There's a new Halloween sequel out, Halloween Kills, that wraps up the trilogy of Michael Myers movies directed by David Gordon Green (Pineapple Express) and we figured we'd use that as the launching pad to talk about all the scary Halloween horror tropes that irk us to no end and recommend some examples of the genre, both new and old, that subvert expectations.

Where to watch:
Psycho
Mr. Sardonicus
Halloween (1978)
The Funhouse
The Silence of the Lambs
Midsommar
Barbarian
Halloween (2018)
Halloween Kills
Halloween Ends
