Original subtitles

Did you get my beer?

Cute, Bob.

Real cute.

See anything you like?

What's the matter, can't I get your ghost, Bob?

All right, all right. Come on. Where's my beer?!

You're weird.

I'm gonna call Mickey,

see where Paul and Annie are.

This is going nowhere.

Finally.

Hello.

Ah!

Ah! Ahhh!

Ah! Agh! Hello?

-Ah! Ugh! -All right, Adam.

First, I get your famous chewing,

and now I get your famous squealing?

Agh! Ah!

Ah! Adam, are you all right?

Aghhh! Ahhh!

Agh! Ah!

Are you fooling around again?

I'll kill you if this is a joke.

Hello.

Hello?

Welcome to "The Core."

Hey, that's my line.

John Carpenter's "Halloween"

is the foundation for modern horror.

In fact, it spawned the entire idea of the slasher franchise.

-Hah! -Aah!

I'm Chucky!

At the time it came out in 1978, "Grease" was the word.

"Superman" ticket sales were up, up, and away.

But then...

...a little flick about babysitters

terrorized by a faceless killer in a dime-store mask

suddenly slashed its way to the top of the box office.

Not since "Psycho" had the American public been so excited

by, well, a psycho.

The torch that scream queen Janet Leigh held alit

was passed to her daughter Jamie,

who became the original final girl.

John Carpenter took a film that nobody believed in,

set it to a simple piano melody, and, well, the rest is history.

Without it, there's no "Friday the 13th,"

there's no "Scream," there's no "Nightmare on Elm Street."

So why is it so effective?

Let's find out.

We have the perfect people here today to talk about "Halloween."

She's the heir apparent to Michael Myers

and the star of "Halloween 4," "5"...

-Uncle. -...and Rob Zombie's remakes.

Ah-aah!

His entire body of work is a love letter to '80s slashers,

none of which would be possible

without the original "Halloween."

It's Adam Green and Danielle Harris.

I just want to hear both of your thoughts

on how significant the entire franchise was.

When you think about how huge "Psycho" was...

It captivated the world.

And -- And then what?

I think Michael Myers was really the answer to that.

And what did they do with "Psycho"?

Like after "Halloween" started franchise horror

and "Friday the 13th," then we got "Psycho II."

Psycho

II.

Nowadays, they're all franchise horror.

But they're all looking for the next Michael Myers

and no one's really quite accomplished that yet.

-No one ever will. -I don't know why

that is, though.

Because Michael Myers is the king.

-'Cause he started it. -Yes.

You know, what's creepy about "Halloween"

is this person could be anybody.

Usually, someone in their family

kills them. It's not usually, Right.

you know, the -- the -- the crazed guy next door,

-Absolutely. -which you don't really know.

You're bringing up a really good point.

"Halloween" was so frightening because no one knows why.

That is why it was so scary.

And you didn't need to know anything else.

Michael got up, right?

You can't kill evil. Evil never dies.

That's what's so terrifying.

"Halloween" is the most iconic.

I mean, that music.

Everybody knows that music.

They all know what Michael Myers looks like.

Even if they haven't seen the movie, they know that.

And I think that movie is one of the most effective

because they went in and it wasn't to set up

"Halloween" I for "Halloween II." Danielle: Right.

Originally, it wasn't going to be

sequel after sequel after sequel.

Carpenter's original vision was to have the sequels

each be something different set on Halloween

and they tried that with "Halloween III,"

Danielle: Mm-hmm. which, at first, was rejected.

And Carpenter's movie was not bloody.

It wasn't relying on gore, but the sequels were

'cause that was the time.

Your imagination's always gonna be better

than whatever you see. Mickey: Totally.

That's why you never wanna show gags,

unless they're reallygood.

I wonder if it -- if it's gonna make that -- that --

uh, that trip right back to where it had started.

'Cause it seems like nobody buys it anymore.

Why do you think that we are so

enamored with Laurie Strode?

Why do you think that she's so significant?

It was the, uh, first time that heroine, the final girl,

really took over and beat the bad guy.

Mickey: Right. I mean, there's women sitting

in the audience that -- that may have wanted

to break free of whatever was happening in their life

-Yep. -And I think it was sort of

a-a moment to feel like

"Oh, my God, I can -- I could be strong.

