It would have been awesome if we lived in the universe where Carpenter put out a completely different Halloween movie each year as he originally intended

Killer Whales are 50% bigger than Great White Sharks, and up to 3 times as heavy. Ergo, Killer — a story of plane crash survivors stranded on an ice floe attacked by a vicious orca — outdoes Jaws. That’s just science. open.substack.com/pub/horrorha... #horror #survival #adventure #booksky #horrorsky

This week’s horror movie recommendation is a favorite guilty pleasure… A classic slasher that somehow transcends its parody roots and exploitation-minded production #horror #horrormovie #horrorsky #slasher #filmsky
