First time you saw the movie?

Plot:

The film opens to an old school film highlighting some of the rules of Halloween. Cut to a kid pulling a wagon in front of a car that almost hits them. A couple is walking home and obviously did not have a good time at halloween. The woman blows out the candle as the husband warns her about not doing it too early or she might make someone mad. We watch this from a different point of view, presumably the "bad gay". Husband wants to have sex, but she wants to take the decorations down... She relents and tells him to "put on the tape" as she starts taking the decorations down. As she removes them, she gets freaked out by a guy in a mask watching her, but he is a kid waiting for a ride. She is then attacked by a sheet, and has her throat cut by a pumpkin lolly pop inside the sheet, as her husband sleeps with a porn on. He comes out searching for her, and finds her dismembered body under a sheet, with the lollypop grotesquely shoved in her mouth. (SOUND 1) and cut to intro credits... Which gives some history of what we're about to see, 4 tales, Sam, some character names, Warren Valley, Ohio setting, halloween night, always check your candy, along with some foreshadowing images, Laurie, Mr. Kreeg. It opens back up to a closeup of a bag being drug down the street, occasionally panning up to see, what we find out later, are other characters in the movie. Scene change and a box that tells us "Earlier". There's a halloween party downtown. News caster tells how Warren Valley takes halloween very seriously. IN a costume store, some girls are changing talking about picking up dudes, and theres a kid peeping on them. The girls come out, in sexy princess costumes,while Laurie is dressed as little red riding hood, and one of them hits on the cashier. Next, the kid from Bad Santa is walking down the street, smashing pumpkins. He comes to a house that has a sign saying only take one candy, so he starts taking handfuls. But he is caught. The girls are walking down the street, with Laurie getting advice about being a virgin at 22, like Tucker. They pass the couple from the opening sequence. Maria and Janet show her how to hit on guys.

S:

-Regarding the woman who wants to take down halloween decorations ON halloween... Who does that?

-Again, who has a huge party like that ON halloween...and the girls in the costume store, who doesn't buy their costume until Halloween night at 8pm

-The asshole kids walking and smashing pumpkins, how did no adult say anything to him

-This one, like hubie halloween, how does it seem like everytown is so small no one drives, they all just walk all over town?

-What town throws a halloween party like that?

The man and the candy stealer are talking, he pulls a knife, and he carves a pumpkin. He talks about how his dad taught him the traditions of halloween, and that they were started to protect us, but now, no one cares. The boy starts coughing and gurggling. The man tells of another tradition, to always check your candy, as the boy starts violently vomiting. He collapses in the mans lap. He struggles to bring the boy inside, getting bloody vomit on him. Trick or treaters come and we find out this is Principal Wilkins. After they all get some candy and take off, we see Sam, the little boy with the sack on his head also Trick or Treating. The girls get into a van with guys, leaving Laurie. Inside Wilkins house, we see how he laced his candy. He drags the body out back, and we see there are other bodies in the already dug hole when his son starts screaming at him from the window (SOUND 2). Next a dog starts barking at them, so Wilkins throws him a finger. The neighbor comes out, looking for his dog, he hops in the hole and seems one of the bodies isn't actually dead. They have a heated exchange. Billy comes back and yells again, and Wilkins smashes whoever grabbed him with the shovel. Wilkins is then watering a tree in the filled in hole, complaining about his kid bothering him. As he walks inside, the neighbor gets his attention, which he ignores and we see the neighbor being tackled inside his home. He comes inside and is scared by Billy, and they go down stairs to carve the pumpkin. We're definitely led to think Wilkins is about to kill his son. He approaches, and places his hand on his head, (SOUND 3) ...and we see the candy thieves head on a lazy susan and they smile.

S:

-Wilkins leaving his laced candy out. Seems dangerous.

-As willy nilly about killing as he is, and with the bodies in the back yard, I'm surprised Wilkins hasn't been caught. Are we sure this doesn't take place in Opelika and Tucker is the detective?

-Never mind how long it would take to dig the hole, i still think it would take a few hours to fill it back in.