I don't hate to hide.

I don't have to depend on a man.

I can rise above and -- and win at the end."

She was the girl next door.

I mean, she was the babysitter.

Everyone relates to that.

Maybe there's girls like me that are in the audience,

that are seeing those girls, and go like,

"I can do that, too.

I can get bad guy."

Woman: She's got a gun!

I killed him.

Adam, please tell us about how "Halloween" influenced

your entire filmography, really,

'cause "Hatchet" is clearly like

an homage to a lot of different slashers.

Were you makin' the film, saying,

"I want Victor Crowley to be as big as Michael Myers"?

Was that the intention?

Well, no.

I mean, you -- 'cause you can't.

-Yeah. -No one's ever going to make

a slasher movie like "Halloween" again.

I mean, the fact that he made something

that was so terrifying without needing gore --

or really even violence, when you really think

about it, but it was atmosphere and unknown.

And it just -- I mean, it still works to this day.

Aaaaaaaaaaah!

Danielle, obviously, you have

a filmography full of "Halloween."

I want to talk about how the films influenced you.

-Well, it really messed me up. -Yeah? How so?

-It did, yeah. -Aah!

Help me, please! Somebody!

I have nightmares.

It's really screwed up my life.

Aaaaah!

Ah!

I'm just kidding.

Um, I'm here.You're here.

Fairly sane.

Listen, I was 10, right?

So I really had no idea, I think,

what I was getting myself into.

I was just, I think, superexcited to like

go to Utah and make a movie.

Well, the story with "The Shining"

is that the little kid didn't even know that

he was in a horror movie until the very end.

Clearly, that doesn't sound the case with you.

No.

No, I was excited.

-Yeah. -I mean, it was fun.

Everyone on set makes sure

that you are not scared

Mickey: Okay. and that you're having

a good time. You know, you got Sure.

a lot of aunts and uncles and people

playing with you and -- That sounded horrible,

but, you know, just saying.

You know what I mean.

The only scene they wouldn't let me be in, in that movie,

was in the car when he gets his head pulled off.

-Aaaaaaah! -Arggggggghhh!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

They'd stick me on an 18-foot roof and --

with no harness and throw me -- you know, make me slide down

and do all kinds of other horrible things,

but that was the one they wouldn't let me do.

I had a great experience.

I think, if it weren't for "Halloween,"

I wouldn't have a career.

I was at a convention

last year and there was a woman.

She had her daughter with her

and she was shaking and crying

and -- and she said, "This is Jamie.

This is Jamie." And I was like "Hi, Jamie."

And she's like "No, I named her after you."

And I took a moment and I said,

"You do realize that I...

killed my...

mother in the movie, right?"

Like, I mean, it's scary to watch.

When "Halloween 4" comes on, I'm still glued to the screen.

It's just incredibly terrifying.

What scene, in any of the series,

stayed with you? I'm all over this. All right.

-Go ahead. -So, the opening

of "Halloween 4," I think,

is the best opening of any Hm.

slasher franchise, ever.

From the shots of farmland and that autumn coloring,

that is Halloween, the holiday.

And then, when they're taking him on the --

the gurney, and that first kill is so simple.

It's just a thumb in the head. Aaaaah!

No!

But it was suddenly violent and it was gory

and it seemed painful, and that was everything.

If you can evoke that kind of feeling

and then just deliver like that,

and it -- it's just perfect.

"Halloween," 300 grand,

basically, you know. Mm-hmm.

Carpenter composes the score

in three days or something, uses a mask

that he just bought of William Shatner.

Cost like a dollar to do.

Do you know the story of why William Shatner?

Like I don't know.

They just wanted something plain.

I think it was between like a clown mask

that they found and a William Shatner mask

and they were like "Uh..."

They bought it at the store.

There were -- "Star Trek" masks were out

and they just painted it white, and that was it.

I guess I owe the success of "Halloween" to William Shatner.

The Michael Myers mask is so iconic.

They chose it because it's William Shatner,

he had neutral features,

and they ended up having this happy accident

where they made a really iconic mask for nothing.

So we thought it'd be really fun

if we could try to do that again today on the show

with a whole bunch of different masks.

