Author Luke Merrick is our special guest as we unpack the horrors of Halloween (1978), the blank-faced Shatner mask that launched a thousand ships — or 10,000 slasher movies.
The Madmen talk Ted, kill quality, Jason makeup and “doppelgänger Muffins” for the last time as we wrap up our insanely through analysis of Friday the 13th Part 2!
What does that last perfume squirt reveal about Vickie? Who set the rope snare, and why did Jason bring Terri’s body back to his shack?

Our magnificent cinematic ordeal concludes with the Sawyer clan’s unique brand of “hospitality” and Sally’s night of terror in the Texas scrub. It's one of the most grueling third acts ever... Rev up your saws!
