Happy Halloween! It’s a Holiday Smash!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN from everyone at Bloody Disgusting!
I was planning on just sharing this gem of a video that will put a tear in your eye, but came across another handful of [Random Cool]-eque news bits that are completely worthy of this holiday Monday.
Read on to take a gander at the terrifying new spoof, “Normal Activity“. You’ll also find a Halloween gift from artists Gris Grimly (entitled “The Dangers of Halloween”), a pretty awesome minimalist costume, a fan Ghostbusters video, and a graphic featuring “Halloween by the Numbers”. Gris Grimly and the MCP Crew wish you a safe and happy Halloween. Created by Gris Grimly and Jim Kunz. The instrumental version of “Bad Blood” was composed and performed by Creature Feature and can be found on their latest album “It was a Dark and Stormy Night”.

Death of a Ghostbuster: The end of Wendy’s ghostbusting career may be too much for her to handle.
How Many Pumpkin Seeds? Halloween by the Numbers: Have you ever wondered how many seeds are in each pumpkin? Have you pondered the amount of candy consumed by an American in a year or the number of parents who admit to sneaking some of that candy out of their kids trick-or-treat bags? If you’re that kind of person this graphic has it all. – Visual News.

Have a Normal Activity Halloween from Tommyxvx:
Just three years after Evil Dead Rise set the box office on fire with a $147 million worldwide haul, Evil Dead Burn was unleashed into theaters this past weekend. Unfortunately, the opening weekend for Evil Dead Burn wasn’t quite as strong as the debut for its predecessor.
Evil Dead Burn debuted in 3,004 theaters across North America and scared up $13.7 million in its domestic debut, about $10 million less than Evil Dead Rise‘s $24.5 million opening.
Worldwide, Evil Dead Burn debuted with $25 million. Given the film’s production budget was somewhere in the ballpark of $20 million, all is certainly not lost for Evil Dead Burn. That said, Warner Bros. and New Line no doubt hoped that Burn would top or at least match the domestic opening of Rise, but instead we’re looking at a case of diminishing franchise returns.
The good news for fans? Next installment Evil Dead Wrath has already wrapped production for expected release in 2028, so there’s no danger of the franchise ending with Evil Dead Burn.
Evil Dead Wrath from director Francis Galluppi (The Last Stop in Yuma County) is currently set for theatrical release on April 7, 2028, though that could change in the coming months.
Will the Evil Dead franchise be taking a break after Evil Dead Wrath? That all depends on how Wrath performs at the box office. But for what it’s worth, the post-credits scene at the end of Evil Dead Burn suggests that the franchise’s creators are hopeful for a bright future ahead.
The critical reception for Evil Dead Burn was a bit less positive than the reception to Evil Dead Rise, with Rise hitting 85% on Rotten Tomatoes and Burn currently sitting at 71%. It’s interesting to note, however, that the “Popcornmeter” on Rotten Tomatoes is a bit higher for Burn than it was for Rise, with Burn‘s currently at 80% and Rise‘s sitting a tad lower at 76%.
The site’s “Popcornmeter” scores are decided by users, rather than verified movie critics.
