Halloween Filmmakers Aleardy In Talks For Halloween Two

Only a week after the trailer premiered for Halloween, word is a sequel is already on the minds of filmmakers David Gordon Green and Danny McBride. In fact, they have already pitched the sequel to Blumhouse. We were going to shoot two of them back-to-back,” McBride said to EW. “Then we were like, Well, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. This could come out, and everyone could hate us, and we’d never work again. So, let’s not have to sit around for a year while we wait for another movie to come out that we know people aren’t going to like. So, we were like, Let’s learn from this, and see what works, and what doesn’t. But we definitely have an idea of where we would go [with] this branch of the story and hopefully, we get a chance to do it.” It’s likely that Blumhouse would wait to announce a sequel after they see how fans respond when Halloween

Plot Details Surface For Halloween (2018)

Reports are coming in tonight about the plot of this year’s highly-anticipated movie Halloween, meant to be a direct sequel to the original. In the film, “Jamie Lee Curtis returns to her iconic role as Laurie Strode, who comes to her final confrontation with Michael Myers, the masked figure who has haunted her since she narrowly escaped his killing spree on Halloween night four decades ago.” Reportedly, this will be Laurie and Michael’s final showdown. Comicbook.com is reporting that Michael is never referred to by name, only as a “masked figure who has haunted her”, while all of the other films have implied that Laurie and Michael are siblings. Co-writer Danny McBride has already stated that “We’re kind of ignoring all the films past the first one,” He continued. ““It picks up after the first one, but it’s sort of an alternate reality. It’s as if the first Halloween ended in a slightly different way.” Virginia “Ginny” Garnder (Marvel’s Runaways),

Make Your Fire Pits Burn With The Skulls Of Your Enemies…Not Really

Summer is approaching and you know what that means, late night conversations around a campfire or a propane fire bit. Those fire bits are nice but you have to admit, those fake logs or fire glass can be kind of…lame, well not anymore! The folks at Myard have the perfect replacement or addition to your fire pit or gas fireplaces, fireproof skulls. These ceramic skulls are made to withstand really hot temperatures in both a gas or wood-burning fireplaces or fire pits. Use them around Halloween or if you’re like me, use them all year around! The skulls do come in different colors but depending on how often you use them and in what way, soot can build up on them and discolor them. Some people on the web have said they’ve used fireproof paints to repaint them or paint them up to look more realistic. Myard says that the skulls are meant to be used in open fire pits
