Published

on

Join Kim & Jon on this week’s Nightmare Alley episode as they sit down with Freaky director and co-writer Christopher Landon to discuss the body-swapping horror-comedy that features Vince Vaughn as a merciless killer AND a sixteen-year-old girl! Somewhere in there they also manage to talk about Halloween decorations, getting revenge on bullies, and how writing horror movies usually means daydreaming about inventive ways to kill people.

John Carpenter’s ‘Prince of Darkness’ Is Flawed But Undeniably Original [Halloweenies Podcast]

Published

on

John Carpenter is back with a new album next week: Lost Themes IV: Noir.

To celebrate, the Halloweenies are unlocking their past episode from January 2022 on the maestro’s 1987 relic, Prince of Darkness. Join Michael Roffman, Dan Caffrey, McKenzie Gerber, and Rachel Reeves in the basement of a Los Angeles monastery as they decipher their feelings on the curious case study of the crossroads between science and faith.

Together, they debate whether or not this intriguing intersection overpowers the narrative and characters, chart where this fits in Carpenter’s overall oeuvre, and meditate on a few what-ifs in the casting department. They also marvel at the pulsing score, discuss its parallels to Inferno, and try to make sense of the mythos at the center.

So, go to the mirror and listen below. Subscribe via Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, RadioPublic, Acast, Google Podcasts, and RSS. New to the Halloweenies? Catch up with the gang by revisiting their essential episodes on past franchises such as Halloween, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Scream, The Evil Dead, and Chucky. This year? Alien.

You can also become a member of their Patreon, The Rewind, for hilariously irreverent commentaries (e.g. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Gremlins), one-off deep dives on your favorite rentals (e.g. Saw, The Changeling), and even topical spinoffs like this past summer’s greatest adventure Fortune & Glory: An Indiana Jones Podcast.
