Whether it’s the original director or not, following up all time classics in a series is a tall task. We have seen it with many of the greatest movies of all time like Rick Rosenthal having to follow up John Carpenter and Halloween or John Boorman following up William Friedkin and The Exorcist. Sometimes the original director has a go at it for contractual obligations like Tobe Hooper and Cannon films giving us Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 or for passion like John Carpenter himself electing to attempt to give us a better version of Escape from New York but in Los Angeles. Sorry, John, we still think you are wrong about that one. One director that made a career of it was George Romero. While he certainly had a varied career with things like Knightriders, Creepshow, and Monkey Shines, he is also the godfather of modern zombie horror. After Night of the Living Dead...

It sounds crazy at first, but what if Halloween III: Season of the Witch really was part of the Michael Myers timeline?

Released in 1982, Halloween III: Season of the Witch is famously the only film in the Halloween franchise without Michael Myers. The movie shifted gears to tell a standalone story, one rooted in science fiction and folk horror rather than the slasher violence Myers embodies. But some fans have theorised that Season of the Witch could actually tie into Michael Myers’ story—if we imagine that the film’s Silver Shamrock corporation helped create the unkillable monster we know today. And it’s not as impossible as it might sound.

This theory, which emerged online in recent years, has reenergised fans of Season of the Witch and sparked discussions about how far the Halloween mythos could stretch. What if Michael’s superhuman resilience and relentless desire to kill had...

If you still haven’t heard the earworm that is the “Ballad of the Witches’ Road,” from Marvel’s Agatha All Along count yourself lucky, because it is catchy. There are even multiple versions of the song, an original masterpiece by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez with various lyrics, which are fun to decipher. For example, Lorna Wu’s version of the ballad contains different verses than the original one sung by Agatha’s ragtag coven. Japanese Breakfast even covered a new pop version of the ballad, produced by Jack Antonoff.

Florence + the Machine’s song “Seven Devils” was used in a teaser trailer for the show. Showrunner Jac Schaeffer even made a musical nod to Dolly Parton’s song “Jolene,” hinting that Kathryn Hahn’s Agatha was the inspiration for that song in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

For all the needledrops in the witchy Marvel series — from...

Quick Links The Crazies Is a Terrifying Sci-Fi Horror Spectacle The Crazies Was Filmed on a Low Budget Romero's Underrated Cult Classic

Legendary horror pioneer and celebrated filmmaker George A. Romero is fondly regarded as the "Father of the Zombie Film," having helmed a slew of iconic cinema classics throughout his illustrious career, including Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Martin, and Creepshow. He swiftly established himself as one of Hollywood's most unique and talented directors with the critical and commercial success of the 1968 zombie masterpiece, Night of the Living Dead, sparking a cultural phenomenon and becoming an influential horror hit.

During the 1970s, Romero struggled to achieve the same prosperity and praise that his directorial debut afforded him, following up Night of the Living Dead with two underwhelming pictures: There's Always Vanilla and Season of the Witch. He attempted to bounce back and return to...

What is the legacy of David Gordon Green's "Halloween" reboot trilogy? When the first film, "Halloween," arrived in 2018, fans and even critics were impressed — a dormant franchise was alive again! But then Green would go on to make two more movies, both of which were met with a much more lukewarm reception. The sequel "Halloween Kills" had plenty of gore, but it was also a bit of a mess and not nearly as praised as the 2018 movie. Then came "Halloween Ends." Marketed as the definitive conclusion to the story of Michael Myers and Laurie Strode, "Halloween Ends" was drubbed by both critics and loyal fans. As a result, the general consensus surrounding Green's trilogy these days seems to be negative. But what if I told you that "Halloween Ends" is ... good, actually? In fact, it might even be great. And you don't have to take my word for it! Stephen King,...

Plex is gearing up for an exciting lineup of films and series in November 2024. Viewers can look forward to a variety of new additions, including Blue Ridge, But I’m A Cheerleader, Call Jane, and Empire State. Cult classics like The Grudge, Hard Candy, House of 1000 Corpses, and The Midnight Meat Train are also hitting the platform, alongside more recent hits like Wind River and Where’d You Go, Bernadette? For fans of horror, thrillers, and emotional dramas, there’s no shortage of options. However, Plex is also bidding farewell to a number of films and shows in November. Among those leaving are 24 Hours to Live, Drive Angry, The Devil’s Rejects, Snowpiercer, and USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage. If you’ve been meaning to watch these titles, now is the time to catch them before they disappear. For those looking to binge their favorites, many notable titles are still available for streaming.

