I gave Halloween Ends another watch and it changed my opinion slightly on the second viewing. I don't dislike it as much as everyone else does but I'm still mixed on it. Halloween Kills created so much momentum. That ending, Michael was built up as being as close to immortal as anyone could be. You also had the death of Laurie's daughter. Halloween Ends capitalised on absolutely none of it. You don't build up Michael like that only to for him to get his ass kicked in almost every scene hes in. Corey, who was being bullied by the school band members, even managed to take him down. Come on. Its not even just the momentum of Kills, its literally 40 plus years of build up for this character thats almost pissed away.
The story was weird to say the least. It just doesn't work as a 'final part' or even a Halloween movie for that matter. You don't have Michael be the background character to his own movie. I'll give them credit for trying something new but theres a time and a place and this wasn't it.
I really really liked the ending though. Its like all the frustrations of every slasher movie viewer were answered. It was incredibly satisfying to see the killer finally dead. No eyes opening or predictable jump scare before going to credits. Actually dead. Not coming back whatsoever. On the other hand though, because of that I also wouldn't want to see another Halloween reboot. I'm not sure I'd be able to take it seriously knowing that I saw his body get shredded. I don't get uncomfortable during movies but the wrist slitting made me cringe too.

Victor Miller and fans who hate Jason like Tom Savini, seem to be the only winners in the Friday the 13th legal battle. Miller gets the domestic rights to the title "Friday the 13th", the rights to Pamela, Jason name and the character as a boy, and Camp Crystal Lake. Sean Cunningham gets international rights to the title "Friday the 13th", a Hockey Mask Wearing-Machete Carrying-Killer that can not use the name Jason.
The new TV series will focus on events before the first Friday the 13th. If Jason ever shows up in the TV series, it can only be the child version.

I believe Brad Fuller (the producer of the new show) said that nothing is off limits to them.

I'll believe the "everything" when I see it.

Anyone ever see Rubber? It's about a tire that kills people with telekinetic powers?

Jim Winburn passed away recently. He was a super nice guy when I met him 15 years or so ago but from everyone I know that ever met him he was always nice to fans. Complete opposite of Tony Moran. I know I posted this already but Breckin Meyer was added. I didn't ask but he added his character name, which is really cool. I requested Alice Cooper to add his character name but he didn't do it and he didn't put his full quote. So now Alice Cooper is going to be the only one that doesn't have his character name. I really hope to add Rachel Talalay but I never see her do signings. Tom Arnold will probably be the next one added at Days of the Dead in Atlanta in January. Ricky Dean Logan and Lezlie Deane seem to do appearances every now again so if I get a heads up I'll add them. The poster: Breckin signing:

X and Pearl would make my top 10 for favorite movies of 2022 but other than that I can't think of any horror movies from last year that I really liked. I was already burned out on Art the Clown by the time I watched Terrifier 2. Halloween Ends wasn't good. I thought Smile was ok. I didn't watch Scream but I never liked that series so I had no interest in it.

Justin Long plays one of the all time great Aholes.

Just found out Dick Warlock is doing an appearance in August in Chicago and I must go. Halloween II is my favorite in the series and he’s my favorite Michael. Plus I have so much love for Halloween 3.
