Happy Halloween! In 1978, John Carpenter made a film where a guy slowly strolls around a town killing babysitters for no reason, but apparently it is a deep social commentary—but if you really think about it, it isn't. It's just a movie about a guy slowly strolling around a town killing babysitters. For no reason.

Activia spokesperson Jamie Lee Curtis stars as Laurie Strode, a smokin' hot high school nerd who boys don't like because she's "too smart," yet not smart enough to realize that a guy who is clearly stalking her is on a murderous rampage and happens to be invincible.

Donald Pleasence plays Dr. Sam Loomis, a psychiatrist who somehow knows that his patient who hasn't said or done anything wrong in his 15 years of imprisonment is pure evil and bound to go on a killing spree in his hometown. It turns out he's right, but how would he know all this?

Join us as we remise about classic '70s cars, make fun of pretentious horror film nerds, and wonder why this empty, boring movie is considered such a classic.

Also, here's that weird last bit of dialogue we discussed.

A woman dumps her boyfriend because she's about to go to Harvard Law School and doesn't want his childish antics holding her back. Then this jilted lover devises an elaborate scheme to enroll in her school specifically to stalk her and systematically destroy her life.

Sound like a horror story? Well, if you switch out the gender of the psycho stalker and add some fun music, then you've got yourself the movie, "Legally Blonde."

Dear Blue,

I'm just like you. I'm a multimillionaire cool guy stud-muffin, with two still-married, supportive supermodel parents who are extremely liberal and accepting of gay people. I just don’t know how I’m ever going to come out. There are too many road blocks in front of me.

Also, all my friends are totally fine with people being gay, but I still don’t think it's going to be okay. Also, Blue, I have thought you were approximately 10 different guys in my high school and I fell in love with each of them instantly, because apparently all it takes for a gay person to fall in love is meeting another gay person, unless their name is Ethan—then, ew, gross.

Love, Jaques (I’m writing this in 2018, not 1918, believe it or not) 

P.S. I'm currently being blackmailed for no reason, but when my friends eventually find out, they will they will not take this into consideration.

P.P.S. Also, I’m going to force you to come out publicly in front of the whole school or else you don't love me and therefore are also intolerant, so you better get on that Ferris wheel—or else.
