As far as individual authors go, Stephen King is certainly in the top of the list of authors whose works have been adapted. He is right there with Agatha Christie, Edgar Allan Poe, Arthur Conan Doyle, and other authors whose works have been adapted often and in many forms. But unlike the aforementioned authors, King’s adaptations are usually original, while the other authors have seen their works adapted and remade more than once. In light of that fact, we can confirm that King’s story, “The Monkey,” had been adapted into a film this spring and the movie was presented to buyers at Cannes this year!
Knowing how popular King’s adaptations are, it was a sure thing that someone would buy the movie, and as it happens, Neon managed to nab the distribution rights for the upcoming movie and they have confirmed that a 2025 release date is currently planned.

A Stephen King horror story about a malevolent (sort of) doll almost sounds like something that could've been written specifically for James Wan to turn into a movie. But while the filmmaker behind "Saw," "Insidious," "The Conjuring," and "Malignant" is indeed involved in adapting "The Monkey" -- a short story King wrote for Gallery magazine in 1980 before later including it in his 1985 collection "Skeleton Crew" -- for the screen, he's only lending his services as a producer.
Instead, "The Monkey" is being written and directed by Osgood "Oz" Perkins, son of "Psycho" actor Anthony Perkins and the mind behind such creepily atmospheric and inventively stylized horror pictures as "The Blackcoat's Daughter," "I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House," and "Gretel & Hansel". Osgood Perkins is also currently riding high thanks to the buzz around "Longlegs," his upcoming occult serial killer horror-thriller that boasts one of the most intriguing trailers in recent memory.

This article contains spoilers for "Halloween Ends."
Like all slasher films, David Gordon Green's "Halloween" trilogy will be heavily debated between generations of horror fans until the sun burns out, with people still screaming out "Team Corey!" or "It sucked!" with their last, gasping breaths. Regardless of how anyone personally feels about the trilogy, there's one thing we can all agree on — there are some pretty damn gnarly kills on display. "Halloween Ends" is home to some particularly shocking kill sequences, with the massacre at the salvage yard easily one of the best. During the scene, Corey Cunningham (Rohan Campbell) gets revenge on a gang of bullies who torment him, including Terry Tramer (Michael Barbieri), Stacy (Destiny Mone), Margo (Joey Harris), and Billy (Marteen). Terry takes a blowtorch to the face, Stacy gets her head smashed by a wrench, Billy gets a drumstick stabbed through his head, and Margo...

David Gordon Green's 2022 slasher film "Halloween Ends" is an unusual entry in the series in many ways. In it, the vicious masked serial killer Michael Myers (James Jude Courtney) has been living in a sewer and stays out of the film's central action for the bulk of its running time. "Ends," instead, focuses largely on a character named Corey Cunningham (Rohan Campbell), a man who, two years ago, accidentally killed the young boy he was babysitting. Green envisioned Corey's hometown town of Haddonfield, Illinois as a bitter and wounded place, full of spiteful, hurt people who cannot heal from the murderous damage that Michael caused way back in 1978, as well as his return in 2018. Every citizen is bitter, angry, and paranoid. Corey is bullied and picked on, unable to outlive his mistake.
When Corey wanders into Michael's sewer (he was fleeing bullies), he finds Michael and a strange transference occurs.

The "Halloween Ends" defender has logged on. I know a lot of people hold David Gordon Green's trilogy conclusion in low-regard, but I firmly believe it's one of the most interesting "Halloween" sequels ever made. Green and company take some mighty big swings, telling a story not so much about Michael Myers and Laurie Strode as it is about evil as a kind of infectious disease, almost surely a reaction to the Covid-19 era. The story, for those of you who forgot, finds Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) trying to live a normal life following the return of Michael Myers and the death of her daughter Karen (Judy Greer). As for old Mikey, aka The Shape, he's retreated underground, still healing from wounds inflicted upon him by an angry mob of Haddonfieldians.

