MARCH MADNESS 2022 - DAY 10

Added 2022-03-10 17:00:08 +0000 UTC

Ennio Morricone's "The Ecstasy of Gold" plays in the background as THE DOLLARS TRILOGY moves on to the next round!

Up today - two *massively* important and influential slasher films and their resulting franchises...

A killer who dresses up as William Shatner vs a killer who dresses up as his own mother...

It's HALLOWEEN vs PSYCHO:

We've already covered John Carpenter's HALLOWEEN on the main feed, but a Halloween series would allow us to delve deeper into the lore of Michael Myers.

A HALLOWEEN series would include:

HALLOWEEN (1978)

HALLOWEEN II (1981)

HALLOWEEN III: SEASON OF THE WITCH (1982)

HALLOWEEN 4: THE RETURN OF MICHAEL MYERS (1988)

HALLOWEEN 5: THE REVENGE OF MICHAEL MYERS (1989)

HALLOWEEN: THE CURSE OF MICHAEL MYERS (1995)

HALLOWEEN H20 (1998)

HALLOWEEN: RESURRECTION (2002)

The Psycho Franchise is a franchise that shouldn't exist...but we're glad it does because these movies are WEIRD. PSYCHO II comes out twenty-two years (!!) after the Hitchcock original with Anthony Perkins returning! Later, Gus Van Sant cashed his post-GOOD WILL HUNTING Blank Check to make a shot-for-shot remake of the original, one of the true oddities of recent movie history.

A PSYCHO series would include:

PSYCHO (1960)

PSYCHO II (1983)

PSYCHO III (1986)

PSYCHO (1998)

So, which psychopath would you rather hear us cover - Michael Myers or Norman Bates?
