We've made it to another Halloween! As has been the tradition here the past few years, we end our annual 13 Days of Halloween series with a film from the Halloween franchise. This year, Grant joins us to discuss the truly bizarre 1995 entry - Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers . Definitely not a good movie, but it gave us a lot to talk about. Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to listen to one or all of our 13 Days of Halloween episodes. Happy haunting!

13 Days of Halloween: The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue

The dead are stalking the countryside around Southgate Manchester, and only a couple of young hippies seem to be aware of what's going on. Sean is back with us to discuss the 1974 zombie movie, The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue (aka Let Sleeping Corpses Lie ). It's set in England, filmed in England and Italy, with Manchester in the title, but mostly set in a rural place called Southgate, and featuring an American actor as a British detective (who doesn't really bother to do a British accent). It makes for interesting viewing.
