Listen to Two Tracks from Broadway-Bound ‘Beetlejuice: The Musical’

Published

Beetlejuice the Musical

Well, we knew it was happening and now we’ve got proof. Beetlejuice: The Musical, directed by Alex Timbers with a score by Eddie Perfect, dropped two tracks this week to give fans a taste of what the proverbial “ghost with the most” will be bringing to Broadway audiences later this month when it officially opens.

Tony-nominee Alex Brightman who previously wowed audiences with his starring turn in School of Rock, another movie turned musical, stars as Beetlejuice opposite Sophie Anne Caruso as Lydia Deetz.

Broadway veterans Adam Dannheisser and Leslie Kritzer will appear as Lydia’s dad and stepmother and Rob McClure and Kerry Butler will play Adam and Barbara, two ghosts who just want to spend their afterlife in peace in their own home.

Beetlejuice first hit the big screen in 1988 starring Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, Jeffrey Jones, Catherine O’Hara, Alec Baldwin, and Geena Davis in the roles.

Turning the film into a musical isn’t even really a stretch. Fans will never forget the Deetzes’ disastrous dinner party culminating in a hilarious performance of “Day-O” or Lydia flying through the air to “Jump in Line (Shake Senora).”

For the Broadway show, the composer has gone for a more rock-infused vibe with the Brightman/Caruso duet “Say My Name” and Caruso’s “Dead Mom.”

Beetlejuice: The Musical will open April 25, 2019 at the Winter Garden Theatre on Broadway.

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.
