The Halloween Franchise

“The Halloween Franchise” is the twenty-fifth episode of the fourth season of We'll See You In Hell.

Episode Description
With the magic of Halloween still lingering in the air, a particularly defeated Pat and Joe discuss the entire “Halloween” franchise, from the classic John Carpenter original through the upcoming Danny McBride remake.

Before The Film

 * Second take of this podcast, the sound on the original was hopelessly garbled. They've already eaten a meal with Hollywood's David Krumholtz and had some strong drinks.
 * Pat was mauled by a dog outside Joe's apartment.
 * On With The Joe!: W-i-t-h t-h-e- Jooooe!, old timey radio feel.
 * Pat played the John Ritter role in Noises Off! onstage and John Candy in Delirious discussion.
 * Favorite movie gags:
 * "Schmuck" - Jerry Orbach
 * Guy knocks service person out and next scene is wearing their clothes.

Pat's Movie Corner

 * Pat still watching the new season of Curb Your Enthusiasm
 * He's also watched up to episode 6 of Stranger Things. Joe's finished it and cried.
 * A segue into their dinner at Damon's Steak House with David Krumholtz
 * Krumholtz orders the steak medium rare. Joe orders the pork chop "NOT medium rare". A huge swing and a huge miss.
 * Joe starts the meal with a slice of blueberry cheesecake.
 * The gator bites.
 * Joe was pressured into smoking weed before the meal.
 * Andy Dick, bad man, hit on a writer on Pat's show a few years back.
 * The origins of the Sam Elliot imitation ("Do you want some corn?" in the movie Grandma).


 * Joe recommends the season 5 or 6 premiere episode of Perfect Strangers where Larry lies about skating.

Joe's Scary Stuff

 * Pat recommends John Carpenter's Anthology on vinyl.
 * The Order: 1866 on PS4.

The Film

 * Pat thinks there's one classic movie in the entire franchise (Halloween 1) and one above average movie in the entire franchise (also Halloween 1). It's not a great franchise.
 * Joe says he's being harsh and that Halloween 1 is a good movie, but has a lot of flaws. He prefers 2.
 * Ken Hanley thinks 3 is the best one.
 * It's never been a good idea to say something is caused by an ancient curse, it's a very Stephen King thing to do.
 * Pat goes over his appearance in the TV show Roadies.
 * Joe's horror character ranking: Freddy Krueger first, Pinhead second.
 * Joe, why did you tell Jeremy Piven to do what he did?
 * Christopher Lloyd as Han Solo.
 * The worst movie is Halloween: Resurrection.