On top of portraying one of the most iconic versions of Spider-Man, Andrew Garfield is also an extremely beloved figure in the world of Hollywood. Being one of the least controversial figures out there, his light-hearted personality and ability to make audiences love him more and more with each passing day have turned him into a heavily respected figure in the industry.

Just when one thought that this admiration could not get any greater, the actor ended up getting more fan support. During a recent interview, Garfield was asked if he ever wanted to be a father. His answer is one of the most thoughtful ones out there.

Andrew Garfield On Being A Father

Recently, Andrew Garfield gave an interview with Esquire for the promotion of his upcoming film with Florence Pugh, We Live in Time.

AMC kicks off this year’s FearFest celebration on Tuesday, October 1, 2024, and the network has provided us with the full schedule as we anxiously await the month-long marathon.

Agatha All Along has premiered as a big part of Disney+'s October line-up, as well as formally picking up the Marvel Cinematic Universe after the success of 2024's summer blockbuster Deadpool & Wolverine. The nine-episode miniseries picks up the story of sorceress Agatha Harkness, imprisoned by a magic spell following the events of WandaVision and only just now realizing her predicament. Kathryn Hahn returns as Agatha, very angry at her current predicament and eager to free herself before her rivals kill her.

As is traditional for the McU's Disney+ series, the show's closing credits deliver a montage of themed imagery. In this case, it delivers a plethora of pop-culture references to witches and black magic, all under the sounds of Donovan's "Season of the Witch." That includes a number of recognizable movies, TV shows and works of literature. A list of them is provided below, along with a...

Spooky season has arrived early, and it flew in on the broomstick of Agatha Harkness. Ok fine, technically the Marvel witch doesn’t need a broom to fly, but “Agatha All Along” does bring the witchiest of witch vibes with its playlist.

Thanks to the cast’s performance at the D23 Expo this year, we knew that Marvel’s latest series would feature another new original song, in the form of “The Ballad of the Witches’ Road.” Unfortunately, we only hear the faint melody of it in the season premiere, as Agatha (Kathryn Hahn) unwittingly hums it in her car.

It comes in full in episode two, and on top of that, we already have a solid spooky season playlist building up in the episodes.

Here’s a rundown of all the songs in “Agatha All Along” (so far):

Episode 1 “The Ballad of the Witches’ Road” by Kathryn Hahn...

Say what you will about the Marvel Cinematic Universe's foray into television on Disney+, but you can't deny that the company knows how to craft a credit sequence. AI-fueled "Secret Invasion" screw-up aside, Marvel shows on Disney+ have signed off with some of the most creative, enjoyable end credits in recent memory, many of them a mini-adventure in their own right.

"Agatha All Along" is no exception. The new series may not be big on mid-credit scenes, but it uses its end credits to tell us exactly what it's about. The first episode ends with the Donovan song "Season of the Witch," which would be too on the nose if it weren't such an excellent, effective tune. It also shows the names of the series' cast and crew over a sort of witchy mood board, one that features witches ranging from creepy to adorable. There's historical information on display, complete...

Now that the spooky season is upon us, the Marvel Universe will be getting in on the wicked fun with Kathryn Hahn’s new horror series Agatha All Along. The WandaVision spin-off follows not only Agatha Harkness, but a whole coven of witches. Entertainment Weekly has a new preview for what’s in store for viewers on this upcoming season of the show. As WandaVision took audiences through the different eras of family sitcoms, Agatha All Along will similarly play with tributes to the famous witches of pop culture history.

Hahn talks about how the show gave her the privilege of emulating one of the most famous of characters — the Wicked Witch of the West from The Wizard of Oz. Hahn stated that it “was also a childhood dream come true.” Meanwhile, her co-star, Patti LuPone, would don numerous crowns as Glinda, “I think I speak for a lot of us,...

There was once a time when the most controversial installment in the Halloween franchise was 1982’s Season of the Witch. Now that that movie has an incredible cult following (of which I count myself a devout member), the most clear choice for many is Halloween Ends, David Gordon Green’s trilogy capper that found Michael Myers living in a sewer and nearly passing his torch to a neighborhood outcast…Yep.

