Happy Halloween, ya turkeys! Halloween (1978): The Plot: Fifteen years after killing his teenage, not-a-virgin sister when he was six, Michael Myers (Austin Powers, The Love Guru) escapes from a mental institution and returns to his hometown so he can hunt down some baby sitters, because, uh…well, one girl totally keeps having sex with her…
Hey, so I hope y’all had a good Halloweekend. Once again acknowledging what time of year it is, I’m going to go ahead and get into the spirit of things. This week, in the spirit of horror, I will put aside references to Predator 2 and talk about movies that scared the ever-loving bejeepers out…