Perhaps the most intensely discussed horror reboot of the 21st century is David Gordon Green's "Halloween." With a 79% on Rotten Tomatoes from critics and a 72% audience score, it seems like most of the intended crowd for the slasher legacyquel walked away satisfied, so Universal Pictures quickly put two more sequels on its calendar. Unfortunately, "Halloween Kills" was a drastic step down, earning only a 39% critics score. Sure, the audience score only dropped a bit to 66%, but when you're dedicated to the franchise, you're bound to be fairly pleased with whatever you get. "Halloween Ends" didn't fare much better, with just a 40% from critics, and a steeper drop to 57% from fans, officially taking it into rotten territory on both counts.
It's that last movie that has sparked some debate among longtime "Halloween" fans, with some appreciating the bold new direction that Green takes the franchise by making new character Corey Cunningham...

After pitting a knife-wielding Jennifer Lopez and a submachine gun-armed Jennifer Coolidge against a pack of wedding-crashing pirates in the rom-com/action mashup "Shotgun Wedding" (you can read our review of the film here), Prime Video is slowing things down a little in February. That month will see the release of the second and final season of the streamer's fantasy neo-noir series "Carnival Row," which is dropping nearly three and a half years after the first season launched in August 2019, in case you find yourself wondering (much like /Film's Valerie Ettenhofer), "Wait, so I didn't imagine the show where Orlando Bloom solves crimes and hooks up with pixie Cara Delevingne?" No, no you did not, but hey, at least now it has a proper ending!

There's always a villain in a horror film. They supply story conflict, forcing our protagonists to face their own death and rise victorious. Sometimes, villains are cloaked in everyday life as your next-door neighbor, a 9-year-old child, or the family pet. Other times, villains assume the shape of supernatural entities, malevolent forces, or otherworldly beings transported from a different dimension. For every masked serial killer, a vampire ventures out for blood and a ghost causes mayhem in someone's attic.
In 2022, several villains stole the show in otherwise lackluster films and still others stood head and shoulders above their competition. But who are the most powerful villains of the bunch? Below, /Film sifts through the wealth of last year's film releases to rank the eight most powerful baddies, those beings that can rip heads from their victims' bodies and crush bones into dust.

Just when you thought Rob Zombie’s The Munsters would be the most divisive movie of the year, Halloween Ends came along to dominate the discourse. Given the contentious reaction among fans, I was eager to hear the audio commentary that accompanies the film on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD – which is now available online and at all major retailers.
Here are 10 things I learned from the track, which features director/co-writer David Gordon Green, actors Andi Matichak and Rohan Campbell, co-producer/first assistant director Atilla Salih Yücer, and production assistant (a rarity in special features!) Hugo Garza.

Corey watching John Carpenter’s The Thing while babysitting is an obvious reference to the first Halloween, in which Laurie watches the original The Thing from Another World while babysitting, but Green also included it in an effort to...

A lot of moments that didn’t make it into the theatrical cut of director David Gordon Green’s Halloween Ends were used to promote the film, with one of the most prominent examples being images that showed an extended version of the attack on the character Joan, Corey’s mom, who was played by Joanne Baron. Now that Halloween Ends is available on both digital and physical media, we decided to share the extended scene clip that shows the full attack on Joan.
At least this scene made it into the special features. The extended cut of the death of Susan the radio receptionist is nowhere to be found.
Green, who was also at the helm of Halloween 2018 and Halloween Kills, directed Halloween Ends from a screenplay he wrote with Danny McBride, Paul Brad Logan, and Chris Bernier. The film has the following synopsis:

Fans of the Shudder series The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs were happy to see Diana Prince, also known as Darcy the Mail Girl, show up in director David Gordon Green’s Halloween Ends (read our review Here and discuss whether or not you think the movie is underrated Here) as the radio receptionist Susan – but were also disappointed that her death scene didn’t make it into the final cut of the film. We only see the aftermath. Prince initially thought the deleted death scene would end up on the physical media release of the film… but now that she has received confirmation that it’s not on there, she shared some footage that gives a behind-the-scenes look at the excised murder.
I now know officially that my death scene won’t be included anywhere, but you can see a lil of the BTS from it here… #HalloweenEnds pic.

