When it comes to horror franchises, few have been able to withstand the test of time. So this episode, we’re going back to the one that elevated slashers to what we know and love today: Halloween (1978). Joining us to continue our spooky series and discuss John Carpenter’s classic are Abby and Caitlin from The Ride Home Podcast. This movie is famous for giving us so many icons — the birth of Michael Myers, a chilling score, Jamie Lee Curtis’ scream queen fame. We talk about it all plus fun facts behind the scenes and the history of the franchise. We also debate the sex of it all, our favorite kills, and what makes Myers so scary.
