SR Ep. 3: Halloween

On this episode of ScreenRun, The Lady Wan and Chris Scalzo are joined by Shawn of the SIVAKO: Road to Avatar podcast to discuss the seminal slasher, John Carpenter’s classic ‘Halloween’. Carpenter delivers THE genre-defining slasher with the introduction of Michael Myers and the slaughter of some babysitters. Were there similar films before? Sure. But Carpenter and crew define the genre and establish the template that would influence filmmakers and horror fans forever. After all this time though, could all that talk just be hyperbole? (Come on, no. But it’s a hell of a lot of fun to revisit and discuss this horror classic!)

It’s up to the remaining staff and a cast of criminals stuck overnight after their transportation broke down during their transfer to a new prison. Can our heroes, of them reluctant, survive the ‘Assault On Precinct 13’?!? With Carpenter fully in control of the reigns with a little bit of cash deliver the promise shown in ‘Dark Star’?

Episode Notes

On this episode of ScreenRun, The Lady Wan and Chris Scalzo are joined by Darren Lundberg of NostalgiaCast to discuss John Carpenter’s follow-up to ‘Halloween’, ‘The Fog’. The ghost/revenge story of a doomed ship full of ill folks desperate to find a place to settle, and the townsfolk that done them wrong. While the film didn’t repeat the runaway success of his prior film, ‘The Fog’ was a hit and to this day carries a warm, wet, sea-faring affection for its fans and has become a cult classic. 40+ years later, how does this deceptively simple ghost story hold up?
