The End is the Beginning

Alas, all parties must come to an end and trick or treating can only go on for so long. The neighbors are turning out their lights, so open up your bag for the last fun-sized episode of our Spooky Season Super Scary Screamtacular with  John Carpenter's most seminal work, the original classic, the immortal, the iconic

Halloween

We travel all the way back to 1978, with a quick detour to 1963, to see the Michael Myers legacy take shape (See what we did there?). One thing that’s going to be interesting about this journey is that we watched two different versions of the movie. Glenn watched the version that we all know and love, while Jess watched the extended version involving scenes added years later. 

Along the way, we’ll touch on some important subjects like why teens bang in their parents bed (and maybe why they shouldn’t), whether artists can be trusted to tell you the meaning of their own art, whether you can be a goody two-shoes and still smoke weed, and what the heck is a slasher anyway?

As we say goodbye to spooky season and return to our monthly schedule, we want to thank you for joining us for our first Halloween event. May your costumes be awesome, your parties raucous, your Samhain fires warm, your tricks scary and your treats delightful! 

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
