Presented by Lisa Frankenstein, 1989 Week is dialing the clock back to the crossroads year for the genre with a full week of features that dig six feet under into the year. Today, Jenn Adams weighs in on the dreamiest and scariest boyfriends the genre has to offer.
We’ve all dated our fair share of bad boys. They win us over with their dreamy aloofness, then just when we’ve let our guard down, they turn out to be monsters in disguise. Horror has a long history of these roguish young lovers, some so bad they commit cold-blooded murder. But they’re not all monsters.
Every once in a while, a cinematic boyfriend manages to be attractive, kind, and non-murderous, all while supporting his girlfriend as she runs away from the film’s true villain. Rospo Pallenberg presents us with two appealing boyfriends in the 1989 slasher Cutting Class. Brian (Donovan Leitch Jr....

February––particularly its third week––is all about romance. Accordingly the Criterion Channel got creative with their monthly programming and, in a few weeks, will debut Interdimensional Romance, a series of films wherein “passion conquers time and space, age and memory, and even death and the afterlife.” For every title you might’ve guessed there’s a wilder companion: Alan Rudolph’s Made In Heaven, Soderbergh’s remake, and Resnais’ Love Unto Death. Mostly I’m excited to revisit Francis Ford Coppola’s Youth Without Youth, a likely essential viewing before Megalopolis.
February also marks Black History Month, and Criterion’s series will include work by Shirley Clarke (also subject of a standalone series), Garrett Bradley, Cheryl Dunye, and Julie Dash, while movies by Sirk, Minnelli, King Vidor, and Lang play in “Gothic Noir.” Greta Gerwig gets an “Adventures in Moviegoing” and can be seen in Mary Bronstein’s Yeast,...

It's hard to picture anybody but the iconic Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode in John Carpenter's "Halloween," but she wasn't a shoe-in for the role by any means. Carpenter thought she had the right stuff on her first audition, but you must remember that at the time she was just another unproven actress in a town overflowing with unproven actresses, albeit not all of them had superstar parents like Jamie Lee.
Laurie Strode put Jamie Lee Curtis on the map, no question about it, but there was some competition for the role, and the fun part is we have to play a little guessing game to figure out who that competition was.
On the "Halloween" commentary with Carpenter and Curtis, they bring up the actress who was Jamie Lee's main competition ... but they can't remember her name!

David Gordon Green's 2022 slasher film "Halloween Ends" is an unusual entry in the series in many ways. In it, the vicious masked serial killer Michael Myers (James Jude Courtney) has been living in a sewer and stays out of the film's central action for the bulk of its running time. "Ends," instead, focuses largely on a character named Corey Cunningham (Rohan Campbell), a man who, two years ago, accidentally killed the young boy he was babysitting. Green envisioned Corey's hometown town of Haddonfield, Illinois as a bitter and wounded place, full of spiteful, hurt people who cannot heal from the murderous damage that Michael caused way back in 1978, as well as his return in 2018. Every citizen is bitter, angry, and paranoid. Corey is bullied and picked on, unable to outlive his mistake.
When Corey wanders into Michael's sewer (he was fleeing bullies), he finds Michael and a strange transference occurs.

Two years ago it was announced that Stephen King‘s killer car Christine would be coming back to life with Bryan Fuller (“Hannibal”) directing the new take for Blumhouse& Sony. Of course, original director John Carpenter has thoughts on this, revealed today in an interview with Total Film.
Christine is one of three Stephen King adaptations turning 40 in 2023, and Total Film spoke with Carpenter and original star Keith Gordon about the film’s momentous anniversary in their latest issue.
“I know there’s some rumblings about its anniversary. My question is ‘why’?” Carpenter cracked when speaking with the publication.
Total Film asked his thoughts about Fuller’s pending remake, and his answer was surprising: “Oh boy,” Carpenter says. “Well, good luck to him. It will probably be better.”
Carpenter wasn’t the only one who offered encouragement.
“I think he’s really talented, and a good person to do it,...

Just as the titular 1958 Plymouth Fury took on a life of its own, so too will the upcoming remake of Christine. But that’s just fine by director John Carpenter, who is casually optimistic about the project – at least compared to his own experiences making the original.
When the topic of the Christine remake was brought up during an interview with Total Film, Carpenter said, “Oh boy…Well, good luck to him. It will probably be better.” Carpenter has never exactly been enthusiastic about the 1983 movie, having always considered Christine more of a for-hire flick since he was on the rebound from The Thing. “I needed a job, frankly…The Thing was my very first studio film. I was just diving in the pool here, and all of a sudden, Wham. And getting fired off a movie is not the most pleasant thing,” he added, referring to another Stephen King adaptation he was tied to,...

