Happy Halloween everybody! It's the latest episode of our Halloween retrospective, as Howard and Dan turn their attention to the FIRST return (well, third if you count Halloween II as a return... although actually it never happened according to Halloween 2018 - never mind) of Laurie Strode, from 1998. For the first time, their usual Halloween review sidekick Spider-Dan couldn't make this one, but his boots are ably filled by actor Luke Richards. And yes, everybody calls the film 'H-Two-Oh', not 'H-Twenty', which is the only sensible way to read that title, but the damage done by the original marketing campaign can never be repaired, and it all started with the voiceover on the film's trailer - as you'll hear. Does anybody else wish they'd just called it 'Halloween 1998'?
Elsewhere, it's half-term, so Kirsty and Stella are able to rejoin Dan to chat over some news from horror and life, share some recommendations for Halloween weekend - and record a Missed Classic which we'll be releasing in a few weeks...
