Halloween (1978) Movie Review

Now Playing - The Movie Review Podcast

It's a nice 3-bedroom, 2-bath. A bit of a fixer-upper. The gutters are falling down, and there's a murderer living inside. But you can't beat the payment!

With the release of Halloween II, Now Playing Podcast begins a deep dive into the entire Halloween franchise, revisiting all ten films in the series. It all starts with Halloween, the low-budget shocker from John Carpenter that introduced the world to Michael Myers, also known as The Shape. Armed with a Captain Kirk mask and an unrelenting presence, Michael Myers stalked suburban streets and helped define the modern slasher film. Does this 1978 classic still deliver the tension and terror that frightened a generation, or has time dulled its edge? The hosts step into Haddonfield to examine the atmosphere, the score, and the legacy of the movie that turned Carpenter into a master of horror.
