Found a Vanity Fair article that may be useful for this page, but I'm not sure where to put it. https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2008/03/halloween-horror-movie-golden-age Cahlin29 (talk) 03:30, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Cahlin29! Is there something in the Vanity Fair article,^{[archive link]} that's missing from the Wikipedia article? Rjjⁱⁱⁱ (talk) 03:51, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
