"You know, it's Halloween. I guess everyone deserves one good scare, huh?"
~Sheriff Leigh Bracket (Charles Cyphers)
Disclaimer: I LOVE Halloween, and I LOVE the Halloween movies, well, most of them anyway! Let's start all the way back at the original, 1978's, Halloween. The wonderfully low budget slasher film, about an escaped mental patient with a mission to continue inflict his murderous rage on the fine folk of Haddonfield, Illinois. It's a slasher film, true enough, but it's a lot more than that, it's a film about survival! Laurie Strode is my favorite of the "final girls" because she was right around my age when the movie came out. She was a babysitter, and so was I. But she had resilience, something I desperately needed to learn. Laurie, as late as 2022, in, Halloween Ends, has taught me to get back up and keep going. Everything she says about Michael Myers, and evil in general, is 100% true. And I have used all her lessons over the years to face my very own Michael Myers. So yes, in that Halloween is just four days away, it seems like the perfect film for the movie of the week choice! Be sure to catch the newest installments in the Halloween series, Halloween, Halloween Kills, and Halloween Ends.
I'm such a nerd about these things!
And now, a little music!
