FrightClub AfterHours watch party screens Undertone

cultureOct 15, 202621169

FrightClub’s AfterHours watch hosted tonight screened the film Undertone on HBOMax, with participants live-commenting throughout the viewing. Viewers repeatedly referenced Haddonfield Memorial and plot beats from Halloween II, joking about Laurie driving away from a hospital and the film’s empty nursery of silent babies while calling out apparent medical neglect. Several posts mocked practical effects and character choices, including a comment about melting polyester fusing with Loomis’s scalp and a TV edit where Jimmy rises and leaves with Laurie. Discussion broadened into the Halloween franchise, with one participant suggesting John Carpenter turned Halloween into an anthology and another defending Halloween III: Season of the Witch as a stronger movie without the numbered title. Hosts reminded viewers of more FrightClub programming next week, including a Halloween-themed night and a TalesThursday event.

My favorite part of the movie, where are they taking Laurie? She's literally driving away from a fucking hospital!! 😂😂 #FrightClub

It was fine to leave the babies behind. Of course, Laurie was the only other patient in the hospital. #Frightclub

By the time of Halloween IV, the Haddonfield Chamber of Commerce would have changed the town slogan to "Well, At Least We're not as Evil as Santa Mira When It Comes to Samhain Stuff ...™️" . #FrightClub #HalloweenII

That was a lot of fun. Always a good time checking into Haddonfield Memorial for some medical neglect #FrightClub 🎃

If anyone cares to stay up, we are doing a #frightclub #afterhours of “Undertone” on HBOMax. I don’t think we’ve stayed on a time yet, but I’m guessing in 30 minutes. All welcome!

Do you think Haddonfield has two hospitals but they only staff one fully at a time? LIke sorry it's Wednesday you've gotta go to Haddonfield General you're at Haddonfield Mercy. #FrightClub #Halloween2

And you know that melting polyester will just fuse with her scalp. It’s irresponsible but that’s our Loomis. #FrightClub

I think Halloween III: Season of the Witch is a solid movie. I actually think it would have been better received if it didn’t carry “Halloween III” in its title. I think “Halloween: Season of the Witch” would have been a better marketing approach #FrightClub
