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 →

HALLOWEEN KILLS – WHAT WE KNOW SO FAR Halloween Kills has officially started filming and we’re getting more insider news about casting and some of the themes writer/director David Gordon Green will be covering.

I’ve read a few tweets by original Tommy Doyle Brian Andrews that he’s not too pleased about being passed over. With the news of the return of Tommy Doyle,Read More →

In honor of Halloween coming up, I thought I’d take a look at some alternative movies you can watch this season depending on your scare level. Here’s my take on the “If you liked…then check out…” If you liked: HOCUS POCUS Then check out: THE WATCHER IN THE WOODS (1980) Bette Davis and a Real Housewife in the same movie? Can it be? The Curtis family is excited for a new chapter as they move into a new house living under the guidance of it’s caretaker, Ms. Aylwood (Davis). It’s an old mansion full of secrets, and Ms. Aylwood is not too keen on havingRead More →
