The Twin Geeks 190: Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers

The Twin Geeks

The veil has thinned. The leaves have fallen. The pumpkin guts line the garbage bins streetside, where swarms of masked adolescents march in unison in pursuit of sweet confections. The Twin Geeks, now aged 7, continues our annual tradition of Halloween specials with Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers (1995) — an inflection point where the now long-running series must either find a new direction or face imminent cancelation. As Fall sets in, the skies fill with darker clouds, and the rain clears the streets, a shadowy figure emerges. It's The Kentucky Gentleman! None other than Jesse Sparks, resident Halloween superfan and Radiohead connoisseur. As is our tradition, we run through the best of the year's horror movies, discuss the next film in our Halloween series, and review Radiohead-adjacent albums. It's 2024's best double-feature this time: two albums from the Radiohead and Sons of Kemet off-shoot band The Smile. The albums are Walls of Eyes and Cutouts. Come join us by the fire and warm up a nice autumnal tea.

And suddenly, Halloween was another word for mayhem.
