70 Year Old Nick Castle Returns as Mike Meyers
I am not sure what the majority of people thought about Rob Zombie’s ‘Halloween’ but I really enjoyed it (the sequel was…..ooh well). But I was surprised when rumors and then facts regarding yet another reboot came to fruition; however, I am gaining more and more interest in it based on the information we are getting. It will be based more on suspense and psychological fear than Zombie’s. And now we know that Nick Castle – the original Mike Meyers – will return to his role as a senior citizen. He is in his 70s and will be playing a Meyers who will be in his 60s. Castle has released a video of him walking on a treadmill…let’s just say that he does not walk like a 70 year old. He has quite they strut as he walks (donning his Mike Meyers mask) preparing to stalk his next victims. ‘Halloween’ is directed by David Gordon Green, written by Green and

Movie Review: House of Salem is a Demonic Dwelling Worth Visiting!
A young dude is put to bed by his smoke show of a babysitter and proceeds to have a series of nightmarish visions that resemble The Wicker Man if it was directed by Clive Barker…most likely because he ditches his meds before takin’ the one way express to nighty-night junction…or so it seems. Then some punks dressed as clowns kidnap the lad (who’s name is Josh), and so House of Salem begins proper. While the story begins with what seems like a simple kidnapping, things soon are revealed to be so much more, as our gang of big top hoodlums find they were duped into kidnapping young Josh by some sinister satanists who want to orchestrate a revoltin’ ritual involving that hoary ol’ chestnut; human sacrifice within the walls of the safe house (a home with a storied history of Satanic shenanigans). Before you know it, our hooligan heroes are up to their arses in hellish goings-on that they are

Stephen King Thinks He Knows Why “The Dark Tower” Failed
For all the success stories Stephen King properties had this year, “The Dark Tower” collapsed like a game of Jenga. While eventually grossing a little over $100 million on a $60 million budget, “Tower” was a critical disaster, hated by fans of the series, and a far cry from the building block to a new franchise that Columbia hoped it would be. King himself weighed in on what he thought brought the movie down; having penned the seven novels that make up the “Dark Tower” books series, there’s no man on Earth so qualified to say what went so wrong. In an interview with EW, he tentatively opened up. I liked everybody involved with that movie and I liked some of the casting choices for it. I liked Modi Wiczyk, the producer, the director, everybody. So you know I’m always careful what I say about it.But I will say this, okay? The real problem, as far as I’m concerned is,
