NOTE: This podcast was rebranded on 5/29/25 as "Horror Movie Franchises".
This week we discuss arguably the most important franchise in horror history. "Halloween" started the slasher genre and has given us many of the now commonplace horror tropes-- the virginal final girl, the unstoppable killer, the rally at the end, etc. There are 11 "Halloween" movies currently available with two more on the way. "Halloween Kills" is due for release in 2021 and "Halloween Ends" is due out in 2022. There are also five different timelines in the "Halloween" movies. Talk about confusing.
- Timeline 1- Halloween 1, 2, 4, 5, 6
- Timeline 2- Halloween 3 is a standalone move. it was slated to be the start of a yearly anthology series (but that didnt happen).
- Timeline 3- Rob Zombie's 2 Halloween movies from 2007 and 2009 exist separately from the rest.
- Timeline 4- Halloween 1, 2, H20 and Resurrection
- Timeline 5- Halloween 1, Halloween 2018, Halloween Kills, Halloween Ends
This week's recipe highlights pumpkins. The pumpkin plays a prominent role in the "Halloween" movies. It's part of the title credits in Halloween 1, 2, 3 (computer generated) and 2018. The past few years have seen an explosion of pumpkin spice products on the market. Check here for a sampling of 2020 offerings.
