Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers - The Jamie Lloyd Trilogy Part Two

We continue our look at Halloween franchise's Jamie Lloyd Trilogy, where a bunch of filmmakers panicked and accidentally made three horror movies. In Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers, we toss away all the good ideas the last film had and introduce the supernatural, which kind of defeats the whole purpose of Halloween 4.

Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers - The Jamie Lloyd Trilogy Part One

The original Halloween from 1978 was a great film, but studios have really struggled to make it work as a franchise. This October, we're going to look at a trilogy of films and how it tries to make Michael Myers work. First up, Halloween 4, a back-to-basics film that teases something darker.

State of the Channel (September/October)

Hello wonderful patrons!

Wanted to give you a heads up on whats been happening this month and what should be happening next month. First off, September kind of turned into a wash. Got the Tomorrow People episode of Nick Knacks out, which I'm proud of, and there's a Reboot video I got out quickly just for the sake of having content, but a lot of things I wanted to do this month didn't get done, especially the You Can't Do That On Television video and Goosebumps Monthly.
