Bret, David, and Alan reminisce about going to video stores and picking out horror movies based solely on cool VHS box art. Which ones turned out to be good, which ones sucked, and which ones do we still want to see?

Bret, David, and Alan have a spoiler-free discussion of the new Halloween movie: their overall thoughts on the film, what worked, what didn’t, the sights, the sounds, the mask, the humor, and the horror. They also rank it against the rest of the franchise (sans Part III), and ponder whether or not a Halloween film could be made that could coherently encompass and justify the plot of each entry.  They wrap things up by sharing some of their fondest Halloween memories from their childhood. Happy Halloween!
