Halloween (1978)

Episode 72 of Brook Reading falls during our massive podcasting and arts event celebrating all things ghoulish and gory, All the Horror!  I sit down with Victoria, the host of TWO - yes, count them - TWO Horror themed shows on YouTube, indie/cult/horror, and The Horror Academic (on which I recently appeared).    Tonight, we continue our conversation of the John Carpenter (AND Debra Hill - see what I did there?) classic, “Halloween” (1978).  This film is a classic for so many reasons, including the many scenes discussing rampant teenage ass… (you’ll just have to listen).  We also discuss the role of women in horror, get Vic’s expertise on the final girl and slasher movies, gush the amazing, instantly recognizable score of “Halloween”, as well as all of the talented people involved in an undertaking that would take on a life of its own.     During this October, take a moment and follow #Allthehorror or follow @allthehorror18 on Twitter to continue receiving updates on the daily content provided by some of the most talented podcasters and creatives I have had the privilege to work with.  You can also support the charity organization Scares That Care by purchasing All the Horror merch at the link below.
