S1E25 - Halloween (1978)

"The night HE came home!"

It's only one of the most important and most influential films on the slasher sub-genre as well as an important stop-gap between the gritty one-off slashers of the early 70's and the mayhem-filled sequel fest that was the 80's: Halloween. How does it hold up in modern times though? Hard to say exactly but we discuss our personal opinions on it. What is the importance of sex here? What are some themes? Are there any themes at all or is it just a movie that some dude made? Probably the latter. Gather around for what is to be our last foray into the classic heavy-hitter slashers.
