"It was the Boogeyman..."
"As a matter of fact, it was."
-- Laurie Strode and Dr. Samuel Loomis, Halloween (1978)
Hello again, movie fans! My wonderful co-host Xan Sprouse and I are back with a new episode of Drunk Cinema! This time, we're watching Halloween, the 1978 slasher horror film directed by John Carpenter, introducing Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode, Donald Pleasance as Dr. Samuel Loomis, and Nick Castle as Michael Myers!
This time, Xan and I discuss things like Xan's father passing away, the worst thing about the Rob Zombie remake of Halloween, Donald Pleasance as the villain in The Pumaman, all the Halloween movies Jamie Lee Curtis has appeared in, Nick Castle directing The Last Starfighter, Annie Brackett begging to be killed in this movie, Charles Cyphers as Charlie Donavan in Major League, Halloween (1978) making $70 million from a budget of just $325,000, the terrifying opening credits pumpkin, the opening prologue with 6-year-old Michael Myers stabbing his sister Judith with a kitchen knife, wondering when Michael Myers learned how to drive a car, Xan's stance against bringing boys over to have sex while babysitting, Laurie turning a corner from dry streets and sidewalks to wet streets and sidewalks, how sunny California was made to look like Illinois in October, Rob Zombie and Eli Roth not having a lot of subtlety in the work, Tommy's stack of fake superhero comic books, wondering why no one bothers to turn on the lights when they enter a room, Annie honking the horn instead of opening the driver's side door, Dr. Loomis creeping on kids from the bushes, the Friday the 13th movies killing teenagers for having sex, Laurie's asshole neighbors that refuse to open the door and help her, Loomis knowing that shooting Michael Myers wouldn't be enough, both of us watching Moonlighting episodes on Hulu, our upcoming third anniversary of Drunk Cinema, paying tribute to Xan's father by watching The Maltese Falcon, and more!
