This week we're getting into the Halloween spirit by dissecting Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers (1989). We scrutinize the growth of its iconic franchise characters, question the merit of its updated mask, and consider its setup for the next installment. In this episode's b-side, we relive our Halloween Horror Nights escapades, read a ChatGPT-generated conversation among the hosts, Kris secures a Halloween 2024 commitment from Binx, and we take a moment to make an on-air birthday wish. This episode contains spoilers, beginning at 38:12.

This week we’re celebrating our 300th episode milestone with a live show we hosted on Friday, October 13th in honor of our show’s 6th anniversary. We look back on six years of Hack or Slash history, tackle some burning questions from our audience, and reflect on how we want to grow in the future. In this episode's b-side, we dive into our own thoughts and emotions about hosting the live show, discuss Friday the 13th tattoos, and hear some outtakes from the live show. No spoilers; just great vibes.
