As promised, we're back with another episode on Carpenter's horror masterpiece Halloween, just in time for All Hallow's Eve -- and, this time, we've also welcomed to the show our very first guest co-host, Halloween devotee Megan Mosley! Chris, Nick, and Megan go in-depth on some of their favorite shots, sequences, subtleties, and scares in a wide-ranging discussion that covers the multitude of reasons why this 1978 film is a cut above the slasher-film genre it pioneered. Plus, a way-too-detailed analysis of the crane shot in the film's opening sequence, a (somewhat) spirited defense of some late entries in the long-running franchise, an appreciation of the late, great Donald Pleasance, and much, MUCH more! Happy Halloween, and remember -- the boogeyman is out there!
