Added 2024-10-03 10:00:03 +0000 UTC“I think that’s the liquid from Prince of Darkness” - Chris, on the pickled eggs canister at Earl’s Bar in this movie
On this month’s W❤️M, our Spooktacular Four-or Movie Month spills over to Patreon as we chat about the pretty fun slasher sequel, Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers! How sloppy is the mask in this movie? Why are we always moving this guy between hospitals in the middle of the night during the worst storm of the year? How hilarious is this gang of drunken townies? And was 1988 one of the biggest years for horror ever? PLUS: Jason Voorhees gives his Letterboxd Top Four!
Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers stars Donald Pleasance, Danielle Harris, Ellie Cornell, Michael Pataki, Beau Starr, Kathleen Kinmont, Sasha Jenson, Gene Ross, Carmen Filpi, George Sullivan, and George P. Wilbur as Michael Myers; directed by Dwight H. Little.
And don’t forget to catch us LIVE on the internet as we chat about Scream 4 on our next WORLDWIDE DIGITAL EVENT!

I was just checking to see if someone mentioned this. It was just a guy that kind of looked like Loomis.

2025-06-29 20:46:03 +0000 UTCThe deep fake of Loomis in Halloween Kills "isn't that bad" because it isn't a deep fake.

2024-11-27 13:33:30 +0000 UTCLoomis saying "Oh, Michael.. God damn you." And then unloading half a mag added a whole star to this movie for me.

2024-10-20 19:26:33 +0000 UTCI love that tekken movie.

2024-10-16 01:07:09 +0000 UTCThe Halloween-Multiplicity crossover would have to be called Michael-plicity, right?
Tim O'Connor
2024-10-13 03:19:11 +0000 UTCListening to this episode now and I want a Halloween Multiplicity movie, Loomis (Pleasence) vs Leeds (Harris Yulin) Leeds makes clone after clone of Michael and Loomis is the only one who knows their weaknesses of being shot SIX TIMES!!!!! yes I'm aware they Pleasence is dead and Yulin is older. However let's Tarkin the crap out of it.

2024-10-09 16:51:25 +0000 UTCFor nearly 40 years I've managed to avoid this movie until today. I haven't listened to the podcast yet so I spent the whole movie dumbfounded that this was an WLM episode. And than I got to the end and I understood. Chef's kiss for Loomis losing his shit like that.

2024-10-07 19:34:29 +0000 UTCAnybody else in absolute awe of Andrew having never seen Berry Gordy's Last Dragon and wish like hell you could be there for the first viewing????
Adam Ray
2024-10-07 16:34:49 +0000 UTCRe: Steve's comment about how it's an underdeveloped idea to have more than one Michael Myers in a movie, if both players pick Michael Myers you don't get a red one and a blue one, you get one Nick Castle and one Rohan Campbell

2024-10-05 22:07:43 +0000 UTCGood Gawd gentlemen, another classic bit with the "Late Night Cafe" roster of n'er-do-well's that were lucky enough to have it stay open until 2AM!!!!!! Fan-fucking-tastic.
Chris MacLeod
2024-10-04 23:35:41 +0000 UTCHere's a fun fact about Halloween (2018): The eastern European-looking guy who played the doctor(Haluk Bilginer) is actually a really talented Shakespearean actor here in Turkey. He even portrayed Antony in Antony and Cleopatra in London's Globe Theatre, but for my generation, he's best known as the voice of Buzz Lightyear and Diego from Ice Age. So, imagine our shock when we saw his head smashed in. It was hilarious!
Eren Keskin
2024-10-04 19:56:43 +0000 UTCGlad to finally hear y’all talk about the last dragon good to know you like it lol, it’s been my listener request for like 6 years
Angel Echevarria
2024-10-04 16:40:54 +0000 UTCThis is an all timer for the bits. I want an animated show of all the horror icons voiced by the boys
Ryan
2024-10-04 16:22:30 +0000 UTCI think it deserves a commentary.
profondo robbo
2024-10-04 10:11:34 +0000 UTCYou slayed this movie at the Halloween Marathon 2018 - so you were kidding.. lol.
Doug Dee
2024-10-04 05:16:36 +0000 UTCJamie Lloyd could have told the bullies in school she was Punky Brewster for Halloween, and they would have believed her.

2024-10-04 03:15:31 +0000 UTCMy favorite line is from the guy at the power plant. He sees Michael get out of a tow truck, wearing a mechanic’s jumpsuit. He’s wearing a mask of course, but it’s literally Halloween. The guy looks at him and says “What are you, some kind of Hell’s Angel?” Kills me every time! 🤣😂🤣

2024-10-04 02:55:34 +0000 UTCA great one. One of the best fours and one of the best spooky season atmospheres of any movie ever made.

