Tonight on Weird Darkness, I'm sharing the complete audiobook novelization of John Carpenter's Halloween—a chilling adaptation that delves even deeper into the mind of pure evil than the film ever could.Support our Halloween “Overcoming the Darkness” campaign to help people with depression: https://weirddarkness.com/HOPEIN THIS EPISODE: A rare and haunting treasure: the long-out-of-print novelization of John Carpenter's 1978 horror classic *Halloween*, written by Curtis Richards. True to the original film but filled with deeper, darker layers, this book explores a chilling supernatural origin for Michael Myers, weaving ancient Druid lore and the eerie roots of Halloween itself into the fabric of his story. With scenes even more provocative than the film, I'll be sharing a carefully edited version that captures the terror and suspense of this horror gem—without pushing the limits of decency.CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = Show Open00:03:21.002 = Prologue00:14:05.543 = Chapter 0100:24:48.233 = Chapter 02 00:36:39.672 = Chapter 0300:45:47.801 = Chapter 0401:06:41.945 = Chapter 0501:19:34.249 = Chapter 0601:34:50.315 = Chapter 0701:41:32.696 = Chapter 0802:16:07.060 = Chapter 0902:21:37.512 = Chapter 1002:52:46.384 = Chapter 1103:10:50.006 = Chapter 1203:29:41.283 = Chapter 1303:54:23.049 = Chapter 1404:16:07.250 = Chapter 1504:44:38.926 = Show CloseSOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…BOOK: “Halloween” the movie novelization by Curtis Richards: https://amzn.to/3NM2TCR, https://amzn.to/3UTkP2DMUSIC: “The Shape” by White Bat Audio: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/WhiteBatAudioWeird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library. = = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

Boy meets car. Boy loves car. Car loves boy. Car turns homicidal. Yes, 1983's horror movie, "Christine" asked audiences to buckle up and suspend disbelief. Audiences and critics were mixed back then, but the film went on to become a cult classic. But now, over four decades later, does this flick violate more than the Lemon Law? Can a 1958 Plymouth be scary? Can evil cure vision challenges? And why are Arnie (Keith Gordon) and Dennis (John Stockwell) even friends to begin with?

SCREEN THAT CALL FROM BEYOND…THE GRABBER IS BACK IN BLACK PHONE 2!Blumhouse pictures looks to break its poo-poo streak (Exorcist:Believer, The Wolf Man, M3G4N 2.0, The Woman in the Yard, Drop) with Black Phone 2, the sequel to the wildly successful first film. Based on a short story by Stephen King's son Joe Hill, the sequel is directed by genre friendly director-writer Scott Derrickson who also helmed the Sinister films and Doctor Strange. Starring returning actors Mason Thames (who is on a hot streak as the current IT actor), Madeleine McGraw, Miguel Mora, and Ethan Hawke, is this sequel a worthy expansion of the Grabber storyline/universe or is it just silly “bigger, bolder, better but more of the same”? ACCEPT THE CALL AND MASK UP FOR THE NEW WATCH SKIP PLUS!!!!October is still “Spooky Season”, and Mike has capsule reviews of horror films - John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness, VHS Halloween, I See You, and spotlights director Brandon Christensen whose Shudder exclusives have become WillDaBeast must see's.

After a longer than usual break, the Heroic Purgatory podcast is back with a Halloween special, covering none other than John Carpenter's Halloween (1978). John and Jason discuss this horror classic's aesthetics, historical significance, and its metaphorical representation of patriarchal norms. We also talk about the sequels. Enjoy the discussion!

Join Jim and John as the sink their teeth into (I did it, I made the dumb, obvious joke) one of John Carpenter's less appreciated, but still fun flicks: Vampires. This Western/Horror hybrid follows Jack Crow (James Woods) and his band of vampire hunters sponsored by the Catholic church on their crusade of eliminating "goons" or vampires from the face of the earth. The crew bites off more than they can chew (I did it again, folks!) when they run afoul of a particularly powerful master vampire; Valek. John and Jim laud this silly but awesome relic from the past while also reminiscing about a bygone error of similarly silly movies. After the two run through the movie they discuss their excitement about HBO's upcoming series, It: Welcome to Derry. Spoiler alerts out there to any folks that haven't ready the Stephen King penned masterpiece. So, sit back, crack a cold one and enjoy these fools talking about movies.

