As is often the case with horror movies, there are sequential movies that are all related to one another and we think it’s best to keep them together.  In the case of Halloween, the sequel is so connected that it literally begins where the first movie ends.  Jam and Fred discuss the sordid tale of why this film does not quite live up to the original, but why it is worthwhile nonetheless.  Queue up your copy and join us for our running commentary of Halloween II.

For this very special day Jam and Fred have a very special episode of Horror 101 featuring the original Halloween from 1978 and directed by John Carpenter.  Our final format has been decided as a commentary to the movie itself, though you definitely don’t have to be watching it to enjoy this episode.  If you do wish to watch as a running commentary, queue up your version to the very beginning and put it on pause, we’ll tell you when to start.
