Streams and Nightmares

Dave's Halloween special walks through the Halloween franchise from John Carpenter's 1978 original to Halloween: Resurrection. For each film you get a quick recap, where it's streaming and a score out of 10. On the way he covers the Thorn timeline, the masks that never looked right again, Paul Rudd's first screen credit and Busta Rhymes' kung fu fight. A good primer if you're planning a Halloween marathon. The post Streams and Nightmares – Halloween Franchise first appeared on NEOZAZ.

The highlights are Buffet Infinity, a horror story told entirely through fake local commercials, and Ick, a horror comedy with Brandon Routh and a 2000s soundtrack. Man Finds Tape and The Final Terror also get the thumbs up. He also warns you off a few, including Corey Feldman's The Zombie King.

Dave opens with a reminder that every NEOZAZ episode lives at neozaz.com, then runs through five streaming horror picks, each with where it's streaming and a score out of 10. Random Acts of Violence, Jay Baruchel's comic-book slasher, and 1987's The Believers with Martin Sheen are worth your time, and Haunt Season is one of the better haunted-attraction slashers. He's much less kind to the found-footage Char Man and to Netflix's The Last House, Greta Lee or not.