The trick or treaters from Wilkins house go to a house with an obviously drunk Mrs. Henderson, and a crazy party happening in the back ground. They're collecting pumpkins for something. They approach a house with a TON of carved pumpkins, and a girl in a which costume comes out, who they say is an idiot savant. We meet Schrader and Rhonda. At the halloween party downtown, people are making out and we find a couple in an alley enjoying themselves. When the woman realzies she has blood all over her, and freaks out. She runs screaming for help, and we see the couple from the beginning again, saying she's just drunk. She turns and the man is behind her, a scream and cut to black. She is shown sitting down, and the masked man closes her eyes, and walks off into the crowd. The kids are walking through the woods, and Rhonda gives a very detailed history of Halloween. They arrive at the rock quarry and we learn about the halloween school bus massacre (SOUND 4). A flashback about a school bus with different/troubled/disturbed kids, 8 of them. That day the driver takes a different route, and they pass Sam. He drives the bus to a quarry, it's told the parents of the kids approached the driver and made and offer for him to do the unthinkable. The driver then checks each kid, and they're all chained in the bus. One kids escapes, but doesn't know how to drive the bus, as the driver tries to get to the front, he's tripped and the bus goes over the edge. We see it slowly sinking under the water. The girl tells that the bus was so deep, it couldn't be found or the town didn't want to find it, and that it's still there with the kids. She tells that the collected pumpkins are to be left by the side of the lake as an offering to those who died. Three of the kids descend as Rhonda and the boy are left. Laurie walks seeing all the couples. When her sister calls, she sees the masked man, and she tells her she has a guy for her, we see a dude in a diaper. There is a howl, and it cuts back to the quarry, and Rhonda says "werewolves." As they ride the elevator down, they hear the other kids supposedly get attacked, and their pumpkins get extinguished. Rhonda goes to investigate.

S:

-The adult party... Who parties like that on halloween?

-Even on halloween, if a woman comes screaming for help, people would help. And why didn't she keep running? Why just stop?

-Where there any hometown myths/legends like the school bus massacre where you're from? Dead mans hill in Vestavia.

-If I were those kids, i would've never gotten out of the elevator. Nope.

Rhonda finds the crashed school bus, half out of the water, with the others masks floating in the water. She reaches for a mask and is grabbed. what look to be ghouls start to chase her. She finds the boy she left, having his intestines eaten. As they close in, she slips and falls backwards, passing out. One of the ghouls says "oh shit" she comes too, screams, and hits one of them. They take their masks off, and show it was a prank. Rhonda is crying and freaking out. They go back to the bus to pack everything up, as Macy kicks a pumpkin into the lake. They start to hear childlike giggles and whispers. Back with Rhonda, they hear screaming and Schrader goes to check. He finds a freaked out Macy and hears voices too, and they see the kids rambling towards them. One girl falls and is pulled back. Rhonda is sitting in the elevator with the gate locked. (SOUND 5) The kids close in and the elevator reaches the top, We hear sounds of splatters, and gushes, kids screaming, then nothing. Rhonda and Sam see each other, and continue. Laurie is walking through the woods and is confronted by the masked man. Lauries sister is worried about her, saying she was always the runt of the litter, the masked man attacks, saying, "My my, what big eyes you have", we hear a scream and Lauries cloak comes flying in the party. They run to check on her, but inside the cloak, it's the masked man asking for help. Laurie comes walking out of the woods, saying the man bit her. They seem oddly passive about it, as the man asks for help. They take out his fangs, and take off the mask, and see that it's Mr. Wilkins. He then sees all the other party goes are dead, with their throats ripped out. Lauries sister tells her to be herself, She sits on Wilkins, saying its her first time to bear with her. They all start dancing and undressing, and transforming. With fangs and eyes. They start shedding their skin, reveling harry werewolves underneath. Lauries tells Wilkins, "my my, what big eyes you have" and attacks. As they eat, Sam sits by and watches.

S:

-I love this sequence. and the acknowledgment of Rhonda and Sam, that she hasn't broken any halloween rules.

