  • The Shape of Things, Part II: Retrospective on Halloween (2007-2022)
    Oct 31 2022

    We cap things off for the month with an examination of Rob Zombie’s remakes and discuss the Requel Trilogy that started in 2018 and ended this year with Halloween Ends.

    A bittersweet episode, both due to the end of October and the beginning of my hiatus. But at least we’re ending it on a high note.

    Happy Samhain, everyone!

    HALLOWEEN ENDS: When I say “skip for spoilers,” go to about 39:48.

    Don Coscarelli’s low-budget cult classic, centered around a couple of brothers who begin to suspect their local mortician’s involvement in a bizarre killing. While not as famous as the slashers that came before or after, the Tall Man is still iconic in his own right, and four sequels were made up to 2016. This the story of Phantasm.

  • On the Shadyside of the Street: The Fear Street Trilogy
    Oct 25 2022

    A trio of films released over three weeks on Netflix, Fear Street is based off the books of the same name by R.L. Stine. Taking place in the small town of Shadyside, a group of teens investigate a set of murders in town, and uncover a curse lingering on the town for centuries. With influences from Scream to Friday the 13th, to Terrence Malick’s The New World, Leigh Janiak’s Fear Street is an underrated addition to modern horror.
