‘Halloween Kills’ Shares New Image and Reveals Story Revolves Around Paranoia and Mob Mentality

It seems that Halloween Kills is going to just coincidentally mirror a lot of our going ons. Blumhouse films have increasingly been all about that social commentary. The newest Halloween film looks to be more of that carefully-crafted timeliness.

David Gordon Green talked to Empire and revealed some plot points of the upcoming Michael Myer’s slasher. He revealed that Halloween Kills is about paranoia and crowd panic leading to mob mentality. It even goes into the all too familiar arena of misinformation.

This tracks perfectly. Last we saw Michael he was trapped in a Laurie Strode’s hellish firetrap. But, we all knew that Myers would once again escape. This suspicion was made real when we heard Myers breathing going into the end credits.

Now, I’m speculating but… Haddonfield is sure to be losings its mind with the idea of Michael Myers roaming around… or possibly roaming around. Also, how much of the easily influenced might come to believe that the Strodes are to blame for Myers coming to town? All that could definitely lead to a wild mob mentality due to misinformation.

“This film is about community fear, paranoia, misinformation and crowd panic, this movie is a great popcorn genre movie and not really any kind of statement, but it’s strange how things line up. It couldn’t be a more interesting time to release a movie like this.” Green told Empire.

So, don’t get too worried that the film will get weighed down with the big heavy commentary. It is still a slasher at heart. Personally, horror with a message has always been the best horror… but that’s a whole other conversation.

In the new photo, we see Myers escaping the Strode house, but if you look closely he is carrying a halligan. Those suckers are used by firemen to pry open locked doors during fires. So all signs there point to Micheal meeting an unlucky fireman in the basement, and then using that halligan to pry his way out and, I’m certain he will additionally use it to smash a head or two for good measure. Poor, poor firemen.

What do you guys think about the new image of Myers escaping Strode house? Let us know in the comments section.

Halloween Kills is set to release October 15.

It’s been three long years since Netflix unleashed the bloody, but enjoyable Fear Street on its platform. Released in a tryptic fashion, the streamer broke up the story into three episodes, each taking place in a different decade which by the finale were all tied together.

Now, the streamer is in production for its sequel Fear Street: Prom Queen which brings the story into the 80s. Netflix gives a synopsis of what to expect from Prom Queen on their blog site Tudum:

“Welcome back to Shadyside. In this next installment of the blood-soaked Fear Street franchise, prom season at Shadyside High is underway and the school’s wolfpack of It Girls is busy with its usual sweet and vicious campaigns for the crown. But when a gutsy outsider is unexpectedly nominated to the court, and the other girls start mysteriously disappearing, the class of ’88 is suddenly in for one hell of a prom night.” 

Based on R.L. Stine’s massive series of Fear Street novels and spin-offs, this chapter is number 15 in the series and was published in 1992.

Fear Street: Prom Queen features a killer ensemble cast, including India Fowler (The Nevers, Insomnia), Suzanna Son (Red Rocket, The Idol), Fina Strazza (Paper Girls, Above the Shadows), David Iacono (The Summer I Turned Pretty, Cinnamon), Ella Rubin (The Idea of You), Chris Klein (Sweet Magnolias, American Pie), Lili Taylor (Outer Range, Manhunt) and Katherine Waterston (The End We Start From, Perry Mason).

No word on when Netflix will drop the series into its catalog.

Scooby Doo Live Action Netflix

The ghosthunting Great Dane with an anxiety problem, Scooby-Doo, is getting a reboot and Netflix is picking up the tab. Variety is reporting that the iconic show is becoming an hour-long series for the streamer although no details have been confirmed. In fact, Netflix execs declined to comment.

Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!

If the project is a go, this would be the first live-action movie based on the Hanna-Barbera cartoon since 2018’s Daphne & Velma. Before that, there were two theatrical live-action movies, Scooby-Doo (2002) and Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed (2004), then two sequels that premiered on The Cartoon Network.

Currently, the adult-oriented Velma is streaming on Max.

Scooby-Doo originated in 1969 under the creative team Hanna-Barbera. The cartoon follows a group of teenagers who investigate supernatural happenings. Known as Mystery Inc., the crew consists of Fred Jones, Daphne Blake, Velma Dinkley, and Shaggy Rogers, and his best friend, a talking dog named Scooby-Doo.

Scooby-Doo

Normally the episodes revealed the hauntings they encountered were hoaxes developed by land-owners or other nefarious characters hoping to scare people away from their properties. The original TV series named Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! ran from 1969 to 1986. It was so successful that movie stars and pop culture icons would make guest appearances as themselves in the series.

Celebrities such as Sonny & Cher, KISS, Don Knotts, and The Harlem Globetrotters made cameos as did Vincent Price who portrayed Vincent Van Ghoul in a few episodes.
