About this listen

Slip back into Haddonfield, where the streets are quiet… except for the shape lurking in the shadows. In this deep-cut episode, we carve open the original Halloween (1978) and the sprawling, tangled timelines that followed. From the “Laurie Strode Trilogy” path to the Thorn Curse detour to the standalone reboots, we explore how Michael Myers became both immortal slasher and shifting myth.

We’ll also drop a hot take on Dr. Loomis — the man who tried to warn Haddonfield and may have fueled the legend he feared most. Was he a heroic guardian… or the very megaphone that gave the Boogeyman his power?

And of course, no Halloween breakdown is complete without examining the core question: What makes Michael the Boogeyman? We dig into the psychology, folklore, and cinematic choices that turned a silent man in a pale mask into horror’s purest embodiment of dread.

Finally, in our Spirits of the Night segment, we mix up a chilling new cocktail: Myers Milk — cold, smooth, deceptively simple, and white as his mask. Sip carefully… he’s always watching.
