Frank MendozaHOST
Okay.
Frank MendozaHOST
Do you know why they decided to open and close the film, of all things, with the quartet singing Mr. Sandman? I always wondered that.
Frank MendozaHOST
I don't
Andrew GrevasGUEST
know what the genesis of the idea was, but it's very effective,
Andrew GrevasGUEST
It's become associated with the series in a way that, I mean, much like Don't Fear the Reaper has.
Andrew GrevasGUEST
You know, we associate Don't Fear the Reaper with Halloween.
Andrew GrevasGUEST
Well, now we also associate Mr. Sandman with the Halloween franchise.
Andrew GrevasGUEST
And it's tough to do that with two songs and one film franchise.
DavidHOST
I also love that this movie is bookended by two great songs.
DavidHOST
First, you have Mr. Sandman as the opening, and then ending with a song from Creed, the best band from the 90s, early 2000s.
AlainHOST
I want a horror movie based around Halloween to open with, I'll take you to the candy shop.
AlainHOST
I'll make you suck the lollipop.
Jon MaturanHOST
They always use this.
Jackie BonsignoreHOST
Distorted Mr. Sandman?
Jon MaturanHOST
Yeah.
Jon MaturanHOST
All, like, slower.

Jon MaturanHOST
original producer.
Jackie BonsignoreHOST
Yeah.
Jon MaturanHOST
The freaking twisted version of Mr. Sandman.
Jackie BonsignoreHOST
Female second AD, let's go.
Don LahiHOST
lot to this movie reads, The first line to this movie is, Hey! And we start the movie.
Don LahiHOST
I love the Sandman song.
Don LahiHOST
It's a banger.
SarahGUEST
It's
Don LahiHOST
Yeah.
Don LahiHOST
Um, so we see Marion, uh, who's from one, two, we get the, the, the house is broken into.
Don LahiHOST
I love when Sandman song just cuts out.
SarahGUEST
Yeah.
Michael SmithHOST
Right.
Stuart ShepardHOST
Anyway, back in Laurie's car, Mr Sandman comes on the radio, and I've written down, this would probably have been more impactful if we hadn't heard it at the start of the film.
Stuart ShepardHOST
Yeah,
Michael SmithHOST
it's also the silly version, it's like, Mr Sandman, yes.
Michael SmithHOST
Yes.
Stuart ShepardHOST
Which I think is the one that's in Back to the Future, yeah.
speaker_3HOST
yeah that's stupid okay so number two can you guess what's number two Halloween 2 Halloween 2 from 1981 6.5 on IMDB.
speaker_3HOST
That was the first time they used Mr. Sandman.
speaker_3HOST
Yeah, I like that.
speaker_3HOST
Yeah, it goes well.
6 MINS LATER
speaker_3HOST
Someone's been in...
speaker_3HOST
Oh, actually, how that opens really well is it starts off...
speaker_3HOST
Like Mr. Sandman.
speaker_3HOST
You think, oh, it's the Sandman music.
Zach Langley Chi ChiHOST
And I like the end where Laurie's in the ambulance at the hospital as it drives away from the hospital to another hospital.
Zach Langley Chi ChiHOST
And it's playing the Mr. Sandman song.
Zach Langley Chi ChiHOST
They do like to use that a few more times.
Zach Langley Chi ChiHOST
Yeah, that comes up a lot.
MaggieHOST
Oh, that's true, yeah.
Zach Langley Chi ChiHOST
Oh yeah, that's true.
Zach Langley Chi ChiHOST
But Mr. Sandman, they can afford that and they will dump it into these trash, recycled squares of movies that are coming up.
Zach Langley Chi ChiHOST
But before then, we have one of my favorite movies in the franchise.
AshwinHOST
Yeah, it could have been.
AshwinHOST
I mean, I heard, like, in this movie, they had, like, an orchestral version of, like, the original Carpenter, you know, the Halloween theme song.
AshwinHOST
And I don't know, I kind of just misliked the straight kind of piano that Carpenter would do.
AshwinHOST
This felt, like, a little bit overblown for, like, what the film was.
12 MINS LATER
BrianHOST
Okay, so this film begins in Langdon, Illinois on October 29th.
BrianHOST
We see a knife plunge into a pumpkin, but it's just the mother carving a jack-o'-lantern with some kids as this town is getting ready to celebrate Halloween.
BrianHOST
The scene is scored by the 1954 song Mr. Sandman by the Cordettes, which played during the end credits of Halloween II.
BrianHOST
and we see a nurse exit her car, presumably coming home after a long day of work, and as she goes to enter her home, she steps on broken glass and realizes that her home has been broken into.
CarrieHOST
To the
MacHOST
sound of Mr. Sandman.
KatieHOST
That scene, I was like, I feel like...
KatieHOST
When the movie first started, in the first dance scene, I was like, this feels like a last vestige of the 80s, 90s, everyone making movies is on cocaine and heroin all the time.
KatieHOST
I felt like this movie, especially, was just a bunch of people on drugs making a movie.
KatieHOST
And then...
KatieHOST
The Mr. Sandman scene, I was like, I feel like I'm on drugs.
KatieHOST
Like, what is this?
GregHOST
Langdon, Illinois.
GregHOST
And the music playing is Mr. Sandman, the classic tune.
KarenHOST
Which apparently was in the original.
GregHOST
Yes.
