For the Love of the Boogeyman: 40 Years of Halloween (2018)

This documentary is by fans and for the fans, chronicling why John Carpenter's classic has stood the test of time. Bringing together some of the brightest voices from independent horror we will explore what makes the film so special. From the music, the mask to Michael Myers, everyone has their own take on Halloween, and why it is the blueprint for slasher horror and in our humble opinion, has never been bettered.
