The slasher genre of the 1980's looks very different from what it does today in 2026. In the first episode of the series, I deep dive into the long history of the genre and discuss how it shaped Hollywood, how it was revived time and time again, and how an element of it is lost forever.

Join me as we talk about the highs and lows of the slasher genre, how it was saved by Scream & where it stands today in 2026.

Hello everyone and welcome to today's installment of Beyond The Mask. Today, we're going to be taking a closer look at the disturbing birth of Michael Myers. This event occurs during two timelines within the Halloween universe but, in my opinion, could be used in several others as well. Dr Loomis wanted answers regarding Michael's behaviour, he sought the help of a former mid-wife who helped bring Michael into the world. She had some interesting facts about the dark, disturbing way that Michael was brought into the world. All of this combined, added to Dr Loomis' final assessment...that Michael was the product of pure evil.

Hello everyone and welcome to today's installment of Beyond The Mask. Today, we're going to be taking a look at the backstory of Black Christmas' sorority serial killer, The Moaner (Aka Billy). Little is known about the character on-screen, but directory of the 1974 movie, Bob Clarke, shed some light on what exactly Billy's backstory was. In today's episode, I have written my own prequel of sorts, based off of Bob Clarke's writings in the hopes of expanding this long-wondered backstory about who...this killer really is.

Hello everyone and welcome to today's episode of Beyond The Mask. Today, we're going to be taking a look at a themed pattern that seemingly occured in Scream 2, right before it was abandoned with no particular warning. In this video, I assess both the killers in Scream 2 and explain why this wasn't carried out like it should have been. The reality of this situation, was that Mickey Alteri and Mrs Loomis were not working together and were in fact more seperate in terms of plan. How did this impact the pattern? Why was it changed following CiCi's murder? I discuss all this and more in this episode.

Hello everyone and welcome to today's installment of Beyond The Mask. Today, we are analyzing an easter egg featured in Scream (1996), which was one of the man clues that suggested Stu Macher was a killer. So why DID Stu Macher have dolls hanging in his attic space? What significance do they hold? In this video today, I discuss my own theory as to what the dolls represent and why Stu kept them around on display in his attic space.

Hello everyone and welcome to today's installment of Beyond The Mask. In today's episode, we're going to be taking a closer look at one of the deleted backstories for Michael Myers. The backstory comes from the first issue of Chaos! Comic's Halloween series. The idea was to explain in detail why Dr Loomis came up with his final assessment about Michael. It detailed his life in Smith's Grove and how dangerous he became. In this video today, I read through the backstory and provide you guys with every single incident that happened at Smith's Grove whilst Michael was there.

Welcome to another installment of Beyond The Mask: Halloween Explained. In today's video, we're going back to 1963 and taking a deep dive into the backstory of Michael Myers and revealing exactly what his final words where. Many characters throughout the Halloween movies have speculated about what exactly Michael's final words may have been, or why he's so reluctant to talk. The Halloween Novelization provides us with some further insight into what actually happened on Halloween 1963 & what Michael's final words actually were.

Welcome to Beyond The Mask: Halloween Explained. Today, we are discussing Michael Myers once again, as we try to understand why Michael constantly kept returning to the Myers house throughout the course of Blumhouse's Halloween trilogy (and the 1978 movie also). Was it some external force? What exactly was Michael looking at as he glanced through the window of his murdered sister, Judith Myers? The novelization for the 4 movies and some of the expanded works actually provide great insight into Michael. So join me today as we desconstruct this serial killer & his reasonings for returning to the family home.

Hello and welcome to Beyond The Mask. Today, we're going to be discussing the deat of Tatum Riley. Or more specifically, why Billy Loomis directly wanted her out of the picture. In order to understand this, we have to take a bigger look at what Billy's overall plan was and why Tatum may have been a hinderence to it. Why did she hold a significant threat to his plan? Sit back and relax as I discuss all of this in this episode of Scream Theory.
