Jamie Lee Curtis Interview – HALLOWEEN KILLS and the Legacy of Michael Myers Jamie Lee Curtis is an icon in the horror genre thanks to her memorable role of Laurie Strode in the Halloween movies.

I had the great honor to sit down with Curtis to talk about the latest in David Gordon Green’s new trilogy, Halloween Kills. We talk about having some of the originalRead More →

HALLOWEEN KILLS Word started racing around Film Twitter on Thursday, June 24 that the new Halloween Kills trailer was attached to The Forever Purge. This lead to leaks from people who already saw that trailer and the teams at Universal Pictures and Blumhouse decided to release it ahead of schedule. I’ve watched it a few times now, and it does NOT disappoint! I will say that it looks pretty spoiler heavy in terms of explaining how Michael Myers gets out of the house that’s burning down as we saw at the end of Halloween (2018) and we get shots of some brutal kills. We getRead More →

A NEW TEASE OF “HALLOWEEN KILLS” Imagine my disappointment earlier this year when Universal Studios/Blumhouse Productions announced that Halloween Kills would have to wait until next Halloween, October 2021 before we would be able to see it. All because of the pandemic. The movie is shot, edited, and finished, but the studio and creative team want it shown in a theater with packed house. None of that is possible in 2020. Today marked the first virtual BlumFest. Head honcho Jason Blum invited us in on a variety of mini panels and conversations regarding a variety of their up and coming movies and TV series. ItRead More →

The excitement for us Halloween fans is sky high with the return of many familiar faces from the original film like Kyle Richards, Charles Cyphers, and NancyRead More →
