Halloween (1978)

from Girls, Guts, and Giallo · host Annie Rose Malamet

Happy Halloween, freaky cuties! This one is a long time coming and I can't believe I haven't covered it yet. I just needed the perfect guest. Queer horror academic and scholar Morgan Woolsey joins me to discuss John Carpenter's low budget opus, Halloween. We talk about gender and sex in the slasher genre, the perils and definition of the final girl trope, why the iconic soundtrack works so well, and much more.
