Halloweenies: A Horror Franchise Podcast

The Halloweenies keep their favorite October tradition going! Last year, Michael Roffman and Dan Caffrey ventured to the Haddonfield Public Library to read Dennis Etchison/Jack Martin's 1982 novelization for Halloween III: Season of the Witch. This year, they're dusting off Nicholas Grabowsky's 1988 novelization for Halloween IV. Together, they discuss how the book feels more grounded than the film, the aesthetics bleeding off the page, the what-if Easter eggs, and where we go from here.

After taking a break to burn with a broken family of deadites in July, the Halloweenies return to their coverage of the Hellraiser franchise as summer burns off its last days in August. (Hopefully.) At last, we have arrived at Hellraiser: Hellseeker, the sixth entry in the series that went direct to video in Fall 2002. Together, Mike, Mac, and Rachel play with the puzzling, if not pretzeled, behind-the-scenes hell before diving right into the lake of fire with Mayhem, aka Dean Winters, and a familiar face in Ashley Laurence who may or may not actually be playing Kirsty. Eh, you'll find out why... Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com
