“You’re just an old man in a Halloween mask.”
Story: When we last left Laurie & Co., her daughter had been killed by Michael Meyers, and Haddonfield was one big riot. Now, four years later, Laurie has bought herself a house, moved in with her grand-daughter, and tried to settle down. But Haddonfield is a pale shadow of itself…and the people within may be wearing masks of their own. And hey, where did Michael go, anyway?
Genre I’d put it in: Trilogy Enders That Are WILD
Release Date: 2022
Remake, Sequel, Based-On, or Original: Part of the Halloween franchise. The third of the new trilogy.
Gotta say: [Okay. So I wrote this review last night, when the WTF’ness of it all was still firmly etched into my brainpan. I tried my best to gather my thoughts, and figured I’d do better after a polish in the morning. However. I have since decided that in order for y’all to get the maximum feel of what went on in my mind – and how this movie works – I’d leave my initial thoughts be. So, come with me on this wild ride of word vomit and unstructured mental mayhem. You’re welcome, I guess?]
Y’all. You are NOT READY. You. Are. NOT. Ready. Forget what you expected, and go into this one as blind as possible. I avoided the last few trailers…okay, because I was so damn disappointed with Kills, I just wanted everything to be over. But damn if Ends didn’t flip the table.

Time for my yearly spooky playlist – enjoy the bops! 🎃
Ready to grab all the tissues and get your docudrama on? I started tearing up when the trailer began… Synopsis!
Till is a profoundly emotional and cinematic film about the true story of Mamie Till-Mobley’s relentless pursuit of justice for her 14 year old son, Emmett Till, who, in 1955, was lynched while visiting his cousins in Mississippi. In Mamie’s poignant journey of grief turned to action, we see the universal power of a mother’s ability to change the world.

Continue readingReady for the final nail in Michael’s coffin? (She said hopefully…) Synopsis!
In this unexpected final chapter, set four years after the events of last year’s Halloween Kills, Laurie is living with her granddaughter Allyson (Andi Matichak) and is finishing writing her memoir. Michael Myers hasn’t been seen since. Laurie, after allowing the specter of Michael to determine and drive her reality for decades, has decided to liberate herself from fear and rage and embrace life. But when a young man, Corey Cunningham (Rohan Campbell; The Hardy Boys, Virgin River), is accused of killing a boy he was babysitting, it ignites a cascade of violence and terror that will force Laurie to finally confront the evil she can’t control, once and for all.

Yeah yeah yeah. I hate it when Christmas tries to muscle in on my Hallo-MONTH. But this film looks like an absolute trip. Santa meets Die Hard? Sign me up. Synopsis!
To hell with “all is calm.” From 87North, the bare-knuckle producers of Nobody, John Wick, Atomic Blonde, Deadpool 2, Bullet Train and Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw comes a coal-dark holiday action-comedy that says you should always bet on red.
When a team of mercenaries breaks into a wealthy family compound on Christmas Eve, taking everyone inside hostage, the team isn’t prepared for a surprise combatant: Santa Claus (David Harbour, Black Widow, Stranger Things series) is on the grounds, and he’s about to show why this Nick is no saint.
Violent Night slides into theaters December 2nd, 2022.
Thank you so much for these helpful tips, dark-and-night!
What is this?: Documentary
Year Released: 2019
Where Can You Find This?: Shudder
Yes, this doc is over four hours long. I am aware of this commitment. Darkness is an absolutely excellent look at 80s horror, from a year – by – year breakdown of the films of the era, to deep dives into horror scores, Final Girls (and Horror Heroes), and so much more.
But the real fun is listening to the interviewees talk about the topic at hand. Legendary horror creators, performers, and fans (damn if Slipknot’s Corey Taylor doesn’t come up with some seriously “dude YES” moments for me. Dude, I wanna horror marathon with you for real.)
Darkness is a perfect “put this on in the background” party film. Not only will it start up tons of great debates/conversation topics, but folks can come and go, checking it out as they like. Any time you tune in, you’ll be entertained and informed. *chef’s kiss*
Happy October y’all! Synopsis!
From 20th Century Studios, New Regency, and acclaimed filmmaker David O. Russell comes “Amsterdam,” an original crime epic about three close friends who find themselves at the center of one of the most shocking secret plots in American history.

[I’m not even gonna put a quote in the quote part. Not one line in this film is worth it.]
Genre: Strange Homages To Classic TV
Release Date: 2022
Where I Watched: Netflix
Gist: Oh c’mon. You wouldn’t be reading this review if you didn’t know the Munsters. But you know the already settled family at 1313 Mockingbird Lane. How’d they get there? This film’ll show you.
Talky talk: I was stoked when I heard Rob Zombie was going to do a spin on The Munsters. But now I’m just disappointed. I appreciate his attempt, and it’s obvious by his attention to detail that he’s a huge fan of the original series, but this Munsters is weird in a bad way. Scenes feel stretched out for no reason except to pad the run time. Dialogue is clunky, and while the actors try their best, jokes don’t land, and are drawn out until any bit of humor is beaten out of them. (See: previous sentence.)