Cori returns to the show to revisit one of the most iconic horror films of all time—John Carpenter's Halloween. Together, we dive into what makes this slasher classic so enduring, from its unforgettable cast and Carpenter's masterful direction to the chilling moments that still hold up decades later.

Jared discusses the dozen films he watched at this year's Mill Valley Film Festival. Joe recommends a recent Japanese film and revisits some horror classics from John Carpenter. Michael catches up with a horror sequel and a comedy franchise reboot.
When Max Planck began his ground-breaking work on quantum theory, do you think he realised it would be used to prove Satan is a flask of slime in the basement of a San Francisco church? This is - we think - the plot of Prince of Darkness, in every way John Carpenter's weirdest film. Its bizarre plot involves precognitive dreams, clerical conspiracies and possessed homeless people, the latter of which gives us the Alice Cooper cameo required to feature it on this show.Join Graham and Rob as they discuss the film's plentiful inspirations from Nigel Kneale, Carpenter's enduring second career as a composer and the role "supermensch" manager Shep Gordon played in getting Cooper on board. Plus a radioactively hot take from Graham on the film's possible real-world subtext...If you'd like to fund our research into ancient evil from a dark-matter universe, you can donate to our Patreon where you'll find a monthly bonus episode of this show - the latest one is about Seed of Chucky - plus weekly articles about The X-Files, The Twilight Zone and Doctor Who.

"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. The hair deserves its own Wikipedia page at this point. H20 is hardly a perfect movie, but we stand by that it has aged better than most of the sequels, including the recent David Gordon Green movies. It's Halloween, everyone is entitled to one good scare!

Check out Cam's latest novel / audio drama here! In this time traveling episode of Second Breakfast, we're finally tackling the godfather of the slasher genre, John Carpenter's Halloween. We start with a simple question: why is this the best slasher movie? The answer involves gestural structure and a paradoxical approach to pacing. We also get into a spirited debate about the mysterious motive of our beloved Michael Myers. Is he supernatural? Are his crimes random? What roles do sexuality and cultural puritanism play in this story? Finally, we revisit some of the best analysis of the film that we've done over the past five (!) years.

They've seen the original series & the Rob Zombie reboots... now the Scream Queens RETURN for their Blumhouse's Halloween Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Breakdown, & Spoiler Review! Forty years after John Carpenter's legendary 1978 classic, Halloween (2018) brings Michael Myers back to Haddonfield in a terrifying reboot/sequel from director David Gordon Green (The Exorcist: Believer, Pineapple Express) and Blumhouse Productions. Ignoring all previous sequels, this entry reconnects directly to the original, with Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis – True Lies, Knives Out) now a hardened survivor preparing for her final confrontation with The Shape. When Michael Myers (James Jude Courtney – Far and Away, Buffy the Vampire Slayer stuntman) escapes custody after a bus transfer crash, he embarks on a brutal killing spree through Haddonfield on Halloween night. Key moments include Michael's horrifying single-take rampage through suburban homes, Laurie's booby-trapped house showdown, and the fiery climax that reignited the franchise. The cast also features Judy Greer (Archer, Jurassic World) as Karen Nelson, Laurie's daughter; Andi Matichak (Assimilate, Son) as Allyson Nelson, her granddaughter; Haluk Bilginer (Winter Sleep, EastEnders) as Dr. Sartain; and Will Patton (Remember the Titans, Armageddon) as Officer Hawkins. With Carpenter returning to provide the chilling score, this Halloween revival blends nostalgia, suspense, and visceral horror for fans new and old.

The legend John Carpenter is producing a new supernatural anthology series.
Show notes provided by Chris LaBancaHumans are social creatures. We band together for support and protection, especially in times of danger. That tendency to rely on one another is arguably one of our greatest strengths as a species! Unless, of course, there's something out there counting on us doing just that. Something that can rub, and fray, and tear at those bonds of humanity until none of us can trust any single person. Somehow, impossibly, including ourselves.Join the Secret Origins crew as we huddle together for warmth and safety in an Antarctic outpost, and discuss John Carpenter's The Thing. But we (and the sled dogs) are not the only living creatures out here in this arctic wasteland. And we probably don't have long. Because, especially here, 'man is the warmest place to hide.'