Although far from being the worst-reviewed movie in the Halloween franchise – which David Gordon Green resurrected 40 years after John Carpenter’s original – and it does have its share of fans – so many of the decisions made by Green and his writing team were questionable to say the least. But Green is well aware of this and the disconnect he created from the bulk of fans. “As you see with the Halloween movies, the choices I make aren’t always the most popular ones.

Has the Season of the Witch returned, in terms of unconscionable decision-making regarding the Shape? Well, at the very least, Titus Peoples and Nigel Harden are threatening to repeat history where the Halloween franchise is concerned. The two creatives neither have any connection to the series Miramax is developing, for the record are collaborating on a spec script they hope will become a prequel series to the immensely popular horror franchise.

However, their proposed pitch, titled Loomis, revolves around the character of Dr. Sam Loomis before he ever encounters the homicidal Michael Myers, aka the Shape, in 1963. So, just as the disastrous Halloween III: Season of the Witch did back in 1982, the series wouldn't include the Shape. Peoples updated the proposals status on Facebook as follows:

Pilot episode 90% written. Super early development. Written and developed by Titus Peoples & Nigel Harden.

Pilot episode 90% written Super early developement Written and developed by...

An underrated Halloween movie is joining Peacock next month. Halloween III: Season of the Witch, the only installment in the franchise to not feature Michael Myers, is set to arrive on the streaming service at the start of September.

Peacock has announced that Halloween III: Season of the Witch will become available to stream on the platform beginning Sept. 1, 2024. Released in 1982, Halloween III does not take place in the same timeline as the first two films and is instead set in its own continuity. The movie follows Dr. Dan Challis (Tom Atkins) as he tries to solve the mysterious murder of a patient in his hospital. Aided by the patient's daughter Ellie (Stacey Nelkin), the pair travel to the small town of Santa Mira, California, where they discover that Silver Shamrock Novelties, a company run by Conal Cochran (Dan O'Herlihy), is attempting to use the mystic powers of the Stonehenge...

What is it with Nicolas Cage and evil cults? From the trashy thrills of his Wicker Man remake to the stylized hyper-violence of Mandy, the veteran actor has taken out countless crazed believers throughout the course of his long and varied career, and I don’t think he’s about to stop anytime soon. That being said, there’s only one Nick Cage flick where he gets into a shoot-out with homicidal Satanists while continuing to have sex with a waitress – and that would 2011’s underrated neo-grindhouse thriller, Drive Angry – a near-perfect example of Horror Adjacent cinema.

Hot off the success of 2009’s surprisingly profitable My Bloody Valentine 3D (which I’d argue is one of the best horror remakes of the 2000s), director Patrick Lussier wanted to keep experimenting with new 3D technology in a more action-packed cinematic playground. Inspired by the sleazy exploitation flicks of the 70s (as...

Tina Romero teases her upcoming zombie movie Queens of the Dead. Tina Romero is the daughter of prolific director George Romero, who is best known for films such as Night of the Living Dead, Season of the Witch, and Dawn of the Dead. Tina Romero has previously directed two short films and an episode of the TV series Flicker, but Queens of the Dead will be her first feature film.

Speaking with Fangoria, Romero shares details about Queens of the Dead. Check out the full quote from Romero below:

My dads zombies were always reflecting what was going on in the world, and I almost feel a responsibility to take the torch and keep the Romero zombie alive, upholding, respecting, paying homage to it, while also introducing myself and my own voice as a filmmaker, and my own perspective. Which is different from his.

It takes place over one night,...

The Frozen Ground starring Nicolas Cage recently made it to Netflix's Global Top 10 with 3.4 million views. The film only received a 61% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, struggling at the box office with a budget of $27.2 million. Despite a lukewarm reception, The Frozen Ground's resurgence on Netflix may be linked to increasing interest in Nicolas Cage.

The Frozen Ground has been given a new chance on Netflix as it reaches the Global Top 10. The Frozen Ground is a 2013 Nicolas Cage thriller wherein the actor plays an Alaska State Trooper who teams up with a young woman who escaped a serial killer in order to capture the murderer. In addition to Cage, the movie features a leading cast including Vanessa Hudgens, John Cusack, Dean Norris, Gia Mantegna, Robert Forgit, Brad William Henke, Michael McGrady, Katherine Lanasa, and Ryan ONan.

