0:00.0	Hi this is Steve. On October 25th 1978 an independent film with a budget of $300,000
0:08.0	opened at the AMC Empire Theater in Kansas City, Missouri to a very small crowd.
0:14.8	Now needless to say the producers were disappointed, but the next night, despite the lack of
0:19.0	press and a minimal marketing budget, four times as many people showed up. Audiences doubled again the next night, and the night after that.
0:28.0	Momentum built slowly but surely as it opened across the country, until by the end of its theatrical release
0:34.4	John Carpenter's Halloween had made over 70 million dollars
0:38.9	making it one of the most successful independent films of all time.
0:43.4	Now there aren't many movies that can really claim to have created a genre, and there certainly
0:47.9	were horror films long before Michael Myers picked up his first knife.
0:51.9	But there are dozens, maybe even hundreds of films that
0:54.7	can trace their lineage back to Halloween. It has been imitated, satired,
0:59.8	sequalled, remade, and rebooted, but in the end, there's nothing quite like the original. So if you haven't seen this groundbreaking film, I highly recommend a visit to our website cinephiles.net, that's Cinee-F-I-L-E-S-D-N-N-E-N-N-E-S-N-N-E-S-N-N-E-S-N-N-E-T, where you can stream or buy Halloween along with every other film we've ever reviewed. So, that's John Carpenter's Halloween this Friday on the cinnophiles where each week we enter the world of a great film.
1:42.9	We explore its themes, its history, the filmmaking, and the influence it has on us today.
1:47.0	My name is Steve Morris.
1:48.0	I'm a filmmaker and directing instructor in Los Angeles, California.
1:51.2	Hello, my name is John Roque.
1:52.4	I'm a voice-over artist, host, producer writer, blah-de-blah over a collider video.
1:57.7	And I am not a horror aficionado, as some of you may know you know Perry
2:04.2	Nemeroff and Haley and all those over there collider they cover that but I do love
2:09.2	good horror and I'm excited that we're getting a chance to sit down and talk about this film Steve.
2:15.6	I am also Dada Horro Christinao and I'm this is one of the ones I've been most nervous about
2:21.0	doing since the beginning of the podcast.
