Ep. 163 — HALLOWEEN (2018) with Jeremy Johnson

<p>Back in our Best of 2018 episodes, we had a poll to let our listeners vote on their favorite film of the year, dubbed the People's Choice for Best Psychotronic Film of 2018. We made a promise that whatever film should win would be the subject of a future episode of the podcast.</p> <p>This week, we're fulfilling that promise by taking a look at your favorite 2018 genre film, David Gordon Green's HALLOWEEN.</p> <p>When we covered the original HALLOWEEN franchise in October of 2018, we invited on friend of the show and HALLOWEEN super fan Jeremy Johnson for a couple of episodes, so we found it only fitting that he join us again for a look at this "recalibration" of the HALLOWEEN series.</p> <p>We'll discuss all of the behind-the-scenes drama that lead to the making of the film following the 2009 release of Rob Zombie's HALLOWEEN 2 (and the unmade sequels left behind in its wake), plus how the guy behind ALL THE REAL GIRLS and PINEAPPLE EXPRESS got involved in a horror film.</p> <p>And of course, we'll get into just how the film stacks up against its predecessors and how it fits into the current horror climate.</p> <p>Join us next week as we begin our countdown to our favorite film of 2019 and the announcement of your pick for Best Psychotronic Film of the year!</p> <p>Visit our website at <a href='https://www.psychotronicfilmsociety.com/'>www.psychotronicfilmsociety.com</a>.
