24: The Watcher in the Woods w/guest Teri Gamble (Bonus)

Bryan and Dave are joined by Teri Gamble of the Horror Movie Survival Guide podcast to talk about Disney's bizarro 80's period where they experimented with more mature films resulting in one of their most easily-forgotten titles, The Watcher in the Woods. At one time, Disney producers and executives were convinced that this was going to be their finest hour, a horror movie to rival The Exorcist. Nowadays, if it's remembered at all, it's remembered for not making a whole lot of sense and having been pulled from theaters for extensive reshoots and two endings that had to be thrown out.

23: Halloween (1978)

Bring Me The Axe! concludes its exploration of the Halloween legacy just in time for Halloween with an epic-length love letter to John Carpenter, Debra Hill, and their landmark creation. Halloween represents a major paradigm shift in horror movie and sets the pace for every horror movie that came in its wake. It's elegant. Every piece of the production is working in perfect harmony with the other pieces. The end-product is greater than the sum of its parts. It is a perfect horror movie and it's not surprising in the least that everyone is still obsessed with it.

22: Halloween (2007) w/guest Heather Wixson

This week, Bryan and Dave are joined by The Horror Chick, Heather Wixson to get grimy and talk about Rob Zombie's arch-2000's horror movie remake, Halloween. It reimagines Michael Myers, the silent destroyer, once a little boy with a family of mean dirtbag shitheads and a loving, overprotective mother and Sam Loomis as a selfish, fame-chasing jerk.

21: Friday the 13th (Bonus)

Bryan and Dave square off against one of the all-time horror movie greats on the most appropriate calendar date of the year. It's 1980's Friday the 13th, a movie made by pornography producers looking to take away a little of that sweet Halloween money for themselves and accidentally set the pace for slasher movies in the 80's. If you had a little cash on-hand with which to make a movie, you set it at a summer camp and killed off a bunch of teenagers for maximum return based on the least possible effort.

20: Halloween (2018)

This week, Bring Me The Axe! kicks off their month-long examination of the Halloween legacy as Bryan drags Dave kicking and screaming through David Gordon Green's 2018 series revision. It's a deeply flawed movie that's way better than you expect a Halloween sequel or remake to be and it reduces the series to its roots while whiffing on move than a few points.
