Halloween Kills Will Be Bigger and Bloodier Than the Last Film

New DVD release, , ,
In 2018 David Gordon Green made a bold choice. By taking on a direct sequel to John Carpenter’s 1978 classic, Halloween, he retconned out every other film in the franchise. Carpenter himself was on board as executive producer and composer and amazingly both fans and critics loved it. Perhaps even more extraordinary, its arrival seems to mark a resurgence in slashers across the board, with this year’s Fear Street, Candyman (also a sequel to the original), and a Scream refresh on the horizon for 2022.  So now, with the second part of his Halloween trilogy on the way, any hint…

Halloween Kills Shifts to Day and Date Streaming Release on Peacock

New DVD release, , , , ,
This is going to cut movie theater owners as deeply as, well, Michael Myers after he leaves the kitchenware aisle. Universal Pictures announced with little pomp or fanfare on Thursday that David Gordon Green and Jamie Lee Curtis’ long anticipated follow-up to their 2018 Halloween reboot, Halloween Kills, will now premiere simultaneously in theaters and on the NBC-Universal streaming service, Peacock. The shift does not mean Halloween Kills has been delayed again. In fact, it is now certain to open in theaters on Oct. 15. However, it will also be available for streaming (and presumably online piracy) on the exact…

Link Tank: LEGO Star Wars is Making a Halloween Special

New DVD release, ,
LEGO is making a Star Wars Halloween special sure to scare up some fun shenanigans. “When Rogue One: A Star Wars Story came out in 2016, perhaps its most notable achievement was making Darth Vader scary again. After decades of familiarity and the thoroughly unintimidating prequel trilogy, it was almost impossible to remember that once Vader was considered frightening. This Star Wars Halloween Special from LEGO probably won’t change anything, but at least it looks fun.” Read more at Gizmodo The finale for season 5 of Rick and Morty might be setting up a sixth season fans won’t be too…

WandaVision Episode 6 Review: All-New Halloween Spooktacular!

New DVD release, , , ,
This WandaVision review contains spoilers. WandaVision Episode 6 Ah, remember last week? When you were living in the glowing warmth of corporate synergy? When Disney’s ownership of Fox meant that, aside from essentially creating a monopoly, the company could also finally introduce the X-Men into the MCU? What a wild time. And in the wake of that utterly satisfying and enjoyable reveal, we now find Westview changed once again. The ’90s never happened and instead the Visions are living in what seems to be the year 2000.  It’s Halloween and the family is preparing for the big night. If you’re…

Blumhouse Horror Movies Update: Halloween Kills, Insidious 5 and More

New DVD release, , , , , ,
One of the most prolific production companies of recent times has been Blumhouse, which spent the better part of the past 15 years delivering low-to-mid-budget quality genre entertainment — mostly horror, some of it in other genres like sci-fi and thriller — to eager audiences watching at the movie theater or on TV (the company has also been behind dramas like Whiplash). Like every other entertainment entity out there, Blumhouse has been impacted heavily by the coronavirus pandemic. Not only has the company shuffled release dates and moved films either onto premium VOD or out of 2020 completely, but production…

Ted Lasso Should Be Your Halloween Costume

New DVD release, , ,
Most geeks are pretty punctual when it comes to planning and executing a Halloween costume. What is Halloween if not just a nationally sanctioned excuse to show off our cosplaying skills? However, 2020 has caused even the most honored traditions and best laid plans to fall in flux. If you find yourself without a costume just days away from Halloween 2020, let us make a suggestion: dress as the titular character from Apple TV+’s most popular comedy series, Ted Lasso. Pulling off Jason Sudeikis’s look as the affable Ted Lasso is a considerably easy lift that won’t break the bank.…

Michael Myers vs Pinhead: The Hellraiser/Halloween Crossover That Never Was

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Up until the new millennium, cinematic crossovers were largely the preserve of Abbott and Costello or Godzilla. But that all changed in 2003 with the arrival of Freddy Vs. Jason. The Nightmare on Elm Street/Friday the 13th mashup had been 16 agonising years in the making. New Line Cinema shelled out a reported $6 million on script development alone with as many as 16 different writers taking a stab at the concept.  Despite such inauspicious beginnings, however, Freddy Vs. Jason ended up being a massive hit, raking in $116.6m off the back of a modest $30m budget.  All of a sudden, crossover movies were in…