Welcome to the Video Store Podcast.I'm the new guy, you can all me Pitfall Gary. Today is my first time running the store alone. I've spent the last couple weeks watching training videos and stuck on the automatic rewind machine. With Halloween right around the corner I have a few movies from the master of Horror himself, John Carpenter. Not the normal Carpenter movies, these are a few of his underrated and often overlooked movies.Carpenter directed and composed the music for all of these movies. He wrote The Fog and Prince of Darkness, the other two are adaptations. These are good movies to watch this Halloween season.The Fog (1980)As the small coastal town of Antonio Bay prepares to celebrate its centennial, a mysterious, glowing fog rolls in, carrying the vengeful ghosts of leprous mariners who were betrayed and killed by the town's founders a century earlier. The ghosts want their retribution, six lives, one for each of the founders. Now the descendants of the conspirators must fight for survival against the supernatural threat. A great movie starring the fabulous Adrienne BarbeauChristine (1983)Arnie Cunningham, a nerdy high school senior buys a dilapidated 1958 Plymouth Fury and names her Christine. As Arnie restores the car he goes through a personality transformation and becomes obsessed with Christine, which turns out to be a sentient, evil car with a deadly jealous streak. Christine begins to seek vengeance on Arnie's bullies and anyone else who threatens their bond. Red heads are evil…even when they're cars!Prince of Darkness (1987)The Brotherhood of Sleep have been guarding pure evil, in the form green swirling liquid for centuries. When the last member of the order dies evil will be unleashed on the world. Professor Birack and his quantum physicist students must unravel the mystery before it possesses them all and is unleashed on the world. A creepy movie with a great role for Alice Cooper.Vampires (1998)In this neo-western, Jack Crow and his Vatican-sponsored team of vampire slayers vow to kill every last vampire. With the help of a vampire prostitute, Jack must find and kill the powerful vampire, Valek before he can complete his transformation and become immune to sunlight. This is a great action packed, gore-filled vampire hunting movie!That's the list of John Carpenter movies for this week. Each a unique take on the horror genre. I hope you decide to watch them. If you do, let me know what you think.Thanks for stopping by The Video Store Podcast, stop by again for more great movies to add to your list.Thanks for reading Video Store Podcast!

¡Vótame en los Premios iVoox 2025! Mark Hamill siempre será Luke Skywalker. Su interpretación del jedi marcó su carrera en uno de sus primeros papeles y desde entonces ha tenido que luchar contra ello.

Tras su paso por la primera saga de Star Wars, fue el primer Amadeus en su versión teatral y se embarcó en una reputada carrera como actor de doblaje que le ha llevado a encarnar a personajes como el Joker animado y muchos otros más, Un auténtico fan de la cultura pop, que comparte muchas de nuestras aficiones: fan acérrimo de los Beatles y coleccionista de cómics y memorabilia.

“You see, Jason was my son, and today is his birthday.” We're back talking about an iconic 80s slasher for October, or shall we say our favorite slasher mother! We broke out our Friday the 13th box set and watched the original 1980 movie. Released on the coat tails of John Carpenter's Halloween to capitalize on the masked psycho killer craze. Made for a slim budget of $550,000, but becoming a sleeper hit and eventual genre touchstone of the decade. We talk about the classic slasher elements its writer, Victor Miller, and director, Sean S. Cunningham, put in their “rip-off” of Halloween. We add some of our favorite Friday hunks to the list. We see you, Peter, in your cut-offs and neck handkerchief! But more importantly, we give Betsy Palmer her flowers for her iconic performance as Mrs. Voorhees, the gag of all gags in horror movies.

The filmmaker John Carpenter has a whole shelf of cult classics: “They Live,” “The Thing,” “Escape from New York,” “Halloween,” and so many more. And while he hasn't directed a new movie in more than a decade, Carpenter has continued working in the film industry, composing scores for other directors (Bong Joon Ho recently approached him about a horror movie). He has also released albums of cinematic music—no film required—often working with his son, Cody Carpenter, and the musician Daniel Davies, his godson. The New Yorker Radio Hour producer Adam Howard talks with Carpenter ahead of the launch of his new small tour, just in time for Halloween, and they discuss the unusual shift he made from directing to composing. “It's a transition from pain to joy. Directing movies is very, very stressful,” Carpenter explains. “Playing music in front of a live audience—it's joy. It's just joy.” Carpenter suggests three inspirational scores from film history: Bebe and Louis Barron's electronic music for “Forbidden Planet”; Bernard Herrmann work on Hitchcock's “Vertigo”; and Hans Zimmer's music for “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest.”
