If you’ve been meaning to catch up on the entire Halloween series before Halloween, look no further than this two-minute primer from the folks at CineFix. They offer some frantic and impassioned commentary on everyone’s favorite mute madman Michael Myers and his gruesome killings that take place on Halloween.

 

The original film in the long-running series was created by John Carpenter and Debra Hill (with Carpenter directing). Inspired by Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho, Halloween kicked off a series of slasher films that took the world by storm (look to the gialli on Italian shores for proof of the genre’s international influence). CineFix gives a rundown on every film in the series, including the Rob Zombie reboots. Check it out and get excited for Halloween.
