How to Survive: Halloween (1978)

How to Survive - A podcast by Joe Shervell and Chris Morris

Categories:

Episode 12 of How to Survive sees us talking about John Carpenter's Halloween (1978). This is our annual Halloween Special!  The movie is absolutely iconic for its key elements - many of which have now become horror movie tropes. Certainly a product of its time, but a fantastic film to discuss - especially when considering how to survive about the original horror movie slasher: Michael Myers. We talk about all the nonsensical actions of a criminal psychologist; what would constitute an 'appropriate' reaction to seeing a masked ghoul in your neighbour's garden; and the most important question of all: Who is teaching catatonic psychopaths how to drive? All of which leads to one big question: How would you survive? Whatever happens, one thing's for sure... butter ruins clothes! Another classic film solved by the best movie podcast in the world.
