Closing Halloween

 I just watched the opening of Halloween (1978) on Shudder and have the ending on AMC in the background. I wrapped up my reviews for the day, and as October 31st draws to a close, I say adios to what was a really great month that was much needed considering how terrible 2020 has been. As the country is divided, candidates so embarrassing the election is dreaded because they are the best I guess we could come up with (that in and of itself is tragic), and Covid just continues on without an end in sight, I just needed October to help with my own sanity. Michael Myers, Laurie Strode, and Dr. Loomis have occupied a ton of real estate for the last few months. With the 30 second teaser trailer released by Blumhouse being analyzed with a fine tooth comb, and a year to wait for "Halloween Kills", I can safely say I'm happy to have a break from the franchise and its long watched/discussed characters.
