25: Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers (w/ Matt Mercer)

While Andy and Mitch are gearing up for their LIVE show at Celluloid Screams, the wheels keep turning! So with that in mind and on the day that sees the Worldwide release of Blumhouse and David Gordon Green's Halloween, we thought that we would get in the spirit with an episode sure to get you in the mood!

Episode 25 sees Andy and Mitch joined by actor (Beyond the Gates, The Minds Eye, Contracted) and director of Frightfest favourite Dementia: Part II, Matt Mercer.

His chosen film? Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers!

Following the relative flatness of Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers, the sixth instalment in the slasher franchise almost feels like a welcome breath of fresh air as it makes bold attempts to take the franchise in new directions, while ramping up the violence. Is it successful? You be the judge of that.

Featuring the debut appearance of Paul Rudd, Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers is the last hurrah of a dying sub-genre. The Halloween film for the slasher fans just waiting for the release of Scream a year later.  

The synopsis is as follows: 

Since psychotic killer Michael Myers disappeared with his niece Jaime in a fire six years ago, the town of Haddonfield has been readjusting itself to come to terms with the horrors it has witnessed. Despite the warnings of psychiatrist Doctor Sam Loomis, the townsfolk are ready once again to celebrate Halloween. A shock is in store for all, however, when Michael makes a bloody return.
