We’re just a few days away from the theatrical release of Poltergeist, a big screen remake that we somehow managed to avoid for a whole lot longer than most. Whereas Tobe Hooper directed and Steven Spielberg produced the original, this time around Gil Kenan (Monster House) directed while Sam Raimi produced, lending the film a …
There’s a reason the name George Miller immediately puts a smile on the faces of so many movie lovers, and that’s because there’s something singularly special about the films he has brought into our lives. The Aussie filmmaker is of course known for the Mad Max trilogy, and this year he returns to inject a …
I think it’s safe to say that nobody expected we’d get another Mad Max sequel, as the last one came out 30 years ago, and I think it’s also fair to assume that nobody expected franchise creator George Miller would be the guy to bring Max Rockatansky back to the big screen. But indeed he …
We’ve talked many times in the recent past here on Halloween Love about action figures based on horror movies, and will surely continue to do so right until the day I hang up the keyboard and do something else with my life.

Last year’s The Pyramid has the unfortunate honor of being the rare Hollywood found footage movie that didn’t at least make back its miniscule budget at the box office, and that failure must be partially blamed on the fact that it was released into less than 600 theaters. After a dismal theatrical run, The Pyramid …
There were a handful of things I wanted to be when I grew up, throughout various stages of my childhood. Like all kids, I used to dream of someday becoming a dinosaur, and when I realized that was just a little bit unattainable, I decided I’d settle for being a professional wrestler. Of course, that …
This past weekend saw the theatrical release of Avengers: Age of Ultron, which has to be considered the nerd event of 2015 (so far). Though some oddly misinformed reports insist that the film underperformed at the box office, Thor and the gang amassed a weekend gross of just under $200 million, giving the hotly anticipated …
The trajectory of John McNaughton’s career is quite fascinating, as his two most well-known films are very different from one another.
