Check It Out: Danny Mcbride Confirms Michael Myers Mortality

By
The horror of skepticism ran rapid when David Gordon Lee and Danny Mcbride of Eastbound and Down fame were picked to bring the Halloween franchise back to the big screen.  In recent appearance on the empire film podcast, Mcbride confirmed that he does not find the notion of Michael Myers being immortal that scary.  Rather he made the valid point that it's the realism of Myers that truly makes him frightening, and when you remove the human aspect it can suddenly pull the audience out of the film.  Find out our thoughts on Mcbride's comments and the Halloween reboot after the break...


I could not agree with Mcbride more! I also love the fact that he went on in the interview to acknowledge the pressure of rebooting an Iconic franchise.  It sounds like Mcbride has a deep love for the Halloween property, and is trying to right the wrongs in previous later entries into the series. Adding a more humane and real world aspect to Myers is something that has been sorely lacking since John Carpenter's Halloween II, and the fact that Mcbride and Gordon Lee look to re-introduce those elements back into the franchise as well as them receiving the blessing of John Carpenter has me optimistic.

Mcbride and Gordon Lee's Halloween reboot is scheduled for a October 19th 2018 release.

     As Skeletor said in the 1987 film Masters of the Universe , "Everything comes to he who waits, and I have waited so very long for this moment." Yes, after one year of preorders, waiting, concepts and preproduction pieces, constant changes, small victories, crushing defeats, and sheer anticipation, Castle Grayskull has finally arrived to my home. Earlier this afternoon my wife texted me a picture of the enormous box sitting in our kitchen and I've been jazzed ever since. Heck, I've been singing the Castle Grayskull song all week now to help myself pass the time. Before I even open the box, I have to say that while there have been plenty of ups and downs on the journey from having Castle Grayskull exist simply as a sketch on paper to existing as an actual product delivered to my door, I think there are some folks that need to be commended. First, regardless of all other issues I don't think anyone can say that Scott Neitlich ("ToyGuru") and the Fo

The Night He Came Home Again! - A 'Halloween 2018' Review

By

When we first learned that Director: David Gordon Green would be talking over the iconic Halloween franchise, my thoughts could best be described as skeptical at best.  How was the guy that brought us Pineapple Express going to bring Michael Myers home again? Also where did Danny McrBride fit it in? Would Blumhouse and Green do the un-thinkable by allowing McBride to dawn the mask, and having the world famous physical comedian wield who knows what as his weapon of choice? Find out the answer to these, and many other questions after the break in our Halloween review....
