John Carpenter Plays the ‘Halloween’ Theme With Nintendo Labo

Published

on

Carpenter

Master of Horror and music maestro, John Carpenter’s lineup of film scores are as prolific as his films; if not more by a tad. In fact, over the past decade, Carpenter has totally turned to music as his primary artistic outlet. He has toured with son, Cody Carpenter and has released a few great albums. While all that is amazing and all… nothing will compare to John Carpenter playing on Nintendo Labo.

Of course, I jest a bit. But, John Carpenter does intro the video by saying “this is the most important musical moment of my life.” Of course, he is also joking… just a bit.

The Nintendo Labo is that fun little cardboard device that Nintendo dropped a few years back. The musical results capable on one of these little guys isn’t the height of music ability. But, it was a fun little toy.

Carpenter takes the Labo to the next level by playing the theme from Halloween. What better time to bring back this IGN video than for the slow walk-of-shame out of the month of October? I thought now was a good time.

Hearing classic grumpy Carpenter-clacking away on these keys trying to figure it out and getting frustrated is the best. It’s only outdone by Carpenter becoming very frustrated and turning on Nintendo and Labo in the final moments to great effect.

It’s totally worth a watch if you haven’t seen it yet.

Halloween Ends arrives in theaters Oct. 14, 2022.

Rock Music & Goopy Practical Effects in ‘Destroy All Neighbors’ Trailer

Published

on

The heart of rock and roll is still beating in the Shudder original Destroy All Neighbors. Over-the-top practical effects are also alive in this release coming to the platform on January 12. The streamer released the official trailer and it has some pretty big names behind it.

Directed by Josh Forbes the movie stars Jonah Ray Rodrigues, Alex Winter, and Kiran Deol.

Rodrigues plays William Brown, “a neurotic, self-absorbed musician determined to finish his prog-rock magnum opus, faces a creative roadblock in the form of a noisy and grotesque neighbor named Vlad (Alex Winter). Finally working up the nerve to demand that Vlad keep it down, William inadvertently decapitates him. But, while attempting to cover up one murder, William’s accidental reign of terror causes victims to pile up and become undead corpses who torment and create more bloody detours on his road to prog-rock Valhalla. Destroy All Neighbors is a twisted splatter-comedy about a deranged journey of self-discovery full of goopy practical FX, a well-known ensemble cast, and LOTS of blood.”

Take a look at the trailer and let us know what you think!

A Boy Band Kills Our Favorite Reindeer in “I Think I Killed Rudolph”

Published

on

The new movie There’s Something in the Barn seems like a tongue-in-cheek holiday horror movie. It’s like Gremlins but bloodier and with gnomes. Now there is a song on the soundtrack that captures the humor and horror of the movie called I Think I Killed Rudolph.

The ditty is a collab between two Norwegian boy bands: Subwoofer and A1.

Subwoofer was s Eurovision entrant in 2022. A1 is a popular act from the same country. Together they killed poor Rudolph in a hit-and-run. The humorous song is a part of the film which follows a family fulfilling their dream, “of moving back after inheriting a remote cabin in the mountains of Norway.” Of course, the title gives away the rest of the movie and it turns into a home invasion — or — a gnome invasion.

There’s Something in the Barn releases in cinemas and On Demand December 1.