Where there’s horror, there’s death, and 2022 has been a tremendous year for horror. The genre is thriving, as evidenced by the robust offerings of surprise sequels, massive franchise returns, and original stories on every level, indie and otherwise. That means a slew of ingenious and highly creative onscreen kills that made us groan, cringe, cheer, and even cry.
We’re saluting the ten best kills in 2022 horror movies, which means massive spoilers ahead.
You’ve been warned…
10. Bodies Bodies Bodies – Machete Mistake
Party host David (Pete Davidson) gets found with his throat slashed shortly after the hurricane knocks the party out in A24’s Bodies, Bodies, Bodies, sending the rest of the partygoers into paranoid panic as they try to figure out which among them is his murderer. That panic escalates into full-blown violence until only a few remain. Only in the horror-comedy’s final moments is the...

2022 has been an outrageously good year for horror cinema.
The variety, complexity and volume of horror movies released this year is truly staggering; a true embarrassment of blood-soaked riches. The crop so impressive that it was tough to leave off a few really great movies (like “The Menu” or David Cronenberg’s guttural “Crimes of the Future”).
But for now, here are 15 great horror movies from this year (and where you can currently watch them). These movies are so good you’ll want to scream.
15. “Nanny” Prime Video
Talk about a dynamite debut feature. “Nanny,” from first timer Nikyatu Jusu, centers on a Senegalese immigrant (the terrific Anna Diop) who goes to work as a nanny for a wealthy Upper East Side couple. (She’s trying to pay for her son to immigrate to America.) Once embedded in these peoples’ lives (the feisty wife is played by Michelle Monaghan) her...

The unmasked Myers from Halloween 2018 can be seen Here, the unmasked Myers from Halloween Kills is Here. And now special effects artist Christopher Nelson has taken to social media to share pictures of the unmasked Michael Myers from the trilogy capper, Halloween Ends (read our review Here).

Halloween as we know it has finally come to an end. No longer will The Boogeyman be haunting the streets of Haddonfield. With the release of Halloween Ends, and before the series is inevitably rebooted again, it’s time now to take stock of the franchise and its best moments. Over the course of 44 years, the Michael Myers saga has given us plenty of frights. There have been exciting highs and terribly grim lows. Through it all, there’s always been something worth talking about, no matter how divisive.
While the franchise’s carnage is always up for discussion, I wanted to focus in on those non-kill scenes一mostly, I may have snuck in one or two一that linger with you long after the movie has ended.

Fans had expectations going into Halloween Ends (read our review Here). Given the title and the fact that this was hyped up to be the last time Jamie Lee Curtis will ever play the role of franchise heroine Laurie Strode, it seemed sensible to assume that the movie was going to focus on the final showdown between Laurie and masked slasher Michael Myers – who has killed many people around her over the years. Friends, acquaintances, and even her own daughter. But Halloween Ends has very little to do with the final battle between Laurie and Michael – and director David Gordon Green says it was never going to be focused on that.
Speaking with Movie Maker, Green said, “We had to decide how we wanted to wrap up these characters. How do we want to make it not just a nice, neat bow on a franchise? Honestly, we never once considered...

The final film of the David Gordon Green Halloween reboot trilogy has fans of the franchise divided and the director of the slasher is explaining the creative decisions he made for Halloween Ends.
Some of the criticism that the horror flick received was that Laurie Strode and Michael Myers, played by Jamie Lee Curtis and James Jude Courtney, respectively, were not featured in what is supposed to be their final showdown after 44 years.
“We had to decide how we wanted to wrap up these characters. How do we want to make it not just a nice, neat bow on a franchise? Honestly, we never once considered making a Laurie and Michael movie,” Green told Movie Maker. “The concept that it should be a final showdown-type brawl never even crossed our minds. I wanted to see where it would go. I wanted one to win, one to die. But we were always more ambitious with that.

Halloween Ends Director Responds to Fan Backlash, Reveals Scrapped Season of the Witch-Themed Ending
Halloween Ends director David Gordon Green has responded to fan backlash that netted the streaming/theatrical release a 57 audience score on Rotten Tomatoes and a “C-” grade from TVLine readers — even as it emerged as the most-watched film or series of all time over a two-day period on the Peacock streaming service.
In theaters, Halloween Ends opened to a respectable 41.3 million, only to drop more than 80 percent this weekend.

