Kyle Willoughby and Claire White are filled with the spirit of Halloween and nostalgia. Therefore, it’s time to look back at the Tim Burton classic that may also be the most influential Halloween movie ever. Kyle looks deep into the film’s “Halloween Town” and considers its originality as well as its Celtic roots. Claire gets into the collaborative process that formed the film as well as how it was shaped by the young Tim Burton’s creative frustrations at Disney. Our hosts cap off the episode with their thoughts on the film, how it holds up over time, and the surprises they encountered re-watching it.
