In fact, he recently said that “PG-13 is for pussies. Spines bleed… a lot.” ‘The Predator’ will be rater R ! And for that, we thank you Mr. Black.

Petition Circulating To Convince Studio To Cast Robert Englund As Dr. Loomis In New Halloween

Earlier this month John Carpenter revealed the director, writers, and release date for the upcoming ‘Halloween’ film. Since the announcement there has been a debate amongst genre fans about how should be cast in the role of Dr. Loomis. Fans already have a man in mind, Freddy Krueger actor Robert Englund. In fact, there is now a petition being shared in hopes of convincing the studio, director David Gordon Green, and co-writer Danny McBride to cast Englund as Michael Myers’ foe. This petition was created to allow fans of the Halloween series a direct say in a very salient part of the next film. In short, we think none other than the original Freddy Krueger himself, Robert Englund, would be the perfect person to play Dr. Samuel Loomis. He has the look, the age, and the of course, the acting skills, to play Michael Myers most dedicated foe. And if Loomis isn’t in plans for the future film, consider him

Cuddle up with your sweetheart, or pet, or your popcorn, and settle in for a love themed horror movie marathon. My Bloody Valentine (1981) My Bloody Valentine is the ultimate horror film set on Valentine’s Day. On V’Day the legend of a killer who targets those celebrating the holiday, comes to life.
