FlixChatter Review: HALLOWEEN ENDS (2022)

Directed by David Gordon Green Starring: Jamie Lee Curtis, Andi Matichak, James Jude Courtney, Will Patton, Rohan Campbell I have a theory that Michael Myers is actually a Cyberdyne Systems T101 Terminator or the indestructible John Kirby in the Chuck Norris cult sci-fi/slasher Silent Rage (1982).

FlixChatter Guest Review: BARBARIAN (2022)

FlixChatter Review: Netflix’s The Haunting of Bly Manor (2020)
