🎃🔪 EPISODE 170: HALLOWEEN 2026 🔪🎃
It's our favourite night of the year, and we're celebrating the only way we know how: with The Shape. For this year's annual Halloween episode, Matty and Andrew take on two very different chapters of the Michael Myers saga — a Druid cult fever dream and a Jamie Lee Curtis comeback with an axe.
🩸 HALLOWEEN: THE CURSE OF MICHAEL MYERS (1995)
The Curse of Thorn, a sanitarium full of cultists, Donald Pleasence's final turn as Loomis, and introducing… Paul Rudd. Uneven? Sure. Silly? Absolutely. But it swings.
Matty: 3.5 | Andrew: 4
🪓 HALLOWEEN H20: 20 YEARS LATER (1998)
Laurie Strode faked her death, runs a boarding school, and keeps a bottle within arm's reach — and then her brother comes calling. Janet Leigh, Josh Hartnett, LL Cool J, and a PERFECT score from both of us.
Matty: 5 | Andrew: 5
Plus:
🔥 Horror in Real Life — Matty climbs the Hill of Ward in Co. Meath, the "birthplace of Halloween," where Samhain fires once relit every hearth in Ireland. Andrew covers the 2026 war on Halloween, a 1957 trick-or-treater who came to kill, and AI ghosts that have police investigating hauntings that never happened.
📺 Whatcha Been Watchin', Bitch — a Carrie double-dip, Resident Evil, Evil Dead Burn, Backrooms and more
🍬 Closing game: Trick or Treat… Bitch!
