Mind Over Splatter
Dylan Ferguson, Sheldon Kilcullen, William O'Donnell and guests discuss, dissect, and debate horror movies. Each episode digs into a different subgenre, series, or style of flicks. We reappraise underseen or underrated gems, and (over-)analyze films from unusual angles. Sometimes we get into fights. Various expert guests will appear to provide context and vaunt their particular obsessions.

Episode 6
Dylan, Sheldon, and William discuss the entire Halloween franchise chronologically, from start to finish, ranking the films separately as they go. We weigh the various filmmakers' approaches, break down the meanings and the cultural contexts behind different turns the movies took, and get into heated, half-drunken arguments over the merits of oddities like Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers, and Halloween: Resurrection. At the end of the contentious, beer-fueled marathon session, we've come up with ranked lists that reflect different perspectives for appraising slasher flicks.
