The picture (a punked-out Frankenstein’s monster with spiked hair) was not intended as album art; it was just a gift and an excuse to meet The Cramps, a psychobilly band that formed in the ’70s. For years, Blickenstaff primarily did pen-and-ink or colored pencil drawings, but a few years ago, he switched to acrylic paints, because he could work faster that way, and because drawing is “more like a chore,” he said. Painting is swift and easy, and he seldom draws a design on his canvas before beginning a piece; he just lets the brush, and his imagination, go. Given his obsession with the dark and eerie, it should come as no surprise that the artist also plays a theremin, the chilling instrument sometimes heard in old horror movies. More Halloween News

I was excited and nervous at the same time with the idea of having Rob Zombie directing a Halloween movie. I thought will it be good, bad, live up to the original Halloween, or be even better? Being a fan and having seen all of the previous movies there was plenty to compare to. It gave me more insight to Michael Myers childhood than the original and why he went psycho. Has for the other characters Scout Taylor Compton was great as Laurie Strode she’s no Jamie lee Curtis but her part was pretty equal to Curtis but not better. Loomis, he filled the part nicely and felt it was also equal to Donald Pleasence who played Dr. More Halloween News

I think that establishing the existence of the younger sister in the beginning of the film bypasses that one WTF moment that occurs in the original when we discover that Laurie Strode is actually Laurie Myers and that the Myers parents died in a car crash. Additionally, by spending so much time with Michael and his family at the beginning of the film, the audience forms a bond with Michael that humanizes him to the point that he becomes the protagonist, the one we are rooting for, so to speak. The bond he establishes with the baby, whom he calls boo, is one that pulls the so-called heart strings, and makes the deleted ending so much more sympathetic, and in my opinion, appropriate to the overall tone of the piece. However, much of that commentary is devoted to discussing the more technical aspects of the film making rather than focusing on the story and the branches he chose to explore above and beyond the source material.

Ever since the announcement that Rob Zombie would be re-imagining John Carpenter’s slasher classic Halloween , critics and horror fans alike have been picking sides, alternately at arms over what they saw as a modern travesty and supportive of Zombie’s ability to recreate and update the thrills of what many consider the original slasher flick (though Black Christmas - recently reworked for 2006’s Black Xmas - appeared in Canada over four years earlier than the original Halloween ). In fact, for the first hour of the film, as Zombie’s Myers unfolds before a bewildered audience, it starts to feel as if Zombie may have done the unthinkable and successfully created a back story that both evokes the original and adds new haunting layers to it. As anyone who saw The Devil’s Rejects knows, Zombie is somewhat of a master at the disturbing, the subversive, and the grotesque, but when it comes to writing dialogue for suburban families and teenie bopper girlfriends, Zombie is out of his element, and his film suffers for it. Perhaps the leap from House of 1000 Corpses to The Devil’s Rejects was so vast that audiences should have expected a bit of levelling out with his newest film, but here’s hoping he’ll continue to push the envelope that he opened with his impressively unique and startlingly dark foray into the world of film.

The family kept the right to continue operating the farm stand until the end of the year and retained the house and about an acre along Route 2. But the town also owns a portion of the land, which has a conservation restriction and continues to be used for agriculture, Wheeler said. The school has filed a notice of intent with the town that states its plans to use the land for recreational fields, educational programs, and possibly faculty housing. Margaret Briggs, chairwoman of the Board of Selectmen, said the town hopes to work with the school as the planning moves forward. Greenberg said there were several factors that contributed to the business’s demise, starting with the fire in the greenhouses. Jeff Cole, executive director of the Federation of Massachusetts Farmers Markets, said it is not unusual to see a farm go out of business given the risky nature of the industry. More Halloween News

Santa, you probably know that, according to research by the Massachusetts General Hospital Center for Mental Health and Media, M-Rated (for ages 17 and older) video games are the most popular games among young teens. Because I really can’t wait to play it, and be Daniel Lamb, the escaped inmate from the neighborhood asylum, as he goes crazy on a homicidal rampage. In the first “Manhunt” game, you could take a plastic bag and suffocate your victim as you watched them struggle to breathe and ultimately die. I hear in “Manhunt 2″ you get to rip out a skull with a sickle, and beat a guy’s head in with a fire extinguisher. More Halloween News

Massage a dab of oil onto the tangled area, then use a straight pin to carefully pull apart the knot. Slide a length of dental floss under the corner of a photo that’s stuck to an album page or another snapshot. Pour water into a plastic 35-millimeter-film canister until it is one-third full, drop in a tablet, replace the lid, and quickly place the canister upside down on the ground. In 5 to 10 seconds, the gas pressure will make the canister pop its lid and shoot several feet into the air. Use a swab dipped in alcohol to clean the battery contacts of a cordless phone, cell phone, or laptop. More Halloween News

None of us wanted it - not when the original holds up so darn well but thankfully rocker turned filmmaker Zombie (”House of 1000 Corpses”, “The Devil’s Rejects”) didn’t just ‘Van Sant’ John Carpenter’s classic slasher film - he extended it, deepened it, shook it up. You see, part 1 of the film is a prequel - the back-story we were never shown in the original, or any of the umpteen sequels, strangely enough - of movie icon Myer’s pre-asylum years. We watch as the blonde haired-moppet goes from slaughtering rats in his bedroom to ultimately taking out the whole family sans baby Laurie and his mother (Sheri Moon Zombie and earning himself a spot in the local mental hospital, under the watchful eye of local psychologist, Dr Samuel Loomis (Malcolm McDowell). The second half of the film which kicks in once the now grown-up Myers escapes the slammer - is the original film revisited/redone/reworked. Its almost as if it were forced onto the filmmaker by the studio keen to include at least an hour of what we know as ‘Halloween’ because it seems very much tacked-on and redundant. Whilst some filmmakers simply sit there and explain to the audience what’s ‘on the screen’ (we’ve seen the movie! More Halloween News
