Air Date: 2022-10-07

Every October, it's a tradition to watch the original John Carpenter's Halloween, but what about the horror movies the characters are watching in Halloween? It's a familiar trope, the movie within the movie, something to compliment what's actually happening in the film. It could be a tribute to the movies the director grew up, but could there be more of a reason why these movies are on the TV? Is there a reason why Carpenter chose The Thing (1951), Forbidden Planet, and Night of the Living Dead specifically, or, was it all at random? That's what I'm investigating today!

Happy Halloween! This month we’ve been paying tribute to Roger Corman and remembering all the great films and inspiration he’s given us. Today, I chose something that might seem off the beaten path, but is actually special in many ways. It’s the perfect choice to bring Halloween, horror-marathons and Roger Corman all together, and it’s also celebrating an anniversary. 25 years ago, on Halloween weekend, Roger Corman hosted AMC’s MonsterFest and premiered an exclusive made-for-TV film The Phantom Eye.