The Ultimate Time Capsule.
We closed out August with a look at the horror elements in the non-horror film Shiva Baby, the trans empowerment of Sleepaway Camp 2: Unhappy Campers, and Park Chan-wook’s English-language debut Stoker. Now, our first episode of September kicks off a month themed after one of Joe’s favorite sub-genres: the erotic thriller!
First up is Brian De Palma‘s controversial masterpiece Dressed to Kill.
Dressed to Kill sees high-priced sex worker Liz Blake (Nancy Allen) witness a mysterious woman brutally slay homemaker Kate Miller (Angie Dickinson). The police think Liz is the murderer and the real killer wants to silence the crime’s only witness, putting Liz in a tough situation. Only Kate’s inventor son, Peter (Keith Gordon), believes Liz. Peter and Liz team up to find the real culprit, who has an unexpected means of hiding her identity and an even more surprising motivation to kill.

This episode of the Horror TV Shows We Miss video series was Written and Narrated by Niki Minter, Edited by Adam Walton, Produced by John Fallon, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.
The Chiller Channel was a huge gateway for me. I had been exposed to whatever my mom watched previous to that, or whatever weird shit I found at 2Am… it’s more than you think. Chiller brought me the things I missed out on when they originally aired. One of those is Night Visions.
Night Visions originally aired in 2001, though it was meant to air the year prior, but one of our previous series, Freakylinks took its place. I’m not upset about this– Freakylinks was the series we deserved. Then on July 6th, 2001, brooding punk poet and man of many black tees, Henry Rollins entered our homes through the small screen. He’d probably give me shit for using the word brooding.

U.S. actor Robin Wright will be awarded the President’s Award at the 57th Karlovy Vary Film Festival’s closing ceremony. In honor of Wright, it will screen “The Princess Bride.”

In a world that often celebrates the conventional and the mainstream, there’s something to be said for those who don’t quite fit in. Those of us who feel like outsiders can find solace in the weirder corners of pop culture, where the misfits and rejects are given a chance to shine. And when it comes to horror movies, there’s a whole slew of films where the weirdo reigns supremed. Here are 10 horror movies for outcasts and rebels – for all the weirdos who want something a little different from their scares.
1. The Craft (1996)
This teen horror classic is all about the power of outsiders. When new girl Sarah (Robin Tunney) joins a Catholic high school in Los Angeles, she falls in with a trio of misfit girls who practice witchcraft. As they explore their newfound abilities, they begin to attract attention from other students, and soon things spiral out of control.

2023 marks the 45th anniversary of the release of Jaws 2 (watch it Here), the most well-regarded of the Jaws sequels. So it seems quite appropriate that a cool Jaws 2 discovery had been made this year: The Daily Jaws has found a long-lost scene from the film, and the only known footage of this scene comes from a Brazilian VHS! This leads me to believe that the scene was probably always included in the Brazilian home video release of Jaws 2, but that’s not completely clear from the report on The Daily Jaws.
What we do know is that Jaws 2 begins with a pair of divers being attacked by a shark while checking out the sunken wreckage of the Orca boat from the first movie. Later in the film, Deputy Hendricks (Jeffrey Kramer) is shown to have retrieved the underwater camera that was dropped by the divers. In this lost footage,...

When Robert De Niro came out swinging, rhetorically, at Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump in 2016, it was the most stirring and surprising performance he'd given in years. "He's so blatantly stupid," he said in a campaign ad. "He's a punk. He's a dog. He's a pig. A con. A bulls**t artist. A mutt who doesn't know what he's talking about." Then he lowered the boom: "I'd like to punch him in the face."
Though the actor had long been on the record as a Democrat, he'd never been this emphatic about a political position in his public life. In fact, he'd never been emphatic about much of anything. Anyone who'd watched the actor squirm his way through an interview knew full well that the man wasn't much of a talker. When he did speak, he tended to be soft-spoken. He seemed almost embarrassed to be holding forth on any subject,...

If you were packaging a film in 2004, you couldn't have rounded up a colder trio of artists than Shane Black, Val Kilmer, and Robert Downey Jr. Black had been struggling to reinvent himself as a writer after gaining notoriety as one of Hollywood's spec script kings; as a result, he hadn't sold a screenplay since 1996's "The Long Kiss Goodnight" (which New Line purchased for a then-record 4 million). Val Kilmer was the whole damn package: a movie star with method acting chops. There was a moment when he was compared to the revered likes of Marlon Brando and Montgomery Clift. Then came the flops and tales of rotten on-set behavior. Despite terrific performances in James Cox's "Wonderland" and David Mamet's "Spartan," Kilmer's public wasn't showing up.

