THE NIGHT HE CAME HOME—AND CHANGED HORROR FOREVER! Taking care of your health just got easier – start here with Zocdoc: https://zocdoc.com/REJECTS #sponsored Jackie Bonsignore & Jon Maturan experience John Carpenter's Halloween (1978) in this full movie reaction and review of the landmark slasher classic. Fifteen years after a horrifying childhood crime, Michael Myers escapes confinement and returns to Haddonfield, where babysitter Laurie Strode slowly realizes that the silent figure watching her may be far more than an ordinary man. From the chilling opening POV and Michael appearing behind the hedge to the ghost-sheet disguise, the iconic head tilt, Laurie's closet confrontation, and John Carpenter's legendary Halloween theme, Jackie & Jon encounter the night The Shape became a horror icon—all without spoilers here! Halloween (1978) Full Movie Reaction Watch Along:   / thereelrejects   Directed and scored by John Carpenter (The Thing, Escape from New York) and co-written by Debra Hill (The Fog, Halloween II), Halloween stars Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode (True Lies, Everything Everywhere All at Once), Donald Pleasence as Dr. Samuel Loomis (The Great Escape, You Only Live Twice), Nancy Kyes as Annie Brackett (Assault on Precinct 13, Halloween III), P.J. Soles as Lynda Van Der Klok (Carrie, Rock 'n' Roll High School), Charles Cyphers as Sheriff Leigh Brackett (The Fog, Escape from New York), and Nick Castle as Michael Myers / The Shape (Escape from New York, The Last Starfighter). Jackie & Jon discuss Jamie Lee Curtis' feature-film debut, Michael Myers' terrifying simplicity, Dr. Loomis' warnings, Dean Cundey's atmospheric cinematography, Carpenter's unforgettable score, the movie's slow-building suspense, its most influential scares, and whether the original Halloween remains the greatest slasher movie ever made.

 by Patrick BromleyChicago's biggest and best horror convention returns!One of my favorite weekends of the year is Chicago's annual Flashback Weekend, the horror convention created and run by Mike and Mia Kerz that takes place in Rosemont, Illinois. It's three days of panels, parties, contests, vendors, celebrity guests, live music -- everything you could want as a horror fan. This will be my sixth year hosting panels at the convention, but I've been going to Flashback much longer than just these six years. I love it.This year's Flashback features a salute to 30 years of the Scream franchise, celebrates Halloween II, a Night of the Creeps reunion, features first-time Flashback appearances from Henry Thomas, Steven Weber, and the Silent Night, Deadly Night Santas, and even has Obsession co-star Megan Lawless making her convention debut (I get to host her panel on Sunday! Come on out!). Plus, this year sees the world premiere of a brand new Full Moon movie (relevant to my interests!), in-costume photo opps, Alan Howarth playing the score to Halloween II LIVE along with the film, a tribute to Svengoolie (the greatest horror host of all time), and so much more.One of my favorite things about Flashback -- besides all the cool guests and the chance to spend the weekend surrounded by horror stuff and horror fans -- is that it's a family-run convention and really feels that way. All of the proceeds from the con go into supporting the Midway Drive-In located in Dixon, IL -- the nicest and best drive-in in Illinois -- which they bought in 2007. I love that Flashback is dedicated to preserving the big-screen theatrical experience.From this year's press release:Flashback Weekend Chicago Horror ConventionJuly 31 - Aug. 2, 2026Hyatt Regency O'Hare Chicago, Rosemont, IL  60018 Tickets now on sale at www.flashbackweekend.comFlashback Weekend Chicago Horror Convention celebrates its 25th year with a MASSIVE Celebrity guest line-up, amazing evening events, luxurious after-parties, an enormous vendor room, and special Celebrity costume Celeb Photo-Ops.All of this and more, taking place in one of the largest and most beautiful Convention hotels in the World!FLASHBACK WEEKEND 2026 SALUTES;-30 years of SCREAM! Horror Icons! Tribute to the 1980's Golden Age of Horror!"OBSESSION" (2026)!!!

It's Friday the 13th (or close enough), so Matt and Todd return to horror with a classic franchise.Today we invite you into the unholy terror of:Return of the Blind Dead(or if you prefer)Attack of the Blind Dead(or if you prefer)Attack of the Evil Dead...or honestly, pick a title and it might be right.Ostensibly the second entry in the Blind Dead series, Return/Attack of the Blind/Evil Dead is better described as a reboot, remake, or re‑imagining. It brings back the iconic death‑knights on horseback, but trades the slow‑burn moodiness of the first film for a more energetic, chaotic, and action‑forward tone.Matt argues that Return of the Blind Dead is to Tombs of the Blind Dead what Dawn of the Dead is to Night of the Living Dead: a bigger, louder, more exciting evolution. It's cheaper and it shows at times, sure, but it gets to the carnage faster and delivers some genuine chaos and horror that still hits hard 50+ years later.Directed once again by Armando de Ossorio, this Spanish horror sequel is further proof that 1970s Europe was very much alive… with the dead. It stars:Tony Kendall as Jack MarloweWhit Bissell Award Winner Fernando Sancho as Mayor DuncanEsperanza Roy as VivianLone Fleming as AmaliaFrank Braña as HowardJosé Canalejas as MurdoThis one is weirder, campier, and more chaotic than the original. If you didn't like the first one because it was too slow, this might be the Halloween II to your Halloween?

