‘Halloween’ horror tropes we hate and scary movies that subvert expectations | Streamed & Screened podcast

There’s a new “Halloween” sequel out, “Halloween Kills,” that wraps up the trilogy of Michael Myers movies directed by David Gordon Green (“Pineapple Express”) and we figured we’d use that as the launching pad to talk about all the scary horror tropes that irk us to no end and recommend some examples of the genre, both new and old, that subvert expectations.
