Back in 2022 the final film, Halloween Ends, of David Gordon Green’s Halloween trilogy was unleashed along with the statement that it would be the final Michael Myers movie, but that may not be true after all. Miramax is now shopping the franchise, according to Bloody Disgusting. The rights to the franchise are up for sale and it has triggered a bidding war between multiple production companies who want to resurrect the franchise for either a new movie or a new TV series. A TV series based on your favorite horror movies is not unheard of, with franchises such as Scream, The Exorcist, and Friday the 13th coming to the small screen. The likelihood of franchise star and scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis returning for a new installment is next to zero. She made it clear that Halloween Ends would be the end for her. But who knows, the right project might be enough to change her mind. Now, it’s

Today, Apple TV+ announced the new four-part documentary series “The Enfield Poltergeist,” which tells the riveting story of the most famous poltergeist haunting in history. Combining more than 250 hours of rare audio archive, meticulous recreation of the setting of the haunting and original interviews with the people impacted by the case, the series is an ambitious genre-bending story that explores the human fascination with the unexplained and its impact on those who live it. In 1977, the terrifying haunting of an everyday family in Enfield, London, dominated headlines across the United Kingdom and had a tremendous impact on an entire generation of children. The mysterious case forever changed ideas about the supernatural and that it wasn’t just restricted to castles and stately homes but could be experienced by anyone, anywhere. The chilling story has inspired fictionalized versions of the case, including the film The Conjuring 2, a television series and two stage plays. Over the four episodes, the events

There is a new supernatural horror film that is about to debut and it should definitely be on your radar: Deliver Us. I happened to have had the pleasure of talking with the directors behind the film that can best described as unique and stunning, two words I rarely get to use when it comes to horror films. In the film, “when a nun in a remote convent claims immaculate conception, the Vatican sends a team of priests to investigate. Concerns grow that an ancient prophecy is about to be fulfilled: that a woman will give birth to twin boys – one the Messiah, the other the Anti-Christ – and the ensuing battle will determine the world’s fate.” Lee Roy Kunz, who directs alongside Cru Ennis, not only penned the script (along with his brother Kane), but also stars as the film’s male lead, a troubled young priest. Kuz and Ellis also produced the film under their World’s Fair Pictures

It’s officially Halloween season, and Spirit Halloween is celebrating with their brand new Spirit Halloween Monopoly board game which is available now. This no regular, boring game of Monopoly, no. It’s based on the store that is as iconic to the holiday as ghosts and ghouls. In the box, featuring the company’s logo, you will find player pieces, that I’m guessing are made of pewter. They are in the form of a spider, a cat, a coffin, a pumpkin, and the Spirit Halloween spirit. Like the standard game, you will find cash ($10 to $500). There are also buildings, and “Trick” cards that let you buy things like costumes, but beware, there are Trick cards that put the trick in trick ‘r treat. These cars can make you do things like go back spaces. There are also Treat cards that feature cool surprises. The board and pieces really give you the sense that you are in the store. The board