Now, The Frozen Ground managed to make it onto the Netflix Global...

In this day and age, there are more films being made than ever before. It's easy to miss movies, so many audiences turn to sites like Rotten Tomatoes for guidance, though that may not necessarily have an impact on the box office. There's a common misconception about how that site works, though. The score given to each film isn't a representation of how good the movie is; instead, it represents the percentage of critics who would recommend the film overall. In other words, if half of all surveyed critics loved a movie and half of them hated it, the movie would clock in at 50% Fresh. That may not seem like a great score, but all it indicates is that a movie is polarizing; you might find yourself on either side of that divide.

With that in mind, the films on this list have near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes scores. That means almost...

BAFTA-nominated Irish actor Robert Sheehan (The Umbrella Academy) has signed on to lead a stage adaptation of Bruce Robinson’s 1987 cult tragi-comedy Withnail and I at the Birmingham Repertory Theatre alongside actors Adonis Siddique and Malcolm Sinclair.

Directed by the double Olivier Award-winning Sean Foley, Artistic Director of Birmingham Rep, and designed by Alice Power, the show will premiere at Birmingham Repertory Theatre, with performances from 3 May until 25 May 2024.

The adaption was written by Robinson. The original film was based on an unpublished novel by Robinson and was produced by Handmade Films, with Richard E Grant, Paul McGann, and Richard Griffiths leading. On stage, Sheehan will star as Withnail while Siddique is Marwood, and Malcolm Sinclair is Uncle Monty.

Sheehan made his acting debut in Aisling Walsh’s acclaimed feature Song For A Raggy Boy. Since then, his screen credits include Season of the Witch, Cherrybomb, Killing Bono, The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones,...

Starcats are a new collectible set in Season of the Wish in Destiny 2 and are needed to earn the Wishbearer Title. There are 14 in total scattered throughout the game. Upon gathering every cat, Guardians will complete the Familiar Felines Triumph. This is a common reoccurring step for completing the seasonal Emblem. While this may not be as difficult as other tasks in Season of the Wish, the Starcats tend to be hidden from view. This article will provide extra help with locating each collectible.

Completing the Familiar Felines Triumph will reward you with the Wyrmguard Ghost shell. Back in Season of the Haunted, Guardians were tasked with collecting all Calus Bobbleheads on the Derelict Leviathan. Both missions are similar, having you scour through activities and various destinations to find all 14 Starcats. Unfortunately, this Triumph cannot currently be completed as all collectibles are not released. More Starcats are added in Destiny 2 with each story update.

. Cush Jumbo in “Criminal Record,” premiering January 10, 2024 on Apple TV+. Apple TV+ has revealed the trailer for “Criminal Record,” the new eight-episode, one-hour crime thriller starring Academy Award winner Peter Capaldi and Critics Choice Award nominee Cush Jumbo as detectives in a tug of war over a historic murder conviction. “Criminal Record” will make its global debut on Apple TV+ with the first two episodes on Wednesday, January 10, 2024, followed by new episodes weekly, every Wednesday through February 21. From BAFTA Award nominee Paul Rutman, “Criminal Record” is a powerful, character-driven thriller set in the heart of contemporary London. An anonymous phone call draws two brilliant detectives into a confrontation over an old murder case – one a young woman in the early stages of her career, the other a well-connected man determined to protect his legacy.

In Stuart Baird's 2002 film "Star Trek: Nemesis," Tom Hardy plays Shinzon, a human clone of Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart), grown in a lab by the dastardly spies in the Romulan Empire. When their clone plot didn't quite turn out the way that they wanted, the Romulans disavowed Shinzon's existence and sent him as a young boy to be enslaved in a Reman mine. The Remans were a cousin species of the Romulans that had been enslaved for many generations. Shinzon would grow up among the goblin-looking Remans, sharing their plight. Perhaps possessed of Picard's knack for leadership, Shizon would eventually lead a Reman uprising against the Romulans. "Nemesis" was the first time Trekkies ever caught a glimpse of the Remans. Shinzon's massive warship, the Scimitar, would be staffed entirely by Reman officers.

Most notably, Shinzon's unnamed right-hand man, a Reman Voiceroy, would be played by Ron Perlman, an...

