This week on Meet My Friends, host Lindsay St. Laurent (@filmakeher) clocks in for the Halloween night shift at Blockbuster with fellow Canadian and creative spirit Todd Donald (@todddonaldsound).
🍿 It’s a Friday night in 1999, the shelves are stacked, the candy rack is buzzing, and the line at the counter is out the door. Together, Lindsay and Todd imagine themselves behind the counter—helping a stream of “customers” find the perfect scary (or cozy) movie for Halloweekend. From cult classics to comfort flicks, this episode celebrates the VHS-era magic of movie nights, friendship, and fall nostalgia.
🎬 Featuring authentic Blockbuster ambience and vintage commercial breaks from the video store’s golden days, it’s the kind of episode that smells faintly of popcorn butter, plastic cases, and your childhood living room.
✨ In this episode we cover:
📼 Our all-time favorite Halloween rentals
🍁 The unmistakable vibe of a Canadian October
🎞️ Why the 90s were the real golden age of Halloweekend
💡 Movie recommendations for every kind of Halloween mood
So grab your membership card, pop in your favorite tape, and be kind—rewind.
