Screen Cleaning

We’ve been talking about it all month long, and today is the day. We put 16 Halloween and scary movie classics up against each other to determine the ultimate October movie. Movies were categorized as either Kids & Family, Comedy, Suspense, or Monster. A panel of 3rd party judges determined their winners, along with hundreds of entries from listeners, and of course Jeff and Cole’s picks. Today we spend the show talking about each of these movies, and why they are great! Listen close to see if your favorite gets to move on.

And for final reference to the bracket, even if voting has closed, check it out at:

We've been getting into the Halloween spirit with horror movies and TV so far this month, but what about the other harvest time activities for families? The young kids might want to visit a pumpkin patch or maize maze. Teenagers love haunted houses and hayrides. And the whole family might enjoy some suspense theater. Producer Mickey visited some of these haunted attractions, and brought a recorder too. Now we all can visit these Halloween haunts from the comfort (and safety) of home. Jeff also interviews the owner of Castle of Chaos in Salt Lake City and gives a couple more scary movie reviews.

Don't forget next week is our big Halloween Movie Bracket episode. You can enter to win a free Audible code by picking your winners, taking a picture of the whole bracket, and sending it to our email at [email protected].

There is no director that embodied the classy side of horror more than Alfred Hitchcock. Each film, along with its Bernard Herrmann score, put viewers on the edge of their seat. And from our Clean Screens perspective, we also appreciate being scared without having the gore, language, or sexual content that usually accompanies the horror genre. That’s why the Master of Suspense has earned his own show during our month or horror, with special academic guest Kimball Jensen from the BYU Film department. Also Jeff reviews the two big family scary movie releases this October, The House with a Clock in its Walls and Goosebumps 2, and gives a spooky Panning for Good that Twilight Zone fans will be happy to hear. Warning: listening to Screen Cleaning won’t cause Vertigo, but it might cause you to go out and watch it.

There is a bite in the air, leaves are falling, and October is here. Screen Cleaning will be celebrating Halloween all month long, and today we focus on anthologies and mixed tapes. Sometimes a whole two-hour movie is just too much to fit into the busy schedule of parents and kids. Today Jeff and Cole focus on horror stories of more digestible lengths. If you had a six-hour tape, how would you fill it with your favorite spooky TV episodes or features from anthology movies? Jeff also compiled some short stories to listen to on audio book (or just read). If books aren’t your style to listen to in the car, Cole has a Halloween playlist of music to get you in the creepy, cooky, or spooky mood. We kick off the month in style, a gothic and rotting style, here on Screen Cleaning.

Dorothy was right that there is no place like home, but what makes your home feel like home? Documentarian Brad Barber is on the show today to talk about his series States of America, where each episode asks that question of one person in each state. When the official interview portion of the program is done, Jeff and Cole play a little 50 States Trivia, mainly about movies, but with other geography questions as well. Also Jeff reviews the new movie out today Smallfoot, we argue in The Movie Court, and Producer Mickey inducts another movie onto Mickey’s Mantle. You’re not in Kansas anymore (unless you live in Kansas of course) here on Screen Cleaning.
