We have a two-fer for you today! Exciting isn’t it? Today your hosts discuss Halloween 2018 and the original from 1978. The guys stay pretty much on topic discussing horror film tropes, Michael Myers as a villain, and journalism. Was Mysterious Mike able to keep his streak going with the MCU? You will have to tune in to find out!
Halloween 2018 is a great fresh spin on a horror classic. Michael Myers is scary and menacing to say the least. Jamie Lee Curtis’ take on her first starring role Laurie Strode 40 years later is incredible! Her acting is amazing and how the writers decided to write her was even better. Matt really enjoyed Halloween 2018 but not as much as the original or as much as Mike, of course. He gives it 3 out of 5 Reels. He loves the original without question. It setup an entire generation of slasher horror films. Matt gives the original Halloween 1978 4.5 out of 5 Reels!! Mike really enjoyed the latest version of Halloween more than he expected. He awards it 3.5 out of 5 Reels. The guys both agreed that the original is still better and just an all around incredible ground breaking film. Mike gives Halloween 1978 4.5 out of 5 Reels as well!
Thanks for listening and make sure you catch Halloween 2018 in the theaters unless you hate horror movies or the Halloween series. It is well worth the price of admission. We will be back on Thursday with another horror film for our month long Harvest Horror Fest when the guys talk about one of their favorites a sci-fi horror movie, Event Horizon. Have a great week.
