everyday is halloween

this movie is a trip.  the only halloween film in the franchise that does not, repeat not, feature our beloved serial killer michael myers [aka the shape].  rather than feature the goings on of a pretty pissed off & murderous former citizen of haddonfield. ill. this flick goes for something else.  the 'true' meaning of halloween.  which includes a crazed psychopath who is the head of a conglomerate that manufactures halloween masks & broadcast media.  what fun!  this CEO wants the hills to 'run red' with ritual sacrifices because death, for this story, means halloween.  this flick has some lovely autumnal photography with kids dressed in their halloween best.  again, there is really no horror movie like this one.  & the franchise returned to the stabby shenanigans of the erstwhile & always pissed off michael myers.  but for a moment the filmmakers & producers thought that halloween, as a holiday as well as a trope, can mean something other than a man in a william shatner mask getting all stabby on account of, ahem, things.
