  3. Modern Horror Halloween: Primer

    Season 1, Episode 1

    Show notes

    Welcome to Modern Horror Halloween, a podcast that celebrates the iconic slasher franchise, Halloween!

    In this primer episode host Emma Arneil is joined by co-hosts Baz Greenland and Ashley Thomas as they head to Haddonfield.

    We talk our relationships with the franchise, the films we cannot wait to revisit, the ones we'd rather forget and the increasingly ropey Michael Myers masks along the way!

    Plus, we establish one very important thing early on: we all love H20.