I wanted to see if you guys can can recognize

who these masks are

and if they're actually terrifying.

All right, so, let's go with this guy first.

What we do we think?

I'm gonna go with Lady Gaga.

-Oh. -Lady Gaga?

Terrifying, or just kind of lame?

Both: Kinda lame. Kind of lame?

This is...

David Bowie?! Ugh!

Wow!

How 'bout this one?

-Hillary Clinton. -Hillary Clinton.

And do we think...?

-Like... -It's the teeth.

I mean, this might be terrifying.

It is, in fact, Hillary Clinton.

So, let's go ahead with this one next.

Ohh! Man.

-I don't know. -I don't know,

but it's not scary. Both: Not scary.

Bernie Sanders?

Both: Bernie Sanders. And this one?

-Adam: The Rock. -It's the eyebrow.

You can tell from the eyebrow.

Terrifying, or...?

I would make him the lead of every movie.

The lead of every movie.

-Yeah. -It is...

The Rock. So you guys

could both smell what he was cooking.

-Yep. -Yes.

-What do we think? -It looks almost close

to the Myers mask.

It's not 'cause of those ears. Yeah.

But this might be on the creepy side.

Who is this?

John Cena.

John Cena?

-Wow! Okay. -Well, Mr. Cena...

you are, indeed, terrifying.

The next one. So, what do we think

of this guy? Adam: Gene Simmons? Uh, wait.

I have no idea who that is. I don't, either.

It is kind of scary, though.

But it would need different hair.

The hair's a little too fun. It's like a kids' party.

Like a horrible kids' party. Little too wacky.

-Yeah. -All right.

Let's see who that is. Adam: Let's see who it is.

Giuliani! Okay.

Danielle: Aww. Well, I think Hillary

was pretty scary. But --

-John Cena's the scariest. -John Cena's the scariest.

Mr. Cena, you win this round.

I'm gonna go as him for Halloween.

This feels oddly comfortable and...

familiar.

If you'll excuse me.

Did she just leave us?

Yeah, she probably -- she probably just left.

She's an icon. She can do whatever she wants.

Well, speaking of icons, let's check out

some iconic moments from the franchise.

Cute, Bob. Real cute.

Clearly, we love this one.

This one's very influential.

This is the perfect example of tension.

Yeah, it's a great exercise in trusting your audience.

The camera isn't moving around or trying to sell you,

"You're scared" or "This is suspenseful."

It's literally just a shape in a doorway, doing nothing.

Yet, the longer this goes on,

you're just building and building

and waiting for that release.

This is also sort of the beginning of,

"If you have sex in a horror movie, you will die."

Yeah, absolutely.

Uhh. Uhhhh.

So, this scene is great.

In the first one, we got to see that you can

knock the killer down or shoot him,

but he'll get back up.

But now, I mean, literally, take out his eyes --

like he's full-on supernatural at this point.

But he's also acting more human than we've seen him act.

He's signifying pain Ah!

and he can't see.

It was a great way to sort of humanize him

before killing him for good, supposedly.

All right. "Halloween 4."

Now, there -- there's so much to this scene.

I mean, look, it's an homage to the very beginning

of the original, and it was shocking at the time.

The fact that little Jamie Lloyd Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

goes and stabs her own mother

and her just standing there, covered in blood,

I mean, that is what made

Danielle timeless. No!

No! And the way Loomis is just

yelling, "No!

No, no, no, no!"

It's just -- Love it.

It's perfect.

Another great one from "Halloween."

The impalement.

So, what made this so memorable: i-it's not the death scene.

It's Michael Myers's reaction after,

the way he admires his work, almost.

He sticks this dude to the wall with a butcher knife

and then like slowly cocks his head to the side,

like looking at it.

You learn more about him through that head nod

than anything else.

The incredible reveal.

"Halloween," the original.

This is one of the first films

where the dead villain actually gets back up.

Yeah, the composition of that shot of him slowly rising up,

uh, is fantastic.

But the fact that the mask came off

and you saw a real man.

And he's a handsome guy, too --

that's the weirdest thing about it.

It's like he's not maimed.

He's not like an alien.

He's just a handsome young man on a killing spree.

You're right. He's not deformed.

He's not a monster.

He's -- He's the soccer coach next door.

