Night Howls

Ep. 41: Halloween (1978)


Listen Later

Happy October, Howlers! 

This week, Matt and Cody kick off the best time of year the only way they know how by covering their shared favorite and one of the greatest movies of all time: Halloween!

Before they start the film, the boys unearth memories of holidays past and dive deep into the history of the movie's creation including: how John Carpenter's life lead him to making it, speculation around who exactly came up with this idea, how Jamie Lee Curtis' Scream Queen lineage landed her the role, who else was up for the iconic Dr. Loomis, and what exactly could have happened to the mask all these years later. After that, the slashing continues in 5/4 time as they discuss all the behind the scenes facts you could want, weed-smoking teens who should probably fear the reaper, doom-saying dogs, novels for monologues, fateful lectures, and for one episode, who should win the Donald Pleasence Veteran Character Actor Award. Much like Laurie vs. Michael,  it's a tougher battle than you might assume. 

Grab your masks, knives, knitting needles, chemistry books, and a beer...."yeah", as your favorite ghouls celebrate the night he came home. 

Thanks for listening! Oh, Paul!
