Special Event: Rifftrax: HALLOWEEN (1978)

MST Club presents! Michael Myers tested positive in a routine soul smear for Pure Evil. He killed his sister as a kid, and as an adult has escaped from his institution and is stalking a babysitter. Fortunately psychiatrist Donald "Blofeld" Pleasence is on the case. I know the reputation is that riffing is for bad movies, but Halloween is effective, and it's always great to see Pleasence. The riff was released in 2006, so 90s-style content warnings apply.

Book: Men, Women, and Chain Saws: Gender in the Modern Horror Film

From its first publication in 1992, Men, Women, and Chain Saws has offered a groundbreaking perspective on the creativity and influence of horror cinema since the mid-1970s. Investigating the popularity of the low-budget tradition, Carol Clover looks in particular at slasher, occult, and rape-revenge films. Although such movies have been traditionally understood as offering only sadistic pleasures to their mostly male audiences, Clover demonstrates that they align spectators not with the male tormentor, but with the females tormented―notably the slasher movie's "final girls"―as they endure fear and degradation before rising to save themselves. The lesson was not lost on the mainstream industry, which was soon turning out the formula in well-made thrillers. -- publisher