He's your kid's -- your kid's teacher.

It's time. It's time.

Here is "Halloween III."

One of themost underrated movies of all times.

And the -- the -- the song,

and all it is is "London Bridge Is Falling Down."

-Yeah. -It's so simple.

Silver Shamrock masks.

Gather 'round your TV set.

Man, th-this death, and that it was as child,

-Yeah. -in front of his parents.

What a batshit insane third movie for the sequel.

Just a-a batshit movie in general.

-Aaaaaaaaaaaaah! -And just have it be this.

It's just brutal. Man, that stupid song's

gonna be stuck in my head forever now.

♪ Eight more days

♪ 'til Halloween, Halloween ♪

Oh!

So, while we deal with the paperwork

on that... Whoa.

...let's talk to Jim Ojala about decapitations.

Yes, absolutely.

When you do a decapitation, sometimes the head

wants to fall off and it's really cumbersome

and a big pain in the ass, so what we do is

we put a high-powered magnet in the neck stump

andin the stump of the head.

And -- boom -- it clicks on and it holds in place.

-Wow. That's crazy. -So no fuckin' around.

-Yeah, that's insane. -Yeah.

Jim: We've got a silicone skin.

We've got a nice mold of our unfortunate crew member.

And then we can cut right through his skin here.

Is this what you do for your front porch

for Halloween every year?

Yes. I can't wait.

That's -- I'm keeping this guy for this.

I thought I was cool, giving out

full-size candy bars. Clearly, uh,

-Hey. -you've got me beat.

Look at this. Hand-punched hairwork.

-Oh, my. -This is hand-punched.

Like we can cut right through his follicles.

And how long does something like that take?

This is usually like a good week of work.

And just like that, you've destroyed it.

Yes.

And this isn't just some foam-filled piece of crap.

Like we're scalping this guy.

Look at this.

100% medically accurate.

So, we got a hell of a scalp here.

And then...

gets...

Yeah. Oh, my God.

Now, did you make that brain yourself?

And that's what happens. Yes, I did.

Me and my beautiful crew did.

We got a cast of a real person's brain, a cadaver's brain.

Boom. Oh, my

-That's that. -God.

And then,we can start diggin' in.

Let-- Let's see what else is -- what we got here.

Like oh, we got -- happen to have a great melon --

uh, melon baller here.

Maybe we can get his --

get his eye out.

Ho-ly shit.

-Oh, yeah. -And that's a whole --

Look at that. You can squish it.

Man, you did such a good job with this.

-Here, you want one, too? -Yeah, I definitely do.

Here, you want -- you want to -- you want to yank that eye out?

I know. This is so elaborate.

It's like "Friday the 13th III."

-Whoa-oa! Like that. -Adam: Exactly. Yes.

And this is totally edible, too, right?

Oh, yeah, and you can squish it and everything.

It's beautiful. It's got real veins,

yeah. Oh!

This is seriously incredible, though,

because typically the hardest thing --

as we know, working with practical effects --

is you have to cut around it

all the time, to sell it.

Your angles are really important.

But you could literally just

completely dismember this head,

as we're seeing, Yes.

and it is all perfect.

It comes down to reverse engineering.

You've got a mold of the poor bastard's head,

and you just do you skin layer,

you do your fat layer, you do your blood layer,

and then you just back it up with muscle tissue

and all that shit. Then, uh,

let's see -- Yeah, let's see -- Lookit.

Yeah, you can cut this -- can cut this damn nose off, even.

-Oh, my gosh! -Yeah.

-And what's in...? Ohh! -Yeah. Look at this.

Nasal cavity with full cartilage accessory.

This is the part where

you tell us this is actually a real head

and you murdered somebody.

Yes, exactly.

What do you make the cartilage out of?

You know what that is?

Latex and cotton.

What went wrong, growing up,

do you think, Jim?

It happens.

You gotta be careful to cut around the mustache

'cause that's a whole nother custom piece.

And so this officially earns

our X rating for Shudder, right?

Who wants to peel the -- Who wants to --

-Oh, can I, please? -You're the guest.

Pull -- Pull that whole piece off.

Oh, this is great. Oh.

-Look at that. -I've always wanted...

-Dude -- -I can't even tell

the difference, right? Mickey: Like it fits you.

