Today’s show is all about the John Carpenter classic, “Halloween”. We talk about the conception, creation and reception of this horror classic. We discuss the actors involved, its abbreviated shooting schedule, the great music it has and of course its legacy of sequels and remakes. Jonathan is back again with a great Halloween tinged Retro Rewind that you are going to enjoy. Just a reminder to drop by our official forums to discuss Carpenter’s “Halloween” and the Halloween Podcast. You can find the forums at http://www.retroist.com/forum/.
The above art was again provided by Artist/Illustrator Christopher Tupa. To see more of Christopher’s work, drop by his website at http://www.ctupa.com. You can see all this work for the Retroist Podcast at The Art of the Retroist Podcast.
