Movie Trailer | The Craft: Legacy

As you may or may not know, I have a soft spot in my heart for movies about witch craft. So when my sister sent me the trailer for the upcoming movie The Craft: Legacy (2020) the other day, I was beyond intrigued because I'm a big fan of The Craft (1996). And since I'm now excited for it, I thought that I'd share it with all of you...

I'm not going to lie, when there were first talks about rebooting The Craft (1996) I had all sorts of nope feelings because I absolutely love the movie. But after seeing the trailer and learning it's supposed to be a sequel I'm kind of excited to see it. I definitely think I'm going to try and talk my sister into a movie night at the end of the month.

What about you? Are you as intrigued as I am or are you going to skip this sequel? Lemme know!

Movie Trailer | Candyman

As you may or may not know, I absolutely love horror movies. So when I was sent the trailer for Jordan Peele's adaptation of Bernard Rose's 1992 horror classic Candyman (2020), I was beyond excited to share it with you.

This summer, Oscar® winner Jordan Peele unleashes a fresh take on the blood-chilling urban legend that your friend’s older sibling probably told you about at a sleepover: Candyman. Rising filmmaker Nia DaCosta (Little Woods) directs this contemporary incarnation of the cult classic.       

For as long as residents can remember, the housing projects of Chicago’s Cabrini Green neighborhood were terrorized by a word-of-mouth ghost story about a supernatural killer with a hook for a hand, easily summoned by those daring to repeat his name five times into a mirror. In present day, a decade after the last of the Cabrini towers were torn down, visual artist Anthony McCoy (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II; HBO’s Watchmen, Us) and his girlfriend, gallery director Brianna Cartwright (Teyonah Parris; If Beale Street Could Talk, The Photograph), move into a luxury loft condo in Cabrini, now gentrified beyond recognition and inhabited by upwardly mobile millennials.     

With Anthony’s painting career on the brink of stalling, a chance encounter with a Cabrini Green old-timer (Colman Domingo; HBO’s Euphoria, Assassination Nation) exposes Anthony to the tragically horrific nature of the true story behind Candyman. Anxious to maintain his status in the Chicago art world, Anthony begins to explore these macabre details in his studio as fresh grist for paintings, unknowingly opening a door to a complex past that unravels his own sanity and unleashes a terrifyingly viral wave of violence that puts him on a collision course with destiny.     

Universal Pictures presents, from Metro Goldwyn Mayer Pictures and Jordan Peele and Win Rosenfeld’s Monkeypaw Productions, in association with BRON Creative, Candyman. Candyman is directed by DaCosta, and is produced by Ian Cooper (Us), Rosenfeld and Peele. The screenplay is by Peele & Rosenfeld and DaCosta. The film is based on the 1992 film Candyman, written by Bernard Rose, and the short story “The Forbidden” by Clive Barker. The film’s executive producers are David Kern, Aaron L. Gilbert and Jason Cloth.

Genre: Horror
Cast: Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Teyonah Parris, Nathan Stewart-Jarrett & Colman Domingo
Director: Nia DaCosta
Screenplay: Jordan Peele, Win Rosenfeld & Nia DaCosta
Producers: Ian Cooper, Win Rosenfeld & Jordan Peele
Executive Producer: David Kern, Aaron L. Gilbert & Jason Cloth

In general, I'm not really into most movie franchise reboots but I am 100% on board for this one because Jordan Peele is involved. The trailer for this movie literally made me squeal because it looks so good. I am very much so going to see this in theaters on June 12th.

What do you think? Are you as pumped as I am? Lemme know!

Unfriended Trailer...

Oh my, I was just sent the trailer for the upcoming movie Unfriended (2015) and I'm super all about it and I wanted to do a quick post about it because, as those of you that have been reading for awhile know, I absolutely love love love horror films and this one looks so up my alley it isn't even funny -- Yes, I know... Holy run on sentence Batman but I don't care. I literately watched this trailer and was like "Yes! I need to watch this movie when it hits theaters" and now thinking about it, I totally have to talk my mother into seeing it with me because I think she'd enjoy it too.

But yeah, sorry for rambling. Here is the trailer for those of you interested in it...


So what do you think? Does it seem like something you'd watch or am I just a horror movie freak? Lemme know!

Surviving A Horror Movie...

Halloween is in a few short days and I don't know about you but I've been binging on horror movies. And to be honest, they've got me thinking (With the help of the people over at Man Crates, who FYI have some pretty awesome manly gifts for your guy or yourself if you're like me and want a Zombie Survival Crate) about how I would fare if I was stuck in a straight out of a horror movie situation and what my own survival strategy would be -- This is kind of a lie, I'm always thinking about what I'd do during a zombie apocalypse.

So, if we were going by Scream (1996) rules I'd be screwed. Don't remember the Scream (1996) rules of surviving a horror movie? Well here is a refresher...

1. You may not survive the movie if you have sex. 
2. You may not survive the movie if you drink or do drugs.
3. You may not survive the movie if you say "I'll be right back", "Hello?" or "Who's there?"

Yeah, one and two (Not the drug part. Crack is wack) would probably do me in. Three not so much so because I'm not the kind of person to call out "Hello?" or "Who's there?!" when I should be alone. If I hear a weird sound or foot steps and I'm supposed to be home alone I'm getting the hell out of there and if I can't, I'm grabbing a big ass knife and hiding in a closet. And I'm not handling myself like Laurie Strode in Halloween (1978) when she stabs Michael Myers once and just sits in the closet for a hot second before taking her sweet ass time to get the hell out of that room. I'm stabbed whoever is after me to DEATH.

If we're talking about Zombieland (2009) rules or at least rule number one, which is cardio. I'd die (Unless I had someone to trip) because I literately cannot run to save my life.

But yeah, if there were no actual rules and it was a horror free-for-all I'd hope to have the following to aid in my survival:

• Machete (I actually would like to own one in real life in case of zombies and such but Justin won't let me have one or a gun because he is afraid I would threaten to kill people on the regular, so I hope during this horror business I was at my parents' house because my dad has one) because you can kill people, zombies, certain vampires and so on with one, plus there is no running out of ammunition.
• A reliable vehicle (Not my own car) that is full of fuel plus some & a spare tire, preferably a hard top Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with the snorkel on it so I can drive in water.
• A person ("Julia") to trip and leave behind to slow down whatever is coming after us.
• Food and first aid supplies, if it's a zombie thing.
• Fully charged cell phone plus a backup battery, to call for help.
• Access to one of my uncles' gun cabinets (My uncles all hunt), if it's a zombie thing.
• A group of friends, so we can help protect one another.
• Maps, GPS or knowledge of whatever area I am in because I don't want any Wrong Turn (2003) or House Of 1000 Corpses (2003) stuff happening.
• A crowbar because you never know when you'll need to pry something open or beat someone with one -- Hey Man Crates, send me over one of your crates for my husband (The MLB Mets Barware Crate or Retro Gamer Crate) so I can have at least a crowbar handy while I'm stuck in this horror scenario.

So yeah, those are the things I'd want if I could have a horror movie survival kit. What do you think of my list? What are your horror movie survival essentials? Lemme know!
