“We Need a Dark Delicacies in the World.”

by

With rents rising inexorably in the kitschy and cool corridor of Magnolia Park in Burbank, CA, local to the area horror book store & gift shop Dark Delicacies, a venerable staple of the Los Angeles and world-wide horror communities, is feeling the pinch. And along with many other “mom & pop” stores which provide the area its retro, genre charm, the owners of Dark Delicacies are unfortunately being forced to relocate their store.

Subsequently, the horror community has stepped up in order to assist them.

“We need a Dark Delicacies in the world,” said Malek Akkad of Trancas International Films of the store’s importance within the genre, and in assisting them in their relocation (to nearby Hollywood Way, address forthcoming).

“Both owners Del and Sue have over the years tirelessly supported the horror genre through their countless in-store signings, charitable work and events,” Akkad expounded. “And to that end, we’re beyond thrilled to see that the genre community itself has come together to support them during their costly move and rebuild, in order to assist Dark Delicacies in remaining the horror destination it’s been for over twenty-five years.”

Horror fans already helping Dark Delicacies via donations to their GoFundMe page include notable filmmakers Guillermo del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth), James Wan (Insidious) and Trancas International Films, among myriad others.

If you’d like to help, Dark Delicacies’ GoFundMe page is here, and you can visit them online here, as well as on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Halloween (2018) Steelbook Blu-ray Now Available for Pre-Order

by

Although director David Gordon Green’s Halloween – the most successful slasher film in the history of cinema (having just crossed $229 million at the global box office) may still be in theaters, it appears that Universal Pictures have made ready the film’s release on DVD, Blu-ray and 4K for early 2019.

We noticed last week that pre-order listings for the film (which originally included a January 15th, 2019 release date, which we predict it will continue to be) appeared on Best Buy, one for a Blu-ray Steelbook version available for $32.99 – click here, and one for a standard Blu-ray with digital copy, priced at $22.99 – click here. You can check out the box art for both below (with more details to come as we get them).

No word yet on what the extras are, but here’s to hoping that they’ll include the original ending and the first act shower scene (moments of which can be seen in the film’s marketing materials).

And if you haven’t yet witnessed the return of Michael Myers on the big screen, or want to once again, you can get your tickets here.

Michael Myers has indeed come home. Three weeks into its release, David Gordon Green’s Halloween has earned a whopping $229.6 million worldwide, unseating Wes Craven’s 1996 meta classic Scream as the most successful slasher film of all time. And right behind 2016‘s Split ($278 million) and 2017’s Get Out ($256 million), it’s currently Blumhouse’s third biggest-grossing feature film.

The eleventh film in the franchise and co-written by director Green, Danny McBride and Jeff Fradley, Halloween is intended as a direct sequel to John Carpenter’s 1978 classic, and thusly disregards all of the series subsequent entries.

With David Gordon Green’s critically raved about film Halloween still #1 at the box office for the second week in a row, we’ve rounded up some of the feature film’s trailers, television spots and clips to get you into the Halloween spirit.

Says Variety’s Peter Debruge, “Why choose when you can have tricks and treats? David Gordon Green does horror fans a favor, bringing Michael Myers’ slasher-movie saga back to its roots,” while Katie Walsh of Nerdist proclaims: “David Gordon Green delivers the best Halloween sequel ever.”

That’s not all. Joe Gross of Austin 360 states, “This is Curtis’ show; her third-act confrontation with the man who destroyed Strode’s life plays out with tension and chills,” and Bad Feeling Magazine’s Gabriel Sigler effuses, “Green nails the film’s tone down perfectly, capturing Michael Myers in a way we haven’t seen since John Carpenter’s original.”