As expected, Black Adam easily took the top spot this weekend with 67 million, representing a personal best for the always likable Dwayne Johnson in a leading role. Compared to how the weekend was originally looking, this falls more in line with our original predictions from earlier this week. If we look at the entire Dceu, the number falls in the middle of other origin stories Aquaman and Shazam! while it is a far cry from titles such as Man of Steel, Batman v Superman, Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman and even Justice League.
The good news is the film seems to be playing well with audiences who gave it a healthy 89 audience score with a B+ cinemascore. With no big releases until November 11 when Black Panther: Wakanda Forever releases (and is expected to have a massive opening) you can expect Black Adam to remain atop the box office until then.

After two movies focusing on the murder spree of Michael Myers, Halloween III: Season of the Witch transformed the franchise into an anthology series and dared to tell a story without Haddonfield’s masked killer. Season of the Witch received poor reviews at the time, particularly from fans who wanted to see the story of Michael Myers continue, but the movie has gone on to grow its own cult following who appreciate its place in the franchise. David Gordon Green’s Halloween trilogy paid tribute to Season of the Witch, but Halloween Ends came close to providing a big link between the two movies… by making Michael Myers’ mask part of the Silver Shamrock line.

"Halloween Ends" might be the most divisive entry in the "Halloween" franchise. With 13 entries, it's unlikely that "Halloween Ends" is, well, the end of Michael Myers and the seminal franchise John Carpenter started over 40 years ago. Yet, as a capstone to this most recent trilogy, "Halloween Ends" packs more than enough Easter eggs and bits of fan service to satisfy diehard franchise fanatics.
David Gordon Green's trilogy is no stranger to callbacks and homages. His first entry, the better-received "Halloween," featured a final battle that radically reworked expectations set by Carpenter's original. The shifting roles of Michael Myers and Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) and their vacillating power dynamics were thrilling. As a bonus, both "Halloween" and "Halloween Kills" feature plenty of Silver Shamrock masks, key iconographic bits from the Myers-free "Halloween 3: Season of the Witch." How Michael Myers returns next is anyone's guess, though "Halloween Ends" is...

With the release of Halloween Ends (read our review Here) in theatres and on the Peacock streaming service, Halloween fans have been delivered another divisive entry in the franchise. Some love it, some hate it. Some have even put together a petition demanding the movie be reshot entirely. No matter which way we feel about it, now we know for sure why John Carpenter described it as “a departure from the others” and why original Michael Myers performer Nick Castle said it was going to be “surprising”. Director David Gordon Green and star Jamie Lee Curtis knew all along that Halloween Ends wasn’t going to go over well with some fans – and they even warned cast member Rohan Campbell about that when he was cast a few years ago.

David Gordon Green's "Halloween Ends" caps what is known as the "H40" trilogy, breathing new life into the Michael Myers-centered "Halloween" franchise that has chugged along since John Carpenter's original horror film in 1978.
In the new trilogy, Myers — or The Shape, as he was referred to in Carpenter and Debra Hill's script for the o.g. "Halloween" — has returned to the town of Haddonfield with the same unquenchable bloodlust he's held across decades, fought Jamie Lee Curtis' Laurie Strode and the townspeople (all of this over the events of Green's "Halloween" and "Halloween Kills"), and now holes up underground to nurse his wounds. Green, along with co-writers Danny McBride, Paul Brad Logan, and Chris Bernier, brings back beloved legacy characters like Strode, who once again heads into battle with the masked psychopath who attacked her and killed her friends four decades ago. "Ends" also makes introductions...

