A couple months ago, we heard that Neca had created a figure of Tom Atkins’ character Dr. Challis from Halloween III: Season of the Witch (watch it Here) that would only be available for purchased by fans attending the Halloween: 45 Years of Terror convention. That convention has since come and gone – and now Neca has put the Challis figure up for sale on their website! The figure comes with a Silver Shamrock coaster signed by Atkins himself and can be purchased at This Link. It’s going for the price of $75.
Written and directed by Tommy Lee Wallace, Halloween III: Season of the Witch has the following synopsis: Hospital emergency room Dr. Daniel “Dan” Challis and Ellie Grimbridge, the daughter of a murder victim, uncover a terrible plot by small-town mask maker Conal Cochran, a madman who’s planning a Halloween mass murder utilizing an ancient Celtic ritual.

It’s October, and that means horror movie marathons galore. But one of the most common horror movie franchises to binge this time of year is, fittingly, the “Halloween” movies. There are 13 “Halloween” movies (and counting), as the series that began with John Carpenter’s 1978 classic has continued through various ups, downs and reboots. There are no less than five separate timelines for the events that occur in the “Halloween” series, which makes watching the ”Halloween” movies in order a tricky task.
But not to worry, we’re here to help guide you. Below, we’ve put together a guide to how to watch the “Halloween” movies in chronological order through the various different timelines. There’s the Og series, the Rob Zombie remakes and the most recent series of “Halloween” movies that see Jamie Lee Curtis reprising her role as Laurie Strode in yet another new timeline of events.

John Carpenter's 1978 horror film "Halloween" was famously inspired by 1960s serial killer films like Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho" and Powell/Pressburger's "Peeping Tom," only filtered through a low-budget, '70s grindhouse lens. Initially, "Halloween" was dismissed by audiences, but legend has it that Roger Ebert's overwhelmingly positive 1979 review saved it from obscurity. This may seem like an odd piece of trivia, given that Ebert infamously hated the slasher genre that "Halloween" helped spawn.
For the uninitiated, the original "Halloween" was about an empty-eyed young child, Michael Myers, who killed his big sister in cold blood on Halloween night in 1963. For fifteen years, Michael was kept in an insane asylum where he never spoke a word and stared blankly at a wall. Michael breaks out of the hospital in 1978, travels back to his old neighborhood, dons a creepy white-face mask, and begins stalking and murdering babysitters on Halloween night.

It’s been great having a spree of new John Carpenter albums over the last decade; we might also acknowledge that roughly half of them were tied to projects few wanted, appreciable garnishes on undercooked (or outright-frozen) meals. Alongside David Gordon Green’s Halloween trilogy and (I also forgot about this until looking it up) a Firestarter remake there’s been three rock-solid Lost Themes albums and the particularly wonderful Anthology, which reimagined his most iconic scores and those we’d kindly slot in the “otherwise” column (much as I love Vampires).
Before returning to the director’s chair / couch this month with an episode of his Peacock series Suburban Screams, Carpenter has released Anthology II (Movie Themes 1976-1988), which spans everything from his, rough estimate, 976th interpretation of “Laurie’s Theme” to a faithful, booming take on Halloween III‘s vastly underrated theme, and for obsessives there’s special...

The Halloween III: Season of the Witch episode of Wtf Happened to This Horror Movie? was Written by Cody Hamman, Narrated by Adam Walton, Edited by Jaime Vasquez, Produced by Lance Vlcek and John Fallon, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.
For two films, movie-goers watched the masked slasher Michael Myers stalk Jamie Lee Curtis and murder his way through the small town of Haddonfield on Halloween night. So you can understand that some were shocked when they went to see Halloween III and it wasn’t anything like the previous two films. Instead of more Michael Myers, they got a movie about a warlock who wanted to use the power of Stonehenge to kill millions of children. With masks that would melt their heads down into puddles of snakes and bugs. This change in direction did not go over well. For decades, Halloween III: Season of the Witch (watch it Here) was largely disregarded.

