Halloween is a franchise that represents one of the pillars of the modern era of horror films. Introducing us to the William Shatner mask-wearing Michael Myers, it laid the groundwork that would later bring us the likes of Jason and Freddie. Like the other series, while the originals continue to be lauded as touchstone classics […]

Did we REALLY need another Halloween film in the franchise? This is a tough question, which really is up to the viewer to answer. The original John Carpenter Halloween is unmatched, but 2018’s true TRIBUTE ain’t no slouch. This will be as spoiler-free as I can make it, because there are some good twisty bits within the film […]

More from our Halloween trip to Disneyland, this time taking a look at the offerings in Disney’s California Adventure side of the Anaheim park, and the seasonal offerings at the newly re-opened Pixar Pier. The area that was previously used for the Lunar New Year event that we told you all about back in February […]

For >this< writer, 2018 marks the first time attending the annual Halloween festivities at Disneyland in Anaheim, California. While no stranger to the park, the separate ticket event Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party changes the lay of the land with lighting, treat trails, and a pretty amazing parade. Here’s this year’s parade, which features […]

One thing we love the most about those fabulous young actors and actresses from Netflix’s Stranger Things is how honestly they are living their lives. They’re fans of things, they’re nerds, they have social media accounts that reflect this, and they too like doing Halloween things. Specifically, to kick off the Halloween Horror Nights event at […]

Halloween continues to branch out from the cardboard black cats and plastic pumpkins, a stroll through your local Target and Michaels will no doubt reflect that. It’s like all the companies suddenly realized people will spend their adult-monies on adult-priced and quality home decor and collectables. And then there are artists like Matthew Lineham, who […]

Jamie Lee Curtis is a goshdarn gift to strong actresses. She always has been really, and it’s nice to see the genre she’s [arguably] most known for giving her the recognition she deserves. Curtis comes from Hollywood royalty, her parents Janet Leigh and Tony Curtis were giants of their silver screen days. She set the tone for […]

Halloween is right around the corner and for Disneyland and Disney World that means a spooky change in popcorn buckets and drink containers is coming. Last year, guests were able to purchase a glow-in-the-dark Oogie Boogie (from Nightmare Before Christmas) popcorn bucket, which was one of the biggest hits of the season. If you missed out […]

Fans of the Halloween franchise were beside themselves with excitement when one of our original scream queen icons Jamie Lee Curtis announced she was coming back for the new installment. She’s been with the film series since 1978 (albeit missing several of the subsequent sequels and reboots and revisits along the way) but she’s BACK for the next […]

Stranger Things has become a cultural touchstone of the Netflix era.  Appealing to nostalgia of growing up in the 80s with a modern science fiction sensibility, the series has quickly penetrated the social consciousness. For Halloween The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon generally goes all out on guests and costumes.  Last night, they had Stranger Things […]
