You Can Now Own A Major Piece of Halloween Film History!

Published

on

The Strode House is a fictional location from the classic horror film Halloween, released in 1978. The film was directed by John Carpenter and written by Carpenter and Debra Hill. The Strode House serves as the home of the Strode family and plays a significant role in the movie’s plot, and this South Pasadena home is now for sale. The three-unit property on Fairview Avenue offers three units and enough space to be converted into a 4th unit, leaving two parking spaces on the Oxley side of the property. The home was built in 1906, and you can own it for $1,799,000 – a piece of horror film history.

Here’s a lovely expert from the listing:

“Yes, this was a filming location for the 1978 film ‘Halloween,’ as the house of Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis.) If you watch the film, you’ll recognize the infamous stoop that Jamie Lee Curtis sat on, holding a pumpkin.”

1103 Fairview Avenue, South Pasadena, CA 91030, has an open house scheduled on Saturday, September 9th, and Sunday, September 10th.

The Halloween 45th Anniversary Convention is happening at the Pasadena Convention Center on Saturday, September 30th & Sunday, October 1st – if you’re in the neighborhood, you can stop by and take a photo on the famous stoop of the Strode house. If you were lucky enough to purchase a bus tour (sold out) for September 29th (One day before the convention), this is typically a stop on the tour. The former owners welcomed this and provided a pumpkin for photo ops; I hope the new owners are fans and offer the same experience for all to enjoy!

Radio Silence No Longer Attached to ‘Escape From New York’

Published

on

Radio Silence has certainly had its ups and downs over the past year. First, they said they wouldn’t be directing another sequel to Scream, but their movie Abigail became a box office hit among critics and fans. Now, according to Comicbook.com, they won’t be pursuing the Escape From New York reboot that was announced late last year.

 Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin are the duo behind the directing/production team. They talked with Comicbook.com and when questioned about Escape From New York project, Gillett gave this answer:

“We are not, unfortunately. I think titles like that bounce around for a while and I think they’ve tried to get that out of the blocks a few times. I think it’s just ultimately a tricky rights issue thing. There’s a clock on it and we just weren’t in a position to make the clock, ultimately. But who knows? I think, in hindsight, it feels crazy that we would think we would, post-Scream, step into a John Carpenter franchise. You never know. There’s still interest in it and we’ve had a few conversations about it but we’re not attached in any official capacity.”

Radio Silence has yet to announce any of its upcoming projects.

Shelter in Place, New ‘A Quiet Place: Day One’ Trailer Drops

Published

on

The third installment of the A Quiet Place franchise is set to release only in theaters on June 28. Even though this one is minus John Krasinski and Emily Blunt, it still looks terrifyingly magnificent.

This entry is said to be a spin-off and not a sequel to the series, although it’s technically more a prequel. The wonderful Lupita Nyong’o takes center stage in this movie, along with Joseph Quinn as they navigate through New York City under siege by bloodthirsty aliens.

The official synopsis, as if we need one, is “Experience the day the world went quiet.” This, of course, refers to the quick-moving aliens who are blind but have an enhanced sense of hearing.

Under the direction of Michael Sarnoski (Pig) this apocalyptic suspense thriller will be released the same day as the first chapter in Kevin Costner’s three-part epic western Horizon: An American Saga.

Which one will you see first?

The toy company, headed by Todd McFarlane, has been doing its Movie Maniacs line since 1998, and this year they have created a new series called Music Maniacs. This includes legendary musicians, Ozzy Osbourne, Alice Cooper, and Trooper Eddie from Iron Maiden.

Adding to that iconic list is director Rob Zombie formerly of the band White Zombie. Yesterday, via Instagram, Zombie posted that his likeness will join the Music Maniacs line. The “Dracula” music video inspires his pose.

For now, McFarlane’s Music Maniacs collection is only available for pre-order. The Zombie figure is limited to only 6,200 pieces. Pre-order yours at the McFarlane Toys website.
