” movie along with a fantastic interview of the legendary Quentin Tarantino. One slight complaint is a lack of acknowledging the inspiration of “Black Christmas” but outside of that, a great listen.

There absolute best of what a long-form interview can be. Tarantino junxtaposed with the a film selection was genius! May I have seconds? An absolute delicious motif. More please.

It’s funny how some of the talks of fear from last year can apply to this new year of 2020. And it’s actually uplifting! This podcast I was listening to to free myself from reality and prepare myself for spooky season actually calmed me for what’s happening outside. So thank you, Amy.

Quentin is a great interview and can fill hours of programming alone. Why the producers smchose to splice up the conversation and insert voice overs and music every minute or two was quite annoying to listen to.

This was really good. Hoping Wuentin gets motivated to do more. Love his passion for the art form.

Amy does such amazing in-depth work and honestly I love that she is willing to dive into the obscure arcana of hollywood.

I listened to the Halloween episodes but couldn’t find them again last year and here they are and with a new series!! Love it

Came for the Tarantino interview but really enjoyed the Halloween episodes. A great breakdown of the series and why it’s been so popular

QT is so brilliant & interesting and Amy needs to talk & interrupt less.
ShyempressSerena via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 01/03/20
Always fun listening to QT. But this interviewer just seemed to get it wrong a lot. Watching the Matrix you really think is similar to taking Heroin?
GalwayK1963 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/20/19
I could listen to Quentin talk for hours. The host? Meh.
HeyLeighD via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/24/19
After the Tarantino presentation, I recommend her prior season on the making of the movie Halloween. Her interviews with the movie’s creators and Jaimie Lee Curtis are fantastic. I don’t know how she will top these but I look forward to finding out.

I haven’t even finished yet and I’m leaving my 5 stars. This is a great series about one of my favorite horror films. Halloween is definitely a film that deserves this in-depth exploration. The Myers mask also deserves as much exploration. This mask changed the Halloween industry as much as...Read full review »

As a Halloween podcast, this was great. For some reason it has turned into a Tarantino podcast, to which I had not subscribed. Not a fan of Tarantino.
ACourtneyP via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/08/19
Wonderful podcast! I love the depth and detail that the host goes into—great portrait of John Carpenter’s childhood and coming of age against the background of a violent, tumultuous American history. So thankful this exists.
Miiva via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/20/19
Make the Halloween part a YouTube channel.
Ry Fitz via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/12/19
The questions were decent with some actual QT pushback too... but overall, I enjoyed it
ArthritisOnslaught via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 08/29/19
I love the questions and the interview but it is heavily overproduced. Id like to hear more conversation and less clips from movies and narration.
Chrissypoo321 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/17/19
I've been waiting for this podcast for years! Collateral: best podcast so far!Read full review »
Manny CR via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/12/19
I enjoyed the remarks from Quentin, but the host was annoying. The structure of the podcast was all over the place. This could have been so much more interesting with more structure. It jumped all over the place. I expected better from the Ringer.
mdee49619 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 08/09/19
Tarantino is compelling when we hear him, but Nicholson is completely overbearing and obnoxious, and wastes so much time on insufferably drawn out setups, tangents, and editorializing. Terrible podcast structure. I wish it were just a straight interview, because from what I can hear of it, it...Read full review »

I really enjoyed the Halloween Unmasked podcast so when I saw my feed update I clicked immediately. This one was not as good, as sad as I am to say it. 3 episodes are not enough for the big topics this podcast wants to cover and because of that it feels rushed. I wish the host would have talked...Read full review »

This was fantastic. I was left wanting more. You two should have your own show!
Sambo401 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/03/19
A one on one chance to talk to Tarantino in long form and you waste it talking about 'The Hollywood shuffle?' He's not interested, I'm not interested, no one is interested. Outside of that the production values are fine and it's not poorly made. Just kind of a waste.Read full review »

Wonderful insight, very thoughtful and fun conversation. What does episode 3 drop!?!
ay2234567798765 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/31/19
My only complaint is that I want more!

Can’t wait to hear the new Tarantino pods! Been a fan of Amy’s since the canon days!

Interesting material about the making of the original and new Halloween weighed down nonsense psych interviews and out of place opinions from the host.
ReidV3 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/06/19
I binged this podcast far too quickly! Great information and really well done!
akashley12 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/08/19

Lizexp via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/31/19
Easily up there with the best podcasts I’ve listened to,the format,the host,the interviews are all fantastic.. Left me thirsty for more and would hope they continue their great work with future cast! A++

I’m a fan of the movie & the genre. The narrators voice, cadence & opinions killed it for me. I can’t get past episode 1.
fbneverresponds via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/04/19
Fascinating insight into how the original Halloween was made, plus an overview of all the sequels up to and including the 2018 film.
EricksonPrime via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/28/18
I was excited to listen to this being it’s one of my favorite horror films, but the narrator ruined it for me. Her voice is very hard to listen too, I can’t get past episode 4.
Horror Film Junkie via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/10/18
Amy Nicholson and the team behind Halloween Unmasked made the perfect companion piece to the run up to this year’s Halloween film. It deeply slashed into mythology of Michael Myers, the inception of the original film, and the undeniable impact the family of Halloween films has had on culture. The...Read full review »

Simply amazing. This podcast made me love the movie (and the franchise) even more ✊🏽
CarlosHUL via Apple Podcasts · Chile · 11/16/18
I had this podcast downloaded for the Telluride Horror Festival, but didn’t get around to it until a flight to Ireland. It slays! I’ve listened to Amy Nicholson on other podcasts for years. She’s a great film reviewer and has recently really hit her stride. Her work on this podcast is brilliant....Read full review »

Fantastic in-depth exploration of this series! Very much looking forward to what Nicholson works on next. A must watch for any fan of horror or the Haloween series--totally a gem podcast.
hasonjask via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/07/18
Covers not only the trivial aspects of the film series but also the broader social implications of horror in general. Hope there are more of these in the future.
strxer via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/07/18
The host rattles on way too fast! Also did she not notice that in every horror movie a girl that enjoys sex is going to die? In the third episode she talks about why Michael Myers is so scary and says it’s because he kills for no reason, for nothing. Wrong!!! Sex will always get you killed.
