The Last Theater

The Shape is still on the loose, so chris and Joey have returned to Haddonfield on Halloween night to discuss the second film in the franchise, Halloween II from 1981.

Show Notes

For viewers, three years had passed since Michael Myers returned home, but for Laurie Strode and Dr. Loomis, their night of terror would continue. In a lot of ways, Halloween II from 1981 is a very different film from John Carpenter's original masterpiece, but do the increases in blood and bodies help or hurt the sequel? This is one of the many questions chris and Joey discuss as they look back at two versions of Halloween II (theatrical and TV) in the latest episode of The Last Theater.

What is The Last Theater?

Join chris and Joey as they explore the dark, forgotten side of film. From horror and exploitation, to b-movies, cult, trash cinema, and everything in-between, The Last Theater shows how even the movies mainstream audiences might find worthless have value. With reviews and discussions covering films and topics within the realm of the more extreme and often dismissed side of cinema, chris and Joey illuminate the vital role these types of films play in the larger pantheon of movie history.

Every movie has its audience, and every movie has value. One person's trash cinema is another person's treasure.
