Quick Cuts Episode 008: Halloween Comfort Films

from Genre Exposure: A Film Podcast · host Genre Exposure

In this special bonus episode of Genre Exposure, Michael returns from his one block hiatus early to get in on the Halloween cheer. This time we're having a casual discussion about our favorite Halloween "comfort" films: the movies that we love to revisit every year around Halloween and that fill us with joy and nostalgia for the season. Before breaking down our lists, we also spend some time highlighting a few first time watches made during the month and take just a bit of time to express collective disappointment with the new Hellraiser and Halloween Ends. Of course, this is all just our opinion. We'd love to hear from you dear listeners as well. What are some of your favorite films to revisit every Halloween? Reach out via email or your social media platform of choice and let us known. From all of us here at Genre Exposure, we'd like to wish you a very Happy Halloween!
