Horror Movie Podcast Ep. 159: Halloween (2018)

Happy Halloween, horror fans! This is Horror Movie Podcast, where we’re Dead Serious About Horror Movies! We’ve finally reached the end of our epic October celebration. Along the way, we’ve brought you 12+ reviews of the entire Puppet Master and 10 reviews of the Hellraiser franchise, over 4 episodes. That content wouldn’t have been possible without friends and listeners like Vicious Victor, Fiendish Fitz, The Gillman and CakeWolf. We’ve also brought you our #31DaysofHalloween written reviews, which wouldn’t have been possible without friends and listeners like Sal Roma. We also have a special surprise for one lucky listener who will be the winner of a print of the original Halloween artwork above by artist (and HMP listener) Peter Strain (@Peter_Strain on Twitter). Check our official @HorrorMovieCast Twitter later today (October 31st, 2018) for more info on that. We’re so grateful for our amazing community here at Horror Movie Podcast, we want to bring you even more content!

That’s why, to enhance you’re celebration, we’re bringing your our Halloween (2018) Extravaganza, with Horror Hero Justin Beahm! We’re celebrating the 40th Anniversary of John Carpenter’s Halloween (1978), the 30th Anniversary of Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988) and an monster review of the new Blumhouse release, Halloween (2018), directed by David Gordon Green.

We’re also bringing you an interview with Robin Block, the Executive Producer of the new documentary In Search of Darkness: The Definitive 80s Horror Doc, now on Kickstarter.

WE HOPE THIS EPISODE ADDS TO YOUR HOLIDAY CHEER AND FEAR. HAPPY HALLOWEEN FROM YOUR FRIENDS AT HMP! WE LOVE OUR LISTENERS!