It fits you really well. Does it?

All right. Well, now I'm distinguished.

Another bonus of detail?

Let's pry this guy's skull apart.

What do you got in there?

-A tongue! -A tongue!

-Oh, my -- -Look at that.

-What else we have in here? -Now, Jim, this is incredibly,

insanely elaborate. How much

does this whole guy cost?

More than the budget of my last three films.

This is -- This is -- One of the big things is it's just time.

-Yeah. -You know, this is like

three people working for days and days.

Oh, God. So, you know,

you only get like --

like one real shot of this.

This is the money-shot gore, I think.

-Yeah. -Holy shit, Jim.

Adam, you're like the master of gore in film,

so have you ever done something similar to this,

th--this level of detail?

You know, it's funny 'cause you always

just set it up to the shot.

So there's never been a reason

to have something so elaborate

that you're gonna do as a oner,

although now I'm gettin' a lot of ideas.

-Right. -Yeah.

I have all the respect in the world

for what you and your team do because,

for an effect that usually would happen in a snap,

you guys spend months,

and then you just watch it all fall apart.

Mickey: Yeah. But

Jim: There's this pile of poop. it is so worth it.

Look at this! Yes.

It's so worth it. It's so detailed.

It's thousands of dollars, days and days of work.

Is there anything that we can do with this, you know,

once the scene's done, once it's out?

What if we did...?

Just -- Just stick with me.

What if we did

a human... Ahhh.

Jack-o'-lantern?

Ohh, shit.

Right?

Is that...?

Perfect for Halloween.

Right? Yeah.

I'm traumatized. I'm terrified.

Pop it wherever you want to.

Oh, come on. Do me next, do me next.

Mickey: The face of horror is often occluded.

We think Voorhees, we think Jigsaw,

we think Ghostface,

but, most of all, we think of

one Mr. Michael Myers.

Bottom line?

Masks are fuckin' creepy.

And here to talk about why

is "Halloween" franchise expert Sean Clark.

-Hello, sir. How you doing? -Sir, how are you today?

-Awesome. -So, as a expert of masks,

why do you think, on a basic human level,

we're just terrified of 'em?

Why do they always show up

in so many fuckin' horror movies?

I think it's just the unknown, you know?

Not knowing what's behind the mask.

That's what's scary.

Why is his mask in particular so iconic?

Expressionless, quiet.

You know, they -- they described him

as a great white shark, you know?

He seems like he needs that mask.

-Mm-hmm. -You know, he was killing

Laurie, and then he stops and --

"I have to put it right back on."

You know what I mean? Like "I need this."

Right. So it's kind of like "The Phantom of the Opera,"

too, almost like a reverse of that.

'Cause everyone gasps when he takes his mask off.

Yeah, I think that he was hoping

the audience would expect that sort of a reveal,

like we saw with Jason so many times,

-Yeah. Right. -this horrific face.

And it wasn't. It was just this plain guy.

I guess that almost seems more frightening,

-Yeah. -that it could be anybody.

Hello?

Let's talk about the origins

of the entire thing.

I guess it would start at Don Post Studios.

So this here, actually, is the William Shatner life mask

that Bill Malone used

to make the William Shatner/ Captain Kirk mask

for Don Post Studios.

You can actually already see that's creepy as it is.

It kind of looks like origins of drama,

the Greek chorus mask,

and it's so funny to see this kind of influence

an entire culture of horror films.

So, what they did is

Tommy Lee Wallace took this mask here.

He took the eyebrows off, he took the sideburns off,

he cut the eyes wider, and he spray-painted it white,

literally, with spray paint.

And then he took streaks and tips, brown, and --

and just ran it through the hair and darkened the hair.

And -- boom -- he had this.

And when he walked in the room wearing this,

when they did the screen tests,

I guess everybody just got chills.

And I can see why 'cause

it's fuckin' creepy as shit. Yeah.

-It's absolutely terrifying. -Mm-hmm.

So, there are technically, in the first one,

three Michael Myers actors?

Well, if you want to get technical,

seven people played Michael Myers in the first film.

Nick Castle did probably 95% of the work.

But Tommy Lee Wallace, who was the production designer,

pretty much anytime Michael Myers broke something,

he put on the costume 'cause,

being the art director, he knew how

to break things, you know? Right.