Spoiler Alert: This story discusses major plot points from “Halloween Ends,” which is now playing in theaters and available to stream on Peacock.
Billed as the finale to a landmark horror franchise, “Halloween Ends” was marketed with little more than the promise of a final match-up between remorseless serial killer Michael Myers and his lifelong victim Laurie Strode, played again by Jamie Lee Curtis. But many viewers were shocked to discover much more than a marquee showdown when director David Gordon Green’s horror film released last weekend. There’s also young love, a bunch of laughs and a fresh threat facing the town of Haddonfield — all courtesy of Corey Cunningham, a new character played by Rohan Campbell.

Billed as the finale to a landmark horror franchise, “Halloween Ends” was marketed with little more than the promise of a final match-up between remorseless serial killer Michael Myers and his lifelong victim Laurie Strode, played again by Jamie Lee Curtis. But many viewers were shocked to discover much more than a marquee showdown when director David Gordon Green’s horror film released last weekend. There’s also young love, a bunch of laughs and a fresh threat facing the town of Haddonfield — all courtesy of Corey Cunningham, a new character played by Rohan Campbell.

The Boogieman and Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) are back to face off one final time in director David Gordon Green’s last installment in the horror film franchise, Halloween Ends.
Halloween Ends begins in Haddonfield in 2019 with a teenager named Corey (Rohan Campbell) showing up on Halloween night to babysit a young boy. The kid suffers from horrible nightmares about Michael Myers’ killing spree the previous year and the serial killer’s subsequent disappearance. Once the parents are gone, however, the boy (Jaxon Goldberg) becomes an absolute brat toward Corey and plays a mean prank on him that goes horribly wrong.
Jump ahead four years and Laurie has moved into a nice house, has better hair, and is living with her granddaughter, Allyson (Andi Matichak). She’s also working on her...

David Gordon Green's "Halloween" -- not to be confused with "Halloween," "Halloween," or Halloween -- separated itself from all of the previous "Halloween" sequels, rebooting the franchise with only the 1978 film retained as canon. This ignore-the-sequels gambit had, incidentally, also been played by "Halloween H20: Twenty Years Later" in 1998, which ignored the events of "Halloween III: Season of the Witch," "Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers," "Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers," and "Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers." David Gordon Green's 2018 version of "Halloween" was, essentially, a new crack at "Halloween II." The 2021 film "Halloween Kills" was a sequel to the 2018 film, making "Halloween" the very first "Halloween II" to get its very own "Halloween II." Coming on October 14, 2022, is "Halloween Ends," the thirteenth film in the franchise.

“Halloween Kills” was a critical misfire, but it still managed a healthy $49 million opening at the box office. The film has since grossed $89 million in the U.S., not terrible considering the pandemic and Universal’s decision to stream the horror tentpole on Peacock starting the same day it hit theaters. Next year brings “Halloween Ends,” the final chapter in David Gordon Green’s trilogy. The filmmaker recently teased the project in an appearance on the “Empire Spoiler Special Podcast.” If “Halloween Kills” opened the scope of the franchise to include the whole town of Haddonfield, then expect “Halloween Ends” to be “a much more intimate movie.”
“There’s not a lot of games in it, there’s not a lot of wittiness and retro joy,” Green said. “It’s kind of a coming-of-age film, and it’s a very different tone. And that’s what excited me about it,...

The Notebook Primer introduces readers to some of the most important figures, films, genres, and movements in film history.The Fog“I always try to partially copy movies and partially copy reality.”—John Carpenter to Gilles Boulanger, late 1990sJohn Carpenter began his filmmaking career on the Oscar-winning crew of 1970’s Best Live-Action Short Subject, The Resurrection of Broncho Billy, and from there went on to revitalize the horror and sci-fi genres, particularly in his prolific and visionary films of the late 70s and early 80s. Those films—including Halloween (1978), The Thing (1982) and Escape from New York (1981)—are landmarks of American genre film, but Carpenter is first and foremost a master stylist who studied under Arthur Knight at USC, getting his cinematic education from lecturers like Orson Welles (“such a storyteller”) and his biggest influence, Howard Hawks (“you could see he was a tough guy”). As the man himself said in...

Stephen King is such a good writer that even novels that have already been brought to the silver screen are getting re-adapted. The latest remake of a King story will be Christine.

A new version of Stephen King’s “Christine” is coming to the screen and in development with Bryan Fuller set to direct the film at Sony Pictures and for Blumhouse Productions.
“Christine” was first adapted into a cult horror film by horror master John Carpenter in 1983 about a teen who buys a classic 1958 Plymouth Fury and fixes it up, only to discover that it seems to have a mind of its own , a jealous, possessive personality toward its new owner and a vindictive, murderous past.
Fuller, who is a writer on “Star Trek: Discovery,” “Pushing Daisies,” “American Gods,” “Hannibal” and more, is both writing and directing the new take on “Christine.” Jason Blum is producing for Blumhouse, and Vincenzo Natali and Steven Hoban are also producing.
Peter Kang is overseeing for Sony Pictures.
King’s “Christine” was published in 1983 with the film by “Halloween” director Carpenter coming out the same year.

