5. We Watched Hocus Pocus and…

All scary movies/horror movies have certain clichés that everyone knows. Today, we’re sharing the most memorable ones for us. We also recently watched the original Halloween movie from 1978 (and the remakes), and we’re sharing what we think of it and why you should watch it on Halloween.

Oh! And we also talk about what we think of Disney’s cult classic, Hocus Pocus. Is it worth watching it? (Jake doesn’t think so!)

 

HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS WEEK’S SHOW:

  • Some common horror/slasher movie cliches:
    • Leaving a vehicle with a running engine to get away by foot
    • Why the antagonists are always picking the young, half-naked girls
    • After everybody is dead, the only person who lives in every slasher movie is the pure and innocent girl.
  • Texas Chainsaw Massacre as the first slasher movie
  • Where the mask from the Halloween movie came from
  • Haven’t watched Hocus Pocus yet? Watch Halloweentown instead.
  • Other Halloween movies you should watch and those you probably shouldn’t