-I don't wanna die by a werewolf, BUT if I were going to, I'd like it to be by Anna Paquin. It's also funny that when this came out, Anna was playing a vampire on True Blood. Generally vampires and werewolves are enemies.

-Also, depending on which werewolf lore you subscribe to, shouldn't the people attacked by them turn into werewolves?

We see and exterior of a house, and "earlier". Three trick or treaters cautiously approach and knock. The door slowly unlocks and opens. They hear heavy breathing, and they see glowing eyes and some sort of beast comes after them. We see it was just the little dog with a mask on. Kreeg burns some photos and watches an infomercial. He takes a bite of a candy bar, but spits it out. We see the news cas from earlier, The dog barks, and Kreeg sees his gate has been opened, and someone eggs the window. He grabs a bat, and starts looking for Spike the dog. Outside, he finds Spike eating the finger Wilkins threw him. We see the interaction from earlier in the movie, from Kreegs side. Spike barks at the front door as he emerges telling whoever to get off his property, he sees his whole yard is filled with jack o'lanterns. Spike then barks at and goes up the stairs, Kreeg hears someone running around. He grabs the shotgun over the fireplace he mentioned earlier. As he climbs the stairs, we see Sam run and we hear the dog yelp. He goes down the hallway, and into his room, seeing movement on his bed, and finds a mechanical hand. Just then, a pumpkin catches on fire, and he sees halloween sayings written in blood all over the room. As hes watching, a little hand reaches our and cuts the back of his leg with a candy bar, that has a razor blade in it. Kreeg grabs his gun and shoots, but Sam has disappeared. He falls down the stairs, as it has candy and razor blades on it. As he tries to unlock the door, Sam crawls on the ceiling above him, drops on him and attacks. He crawls to the window and we see him getting Wilkins attention, and Sam attacks again. He rips off the mask and we see Sam has a huge pumpkin for a head, with a skeletal face. He bites Kreegs leg, and Kreeg gets his gun, shooting Sam in the face, sending him flying. Kreeg reloads and shoots Sam two more times before calling the police, who put him on hold, but before he can report it, the line is pulled from the wall. The disembodied hand then stabs Kreeg in the foot, to his bewilderment (SOUND 6) The hand gets the mask and Sam wakes up. His hand reattaches itself and he puts his mask on. Walking towards Kreeg, he takes a bite of a lollypop, and we see the lollypop from the beginning. He stalks towards Kreeg, he reaches for and breaks a glass bottle to keep fighting, but Sam disarms him. As Sam stabs him, he hits a piece of candy on Kreegs chest, the then stops. Takes the candy, turns and leaves, giving one last look. Kreeg realizes what he has to do. In the fire, we see a picture of the school children, and that Kreeg was the bus driver. Fade to black, and "later"... Trick or treaters come to Kreegs door, and he gives them candy. Next door Wilkins kid is handing out candy, wearing his dads bloody shirt. Rhonda is shown to be the person pulling the wagon from the beginning, and the car that almost hits her is Laurie, her sister, and her friends, we see Sam watching Kreeg, and he turns when the woman from the first sequence blows out the pumpkin, breaking the rule. Sam looks at the lollypop and takes off towards her. Kreeg closes the door, but theres another knock at the door (SOUND 7). Roll credits.

S:


-Kreeg cocks the shot gun like its pump action

-Pretty decent fight scene with Kreeg and Sam

-So Kreeg comes down the stairs and hurts his hands getting up, and can't open the front door, but then he can grab the shot gun, shoot it, reload it, shoot it again, AND call the police.

-I like all the other subtle references to the other characters in the film. At the very beginning, when the woman is watching the guy with the white mask, you can see the bus children walk past. Also, how at the end they tie them all together with Rhonda, the Laurie, and even better that Kreeg doesn't tell the woman about Sam.

It is Shocktober! The ghouls and goblins are about, ghosts are washing their sheets and Draculas are enjoying fine wine. Of course with the oncoming spooky season comes the spookiest day of all, Halloween!

