Part 2 in the John Carpenter Terror Timeline is here! This week we're exploring the quiet coastal town of Antonio Bay where a deadly 100 year old secret has returned for vengeance. Find out how Carpenter himself hated the original cut of the film, but managed to find the movie he wanted via reshoots and post production, the full scoop on the greatness of Tom Atkins, how it was odd that Jamie Lee Curtis was cast in a supporting role but the marketing used her image to sell the film and so much more!)

SHV - S06E01 - Halloween (1978) Remastered
For season 6 we're diving into the life and career of the man we consider the greatest of all time, the legendary John Carpenter. Long time listeners may remember we broke down the movie Halloween back in season zero "The ABCs of Horror" which left us in a pickle. We couldn't examine the horror films of Carpenter in a full season without including Halloween, but we'd already done an episode on it! Our solution, over 30 minutes of brand new content AND the old episode combined into one brand new introduction to the John Carpenter season. Without further delay, the John Carpenter: Terror Timeline Season has begun!!!!
