It seems that the Midway Drive-In is going over-the-top this Halloween season with another marathon announcement. On Saturday, October 10th, they will be screening the first 4 Halloween movies that feature Michael Myers. Yes, I know, that means no Halloween 3, but deal with it. This marathon is all about Michael Myers. From the original classic from John Carpenter and it’s immediate follow-up, to the 2nd storyline with the Shape seeking out his niece, Jamie.
For more information, head over to the Midway’s website HERE. They don’t have much info on there just yet, but keep checking back for updates
The Miskatonic Institute of Horror Studies opened up in 2010, offering classes in horror history, theory, and production, with branches in London, New York, and Los Angeles. But now they will be hosting some of their classes online so no matter where in the world you are, you can attend!
The film industry has lost another true and great talent with the passing of Wilfred Brimley. While he only appeared in a few horror films, if I saw his name in the opening credits, I knew he was going to be interesting to watch. I think I first became aware of him in the Paul Newman film Absence of Malice (1981) because that played at the theater I worked at. So while it wasn’t a film I would normally see, I got to see a lot of it during the working hours, so I remembered his character. And then came John Carpenter’s The Thing (1982). It threw me for a bit with him without his mustache, but his voice is just as recognizable as this facial hair. As well as his incredible performances. In 1985, he appeared in another favorite of mine, Remo Williams, which I was so bummed they never made more of those.