There was one scene with a dog trainer

that wore the costume when he kills the German shepherd.

Tony Moran played the unmasked.

He's in it for like eight seconds,

but he's the face of Michael.

Strangely enough, he was Erin Moran's brother,

who was Joanie on "Happy Days."

-Okay. -Yeah.

Jim Windburn was a stunt man

who took the fall.

He's literally in one scene

of his ass coming towards the camera.

Will Sandin played young Michael Myers.

And then Debra Hill did one scene.

She was the producer.

She was standing across the street

when Tommy Doyle looks out the window

and sees the silhouette in front of the house?

Yeah. And is it true that Debra Hill is also

the hand in that opening long take?

Exactly. She was the hands

of young Michael grabbing the knife

and stabbing Judith.

Ohhh! Aah!

Now, this is the "Part II" mask.

It's the same mask.

This one looks more weathered because,

since it was spray-paint and stuff,

I mean, stuff would stick to it, and --

and it would get dirty easily, and, um, it --

it just gave it a whole different look

by the time it got to "Part II."

And, actually, in my opinion, this version's creepier.

I do agree. I think the second movie

has a scarier- looking mask.

Yeah. He played it differently, too.

He had a real robot kind of vibe,

and I always found that creepy.

Well, the robot vibe actually kind of

leads us into "Part III."

If you want to talk about robots...

Both: Yes. This was actually screen-used.

The pumpkin ended up being the one that, uh,

little Buddy met his demise wearing.

Now, in "Part 4," they thought, "Well, let's get a guy

from Don Post Studios to convert a mask for us."

And he took what they say was an original Shatner

and did his conversion to it

and it ended up looking like this.

Now, this

didn't really go over well.

Not my favorite, not a fan favorite.

But then it gets really weird, Mm-hmm. Yeah.

-when we get to "Part 5." -How so?

This was the version they started with,

and the director didn't like the nose

and he wanted it a little bit bigger.

Now, this is the nose extension that they added to it.

You can see the seam lines. Yeah.

So it gave the mask a very different look here.

Uh, but there was a scene in the film

where he puts on someone else's mask.

And that's this one here, which is actually

kind of referred to fans as The Brute.

It's basically a German mask from some German company.

They literally bought it off a store shelf

and put it on the guy.

I just love barbaric men.

Now, they brought in effects artist John Carl Buechler

to do the mask for "Halloween 6."

It's got a cool, evil, rough look to it.

I thought they were starting to get it right

when they got to this mask, as far as I thought.

Then, when they went on to do "Halloween H20"...

...they decided to bring John Carl Buechler back

and have him make the mask for that film,

which, this is actually the screen-used version right here.

-Oh, wow. -So this was used

in the opening scene,

where he goes in the house and kills the nurse.

So, they'd shot that scene with this mask,

but Steve Miner, the director, when he saw the footage,

he didn't like the mask.

He wanted it changed and wanted it to be

completely plain and blank.

So they brought in this version.

So, they shot the entire movie with this.

Then, apparently, an executive at Dimension saw the footage

and stood up in the middle of the theater and said,

"That's not fucking Michael Myers.

What the fuck is that?" and like went off.

He went to Stan Winston Studios and said,

"Hey, we need a Michael Myers mask. We need it fast."

So he had one of his guys sculpt this mask.

And what they did is they went back

and reshot all the close-ups.

So, if you look closely in the film, you'll notice,

when Michael's coming, it's this mask.

But then, when he gets close,

it's this mask. It's -- Oh, my God.

And, once you notice that,

it really starts to get annoying.

So that's the movie that had the most masks in it.

Well, now let's get on to "Resurrection."

I think they got so tired

with these studios not being able to get it right

that they thought, "You know right?

Let's hire a mask company to make it."

So they got Cinema Secrets to make the mask.

They literally took this mask and tried to replicate it.

So if you look, the sculpture is very similar,

but the problem with Cinema Secrets was

it just looks like a store-bought mask.

It's just -- It's just overdone.

-Yeah, totally. -That's the problem.

It's too polished. It's too shiny.

-I mean, they -- -It's very clean-cut

-Yeah. -around the scalp, too.

I mean, he looks like he went to a salon.

