Louis:Oh, star, it was the same music. They just took the words out and left the music.
Keny:That's what they had to sing. I didn't even know that. That's crazy.

Louis:TV, the heads would get all yeah.
Keny:Watch that today.
Tom:I remember that movie it was not called Halloween people, it was just called season of the witch. It would have been a better film, but people it, you know, and the thing is too, is the whole idea between Halloween, the Halloween movies, is John Carpenter was supposed to make it. He wanted to make an anthology series where, like, it would cover a different story each movie, but his mistake was having Halloween 2. If he didn't have Halloween 2 and then the next move was season of which he would Be able to do that. That's why the movies called Halloween, because it was always gonna be another story that took place in Halloween.
Tom:So, but it didn't take off that way season and I was talking about this with Eric. You know, eric, that was our show. Yeah, the the, the music for is so creepy, they use synth wave. Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, it's so creepy and and it was on.
Keny:They had it on the Think couple of days before Halloween and I was like, ah, this was the worst Halloween one to me ever. But again, I mean, I don't know, I I wasn't crazy, yeah, I wasn't like, and not because it was called Halloween, though Not because it was called Halloween.
Louis:I. The movie was weird.
Tom:One of the movies they were so good idea though. Yeah, yeah, they never kill kids in movies. Yeah, they were like fuck that we're killing. Yeah, this is a little more fucking right here yeah they did.
