Scream is certainly the most risk adverse horror franchise I can think of. That’s where the fandom tension comes from. There’s a camp that’s happy with Scream functioning like a procedural- almost like a horror version of Law and Order- where you know Sidney & Gale will solve the crime & everyone will live to see another day. But there’s also a contingent of fans who crave fresh. They want the spirit & originality of the first film but with new characters & a different setting. Radio Silence saw that & tried to please both camps & were successful (except if you ask Twitter) to some degree. I just can’t see this franchise deviating from the formula unless the bottom falls out like it did with Scream 4 again. Which is going to be profitable but not exactly artistically stimulating.

Lesli Linka Glatter’s episodes of Twin Peaks walked the line between absurd & tragic in a truly masterful way. She knew that Twin Peaks existed in between those emotions & never missed tonally. She’s the unsung hero of the original series.

Ghostface finds Sidney in a mental institution at the beginning of the film. She’s waiting for him and they fight on the rooftop. Ghostface kills her after they share a kiss. After this extended opening, the film transitions into a new story with a new cast lead by Busta Rhymes.

The buyout is a free month of Paramount plus, a Tom Cruise 8x10 from Top Gun 2 and a Scream 7 lanyard.

Can you believe that this little guy is going to go to hell one day??

2 left!

I cut off my hair. Yes I keep a ladder and saw in my office.

3 paperback copies left! Let me know if you’re interested in ordering an autographed copy directly from me.

Today was the service for my best friend. I saw his 12 year old daughter sitting alone, fighting back tears. I showed her this meme I made of her Dad that I sent him every year on his birthday. Nora looked at me and said “You and my Dad are weird”. My heart breaks for both of his daughters but I was glad I could make her smile for a moment.

Everyone who ordered an autographed copy from me should be receiving theirs early this week per the USPS tracking info. I do have 3 paperbacks left. DM me if you’re interested.

As much as I wish I were more sophisticated than this, this meme is absolutely true.

This morning when I came downstairs, my kitchen faucet was on. Nobody was up before me. Then I looked in the living room & a box of keepsake matches that had been in a box upstairs were spread all over the floor. I have no explanation for either.

I am 7,000 years old & I still clearly love Halloween. Age is just a number.

Last Friday, before the screening of H5, someone in the crowd asked me what I thought about H5. I told them that the best way to view this movie is from the perspective of the director. A young, European man, far from home for the first time but swept up by America’s charms. He brought a sense of European gothic with him (the house) but the characters & subplots are all how a foreigner viewed America with wide eyed wonder in the 80s. I wrote about this in Haddonfield and Dominique confirmed the rest to me in our interview. Book is available at this link: a.co/d/07s6cRl0

Ghostface is a persona, not a person. Much like how we separate Corey from Michael & Roy from Jason, each person that donned the Ghostface mask would need to be examined individually for this hypothetical Mount Rushmore. I could see Billy & Roman getting substantial support. Did I really just answer this question with a level of scrutiny reversed for sports Hall of Fames? I can’t help it, that’s just how my brain works.

Per sources, Scream 8 is in fact a musical.

Ellie Cornell, in her interview for “Horror in Haddonfield”, on the physicality of her role: “But for Halloween, there was no “Hey Ellie, by the way, you're going to be crawling around with Danielle on your back, sliding around, running, leaping over fences”. You just do it though and adrenaline helps. The part that I didn't do, which is probably no shock to anybody, was actually falling off the roof. That was a stunt double. But a lot of that was Danielle and I and it's cold out. Dwight was great about prepping us. It wasn't just like, ok, you guys, you're gonna run really fast down this foggy, dark alley. No, it was like, imagine that he's behind you and our job as performers is to tell the story. It's not that hard to imagine what it would be like. If that's the case, of course I would run up through the attic and climb out onto the roof. You would do what you had to do. So that's also helpful. It doesn't come from a fake place and to me it wasn't gratuitous action where it was these ridiculous fight scenes for no reason. I've done those too and those are fine. That's a different animal. But this to me comes from a really true place. I feel like our audience felt it. Horror movies took a different path after Halloween 4. After our film, the genre slowly got darker and darker and gorier and gorier, which is fine. But back in the day, you really had to tell the story in ways that the audience is going to understand and relate to. It's the relatability that I think made it work. I think that's why the character is likable and relatable, because you could relate being in charge of a child and there's this threat. Of course you're gonna climb out the roof and put them on your back. What else could I do?” Horror in Haddonfield is now available on Amazon: a.co/d/0b3xc0Ft
