You Can't Kill the Bogeyman (2012)
** (out of 4)
This ten-minute featurette was shown before the 2012 theatrical re-release of John Carpenter's HALLOWEEN. For the most part I found this featurette to be rather pointless because we've simply seen so many other documentaries, interviews, commentaries and other items on the film so you really don't learn anything new here. Nick Castle, David Tolin, George Wilbur and Del Howison are all on hand and offer a few comments but again, it's stuff we've already heard. As with most featurettes these days showing before the feature, this one here has all sorts of spoilers so I'm really confused as to why they give them before the feature when there might be people in there seeing the film for the first time. Another problem I had is that they've got a "doctor" on hand telling horror fans why they like to watch horror movies. Please, can we stop trying to speak for why people like a certain type of movie? The only good thing about this was getting to see clips from some of the sequels on the big screen.