“Hannibal” and “Star Trek: Discovery” creator Bryan Fuller is attached to make his feature directing debut with an adaptation of the Stephen King novel “Christine,” which Fuller is developing with Sony Pictures. Jason Blum will produce for Blumhouse, along with Vincenzo Natali and Steven Hoban.
The project is still in the early stages as Fuller writes the screenplay. King’s novel is set in the late 1970s, about a 17-year-old named Arnie who fixes up a 1958 Plymouth Fury that, naturally, is haunted by its previous, not-such-a-nice-guy owner, who named the car Christine. Soon, Arnie begins taking on the old owner’s personality and appearance, and the car seems to have it out for his best friend, new girlfriend and anyone else getting between Arnie and Christine.
This is Fuller’s first foray into features after three decades in television, including creating cult 2000s series “Wonderfalls” and “Pushing Daisies.” Fuller left...

Terry Farrell should be recognizable to few people since she’s been a part of a couple of franchises that people tend to gravitate towards, though one is obviously bigger than the other. But for those that enjoy old-school comedy, it’s easy to remember where she’s been seen before since she played the love interest of Keith Gordon, in the role of Jason Melon, in Back to School with Rodney Dangerfield and Burt Young, among other stars. Trekkies should remember her as Jadzia Dax from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, a show that she spent a great deal of time on

The latter, a 1992 adaptation of the William Wharton novel from writer-director Keith Gordon, features a cast of up-and-coming actors who would eventually become filmmakers themselves, including Ethan Hawke, Peter Berg, Frank Whaley, and Gary Sinise.

Despite the success of “Fargo’s” first season, the anthology series could have still grown stale. Creator Noah Hawley had successfully threaded the needle once, creating a fresh crime story all his own while working within a pastiche of the Coen Brothers’ 1995 classic film. But staying tied to the snowy color palette of cinematographer Roger Deakins and the Coens themselves — two of the most distinct visual storytellers of their generation — could also be a trap. “I had the feeling that Joel and Ethan Coen never make the same movie twice,” Hawley said. “So neither should we.” It was around this time that Hawley started to work closely with cinematographer Dana Gonzales, who had come onto the show after the Season 1 pilot and would soon become the showrunner’s key collaborator. Building off Hawley’s ideas of how to advance the series, they would create a new look for each season...

A witty memoir of the Covid plague days. It is fun and funny and commemorates a time we will all remember forever. A great gift, clever and gay with illustrations that fit the lyrical text perfectly. Both children and adults will love it.
What a fun book!

Kurt Vonnegut Jr., who remains one of the modern era’s most celebrated American writers, is a largely untapped inspiration for cinematic adaptation—perhaps because he remains ahead of (his) time, even today. Just as his rise to acclaim in literature was prolonged, cinema has taken even longer to navigate Vonnegut.
Few have attempted to mount a Vonnegut adaptation, usually to mixed or poor reception. For Vonnegut, it was his sixth novel, the seminal Slaughterhouse-Five published in 1969, which became his breakthrough, and of course, a film ahead of, behind and far beyond the notion of time, here presented as a darkly satirical mobius strip in the time traveling journeys of the unreliable, potentially insane narrator Billy Pilgrim.…...

Stephen King has never been hotter at the multiplex. These terrifying scenes are some of his most memorable big screen scares…
Horror master Stephen King has been adapted many times with varying degrees of success, and these days it seems like movie and TV adaptations are coming almost as fast as he can write them. These movies have released to varying degrees of success, but the very best ones have managed to captivate and/or scare us as well as a good King story.
Right on time for the King movie renaissance, we're taking a look at the scariest King movie moments. This isn't a list of the best adaptations as a whole, though (but you can find that here), which would, of course, include titles like Stand by Me and The Shawshank Redemption. Instead, this list focuses purely on the scariest bits in King's big screen repertoir.

MGM Television is developing an unscripted series inspired by the Rodney Dangerfield movie “Back to School,” the company announced on Monday.
Inspired by the ’80s comedy starring Dangerfield and Keith Gordon, the docuseries features parents who surprise their kids by enrolling in college alongside them. According to MGM, the untitled series “will allow parents who missed out on their own college years to experience everything university life has to offer, including sharing a classroom with their kids — who may be less than thrilled by the idea.”
“I am so excited to take the premise of one of my favorite films into the unscripted world,” said MGM’s Barry Pznick, president of unscripted television. “Rodney was a comedic genius and his spirit is very much in the DNA of our show’s approach to a dual fish-out-of-water comedic format for audiences to experience along with our parents and kids.
