One of the most exciting elements about the 2018 Halloween film is that actress Jamie Lee Curtis once more returned as Laurie Strode. The movie used Laurie as a modern day Dr. Loomis, someone who was eager to track down and stop Michael Myers before he could continue his killing spree any further. While Jamie Lee Curtis will reprise the role again for the upcoming sequel Halloween Kills, it seems her character Laurie Strode won’t have that much of a role this time around. While Jamie Lee Curtis and her character Laurie Strode will continue to be the “emotional core”…

It isn’t any surprise that The Conjuring became one of the biggest horror films of the 2010’s. With James Wan directing, it was almost always a guaranteed hit. But it’s still been surprising to see just how strongly the rest of the franchise took off.

Obviously with so many movies, there’s a relatively endless number of scares and villains featured across the…

It may be hard to believe or remember, but at one point in time we almost never received any kind of Deadpool movie from Fox. The studio initially feared that audiences wouldn’t resonate with the character, and that the R-rating would keep the film from being a box office success like previous PG-13 X-Men films. Obviously we know otherwise now, but at the time, things seemed pretty bleak for Deadpool. That was, at least, until test footage created for the proposed Deadpool movie was mysteriously leaked, footage which hyped up audiences enough to push the studio into finally giving the…

The ongoing Coronavirus pandemic has been a fascinating and disappointing addition to 2020. On one hand, it’s forced a creative new way of living for many people – and as a result has pushed things like streaming, working from home, and other alternatives into the mainstream.

While people are still trying to endure the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, especially those of us movie fans who’ve been suffering with the hit to traditional theaters and a variety of mainstream releases, there is still some hope at the end of the tunnel. For example, drive-in theaters have been making an impressive comeback throughout the pandemic. And to make matters even better for horror fans, it looks like John Carpenter’s original 1978 classic Halloween, along with its sequels Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers and Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers, will all be coming to drive-in theaters!…
