As we come together as a society to combat the spread of COVID-19, we’ve asked ourselves here at HalloweenMovies.com, “In what other small ways can we help?” Social distancing and self-quarantine are both givens, of which we’ve been adhering. Some on our staff are delivering needed prescriptions and groceries to the elderly. And others are doing their best to assist the medical community who are on the frontlines; those who are putting their very lives at daily risk in order to deliver the aid to those who desperately need it.
With the current nationwide shortage of N95 masks which are desperately needed by first responders and medical practitioners still a concern, Trancas International Films, along with Blumhouse Productions, Miramax and Universal Pictures recently donated their unused reserve of N95 masks stemming from the production of Halloween Kills to Hanover Regional Medical Center in Wilmington, North Carolina. Other productions have done things similar, including the television series “The Resident” (FOX) and “The Good Doctor” (ABC), among others, who’ve donated medical supplies to organizations assisting in treating those impacted by the pandemic.
As for you, the Halloween fan, a member of a long-standing and close-knit community which has consistently proven itself to be passionate, resilient, creative and caring, we’d like to know what you’ve been doing to assist in this time of crisis. Please tell us your own personal stories below, and provide us with any suggestions on what you think we as a community may do to further assist.
We’ll get through this together.
Be kind to yourselves, and please stay safe.
