For our Halloween episode, we’re covering the horror-comedy The Midnight Hour, an ABC made-for-TV movie from 1985. It’s basically Michael Jackson’s Thriller as a feature length movie. It’s got all the classic Thriller touches–– zombies, werewolves, a mix of 1950’s and 1980’s teenagers, and a big MTV-style musical number. Yet the Midnight Hour doesn’t come off as derivative; it’s spooky fun with great cinematography and a killer soundtrack of 60’s songs. The film has earned a place as beloved Halloween cult classic. The Midnight Hour stars Lee Montgomery and Jonna Lee, as well as the relatives of some big-name stars––Shari Belafonte, Peter DeLuise and Deedee Pfeiffer––and Reading Rainbow icon LeVar Burton.  Writer Louis Jordan and filmmaker Katie Madonna Lee talk about Katie’s childhood memories of The Midnight Hour and the perfect nostalgia-storm of an 80’s holiday movie with 60’s music.