The original Halloween came out in 1978, and it's still considered one of the most impactful slasher movies ever made. Halloween tells the story of Michael Myers, a young boy who kills his teenage sister. Years later, he terrorizes the people of Haddonfield as a Boogeyman lurking in the shadows. The opening scene went down in history for putting the audience in Michael's point of view as he brutally stabs his sister to death.

Although Halloween wasn't the first slasher film ever made, it popularized the genre. Many of the common slasher tropes, like the final girl trope, first emerged and popularized thanks to the efforts of Halloween. Since the original Halloween became so successful, a massive franchise followed. Michael Myers remains one of the most iconic horror legends to ever hit the screen. Halloween's popularity hasn't died, even after decades.

Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers - 4.9/10 Release...

The medical inaccuracies in the kill scene from Halloween 6 where John Strode's head explodes from electrocution have been pointed out by ER doctor Jordan Wagner on the YouTube channel Doctor ER. Wagner mentioned that foaming at the mouth is often seen in rabies cases, and he's never witnessed anything explode due to electrocution. Wagner explains that electrocuting someone would typically result in cardiac arrest and burning of nerves and tissue, not explosions.

A kill from Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers has been criticized for its medical inaccuracies. The 1995 slasher sequel was the sixth Halloween movie, following the continued exploits of masked serial killer Michael Myers as he returned to his former Haddonfield home, where relatives of original final girl Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) had taken up residence. While Michael killed several of them, the most spectacular death was given to her uncle John (Bradford English), who was stabbed...

The Halloween franchise includes five different timelines and 13 films, with each timeline, except Season of the Witch, following Michael Myers stalking victims in a similar fashion. John Carpenter's 1978 original film introduced one of the most iconic slashers and serves as a career-making moment in Jamie Lee Curtis' filmography. David Gordon Green's 2018 Halloween film is considered the best sequel to date and makes a perfect double feature with Carpenter's 1978 original. It delivers on the story, score, and brutal kills in the franchise.

The Halloween franchise is arguably one of the most watched horror franchises of the spooky season. There are five different timelines spanning across the 13 films, including all the sequels, remakes, and the stand-alone anthology film. Each timeline, except Season of the Witch, follows Michael Myers stalking victims in a similar fashion.

John Carpenter’s 1978 original film introduced one of the most iconic slashers of all time, all...

It’s October, and that means horror movie marathons galore. But one of the most common horror movie franchises to binge this time of year is, fittingly, the “Halloween” movies. There are 13 “Halloween” movies (and counting), as the series that began with John Carpenter’s 1978 classic has continued through various ups, downs and reboots. There are no less than five separate timelines for the events that occur in the “Halloween” series, which makes watching the ”Halloween” movies in order a tricky task.

But not to worry, we’re here to help guide you. Below, we’ve put together a guide to how to watch the “Halloween” movies in chronological order through the various different timelines. There’s the Og series, the Rob Zombie remakes and the most recent series of “Halloween” movies that see Jamie Lee Curtis reprising her role as Laurie Strode in yet another new timeline of events.

Michael Myers' longevity as a horror icon can be attributed to his versatility as a character, catering to different preferences of audiences. Even though the Halloween franchise seemingly concluded with Halloween Ends, there are plans for more projects featuring Michael Myers. Due to the TV rights being secured by Miramax, it is guaranteed that Michael Myers will continue to make appearances in some way or another.

When John Carpenter created The Shape, the supernatural being that would go on to become better known as Michael Myers, he could not have envisioned that the movie villain would become one of the biggest horror icons of all time. In a recent New York Comic-Con appearance, the legendary director explained why he believes the character of Michael Myers has proven to be "unkillable".

In 1978’s Halloween, Michael Myers is portrayed as a stalking, lurking killer, and the movie is all about building suspense,...

Despite what Anthony Michael Hall's Tommy Doyle wants you to believe, evil doesn't always die tonight. Most times, it lives to be rebooted over and over again.

After forever changing the horror landscape and delivering a rather inconsistent series of movies, "Halloween" returned once again in 2018. David Gordon Green rebooted the franchise with the awkwardly titled "Halloween" and its sequels, which promised to deliver the ultimate, final confrontation between Michael Myers and Jamie Lee Curtis' Laurie Strode. Green's reboot trilogy followed an older Laurie, who struggles to cope with the trauma of the horrific attack she experienced 40 years prior at the hands of the silent masked killer Michael, as well as the toll it took on her family. The trilogy also explored the impact Michael has on the larger Haddonfield community upon his return (prompting them to seek mob justice), in addition to the notion of an heir to Michael's evil.

