For All My Halloween Fans..."Frankenweenie"

Well today is October 1 and we are 30 days from Halloween! So for all my kiddie fans who take part in this ghoulish holiday here is a little something for them... Check out some of the posters for the upcoming film Frankenweenie!!

In Tim Burton’s Frankenweenie young Victor conducts a science experiment to bring his beloved dog Sparky back to life, only to face unintended, sometimes monstrous, consequences.

From creative genius Tim Burton (Alice in Wonderland, The Nightmare Before Christmas) comes Frankenweenie, a heartwarming tale about a boy and his dog. After unexpectedly losing his beloved dog Sparky, young Victor harnesses the power of science to bring his best friend back to life—with just a few minor adjustments. He tries to hide his home-sewn creation, but when Sparky gets out, Victor’s fellow students, teachers and the entire town all learn that getting a new “leash on life” can be monstrous.

Frankenweenie hits theaters October 5th, 2012

Happy Halloween!!

Trick or Treat...Happy Halloween!!

Be Safe this weekend! And most of all have fun!

Rewind Wednesday: Halloween Edition

With Halloween right around the corner, it would be right if I didn't do a double feature on two classic scary/horror flicks. I figure I give you one that has a little bit of the guts & gore, and then one that truly was scary with such ease. First up is that of the 1988 horror film Child's Play.

After 6-year-old Andy Barclays (Alex Vincent) babysitter is violently pushed out of a window to her death, nobody believes him when he says that Chucky, his new birthday doll, did it! Until things start going terribly wrongdead wrong. And when an ensuing rampage of gruesome murders lead a detective (Chris Sarandon) back to the same toy, he discovers that the real terror has just begunthe deranged doll has plans to transfer his evil spirit into a living human being - young Andy!



Critical reviews were very positive, with Roger Ebert calling it "an effective horror film." Child's Play is a movie that probably succeeded because it was in the right place at the right time.

And second is that of the classic technicolor (black and white...for those that didn't have a color tv...lol) horror film, The Birds.

The story begins as an innocuous romantic triangle involving wealthy, spoiled Melanie Daniels (Tippi Hedren), handsome Mitch Brenner (Rod Taylor), and schoolteacher Annie Hayworth (Suzanne Pleshette). The human story begins in a San Francisco pet shop and culminates at the home of Mitch's mother (Jessica Tandy) at Bodega Bay, where the characters' sense of security is slowly eroded by the curious behavior of the birds in the area. At first, it's no more than a sea gull swooping down and pecking at Melanie's head. Things take a truly ugly turn when hundreds of birds converge on a children's party. There is never an explanation as to why the birds have run amok, but once the onslaught begins, there's virtually no letup.
