Plot Summary: Four interwoven stories that occur on Halloween, including a high school principal with a gruesome double life, a college virgin and her “initiation” into a group of her peers, a holiday prank that turns deadly and an old man with a particularly mischievous trick-or-treater.

Note: Recorded in sections, with an alternating group of guest co-hosts. Please join Will, Scott, William, Tysto and myself as we talk about Horror films, writer-director Michael Dougherty, the traditions of the October holiday and what Halloween means to us. We hope you’ve enjoyed this month-long tribute to the genre. Remember to listen for the preemptive countdown before starting the movie on your DVD. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

I loved that shot earlier where they’re walking by the pumpkin patch. It reminds me of Charlie Brown. [laughter] The Great Pumpkin? Yeah. — Sofa Dogs,

This convention of Little Red Riding Hood actually killing the wolf is at least as old as 1931 with James Thurber and his book The Thurber Carnival. — Sofa Dogs,

I leave my Halloween decorations up ’til Christmas. [laughter] And I leave my Christmas decorations up ’til Easter. And I leave my Easter decorations up until Independence Day…. — Sofa Dogs,

It’s really well done. And my guess is: [Dougherty] can’t do it again. I dare him to make another one of those movies that’s that good. I also dare him! — Sofa Dogs,
