The 5 Best Moments from the Halloween Trailer
The trailer for the new HALLOWEEN movie has finally arrived and I have to admit that all of my trepidation was washed away almost instantly. I was unsure of just how a new HALLOWEEN movie would be handled by Danny McBride (who I loved as Kenny Powers on EASTBOUND & DOWN but wasn’t the first name I thought of when it came to horror) but if this trailer is any indication, McBride and his partner David Gordon Green have the feel of John Carpenter’s slasher classic down and Jamie Lee Curtis is coming back loaded for bear. So click onward fellow horrorphiles to see what I thought were the top 5 moments gleaned from the trailer.

The Best Horror Movie Franchises Ranked By Me
Earlier this week I saw that there was a list ranking the horror movie franchises on Gawker and thought it would be a good idea to do here. My rules however are a bit different than what the folks at Gawker used. For my list the rules are as follows:
1. To qualify as a franchise there must be at least 3 movies released.
2. Remakes of movies can be counted as part of the franchise.
3. “VS” movies (like Aliens vs Predators and Freddy vs Jason) are not counted.
4. Must be horror flicks. Duh.
So on to my list.
I Have The Perfect New Mask For The Inevitable Halloween Reboot
The classic HALLOWEEN movies featured unstoppable madman Michael Myers wearing a modified Capt. Kirk from STAR TREK mask to memorably frightening effect. Now as much as I love that mask I think I have the perfect mask to bring the character into the new millenium once the inevitable reboot of the franchise is given the greenlight.