2024-10-04 01:48:37 +0000 UTCOh I love that “The Last Dragon” is on their minds. An episode on either feed pleeeeaaassseee

Tom Mann
2024-10-03 22:13:45 +0000 UTCBeen waiting to here you guys cover this one!!!! Honestly it's one of my faves in the franchise!!
Chyanna Turner
2024-10-03 21:26:17 +0000 UTCA movie I think about constantly. So happy you’ve finally done it.
Hassan Khalatbari
2024-10-03 20:23:06 +0000 UTCAlso you guys should do the Last Dragon. It’s such a fun silly movie. Any movie that has Sho’Nuff, the Showgun of Harlem must be watched
Dan sulin
2024-10-03 19:41:18 +0000 UTCThe gun the shrieff is using at the end is also the same type of gun that Muldoon (tries) to use against the raptors in Jurassic Park. SPAS-12. Very famous movie gun
Les Whinen
2024-10-03 19:34:39 +0000 UTCSomehow .... Loose Loomis returned! The boys kill every impression and I have never seen this Halloween yet, excited to view tonight 😎
Watch_N_Rewatch
2024-10-03 18:59:05 +0000 UTCthey didn’t deepfake loomis in kills! it was one of their construction supervisors done in real makeup.
Nick Haerter
2024-10-03 18:37:58 +0000 UTCAre y’all gonna do Leprechaun 4 with the Dead Meat folks? 😁
Nuña Bisness
2024-10-03 18:37:01 +0000 UTCNow I need a movie with CGI Loomis and RFK Jr.
Kevin Pires
2024-10-03 18:36:09 +0000 UTCEpisodes on an Elm Street movie and a Halloween movie in the span of only a couple days? This is practically a dream come true! Looking forward to giving this one a listen tonight. I think the only pre-Rob Zombie remake and DGG trilogy movie they haven't done yet is Halloween 5. I so often mix up events in 4 and 5, I nearly forgot the cult of Thorn stuff isn't in this one.
Busiris
2024-10-03 17:57:30 +0000 UTCThe David Gordon Green trilogy is amazing.

Gregory Baffuto
2024-10-03 17:47:36 +0000 UTCI do like how I think they've mentioned that Michael is just a little too conniving or a planner in every Halloween episode...my guy is just a genius unappreciated in his own or any other time
G Goldhar
2024-10-03 17:31:20 +0000 UTCHalloween Kills rules, I wont hear otherwise!!
Gregory Baffuto
2024-10-03 17:04:31 +0000 UTCThat theme songs always hits so hard in October.
Dan sulin
2024-10-03 15:54:49 +0000 UTCSaw a copy of the movie on YouTube off a vhs. NBC movie October 1989 with seasonal commercials. I knew there’d be censors and cuts but I had to watch it. Good times.
James Gibson
2024-10-03 15:42:58 +0000 UTCI just spit coffee at “his uncle feeds women to the creature from the black lagoon” from Eric 👏👏👏
Kenneth Tribett
2024-10-03 14:50:54 +0000 UTCIt was! I think it was either the head makeup guy or one of his assistants! Came to comment that lol, not to be an “uhm actually” but because I thought that was genuinely fun and impressive lol
Wesley Hall
2024-10-03 14:38:37 +0000 UTCI thought Loomis in Halloween Kills was a guy on the crew who looked a little like Donald Pleasance, so they put him in some prosthetics? I think they touched it up with CGI, but I think it's a little more "real" than most deepfakes.
Adam Shreve
2024-10-03 14:32:15 +0000 UTCNot to be *that* guy, but INVISIBLE AGENT is technically a "4" sequel, and there's still time to do a commentary this month. I believe the terms and conditions of the "Walsh Tier" clearly state that...jk jk jk. Great ep.
Mark Ibarra
2024-10-03 14:18:55 +0000 UTCI just watched Howling IV the other day and it is awful for 98% of the movie with an absolutely spectacular ending. Everyone is over dubbed with their own voices so the dialogue is incredibly loud and disembodied. Worth watching but quite bad!

2024-10-03 13:42:42 +0000 UTCShit Earl…it’s Ted Hollister!

Matt
2024-10-03 13:15:20 +0000 UTCThis one will always have a special place in my heart. My wife and I had just moved into a new place and I spent the day building furniture watching this during AMC Fright Fest.

2024-10-03 12:10:59 +0000 UTCWell shut my mouth, Andrew just said they already did it.
Tim O'Connor
2024-10-03 11:53:30 +0000 UTCI would have expected Friday the 13th Part 4, but I'm not complaining 😁🎃
Tim O'Connor
2024-10-03 11:49:31 +0000 UTCSo buzzed to listen to this. The WHM Spooktacular is literally one of the highlights of my year! 🎃🍿😂
Johnny Collins
2024-10-03 11:06:54 +0000 UTCThis is one of my favorite movies to watch in October! The late 80s and fall vibes are just too good!
Courtney ❤
2024-10-03 10:58:47 +0000 UTCThis is my 3rd in the Halloween Franchise ranking! (H78, H18, H4, H3, H20, H2, then the others flow down and end with Zombie's.

2024-10-03 10:40:00 +0000 UTCLove Halloween 4 so glad to see it's getting the 'L' treatment, even if it only stands for "like"... 😂
