Revisiting 40 years of Halloween movies

This weekend, Michael Myers returns to Haddonfield and to theaters with Halloween Kills , a follow-up to David Gordon Green’s 2018 “legacy sequel” Halloween . To commemorate his latest rampage through the sleepy Midwest town that should probably outlaw trick-or-treating and rubber masks at this point let’s be real, Film Club is taking a deep dive into the whole Halloween franchise, looking back on a dozen slasher movies (and one weird magic-mask outlier) released over the last 40-plus years, with an eye towards the cream of the pumpkin crop—beyond, of course, John Carpenter’s timeless and unimpeachable original. For our critics’ thoughts on Halloween Kills , check out this special bonus episode of the show. Visit: Like: Follow: See Privacy Policy at and California Privacy Notice at .
