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.
