At the gates of the sanitarium, #DoctorLoomis tries to make a call, #NurseChambers does strange things with a government vehicle, and #TheShape arrives, wrench at hand.
Published 08/08/19
Nurse Chambers and Doctor Loomis arrive at the Sanitarium gate only to find that patients are wandering around outside. Plus, a little podcast behind-the-scenes talk RE: formatting my notes, visiting filming locations, and getting on a government watchlist.

Nurse Chambers smokes a lot, Dr. Loomis is serious about it, his ex-girlfriend was killed by Michael, Thorazine was the first anti-psychotic, and they haven't gotten to the sanitarium yet.

#DoctorLoomis in two added-for-television scenes, edited in the car to be more likable, as Cassandra figure, and as Ahab chasing his cosmic #whitewhale.

Judy dies, Michael flees, and we meet their parents and really get to know them... or just watch them stand around awkwardly for 30 seconds, never to be seen again. Also, the real Michael Myers?
Published 07/30/19
Judy sings, Michael has toys, and just how many times does Michael stab his sister? And what about the voice inside his head?
Published 07/27/19
Candlesticks, chafing dishes, wrong clocks, transom windows, houses that are bigger on the inside, and the voices in Michael's head. Plus #MyersHouseNC. From psychosexual fury to the shadow of the cameraman, it is Minute 5 of #Halloween

About POV, about the nature of evil, and something about blenders.
Published 07/23/19
Connecting the death of Judy Myers to the assassination of JFK, talking Samhain and the little known prologue with the Celtic boy Enda. And this one actually got a few minutes shorter on the remix.

The tail of end of my conversation with my sisters drifts from the opening credits of #Halloween to our favorite #horrorfilms and what #slasherfilms are all about. (And I fixed up the audio from last year as best I could.)

It's been a year, and I'm working on some other projects and have not come back for Halloween II yet. So, here is the first of several remixes of the early episodes that didn't have great sound quality. My eagerness to jump in outweighed my patience for figuring out a good mixing program. This is a much longer version of Minute 1, with two of my sisters and me talking about the Halloween houses, Solarbabies, Blood Beach, Motel Hell, Rob Zombie's remake and why the original is scary. Plus, we...

The credits end, the screen goes black, the music fades, and The Shape is captured behind the Elrods' house.

End credits, one final IMDb goof, the Halloween II novelization, the nature of evil, and a part of Michael Myers we weren't supposed to see.
Published 02/07/19
The film proper comes to an end, with looks back into the novelization, into Chaos Comics, into Michael's childhood and ancestry, and a look forward into Halloween II

Alan Sanders of The Wilder Ride is with me again as Michael falls, Loomis can't really see the lawn below, and Laurie magically knows that the boogeyman isn't really dead.

Alan Sanders of The Wilder Ride joins me (sort of) as Loomis arrives just in time to recognize and shoot Michael Myers.

Laurie sends the kids to the MacKenzies, 3 years later in Halloween 2 the dialogue is just slightly different, and outside Loomis' "evil radar" has failed him.
Published 01/30/19
Michael's supressed sexuality, Loomis' madness, and the stupid mistakes that reviewers, writers, filmmakers, and fans make.
Published 01/28/19
Minute 84 takes place entirely in a closet, lights flicker, hangers fall, and a door is broken.
Published 01/25/19
In the novelization, Laurie listens for the Shape's sounds downstairs; in the film, she gets the kids ready to make a run for it; and the bogeyman arrives to foil those plans.
Published 01/23/19
Loomis' evil radar isn't working, Brackett is useless, but oh, is that music setting the mood.
Published 01/21/19
Laurie is in her head in the novelization as she waits for Michael to strike. He strikes, she strikes back. He falls to the floor.
