Welcome Horror freaks and geeks to the pilot episode of the Kingdom of Horrors podcast! Today, we are tackling a classic: John Carpenter's original Halloween. This mega-hit made for practically nothing is often considered the first slasher that created the whole genre. Listen in as host Vincent Pastor discusses the history of the slasher genre, the complex underlying themes of the film, the intricate cinematography, and the legendary characters of Michael Myers and Laurie Strode. And stay tuned at the end to hear our Bedtime Story! This week's story takes us to an abandoned house in a little Pennsylvania town where two young teenagers will try to find out if the legend about a local boogieman is true... Hope you get a good scare!
