You can’t review scary movies without reviewing the movie that started the slasher genre! It’s the original Halloween (1978), baby! First of all, we love how John Carpenter just plugs his own movie in this film. Hustler. Also, his thriftiness and frugalness is something that we, as university students, can very much appreciate. We love this film and above all, we love the scream queen herself, Jamie-Lee Curtis. 
Talking points: Gilmore Girls, podcast voices, last names, Halloween (1978) facts, most popular baby names in 1978, Letterboxd Corner, Olivia’s original film Zombie Horse, how scary young men and 16 year olds can be, how scary and silly Micheal Myers is, how stupid the local cop is, and the speed at which slasher villains recover.
