According to her Instagram, Jamie is set to host a virtual Halloween parade this year! Check out the text below, and check back later for additional news once we have it.
Since COVID put the kibosh on much of the HALLOWEEN festivities, this year we can stay home safe AND celebrate. I’ll be hosting a virtual Halloween costume parade here on my Instagram page, and I want YOU to be a part of it. Stay tuned for more details later this month, but get your costumes ready.
As the market for niche and boutique releases grow, it’s only natural that we get to see more and more of Jamie’s films get new releases. Though Scream Factory has already released Roadgames on Blu-Ray as part of their Collector’s Edition series, Powerhouse Films is bringing it to Region B with their Indicator series. This release also features a new transfer of the film, as well as all new special features. Check out the details below:
Please note that this release will be Region B locked, meaning you must either own a Region B capable player or a region free player. Additionally, once the limited edition of 3000 copies sells out, Powerhouse Films will offer a standard edition at a later date. That release will not include the poster or the booklet.
You can pre-order the release directly through Powerhouse’s website, Amazon UK or Zavvi!
Despite Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends being pushed back a year, this September is seeing “new” home video releases of the original classic, as well as Curse, H20 and Resurrection!
First up is a Best Buy exclusive steelbook of Halloween‘s 4K UHD release on September 29, which features the 2013 transfer for the UHD disc and contains the 2007 Blu-Ray as its second disc. Check out the artwork below, and click the link to pre-order your copy!
For those who don’t know, Paramount recently came into possession of the Miramax home video library for distribution purposes. First up on their agenda is a re-release of the infamous Echo Bridge triple feature on September 22, that features all three films presented in 1080i (rather than 1080p) on one disc, and has open matted transfers for H20 and Resurrection.
While I don’t personally recommend it unless you really want to see alternate versions of the films, it’ll most likely be around $10 USD. Check out the link below as well.

Unfortunate, but expected news, has broke today. Though the film was reportedly finished, Universal has officially postponed the release of Halloween Kills until October 15, 2021, and Halloween Ends to October 14, 2022.
In a statement on his Twitter, John Carpenter announces the delay, while also revealing the film will get an IMAX release next year. He then went on to share a brief clip of footage from the film, suggesting that it will pick up directly from the ending of the 2018 film.
Exciting news! It was just confirmed earlier this evening that Jamie Lee Curtis is set to make her directorial debut with a horror film under Blumhouse’s label!
The film, entitled Mother Nature, is part of the three-year first-look deal that her label, Comet Pictures, have with Blumhouse. Blumhouse is the distributor of the David Gordon Green Halloween trilogy that involves Halloween (2018), Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends, so my hunch is the deal may have had something to do with her signing on for those films.
Ryan Turek, a producer on Halloween Kills as part of the creative team on Blumhouse, confirmed via his Twitter that there is, in fact, going to be a novelization of Halloween Kills, continuing with the novelization that was also released for Halloween in 2018.
During Saturday’s Halloween Tweet-a-Thon, David Gordon Green offered some updates on the upcoming Halloween Kills when asked by some fans. They’re currently finalizing the trailer for the film, and he’s putting the polishing touches on the shooting script for 2021’s Halloween Ends. Though the film is scheduled for release this October, they’re working on some contingency plans in case a theatrical release still doesn’t seem possible.
Check out a few of the Tweets talking about the films below, and let’s keep our fingers crossed we’ll see get the 12th instalment on the big screens this fall!
