Crimson Peak is a gothic romance horror film about “A woman’s (Mia Wasikowska) heart is stolen by a seductive stranger (Tom Hiddleston), she is swept away to a house atop a mountain of blood-red clay: a place ?lled with secrets that will haunt her forever. Between desire and darkness, between mystery and madness, lies the truth behind Crimson Peak.” I personally LOVE the works of Guillermo Del Toro and how the worlds he creates in his films are so amazing and imaginative.

But I am VERY excited for this movie because I grew up reading the Goosebumps books and watching the television show. I absolutely love the premise of the film because when you open up one of R.L. Stine’s (Jack Black) original manuscripts of his stories… those monsters escape from the books and are unleashed to wreak havoc upon the world! Very excited to see this film this October…

By the man who brought you the infamous Trick ‘r Treat (Michael Dougherty) brings you a new terror to fear during the holidays. Legendary Pictures presents, Krampus, a darkly festive tale of a yuletide ghoul that reveals an irreverently twisted side to the holiday. When his dysfunctional family clashes over the holidays, young Max (Emjay Anthony) is disillusioned and turns his back on Christmas. Little does he know, this lack of festive spirit has unleashed the wrath of Krampus: a demonic force of ancient evil intent on punishing non-believers. All hell breaks loose as beloved holiday icons take on a monstrous life of their own, laying siege to the fractured family’s home and forcing them to fight for each other if they hope to survive.” Super excited to see the Krampus being brought to life by the people who created the menacing Sam from Trick ‘r Treat. This will be the most anticipated X-Mas horror film this year… look out Gremlins and Jack Skellington… a new monster is looking to take over X-Mas.

 

Thank you for joining me on this journey through the Horror films that will be unleashed on the silver screen this OCTOBER! Hope you all have a wonderfully spooky day and see you soon In The Dark!
