About this
An October 21, 2021 episode of the Rotten Tomatoes podcast Rotten Tomatoes Is Wrong in which hosts Jacqueline Coley and Mark Ellis, joined by horror screenwriter Michael Kennedy, dig into the entire Halloween franchise — every sequel, reboot, and sort-of-sequel-sort-of-reboot, plus the odd Halloween III detour. Recorded as Halloween Kills topped the weekend box office, the conversation asks whether the series deserves to be rated Fresher as a whole, whether Halloween III: Season of the Witch is a misunderstood gem, and what it actually takes to make an effective horror film. Kennedy argues that Halloween H20 is a better film than the 2018 Halloween.