Halloween isn't just for children. That's why whenever scary season rolls around, you need a music playlist that keeps everyone in mind - from the kids who love the latest ghoulish Disney Channel Original Movie musical to those who got down to Michael Jackson's "Thriller" when it first came out in the '80s.

That's also why you have to get creative when it comes to the spooky songs you choose for your Allhallows' Eve playlists. If you only include songs that are explicitly Halloween-themed, like "Monster Mash" by Bobby "Boris" Pickett and the Crypt-Kickers or "This Is Halloween" from "The Nightmare Before Christmas," the tunes could get stale real quick. So remember to work in music that has Halloween vibes, too.

Jimin's "Filter" may not strike you as a Halloween song at first but with lyrics like, "I can be your genie / How about Aladdin? / I'll be...

The Curse of Thorn in the Halloween franchise introduced supernatural elements to Michael Myers and removed his agency. Halloween Ends similarly introduced another supernatural element to Michael Myers, but this addition didn't remove his agency. Both the Curse of Thorn and Halloween Ends were outlandish in their own right, but only one was a bigger disservice to Michael Myers.

The Halloween franchise has been scaring audiences for decades, with Michael Myers slaying his way into stardom ever since the night he came home. Throughout the many entires in the franchise, there have been varying explanations for why "The Shape" is so evil. Unfortunately, two of these ended up being heavily criticized narrative directions for the horror franchise.

The infamous "Thorn Trilogy" introduced the Curse of Thorn, which gave Michael Myers a sort of supernatural basis. Likewise, Halloween Ends had the killer's evil infecting a young man from Haddonfield. Neither direction was beloved by fans,...

The Loaded Question Legendary Fusion Rifle is a Vanguard Nightfall weapon in Destiny 2 that was initially introduced in Season of the Forge. This weapon archetype is ideal for mid-range fights but can be used similarly to a Shotgun. Due to the charge time required to fire a Fusion Rifle, close-quarter combat requires some extra planning. This is even more evident with the Loaded Question because this weapon has a High-Impact Frame archetype. These Fusion Rifles have slow firing and high damage. They are also more accurate when stationary, moving slowly, and aiming down sights.

Each season, there is a rotation for Grandmaster Nightfalls in Destiny 2, as well as regular Nightfalls. These offer different weapons as a reward and can be drastically different in terms of difficulty. In Season of the Witch, the Loaded Question Fusion Rifle drops from The Lightblade Nightfall, which is considered one of the most challenging activities.

Halloween III: Season of the Witch is one of the few films in the franchise that actually honors John Carpenter's original idea for a Halloween anthology series set during Halloween. The movie embraces the absurd by mixing sci-fi and horror, deconstructing its own narrative and challenging viewers to go down the rabbit hole with the main characters. Season of the Witch touches on important themes such as mass hysteria, mind control, and governmental conspiracies, making it the strongest Halloween movie politically and showcasing a superb commitment to the anthology format.

Over 40 years later, Halloween III: Season of the Witch continues to age well, while most of the franchise sequels featuring Michael Myers ultimately fall into oblivion. Halloween is one of the most successful horror franchises out there, but fans are well aware there are many ups and downs involved.

Amidst jumbled chronologies and exhausting mystification of the Strodes descent into horror,...

The Halloween franchise rights are still in the process of being shopped around following their three-picture stay with Universal and Blumhouse for the David Gordon Green-directed sequel trilogy that began in 2018. That all wrapped up with 2022's Halloween Ends, a polarizing effort that divided fans for one big reason: Michael Myers wasn't front and center in the story. The Shape is the main ingredient in Halloween's secret sauce, but it's not the first time the franchise has tried to pivot away from him to continue the brand. As the franchise rights search for a new home, any studio or streamer lucky to have them must realize that most fans won't accept Halloween without Michael Myers.

It was recently announced that a huge bidding war was brewing in Hollywood over the rights to the Halloween franchise that could include a future in film or TV. Before the rights were up for grabs once again,...

Lana Del Rey did not take kindly to a Christian influencer accusing her of summoning demons.

The 38-year-old “Season of the Witch” hitmaker took to the comments section to respond after Traci Coston shared a video from one of her recent shows and implied that she was practicing dangerous witchcraft to injure the audience.