After four years and three films, David Gordon Green's "Halloween" sequel trilogy has finally come to an end. One year after Michael's 2018 rampage throughout Haddonfield, Corey Cunningham (Rohan Campbell) is a nice, if slightly nerdy, young man who's babysitting a child named Jeremy (Jaxon Goldenberg). While playing a prank, Jeremy accidentally dies, and the town turns against Corey. With Michael Myers (James Jude Courtney) nowhere to be found, he essentially becomes Haddonfield's new boogeyman. The majority of "Halloween Ends" follows Corey three years later as he struggles to move on with his life. In the week leading up to Halloween, Corey begins a relationship with Laurie Strode's granddaughter, Allyson (Andi Matichak), and runs afoul of Michael Myers, who sends him down a dark path of murder and revenge.
"Halloween Ends" fulfills the promise of its title and provides both a definitive death for Michael and a happy conclusion to Laurie's story.

"Halloween Ends" is finally here. Fans are already taking to their keyboards to debate their conflicting takes on what feels like the most divisive film entry in the franchise since "Halloween III: Season of the Witch." The film takes some big swings and plays with genre expectations, sidelining Michael Myers (James Jude Courtney) to focus on his apprentice-copycat killer, Corey Cunningham (Rohan Campbell). There are themes of evil infecting Corey and the town, and intriguing supernatural elements teased but left purposefully vague. Will this final chapter earn cult classic status over time or remain a source of fan outrage? Only time will tell.

Spoiler Alert: This story discusses major plot points from “Halloween Ends,” which is now playing in theaters and available to stream on Peacock.
Billed as the finale to a landmark horror franchise, “Halloween Ends” was marketed with little more than the promise of a final match-up between remorseless serial killer Michael Myers and his lifelong victim Laurie Strode, played again by Jamie Lee Curtis. But many viewers were shocked to discover much more than a marquee showdown when director David Gordon Green’s horror film released last weekend. There’s also young love, a bunch of laughs and a fresh threat facing the town of Haddonfield — all courtesy of Corey Cunningham, a new character played by Rohan Campbell.
“David was so adamant on not having me on any press,” Campbell tells Variety.
When Campbell was first circling the project, he had no clue that he was auditioning for a “Halloween” film,...

“Halloween Ends” just opened in theaters, while also being made available on Universal’s streaming platform Peacock, and the response has been divisive to say the least.
The third chapter of the new trilogy (once again directed by David Gordon Green and starring Jamie Lee Curtis) made 41.3 million at the box office opening weekend, a good number for sure but lower than the studio and box office prognosticators were predicting. Critically, the results were just as middling. On Rotten Tomatoes, the movie pulled down a 41 critics score, with an audience score of 57. But “Halloween Ends” took chances; it’s not perfect but it’s more interesting and idiosyncratic than most run-of-the-mill horror fare.

The third chapter of the new trilogy (once again directed by David Gordon Green and starring Jamie Lee Curtis) made 41.3 million at the box office opening weekend, a good number for sure but lower than the studio and box office prognosticators were predicting. Critically, the results were just as middling. On Rotten Tomatoes, the movie pulled down a 41 critics score, with an audience score of 57.

This article contains minor spoilers for "Halloween Ends."
Corey Cunningham (Rohan Campbell) is the name on every horror fan's lips right now. He's the surprise, breakout character of David Gordon Green's final chapter in his reboot trilogy, "Halloween Ends." Sure, Green's trilogy might be an uneven, thematically inconsistent set of films, but Green certainly deserves some brownie points for taking large risks in his attempts to innovate the "Halloween" franchise.
In "Ends," the huge risk is centering its story away from just Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) and Michael Myers (James Jude Courtney), and exploring Haddonfield's festering anger through a new conduit. Laurie sees something in Corey's eyes, something dark and distant, something evil — not unlike her boogeyman before him.

In the span of just one weekend, it became clear that the conversation around whether "Halloween Ends" is an abysmal finale or a bold subversion of lofty expectations has no intentions of slowing down anytime soon. The moment those blue credits showed up, it sent a signal that this was going to be something different than more Michael Myers rampage, and it largely works.
As the final film in director David Gordon Green's divisive trilogy, "Halloween Ends" could have gone the safest route possible, but instead decided to show a different side to The Shape's legacy through the people of Haddonfield, even more so than in "Halloween Kills." Michael's infection of evil spread throughout the town until it led to the death of a mentally ill man and countless more of their own dead. With "Ends," the brunt of Michael's silent...