This weekend, Rob Savage (Host) brings his adaptation of Stephen King’s The Boogeyman to theaters. But for those of us who were of horror-watching age eighteen years ago (that hurts to say out loud), there was 2005’s Boogeyman… a horror film that launched an entire trilogy.
That first movie was successful enough to spawn both Boogeyman 2 and Boogeyman 3, though both sequels went straight to video here in the States. So, in honor of the upcoming The Boogeyman, let us take a look back at the Boogeymen of old. Even if they are completely and utterly unrelated in every way possible… and we cannot stress that enough.
Boogeyman (2005)
Directed by Stephen Kay, Boogeyman came to us at an interesting time for the horror genre. “Torture porn” was in full swing with Wolf Creek, Saw and Hostel all releasing. PG-13 horror competition included The Grudge, The Skeleton Key and The Exorcism of Emily Rose.

While Garn Stephens racked up over twenty screen credits over the course of her acting career, only one of those credits was on a horror movie… but what a horror movie it was. Stephens, who happened to be married to genre icon Tom Atkins at the time, played the ill-fated Marge Guttman in director Tommy Lee Wallace‘s oddball 1982 Halloween sequel Halloween III: Season of the Witch (watch it Here). Marge was the woman who was relaxing in her motel room when she made the mistake of messing with the trademark badge that fell off a Silver Shamrock mask. Sadly, Atkins has shared the news that Stephens passed away over the weekend. She was 87.
Stephens started out acting on stage, then made her screen debut playing a waitress in a 1975 episode of the TV anthology series The Wide World of Mystery. Over the decades, she landed roles in The Sunshine Boys,...

Known to horror fans for playing Marge Guttman in 1982’s beloved sequel Halloween III: Season of the Witch, actress Garn Stephens has passed away this week at the age of 87.
The wife of Halloween III star Tom Atkins at the time, Garn Stephens played a memorable role in the unique franchise installment, her character dying a very gruesome death.
Sean Clark writes on Instagram, “Got the word over the weekend from Tom Atkins that his ex-wife Garn Stephens had passed away. Many of you may remember her as Marge Gutman in Halloween III: Season of the Witch. I was lucky enough to meet her back in 2004 when I interviewed her for the Halloween 25 Years of Terror documentary.”
In addition to Halloween III, Garn Stephens also appeared in films including Portrait of a Rebel: The Remarkable Mrs. Sanger, The Seduction of Miss Leona, Children in the Crossfire, Killer Instinct, and Something to Live For: The Alison Gertz Story...

There was a time when USA Network steadily churned out solid, comfort food-style original programming that was generally referred to as its "Blue Sky Era." The shows were light, breezy, and fun. That era ran for about a decade before coming to a close in 2016, and included shows like "Burn Notice," "White Collar," and of course, the show that kicked it all off, "Monk." While the Blue Sky Era may be over, one of its shows has somehow, somewhat miraculously kept chugging along: "Psych."
Even though the series ended in 2014, the cult hit comedy about a fake psychic detective named Shawn Spencer and his best friend and (often unwilling) partner Gus developed such a rabid fanbase that the creative team behind the show has managed to churn out three made-for-tv films, which came out in 2017, 2020, and 2021.

Killer machines are a narrative trope about as old as machinery itself, but there’s something especially creepy about metallic killers when they’re roughly human-shaped. And as we’ve seen with the success of Blumhouse’s insanely popular M3GAN, the uncanny valley can still go a long way when it comes to attracting modern audiences.
With that in mind, we’ve decided to celebrate the home release of M3GAN with a list of six other memorable killer androids in horror movies. After all, these man-made movie monsters evolved alongside Hollywood’s understanding of technology, so we’ve seen some pretty interesting homicidal automatons over the years.
Obviously, this list is based on personal opinion, but we’ll still be following a couple of rules. First of all, we’ll be excluding cyborgs from the list, as their human bits make them a completely different kind of character. Second, we...
