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.
