Halloween Movie Night




We're watching two Halloween movies making this the theme-iest theme night until Friday, January 13th.



Wait, I forgot about Christmas:



And Bubble Bath Day (January 8th):

 

Halloween III: Season of the Witch is Tom Atkins' 6th BMN movie.



After part 2, John Carpenter's idea for the Halloween series was to have each movie be an unique story that occurs on Halloween. I think that was the right idea. Unfortunately Michael Myers was brought back for part 4 but at least it led to a kid in a Mask costume being featured in a major motion picture:




Why are all my favorite childhood cartoons/toys obscure? Mask, Tranzor Z, Battle Beasts, GUTS, M.U.S.C.L.E. men. Was I a hipster child?



A major plot point in Halloween III involves a mask manufacturer named Silver Shamrock and it looks like a make-up company wisely chose that name.

Once in college for a course called Sex on the Brain we spent a whole class watching True Lies just to determine if the rumor that Jamie Lee Curtis is an androgen-insensitive male is true. I lobbied hard for Halloween instead but failed when the instructor claimed he would be too scared. Wiener.

This will be John Carpenter's 7th movie at BMN that he directed (he only produced Halloween III). Godfrey Ho is the next closest with 5. How about we keep this rivalry alive with some Godfrey Ho movies next week?

The AV Club has a nice write up today on Carpenter's career

Here's what happened last week (NSFW):
