I had the best time joining my friends on @getmeanotherpod.bsky.social to talk about the first (and my favorite) of the 'Halloween' sequels. Hope you'll tune in and enjoy 🎃

NEW BONUS EPISODE!!!

HALLOWEEN II (1981) picks up immediately after the original ends, producing a movie that is both similar to, and quite different from, John Carpenter’s classic.

Join us, along with special guest @carmelitasays.bsky.social, as we explore more of the night HE came home…
