Petition Reads: “Remove The Slaughtering of Firefighters From ‘Halloween Kills'”

Published

Halloween Kills

It seems some people aren’t as excited about the newest Halloween movie as we are. Specifically, people who feel that firefighters should have immunity against a masked serial killer who has supernatural powers.

Jessie Streeter created a request to “stop the slaughtering of firefighters” at petition.org this past June. The petition has recently caught online momentum as opening day for Halloween Kills draws nearer.

Streeter says they are becoming a firefighter and it’s disrespectful to kill one, especially after one tried to save the killer’s life. The scene in question comes presumably at the beginning of the film when our Final Woman Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) is being whisked away to the hospital after having blown up her house in order to kill Michael Myers.

Let’s let them explain it in their own words:

“I want the scene in the new movie Halloween Kills where they show the Slaughtering of firefighters. It is wrong because firefighters have been lured to houses fire and murdered by the person who set the fire. And it’s wrong that Michael killed the firefighters with the gear from the other firefighters he killed. As a soon to be firefighter I find it very offensive and so does my mom and dad who are retired firefighters. So I want that scene taken out of the movie. Michael didn’t have to kill them in a way they saved him so he should have saved the two firefighters in the house and went on his way to kill sister. There is no reason for that horrible disgusting scene. Especially since it has happened in real life. Like I said before firefighters have been lured to house fires and killed by some psycho in real life.”

The plea has already garnered only 12 signatures out of the 100 needed to be featured on the site. Recently some have left comments, mocking the petitioner for the appeal with name-calling and nasty language.

One person even asked: “Can we start a petition to end this petition? This is dumber than Halloween Resurrection.”

Well yes, actually there is one. Titled: “Stop the petition to remove the slaughtering of firefighters in Halloween Kills 2021,” it was started by Brandi Slavens this past Wednesday as buzz for Halloween Kills harnesses some real fan energy.

Here’s Brandi’s plea:

“Recently a petition has started on change.org to have the slaughtering of firefighters removed from the new Halloween movie, Halloween kills (releasing October 15, 2021). I’d like it stopped as almost every person murdered in every horror movie ever had an occupation… Murder is what these movies are about obviously. Literally nobody is being hurt in the making of this movie I assure you. The whole petition is stupid. I’m very certain there is a huge crowd of Halloween fans who will agree. Y’all help me keep Michael Meyers on business….thanks.”

So tell us what you think about all of this dear readers,  and let us know if you’re going to see Halloween Kills at the theater or stream it on Peacock on October 15, 2021.

Trailer for ‘The Exorcism’ Has Russell Crowe Possessed

Published

on

The latest exorcism movie is about to drop this summer. It’s aptly titled The Exorcism and it stars Academy Award winner turned B-movie savant Russell Crowe. The trailer dropped today and by the looks of it, we are getting a possession movie that takes place on a movie set.

Just like this year’s recent demon-in-media-space film Late Night With the Devil, The Exorcism happens during a production. Although the former takes place on a live network talk show, the latter is on an active sound stage. Hopefully, it won’t be entirely serious and we’ll get some meta chuckles out of it.

The film will open in theaters on June 7, but since Shudder also acquired it, it probably won’t be long after that until it finds a home on the streaming service.

Crowe plays, “Anthony Miller, a troubled actor who begins to unravel while shooting a supernatural horror film. His estranged daughter, Lee (Ryan Simpkins), wonders if he’s slipping back into his past addictions or if there’s something more sinister at play. The film also stars Sam Worthington, Chloe Bailey, Adam Goldberg and David Hyde Pierce.”

Crowe did see some success in last year’s The Pope’s Exorcist mostly because his character was so over-the-top and infused with such comical hubris it bordered on parody. We will see if that is the route actor-turned-director Joshua John Miller takes with The Exorcism.

’28 Years Later’ Trilogy Taking Shape With Serious Star Power

Published

on

28 years later

Danny Boyle is revisiting his 28 Days Later universe with three new films. He will direct the first, 28 Years Later, with two more to follow. Deadline is reporting that sources say Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes have been cast for the first entry, a sequel to the original. Details are being kept under wraps so we don’t know how or if the first original sequel 28 Weeks Later fits into the project.

Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Ralph Fiennes

Boyle will direct the first movie but it’s unclear which role he will take on in the subsequent films. What is known is Candyman (2021) director Nia DaCosta is scheduled to direct the second film in this trilogy and that the third will be filmed immediately afterward. Whether DaCosta will direct both is still unclear.

Alex Garland is writing the scripts. Garland is having a successful time at the box office right now. He wrote and directed the current action/thriller Civil War which was just knocked out of the theatrical top spot by Radio Silence’s Abigail.

There is no word yet on when, or where, 28 Years Later will start production.

28 Days Later

The original film followed Jim (Cillian Murphy) who wakes from a coma to find that London is currently dealing with a zombie outbreak.
