In this special Halloween episode, hosts Katherine Troyer and Anthony Tresca discuss the 1978 film Halloween. (Of course!)
Episode Highlights: Katherine talks about the Suburban Gothic as a critical framework, Anthony questions why the film seems to hate partially naked women, and we get into a lively debate about whether or not the film's conservative perspective undermines the larger value of the film.
A Dose of Scholarship: For more on the Suburban Gothic, we encourage you to check out Bernice M. Murphy's The Suburban Gothic in American Popular Culture. Murphy beautifully and thoroughly discusses this sub-genre through a variety of texts--from zombie films to Desperate Housewives--all the while leaving you to ponder whether you actually want that home in the suburbs after all.
