Tim Burton Is Bringing New Life To “The Addams Family” With Live-Action Series!

They’re creepy and they’re kooky, “The Addams Family”! Earlier this year MGM brought back our favorite family with a new animated movie, but what fans really want is a new live-action revival and they just may be getting it! Deadline is reporting that Tim Burton (Yes, Burton!) is looking to bring a new live-action “Addams Family” series to fans. The site has reported that Burton is currently negotiating to executive produce and possibly direct all of the episodes of this new take on the franchise. Alfred Gough and Miles Millar (“Smallville”) have already signed on as writers and showrunners for the MGM TV project, which is searching for a place to call home.

What’s This? Nightmare Before Christmas Is Getting A New Movie?!

Back in 1993, just in time for Halloween, Tim Burton‘s classic The Nightmare Before Christmas opened in theaters and became a classic. Directed by Henry Selick, the stop-animation film featured Fright Night’s Chris Sarandon as the voice of Jack Skellington, the king of Halloween Town. During the movie Jack discovers Christmas Town and decides to put his spin on the holiday, only to fail and realize that he belongs in Halloween Town with Sally. Since the movie achieved cult status, Disney has re-released it several times and even created a ride based on the movie at Disney Land. It’s a bit of a surprise it hasn’t gotten a spin-off or sequel yet, but something is coming according to Moviehole. Moviehole has a credible source that is reporting that Disney is “doing something with Nightmare Before Christmas – probably a sequel but a live-action adaptation is very possible.” Disney has been on a mission to turn their classic animated features into

Vincent Price – The Voice, Face, and Icon of Horror

Years and years ago during one Halloween, my dad put on Michaels Jackson’s Thriller album. The end of the title track features a devilish laugh. I didn’t know who the laugh was performed by and I was too young to realize what the song was about, but I remember my older brother bursting into tears at the demonic cackle and run out of living room to find comfort in the safety of his bedroom. It is one of my favorite memories…especially because it didn’t only happen once (mom and dad thought it was hilarious). For those of you who haven’t heard the laugh, stop reading, go to this link and check it out. That voice belongs to the icon, the legend, Vincent Price. Price has been the face and voice of horror for decades and continues that legacy long after his death. Obviously this talented actor’s career spanned other genres, but he is the indisputable king of horror. Vincent Leonard