What better way is there tokick things off than with a horror anthology film? Alex made Andy watch 2007's 'Trick 'r Treat' and here we are breaking it down section by section in a number of key categories. We tackle all the things you want from Halloween, spooks, scares, laughs & horniness! 

As we've come to the end of our First Season of The Curators of Horror, we thought we'd take the time to welcome some new listeners, reintroduce ourselves as your hosts, share a little more about our relationships with Horror, explain why we started the podcast and a little about what you can expect from season 2.

Enjoy this first of two Meet The Curator bonus episodes. In this episode Emrys shares three films with you to express his relationship with Horror. Franchises, Anthologies and Morality tales, oh my!

2020 has been a JOURNEY - and for us, so was Trick ‘r Treat (2007). Words cannot express the roller coaster that we, perhaps unnecessarily, went on with this cult classic!! But then again, maybe that’s all part of the spooky-scary adventure. We’ve got werewolves, zombies, & a perfectly round-headed pumpkin kid to discuss - so join us under the bed and listen to us come to truly appreciate this film in ~real time~! Be sure to follow all the rules, Dust Bunnies, & HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

It's our first Halloween Special here in the Void! And much like the sugary confections one fills a cotton-blended pillow case with, tonight's episode is a proverbial grab bag of haunted delights. We've got five brand new frequencies to score your Halloween weekend with. Some new faces, returning favorites and, as always, the looming foreboding dread of our haunted pasts and unknowable futures. Fun! Tonight we present you: a trio of trick or treaters who find themselves the victims of local lore ('Apples', written by Andrew Shanks); a gonzo-fueled night of cannibalistic desires ('The Locus of Locusts No More', written by Barracuda Guarisco); a mourning couple and some vengeful house decor ('Smother', written by Maggie Lee); A kafkaesque apartment story ('The Duvet Will Never Be Clean', written by Bret Fetzer) and some thirsty gothic whimsy to close us out ('The Curse of Wolf Hollow', written by Kelleen Conway Blanchard).

Our voice ensemble this episode is Paris Arrowsmith, Laura Lee Caudill, Monica Domena, Skyler Gahley, Mandy Rose Nichols, Sarah Rose Nottingham, Shane Regan, Chad Sommerville, Alexandria Stevens and Lyam White.

Tonight’s music performance provided by kohm! Their album, Moss Covered Soul is available now on Spotify and Apple Music.   

Stay safe this Halloween, and we'll see you in the void.

Halloween is upon us, and Nate and Mitch are feeling spooky!

The boys start things off by discuss wrestling by tying it in to their last weeks discussion. We're tanning specific parts of the body while sounding like Obama. After a few opening bits of banter, we get into the topic at hand: Halloween. Candy, dressing up, trick 'r treating, etc. We cover it all and having the fillings to show for it! Tight five returns with maybe a tweet edition? You be the judge. It also gets completely derailed by a joke not exactly being worded correct. The Goon Tribe t-shirt idea? We got those. After a classic Mitch pee break, we get into talking about a particular librarian we both had. We also talk about a different name for balls by a recalled childhood story from Mitch. The legend of the robot voice comes out to play and finish the episode out.  

At the end of the day, it's all love. Enjoy dressing up, have a piece of candy, throw on a horror movie of your choice and enjoy this year's Halloween festivities (socially distanced of course)

Nate and Mitch are Feeling Spooky, and we hope you are, too.

In the most Halloweeny episode of the year, computer problems abound. Blake and Nathaniel are joined by AIPT Science Editor Russ Dobbler and MonsterTalk host Blake Smith to talk about their favorite Halloween monsters.

The show starts with a talk about Jared Leto's return as Joker. The four discuss if this is enough to get them to watch the Snyder Cut of Justice League. They also talk about even more delays and the impending end of the Fast & Furious franchise.

On this week's What You Need to Know, the guys talk about horror tropes. Are audiences more forgiving of them or are they just the most known? 

This week's main segment is about Halloween monsters. Talks of Dogmen, Mothman, and batsquatch are all thrown about. But how does a woodpecker fit into it all?