Comments have since been blocked, but Lana‘s response to the accusations was caught by fans and is going viral.

In the video, fans at one of the musician’s show appear to fall backward in a wave. It seems to be a ripple effect caused by someone near the front going down. However, to Traci, it looked like the result of dark magic.

“Lana Del Rey has been open about practicing witchcraft and, y’all, look what happened at one of her concerts,” Traci said in the clip,...

Halloween H20: 20 Years Later reset the franchise's continuity, effectively retconning two previous sequels. Halloween: Resurrection picks up from the events of H20, effectively revealing Laurie Strode's new fate. Halloween: Resurrection was universally panned, which put the franchise on hiatus until later remakes.

The Halloween franchise is somewhat unique among slasher movies in that it has numerous continuities. All of the movies take place after the 1978 original, though not all of them are canon with each other. Thus, it can be confusing to keep track of which movies are related to one another, especially when some of them were released in such quick succession. Such is the case with a somewhat infamous sequel from 2002.

Halloween H20: 20 Years Later wasn't canon with most of its predecessors, only building upon the first two movies. Thus, some might believe that Halloween: Resurrection does the same. There are a few reasons to believe this,...

The rights to the Halloween franchise are up for grabs, providing an opportunity to fulfill John Carpenter's original anthology plan. Halloween Ends concluded the conflict between Laurie Strode and Michael Myers, but the return of the franchise is now inevitable. The Halloween franchise can explore new stories outside of Michael Myers, following Carpenter's anthology plan from 1982.

Now that the rights to Halloween are up for grabs, the franchise's return can fulfill John Carpenter's original plan from the '80s. Though Carpenter only directed 1978's original Halloween movie, introducing the world to Michael Myers, he co-wrote the script for the first two movies alongside Debra Hill. For Halloween III: Season of the Witch, Carpenter and Hill took a step back, serving as producers. Interestingly, they only agreed to return for a third Halloween movie because it wasn't a direct sequel to Halloween II. Carpenter would then sit out from the...

The Halloween: Resurrection episode of Wtf Happened to This Horror Movie? was Written by Eric Walkuski, Edited and Narrated by Tyler Nichols, Produced by Andrew Hatfield and John Fallon, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.

You knew we’d have to tackle this one eventually, so let’s just hold hands and get through it together.

Halloween: Resurrection (watch it Here). The two words combined are enough to send chills down the spines of even the most hardcore movie fans. It causes trick-r-treaters to cross to the other side of the street; it’s the movie your parents warned you about. It’s the movie where this happens. To watch it is to wonder how, as in, How did we get here? From the terrifyingly simple 1978 classic to this silly, slapdash goof. It has its defenders, I think, but most of us agree that it lives near the bottom of...

Obtaining all the Deck of Whispers cards in Destiny 2 will be a season-long endeavor as the game makes new content available weekly. The new card-based mechanic was introduced with Season of the Witch, also known as Season 22. While you do not actually use them for a card game per si, you do collect up to 55 cards that compose a single deck. They are divided into two distinct categories: Major and Minor Arcana cards. These cards have various effects, from gifting items, such as Enhancement Cores, to actual effects on gameplay during Season of the Witch activities, namely Savathûn’s Spire and Altars of Summoning.

With 55 claimable cards to obtain for the Deck of Whispers, the grind will be extended throughout the several weeks of Season 22. In fact, many of the cards in Destiny 2 are time-locked behind weekly resets, which gradually introduce new story missions and content altogether. This includes some...

Unlocking loadouts in Destiny 2’s Season of the Witch is an excellent way of keeping different sets organized for a quick change before each type of activity. With this feature, you can quickly swap to a totally different loadout, featuring a different subclass, armor set, mods, and Ornaments, all with a simple button click. With it, you can swap to gear tailored for PvP activities, for instance, and then quickly switch back to a Destiny 2 Void build for Savatûn’s Spire or story missions.

The loadouts function was formally introduced with Year 6’s Lightfall expansion, though it was abundantly used prior to that with partner apps like Dim (Destiny Item Manager). However, a portion of the official in-game feature is locked behind a special set of prerequisites and cannot be fully accessed before completing a few objectives. These goals are related to Guardian Ranks, also introduced with the 2022 Dlc for...
