PURPLE STUFF PODCAST: HALLOWEEN 2018! 

CLICK HERE TO LISTEN!

I see A LOT of horror movies. Whether I see them in the theater, buy them on DVD (I will never let go) or Netflix, iTunes, wherever, I’m always taking in a new horror movie or revisiting ones I’ve seen a billion times. That being said, out of those times, it’s mega rare that any of them are considered a massive event of horror culture. Halloween 2018 is an epic event for horror fans and being able to live through it is exciting. If you can’t wait to finish this post and just want to hear our thoughts on the movie NOW, then click the link above and listen to the latest Purple Stuff Podcast where me and Matt give our opinion on the film.

Michael Myers and Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis!) are back on the big screen and it warrants a huge homecoming party. The party isn’t all about streamers and punch, this includes blog posts, podcasts, youtube reviews, and basically the entire Internet coming together to be here for it. Halloween 2018 strives to not only be a great horror film but also a strong film period. In the simplest sense, it’s what I loved about it. Naturally, as with almost all films nowadays, there are detractors, but on a whole, the film seems to be receiving a ton of praise from horror freaks like us and the mainstream casual moviegoers alike. Being a part of this moment in time is like breathing rare air and it’s not lost on me at all.

I knew from the get go that this Halloween season’s main attraction would be seeing Halloween. From the cover of Fangoria and the Mondo magazine special to the Trick or Treat Studios mask, to the new Carpenter score – this is what it’s all about. Perhaps, some may not fathom just how big of a deal Halloween 2018 is. Even if you weren’t into the film and just aren’t on board, it’s imperative that we commemorate such an important occasion. This is a proper installment of the Halloween franchise which is not only good for the franchise itself and the horror movie genre, but it will also likely give a kick in the pants to some of our other old friends like Freddy and Jason. In the next few years if we can all reunite with Michael, Jason, and Freddy, we’ll all be really happy campers.

The guy who started it all is the one who has come back to stir it up again, and he hasn’t skipped a beat. A big thank you to the team who made the film for giving me the chance to experience Michael Myers the way he was intended to be once again.