Hubie Halloween Review: Adam Sandler Gets Scared Stupid in New Netflix Movie

Netflix, New DVD release, , , , , ,
In the weeks before the 2020 Academy Award nominations were set to be announced, Adam Sandler was a guest on The Howard Stern Show. During his conversation with the host, Sandler joked that if he wasn’t handed a Best Actor statue for his role as the beleaguered Howard Ratner in last year’s critically acclaimed stress fest Uncut Gems, he’d take revenge on the world by making an absolutely awful film in response to that perceived slight. “If I don’t get it, I’m going to fucking come back and do one again that is so bad on purpose just to make…

The WNUF Halloween Special: The Making of the Most Fun Found Footage Horror Movie Ever

New DVD release, , , , , ,
The following contains spoilers for WNUF Halloween Special. In 1987, local news station WNUF held a special publicity stunt on Halloween night. Reporter Frank Stewart, joined by paranormal investigators and a priest, entered the infamous (and presumably haunted) Webber House, an empty home that was the site of a gruesome double murder. Hoping to get some ratings by doing a live call-in séance and an exorcism, Stewart and the others bit off more than they could chew as the event went completely awry. While the televised special ended in confusion, a special VHS tape was discovered years later that showed…

The patch notes for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare‘s Season 6 update (1.27) have finally been revealed by Activision and Infinity Ward.

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Hubie Halloween, the next Adam Sandler-headlined Netflix film in fulfillment of the actor’s lucrative deal with the streaming giant, is imminently arriving on the streaming platform. Interestingly, the comedy not only provides vicarious celebration for a 2020 Halloween season likely to be squelched by the health crisis, but also showcases Sandler revisiting his character well of lovable imbeciles with quixotic missions, as teased in the first trailer Appropriately set in the witchy hamlet of Salem, Massachusetts, the film centers on Sandler’s character, Hubie Dubois, a kind-but-eccentric local Halloween enthusiast, whose self-appointed role as a nebby safety patroller as earned him…

How The Batman: Hush Movie Blazed a Trail for The Long Halloween

New DVD release, , , ,
Warning: this article contains spoilers for Batman: The Long Halloween. With the announcement of an animated two part feature adapting Batman: The Long Halloween to movie format came no small amount of trepidation. You see, The Long Halloween, was based on a Jeph Loeb comic. And like the other Jeph Loeb comics converted to movies (Hush and two Batman/Superman stories), The Long Halloween is a bad comic. But the one glimmer of hope that shone through this announcement for me was that the most recent adaptation of his work – Batman: Hush – was a marked improvement on its source…

Halloween Kills Moves to 2021 Due to Coronavirus Concerns

New DVD release, , , ,
Halloween Kills will have to wait a full year to fulfill its titular declaration. That’s because the film, a direct sequel to 2018’s Halloween revival movie, is quickly approaching an October 2020-scheduled release date that’s looking increasingly unfeasible in the face of a possible second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. Universal Pictures, who’s handling distribution for the Blumhouse co-production, has moved Halloween Kills to October 15 2021—exactly one full year from its previous October 15, 2020 date. Consequently, the shift will directly affect the film’s would-be successor, trilogy-completing offering Halloween Ends, which will similarly shift back from its October 15,…

Halloween Kills Cast, Plot, Release Date, and all the Latest News

New DVD release, , ,
It used to be that ‘remake’ was something of a dirty word in horror after audiences were bombarded with substandard do-overs at the start of the 2000s (The Omen, The Wicker Man, The Last House on the Left, Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street, we could go on…) But despite early cynicism David Gordon Green’s new take on John Carpenter’s seminal stalk ‘n slash was well received by fans and critics alike and did great box office. So when it was announced that Halloween 2018 would form part of a trilogy with Halloween Kills coming in 2020 and…
