Halloween Rifftrax (13 Days Of Hallowe'en)

Here's the review I wrote on the MST3K Discussion Board at the time I first watched the Halloween Rifftrax:

Halloween proves the rule that there should be no sacred cows when it comes to making fun of movies. A much loved, me included, seminal horror flick provides many a great laugh, if your sense of humour is as skewed as Mike and Kevin's, allowing you to look at the movie's flaws instead of why it's great. In a way then it's similar to Mike's Night of the Living Dead commentary, but this is way better, with Kevin in particular in great form. Personal favourite riffs include Darth Vader stumbling onto the wrong set and the whole run of Carpenter coming home from work over the opening tracking shot. Halloween is a fun Rifftrax that should become a holiday tradition like the MST3K Xmas episodes.


Here's the scene that I was talking about with Mike and Kevin pretending that the opening tracking shot is just John Carpenter coming home from his work:
