It's got Tom Atkins (whose character only gets involved because he wouldn't mind maybe banging the grieving daughter of a murder victim who he didn't even know). It's goddamned bonkers, bizarre, violent. It's got a real seasonal/halloween sort of vibe, which is part of why it's an annual rewatch for me. Sure, the plot is fucking crazy and dumb, but we're talking about 80s horror, are we not?Īnd it's good! It's better than, I'd say, most of what you'd find from the time. I suppose it was outright dismissed back in the day for not featuring Michael Myers at all, but nowadays people give it a try and find it's actually a pretty sweet little horror flick. This one gets a bad rap, but has also developed into something of a cult hit. I'm going to keep at it past 31, but I wanted the big #31 to be one of my annual traditional rewatches (that is, a selection of movies that are called Halloween), so I went with this and the original will be for actual Halloween night.
