This pandemic won’t last forever, and when it’s over you’ll be sure as pumpkin spice and candy corn that there will be awesome Halloween parties again! So how can you stand out at these parties? Well maybe add some “WOW” to your costume with a mask from Mask Frenzy! I have to give a big shout-out to the cool folks at Mask Frenzy for making this review possible! What makes their masks unique if you have not already guessed is the use of El Cold Light technology (an LED light that looks like neon light strips), which highlights features of the mask and makes them pop! The masks I got are the Jason Voorhees and the Purge (in red). I’m sure the origins of the masks need no introduction but for the sake of decency here’s a quick refresher. The famed hockey mask belongs to the behemoth machete-wielding killer Jason from the “Friday the 13th” films after he ditched the

‘The Purge: Election Year‘ has just arrived on VOD and will be out on DVD on October 4th. We may soon see more of ‘The Purge’ in a different media. News has now come that the franchise will soon be adapted for a television series. There’s more good news, the franchise’s creator, writer and director, James DeMonaco, will be along for the ride. In an interview with CinemaBlend, DeMonaco explained the new series. Yes! Not an anthology…I guess kind of an anthology – more of an interwoven anthology. They came to me about a TV show, my idea is that you do six or seven storylines. And I wold intercut them, use flashbacks.” DeMonaco continued on to elaborate on his ideas for the series. The idea of why I like the idea of a maybe 10 hour TV thing on this, the one thing you really can’t do on the films is, just because of mere real estate and time,

Ever so often a horror movie takes the blame when a real-life crime is committed. This time The Purge is being blamed for a series murders by the hands of 19-year-old Johnathan Cruz. Cruz randomly killed three people between May 12th to 15th in Indiana. Cruz has been arrested and charged with seventeen counts, including first-degree murder. The reference to The Purge stems from a text message found on Cruz’s cell phone by police. One of the messages stated “I Purge every night now..since Im dieing someone else has to.” Reportedly a witness that knows Cruz told police that he had told her about his attacks and that he had mentioned “purging”.
