The importance of the party being specifically for Halloween is crucial to the story, as a lot would change otherwise. The Halloween party in Antlers is a little different to our own ideas and ideals for the festivities.…

    John Carpenter’s original Halloween (1978) premiered at a time when the horror film genre was undergoing distinct changes. As Ernest Mathijs notes in a Flow forum post on the ritual of Halloween horror viewing, monster films and other classic horror were being replaced at the end of the 1970s with “stories about the ‘horror within’, the evil amidst the community.” Some predecessors of Halloween, such as Brian De Palma’s Carrie (1976) and Charles B.

Carpenter’s Halloween,…
