Halloween: The COMPLETE Collection Set.

in hindsight, this would have made more sense to be posted on Friday - but I was working.

 It's no surprise that horror fans everywhere enjoy collecting films: I mean, I have over 200 DVDs, [granted, they're not all horror] and they're my babies. But like any collector, it's bound to continue to grow - it's an inevitable curse. To add to the collection, I plan on [y'know.. eventually..] getting  new box-set; and that box-set is Halloween: The Complete Collection. [which was released this past Friday the 13th] 

just look at that soul-less face; oh wait, that's a mask.

I've never been a huge fan of Michael Myers [I'm more of a Freddy guy truthfully], but I have seen a few of the Halloween films [favorite one being 'Halloween III: Season Of The Witch' of course!] including the remakes by Rob Zombie. [unpopular opinion warning: I actually somewhat, but not really enjoyed them!] The only complaint I have with this box-set is that it's yet another reason I need a Blu-Ray player [it's not coming in DVD format] to get it: I guess I'll have to get one soon..

I forgot how fucked up 'Season Of The Witch' was..

This Halloween set will include 15 Blu-Ray discs, which include all the films: Halloween, Halloween II, Halloween III: Season Of The Witch, Halloween 4: The Return Of Michael Myers, Halloween 5: The Revenge Of Michael Myers, Halloween 6: The Curse Of Michael Myers, Halloween: H20, Halloween: Resurrection and even Rob Zombie's Halloween and Halloween II ! if that wasn't enough to keep you satisfied,  the box-set also includes the never before released producers cut of Halloween: The Curse Of Michael Myers as well as the ultra-rare network television versions of the original Halloween  and Halloween II . With hours of brand new bonus features - including new interviews with cast and crew from the entire franchise, how could you not want this? FINALLY, [I know, it comes with a lot!] it also comes with a limited edition 40-page book written by Michael Gingold, who writes for Fangoria.  The packaging alone will include a newly commissioned illustration on the outer case and each film will be in its own black Blu-ray case with the original theatrical release.

isn't it beautiful?

Now, I know you're asking yourself; how much money is this thing? it only has a ton of features, and it has all the films: well, wait no longer because Halloween: The Complete Collection is going to run you a grand total of - $169.99 !!

be sure to tell your friends and family!

 I know, it kind of hurts to see that price [hell, it caused me pain just to type it!] but if you consider everything it comes with, it's well worth it's price. Only downside on my part is needing a Blu-Ray player and the set. fuck. Below, I have included the box-set [from above] if it was opened, showing all the discs and the cover of the booklet; be sure to purchase Halloween: The Complete Collection when it's released on September 23rd, 2014 ! [mark it down on your calendars!]

ugh, it's so damn perfect..[I sense a marathon coming!]

Hey guys! It's finally happening! We're actually getting a TRICK 'R TREAT 2!

 

Of all the Halloween movies that have been released; both good and bad, only one truly stands out to me as a favorite: Trick 'r Treat ! It's a cult classics for many reasons; mainly because so many people didn't know about it after being a straight to video film. This didn't stop it from becoming a classic almost immediately! However, that was 4 years ago; and fans were waiting to hear what's next for Sam. Well, it has been confirmed that we're finally getting a sequel to one of the best Halloween Anthologies out there! [writer's note: this is just a personal preference] Although this sequel is said to be in it's very early stages, Trick 'r Treat's writer/director Michael Dougherty announced it at his special fan screening this past Monday [in Hollywood's Egyptian Theater] that a sequel to his cult following Halloween anthology is on it's way! I find that this is super awesome because I feel that the original is so underrated. [I mean, it WAS a straight to DVD release..] When asked about making another Trick 'r Treat film, Dougherty had the following to say;

"It’s funny because when I first dreamt up the idea of making the first film, I thought, “How neat would it be if we made them a series? I’m a firm believer that October should be filled with Halloween movies, or horror movies."

———————————————————————————–

Hopefully we get more information on this soon, cause according to Dougherty, there isn't even a script written yet [but if it's anything like the first film, I have my bets that it'll be great!] The original Trick 'r Treat, which came out in 2009, featured four [very cleverly] interwoven stories that occur on Halloween night. These stories include; an everyday high school principal who has a secret life as a serial killer; a college virgin might have just met the one special guy for her; a group of teenagers who pull a mean prank, which goes too far and a woman who loathes Halloween night has to contend with her holiday-obsessed husband.

