Michael Myers Minute lemming drops studio

Setting you up for the obsessive things to come, talking about me so we can get on to talking about Halloween.

The first minute is just opening credits, but with two of my sisters--who also grew up watching this film--talking about the 'Halloween' houses, Solarbabies, Blood Beach, Motel Hell, Rob Zombie's remake and why the original is scary. Plus, we talk about the first few credits--Mustapha Akkad, Donald Pleasence, Jamie Lee Curtis, Nancy Loomis, and PJ Soles--as well as Janet Leigh, the final girl, and what it means to be a slut.

The tail of end of my conversation with my sisters drifts from the opening credits of #Halloween to our favorite #horrorfilms and what #slasherfilms are all about.

The main title sequence comes to an end and we're in 1963, the Myers house, and we POV watch a teenage couple making out.

With talk about John Carpenter, about Samhain, and a bit from the novelization of Halloween.

About POV, about the nature of evil, and maybe a little bit about blenders

Candlesticks, chafing dishes, wrong clocks, transom windows, houses that are bigger on the inside, and the voices in Michael's head. From pyschosexual fury to the shadow of the cameraman, it is Minute 5 of Halloween.
