Episode 19B - Tales of Halloween Watchalong
This is a continuation of The Late Night’s October 2021 episode.
Episode 19A - Tales of Halloween (2015) & Trick 'R Treat (2007)
Welcome back fellow Late-Nighters! This year, Axis and Moaner decided the best way to celebrate Halloween was to do some anthology horror films. What could possibly be more Halloween and Horror-Anthology than the pairing of The October Society’s Tales of Halloween (2015) and Michael Dougherty’s Trick ‘R Treat (2007).
In contrast to Trick ‘R Treat, (due to the insane amount of talent and directors featured in the film) re-watching Tales of Halloween reminded Moaner of Saturday Night Live’s Rap Video comedy skit. For those who haven’t seen the late George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead (which played throughout Tales of Halloween), you can view it as it is part of the public domain.
Moaner and Axis also thought it would be neat to show fans what an old-school Halloween Safety Educational Video from Centron looks like which you can view here. Here, you can watch the first Sam cartoon, that creator, Michael Dougherty animated back when we was a student at NYU. Also, if you enjoyed Trick ‘R Treat but haven’t purchased a copy in several years, Moaner recommends getting the Shout Factory edition and watching the deleted scenes (they really do add a different layer to the film). Finally, for those who miss actress, Samm Todd - who played the character of Rhonda, you watch her latest interview at Scares That Care 2021 with journalist, Todd Staruch, The Horror Nerd.

Episode 11B - The Purge Watchalong
This is a continuation of The Late Night’s November episode for 2020.
Episode 11A - The Purge (2013) & You're Next (2011)
A belated Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! If anyone was anticipating this episode earlier, Moaner apologizes for putting the ‘late’ in Late Night this month as he was under the weather. In recognition of how politically turbulent November can be for everyone, Axis and Moaner decided to plunge into films that cover killing your friends, family & neighbors. We began with James DeMonaco’s The Purge from 2013 starring Ethan Hawke, Lena Headey, and Edwin Hodge; and followed that with Adam Wingard’s You’re Next from 2011 starring Sharni Vinson, AJ Bowen, Ti West, and Barbara Crampton.
