Did you guys hear?! WINONA RYDER IS COMING BACK FOR BEETLEJUICE 2!

first off, I want to apologize for the delay since it's been almost two weeks since I wrote something on here. I've been working loads lately [many overnights being 'on call'] and recently lost my great grandfather at the age of 101! However, I'm here to talk about something even more exciting; a couple weeks back,I wrote about how Tim Burton is going to be directing a sequel to the cult classic [and one of my favorites]: Beetlejuice. [you can read this specific post here] As excited as I was, I got worried cause we didn't know at the time if [my] Winona Ryder would return, and we were told that Katy Perry would be up for the part of Lydia if asked. [obviously, I was not impressed..] As it turns out, Winona IS coming back, and I'm fucking ecstatic about this new update!

———————————————————————————–

This is great news for us Tim Burton fans because we can now say we have Tim [Burton] behind the camera, Michael [Keaton] returning as the ghost with the most, himself and Winona [Ryder] coming back as [my precious goth-teen] Lydia! Now all we need is a trailer and a plot and then I'm sold on this project, even if it is a sequel! 

———————————————————————————

So how do you feel about this [small but acceptable] update? Please tell me you didn't want Katy Perry filling the role of my dear sweet Lydia. [I feel like that would ruin the movie as a whole] Be sure to 'like' the fan page for Firework Eyes & Haunted Hearts on Facebook; which you can find here, or even follow me on Twitter.

DVD Boxset Of The Day; Beetlejuce [the animated series]

  

One of the reasons I started this blog was to mention things about horror movies/movies in general that I like [or that I'm excited for] & also to give information on things that geeks like myself would enjoy. Lately, I haven't done much but catch up on the movies I haven't watched yet [that I felt the need to finally see] / work / school. But this past Wednesday, After I finished my slideshow assignment for Philosophy class, I decided that I should check Facebook and I came across something beautiful.. Beetlejuice; The Animated Series is coming out as a box set on both DVD and Blu-ray! [FINALLY!]

 

 ———————————————————————————–

Being the Tim Burton fan that I am, I can honestly say I have been waiting for this for as long as I can remember.. which feels like forever! For those of you that aren't familiar with the series, it follows the life of goth teen Lydia Deetz [who- in the film version- was played by one of my first celebrity crushes: Winona Ryder!], who lives in the small suburb of Peaceful Pines, and her wisecracking supernatural friend Beetlejuice, who can only be summoned into the natural world [or sent back to his own otherworldly realm] by repeating his name 3 times..

 ———————————————————————————–

This Beetlejuice box set is being officially released on May 28 2013, and [unfortunately for me] will be available exclusively through Amazon. They are taking preorders now however.. I gotta say, I'm fucking stoked for this; because I'm a sucker for box sets of my childhood favorite shows [one such box set I have is the box set from the 1967 animated series of Spider-Man on DVD] So naturally, this one is going to have to be purchased as well- if I can get 'Goosebumps' & 'Are You Afraid Of The Dark?' as well I'm good to go. What are some of your favorite shows? [current/childhood favorites]  Let me know on the fan page for this blog on Facebook; which you can find here, in the comments below or on Twitter here . If you have a Tumblr, follow me here. [Have a suggestion for a new post? Send me ideas/links any where mentioned above;] CHEERS!

New trailer of the day: Frankenweenie

I'd like to apologize as I was going to post this yesterday, but I ended up getting got caught up trying to fix my Human Centipede2 Review [it really fell out of it's alignment somehow, and some of the font went weird..] Anyways! Speaking first and foremost as the Tim Burton fan I am, I already own the original version of Frankenweenie [as most other fans know, it was released on the special features of the re-release of Nightmare Before Christmas- which is technically how I own it] But for the past few years, we've been hearing about a Frankenweenie remake- rather than the original half an hour short. All we were told was that the newer version of the film would be stop-motion [So in the style of Nightmare Before Christmas and Corpse Bride] and that would be a full length film. Up until lately however, we have been completely denied anything more about the Frankenweenie remake except for a poster that has been released [I actually made a post about the poster which you can read about here] However, completely by accident, I found out that there was actually a trailer released yesterday which obviously I had to see. After watching the trailer, I noticed that Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter [who are two familiar faces in Tim Burton's movies] are actually not in this movie. [which kind of makes me sad as Johnny is my favorite actor.] Why Tim decided to not have them in this movie actually almost confuses me- as they are usually right there with him [Depp being Tim's children's Godfather and Bonham Carter as his fianceé] Lastly, I'd like to share that during this weekend [most likely] I will be posting more content than usual, as Stephanie [as stated before- my fianceé] will be visiting her parents out of town until Sunday evening, therefore I will be up late posting until roughly 1am, if not later. Below, you will find the trailer for Frankenweenie..

