Episode 64: HALLOWEEN II (1981)

As we leave the spooky season and head towards the holidays, what better way to celebrate the festive season than talking about the ULTIMATE Halloween franchise: HALLOWEEN! As a bit of extended coverage of our John Carpenter watch series, we discuss the 1981 direct follow up 'Halloween II'. What did we like and dislike about the film? John and Quinn discuss this sequel. Before that, we run through our newest watchlist entries and discuss what we watched this week. Before we even start the pod we were chatting chatting about some recent DVD/VHS acquisitions. Enjoy some extended pre-show content! Next week we will be back with the full gang chatting about the oddball of the series: HALLOWEEN III: SEASON OF THE WITCH.