I mean -- You know what I mean?

-Yeah. -So, we got to get into

the reboot now. Which,

I don't know about you. Big fan.

This one goes through several kind of changes.

This is the sort of rotted version that you --

he finds in the floorboards. Yeah.

I-I like the sculpture.

I think it's cool. It looks angry.

It's got a -- It's got a cool vibe to it.

So, this was the 2007 version.

And then, when he came out and did "Halloween II"...

...it was even more distressed and, you know, falling apart.

And -- And it goes through different stages

in "Halloween II," as well. Like this whole part

is cut away at one point.

But this is kind of stage 1 of "Halloween II."

As a "Halloween" franchise expert,

what do you hope for in the re-reboot,

as far as masks go, for Michael Myers?

Gotta go with the original Don Post Captain Kirk, you know?

-Yeah. -I mean, this --

this is the definitive look.

This is what the fans want.

Sir, thank you somuch for coming today.

This is every horror fan's dream.

I want to thank you again

for all that knowledge. Sean Clark.

I love the "Halloween" series.

I could easily watch all 10 movies in one night.

But what if you're thirsting for more?

10 movies down,

and I'm hungry for more this Halloween season.

Isn't that great?

Let's get into some real

All Hallow's heavy hitters.

Lay 'em on me. All right.

Up first, we got two Shudder exclusives:

"Spookers" and "Found Footage 3D."

"Spookers" is from New Zealand

and it's about the largest haunted attraction there.

Really gets into who owns it, who works there,

who attends, and why.

Aah!

-Aah! -If you love the season,

this movie loves you.

That's great. I love that.

"Found Footage 3D."

The first found-footage

horror movie

in 3D. Clever, meta.

It's a bit like "Scream,"

but for found-footage movies. Okay.

It's about a crew making a found-footage movie in 3D.

It all goes wrong because there's a demon about.

-Oh, shit. -Aaaaaaaaah!

It's superfunny; it's supercool.

It's a perfect, perfect, October movie.

And so can you watch it

fully in 3D on Shudder?

Yes. you. can.

-That's awesome. -"Ghostwatch."

This is like an essential, dude.

Have you ever heard of this? I've never heard

of "Ghostwatch." What big eyes you have.

This is a legend.

It aired on Halloween 1992,

on the BBC.

We hope to show you, for the first time,

irrefutable proof that ghosts really do exist.

-Never aired again. -Why?

They aired it as a real news broadcast,

as a live investigation of a haunted house.

It freaked the entire country out.

If you watch it today, it's a hell of a lot of fun,

it's a hell of a lot of creepy,

and you just gotta see it.

Sounds like they went Orson Welles,

"War of the Worlds"- type vibe there.

-100%. -The definition of

fake news, I guess.

Uh, what else do we got?

We got "Tales from the Darkside."

They put toilet paper in my trees.

That's because you didn't give 'em

any Halloween candy.

Oh, baby.

This is everyone's favorite '80s anthology series.

Created by, executive-produced by, George A. Romero.

You can watch every episode on Shudder, but,

two great Halloween ones, including "Halloween Candy"

and "Trick or Treat," written by Mr. Romero himself.

That sounds awesome.

Finally, "Murder Party."

Welcome to your murder.

Oh, shit. Jeremy Saulnier's

first movie. Exactly.

It's a mean little horror comedy

set on Halloween night

and, uh, perfect if you got a few hipsters in your life.

Ugh. Who doesn't?

Everybody dies.

Well, these are awesome. I can't wait to watch.

This is really gonna make my Halloween incredible.

Thank you so much and

Happy Halloween, bro. Happy Halloween.

Hey, check your apples.

Children: Trick or treat!

Well, that does it for this episode of "The Core."

I wanna thank Adam Green

and Danielle Harris again for...

Wait a second.

Fun size?

Fun size?!

Fucking fun size?!

Hold on a second.

I got some business to attend to.

Adam: Oh, hey, Mickey. Cool mask.

Hey, Green, you said full-size!

-Aah! -Don't try to run!

Aah! Aah!

Aah! Aah! Aah!

Aaah! Aaah!

Aah! Aah!

Person: He's trying to kill him!

Trying to kill him!

Aggh!

Aaaaah!