New movie poster of the day: Tim Burton's Frankenweenie

As mentioned before, I'm a pretty big Tim Burton Buff. Of all you will find on this blog, most of it will involve Tim Burton related topics, and other various things. When going onto http://horrorbid.com to look up everything horror related. I came across an article talking about Frankenweenie. I naturally had to click it, as the topic of this Tim Burton movie has been on the down low side of things lately. [I'm actually hoping a trailer will soon surface- as the poster looks really awesome.] So low and behold: the brand new poster for Tim Burton's Frankenweenie. [below]

Beautiful, isn't it? For those of you who don't know, this is actually a remake.. However, it's a remake of an original Tim made back in 1984. The original was a live action black and white film [while this one will remain in black and white, it'll be stop motion; much like Nightmare Before Christmas & Corpse Bride] and was only approximately 45 minutes long. None the less, a poster for the new and improved version of the film has been officially released. The story follows young Victor and his dog Sparky. [Assuming this version follows the original] It all begins when Victor and Sparky are playing fetch in the yard and the ball rolls onto the road, and Sparky chases after it.. Only to be hit by a car. Sad, Victor trudges on with life, hardly caring much for school, and pretty well anything. Victor's head only actually jumps for joy when in science class, he hears his teacher mention that electricity can make a dead frog's limbs move if applied in the right places. Victor then imagines if this could work for his now dead dog Sparky. And thus begins the idea of Frankenweenie. Being the Tim Burton fan I am, it's pretty safe to say I'll be going opening night. At least, I'm hoping to. I'm also hoping that this version of the film, stays pretty close to the original; cause I fell in love with the original since the first time I saw it.. [What I'm REALLY trying to say is: 'Don't let this be the same kind of remake as Nightmare On Elm Street was. The original 1985 Freddy is a million times better than 2010 Freddy, y'know?'- again, just my opinion.. feel free to argue this point, or any point I make for that matter.] I have my faith though, good old Tim Burton hasn't let me down yet..I just hope this isn't the one that breaks my heart.

New trailer of the day: Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

Whether or not you are aware that I'm a HUGE Tim Burton fan is irrelevant. [HINT: I own all his work on DVD, and that was no easy task] So naturally when I heard he was helping with the movie adaptation of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter; I had to look for a trailer. I searched and searched and found nothing. However, when browsing Youtube for no obvious reason earlier this week, I came across a little tidbit that felt like it was long overdue: I found the goddamned trailer! So when I checked Reddit, to see if my find was legit or not...Let's just say it had done more than put a grin on my face! So without further discussion I give you the official Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter trailer. [found below]

Obvious Overthinking.

Tim Burton- the one man who has made me into the dark twisted person I am today. I love his style, how dark and twisted it can be; especially his drawings. They are so much like my own [perhaps where I got the style?] Tim drawn all sorts of 'cast-out from society' type of characters which is what I do as well.. I guess of you really think about it, Tim grew up the same way I did: feeling alone [apart from family] without a large group of friends..but rather, 2 or 3 close friends. Maybe, now that I think about it, that's possibly why I took to dark fantasy, and horror as I grew older. To feel some sort of feeling of fear, a feeling I never truly understood. Hell, I still don't understand the feeling of fear. I mean I'm felt it, but maybe I'm not meant to understand the actual feeling. All I know is I constantly worry that my thoughts will become an entity that will eventually take over my entire being.. But maybe I am just over thinking everything; like usual. I need to stop over thinking.. It's a terrible habit, and I do it almost 5 times a day. [Below: Tim Burton]