———————————————————————————–

  As I said, I think this is fantastic, because I [along with many fans] have been curious to know what could be done with Sam for future films, and now we get to find out! How do you feel about it? If you haven't seen it; I would most certainly recommend the film!

Something Wicked This Way Comes!

Halloween. It's easily my favorite time of year. Some of my reasons for this are the horror movies littered all over TV, the candy [who DOESN'T like free junk food?!], the changing colors of the leaves and [most importantly] the costumes. It wasn't until the other day that I realized that I could be working on Halloween and that makes me sad [gotta make sacrifices though, right?] since I know I may not be able to do my annual horror movie marathon.. [usually consisting of 'Hatchet', 'Nightmare On Elm Street', and of course; 'Halloween'] So to ease my pain a little bit, I decided to go to Spirit Halloween. I had forgotten how much I love this store. From creepy dolls, to the most obscure of costumes [I mean a twerking Miley Cyrus costume?! Ugh..]. This got me thinking.. assuming I work, what kind of costumes would I personally like?? So in this post, I'm going to share some of the cooler costumes I've found at Spirit and no- Miley is not included.

———————————————————————————–

 

Blackest Night Batman [Zombie Batman]

how could you not wanna be a zombified Batman? It combines two of the best things: zombies & Batman. This exclusive costume is from the Blackest Night series, which also included The Green Lantern, but you knew that. [the costume itself is only $49.99, but hey- it is pretty hardcore looking!]

———————————————————————————–

 

 

Big Top Terror 
If there's one thing I don't like in this world, it's clowns.. they've never been a big favorite of  mine, and before you ask, the answer is no.. Stephen King's It did not help. So naturally, being a fan of scary things/movies, I had to incorporate this guy.. In the mood to give me nightmares for life? This creep is only $29.99, but only available online [order this costume here]

———————————————————————————–

 

Eye Scream Appliance Kit

Although technically not a costume, this eye kit is pretty graphic in it's own right. The only thing I think of when I see this piece is this . For those who don't know, that picture is from Hostel. [and you can read my review on the film here] This eye piece is selling for $9.99; however is only available online [order it here]

So what are you going to be for Halloween? and please don't say a twerking Miley Cyrus [that's scarier than the damned clown!] Let me know in a comment !

New Movie Review: Trick 'r Treat [2007]

Trick 'r Treat is one of my all time favorite horror movies. For a movie that was hardly known around the horror community, I bought this movie on a whim. I really didn’t know what it was, who the little bagged creature on the cover was or what to expect when I finally watch it. I watched it with Stephanie as soon as I got home, and I gotta say..easily the best movie to watch on October 31. Everything about the movie makes it a joy to watch, especially on Halloween:

———————————————————————————–

[Spoiler Alert: If you haven’t seen the movie DON’T scroll down.]

———————————————————————————–
Everything from the werewolf sisters, SAM [who is the 'bagged creature' on the front of the DVD], The Jack-O-Lantern story with Rhonda, a murderous school principle & especially, who could forget the victims on the school bus who were killed all because of their selfish parents? and everything in between… It’s one of my all time favorite stories & I could watch it at anytime, and still find something new..
———————————————————————————–

[Did I mention Anna Paquin is in the movie??]

———————————————————————————–

I love the idea of 4 or 5 stories being intertwined into one larger story [if you look carefully enough, each of the other characters show up in other stories.] It also kind of offends me to know this movie was a straight to DVD release. It was so well done, that I feel that it should have had a theatrical release [perhaps on Halloween?] Sadly, it's from 2007- s0 I doubt it will be released in theaters in 2012. [*overwhelming sadness ensues*] I love this movie.. hands down, it is one of the more fantastic horror movies to come out for us horror fans, and for those who love the genre, I fully recommend it. ♥ Below you will find a GIF from the movie, and yes.. it’s none other than SAM, which had to be done.. cause he's so goddamn cute!

———————————————————————————–

Here's a clip from the movie, showing Anna Paquin and her werewolf friends- playing 'hard to get'

[I'd like to apologize, after re-reading this post on the actual blog; Youtube wouldn't let me embed the video..just click on the link to Youtube to see it.. a new version of this video will be updated here soon, so you can actually watch it on the blog.]