Editors - Esther Sokolow, Glenn Garland ACE and Matthew V. Colonna ACE IT: Welcome to Derry editors Esther, Glenn and Matt had never worked together prior to the new HBO series, but quickly formed a family bond that translated into a fun and creative cutting room.  Their antics included scaring unsuspecting tourists taking the Warner Brothers tram tour past their offices.  And you know what Jack Torrance says about "all work and no play"! Developed by Andy Muschietti, Barbara Muschietti and Jason Fuchs, It: Welcome to Derry is based on Stephen King's 1986 novel It and is a prequel to the films It (2017) and It: Chapter Two (2019).  The series takes place in 1962, when a couple and their son move to Derry, Maine just as a young boy disappears.  With their arrival, bad things begin to happen in the town.  Again. ESTHER SOKOLOW Esther Sokolow is a Los Angeles-based editor who specializes in genre-rich storytelling, bold characters, and projects with cinematic scope.  Esther's collaboration with IT: Welcome to Derry showrunner Andy Muschietti began on IT: Chapter Two, where she served as 1st Assistant Editor, and continued on The Flash, where she was promoted to Additional Editor. Her work bridges studio tentpoles and independent character dramas, with a focus on horror, psychological thrillers, and supernatural themes. Her early film diet of Hitchcock, classic mysteries, and silent comedies provided provided inspiration for an editor drawn to tension, timing, and the emotional weight of what's unspoken. Later, the spectacle of The Lord of the Rings sparked a love for scale and the thrill of stories that move an audience. Originally from Atlanta, she moved to California to study Film Editing at Chapman University. In 2015, she was selected as an honorary intern for American Cinema Editors (ACE), an experience that shaped her early career and inspired a commitment to both craft and mentorship. Esther now speaks on an annual panel for the ACE Internship Program and serves on MPEG's Apprenticeship and Growth Committee, supporting the next generation of editors and assistant editors. Before stepping into the editing chair, Esther worked as an assistant editor on feature films including Rampage, Bloodshot, The Guilty, Stronger, Fall, and Rememory. She also worked in-house as a VFX Editor at Method Studios, contributing to Guardians of the Galaxy and San Andreas. Her years supporting other editors honed more than technique; they taught her to listen to pacing, to performance, and to subtle story beats others might overlook. That same quiet attention now shapes her own work. GLENN GARLAND, ACE Glenn Garland is television and film editor with more than twenty years of experience in the entertainment industry. In addition to cutting IT: Welcome To Derry, other impressive TV credits include Poker Face, The Vampire Diaries, Preacher, Banshee, Stan Against Evil, and Altered Carbon. Glenn's equally notable feature resume includes editing Rob Zombie's Halloween and Halloween II, the critically acclaimed King of California, The Turning, Lords Of Salem, The Devil's Rejects, Black Box and most recently Broke.

"Can I please get another glass of Chardonnay please?" We're back on our horror icon Michael Myers this week as we look back at Halloween: H20. Released for the 20th anniversary of John Carpenter's original summer of 1998, it was an early capitalizer of nostalgia culture, this time scrapping 4, 5, and 6 (The Thorn Trilogy) in favor of a more streamlined story. Jamie Lee Curtis is back playing Laurie Strode, after a seventeen-year hiatus. Laurie is in hidding after faking her own death after the events of Halloween II, and is the head mistress of a excluvie west coast boarding school. It's the type of soap oprea backstory we love, and the Spanish style board school gives it an odd flavor that all of the movies don't have. The end result is a short and sweet little 90s post-Scream slasher. Seriously, with credits, this movie runs a brisk 86 minutes, that includes the  ten-minute prologue before the credits. When JLC appears on screen, there are under seventy minutes left! We talk about Kevin Williamson's uncredited rewrite, its very WB-friendly cast, and don't worry, we talk extensively about Josh Harnett's goat-crewed bangs.

Rob Zombie's Halloween II (2009, Director's Cut) takes the brutal reimagining of Michael Myers to an even darker, more surreal level. Picking up after the bloody events of the first film, Laurie Strode (Scout Taylor-Compton – An American Crime, Sleepover) struggles with the trauma of her survival, battling nightmares, violent outbursts, and the shocking truth of her family connection to Michael Myers. Meanwhile, Michael Myers (Tyler Mane – X-Men, Troy) embarks on a nightmarish journey haunted by visions of his mother Deborah Myers (Sheri Moon Zombie – The Devil's Rejects, Lords of Salem) and a ghostly white horse, driving his relentless pursuit of Laurie. Loomis (Malcolm McDowell – A Clockwork Orange, Time After Time) exploits the massacre for fame with his controversial book, adding tension and chaos as Haddonfield prepares for another bloody Halloween night. Featuring some of the film's most infamous and disturbing moments, including Laurie's descent into madness, Michael's brutal rampages, and the polarizing finale of the Director's Cut, this version of Halloween II pushes boundaries and remains one of the most divisive slasher sequels ever made.

From growing up with parents who didn't understand why he would possibly want to work in the entertainment industry… to finding personal peace and joy in the edit suite as opposed to enduring the chaos of being on-set… to why as an editor it can be easier to separate yourself from the overall production process and just focus on the story being told… to starting out working as a dialogue editor for the late Roger Corman on ultra low budget films (even though he didn't know anything about cutting dialogue)… to why he has enduring affection for THE FANTASTIC FOUR (1994)… to making the transition from cutting on film to cutting digitally… to how he first wound up working with Rob Zombie on THE DEVIL'S REJECTS and the incredible working relationship they've had ever since… to stories from working on RZ's HALLOWEEN (2007) and HALLOWEEN II (2009)… this is a fantastic conversation that brings you beyond the set and into the dark room where it all comes together.
