LA Readers!! See ‘Halloween 2’ On 35mm This Saturday Night!!
You know you love Halloween 2. Even if you haven’t seen it, if you’re here you love it. Which is why, if you live in Los Angeles, you should head over to the New Beverly Cinema (7165 Beverly Blvd, Los Angeles CA 90036) to see the continuing adventures of Laurie Strode! While it’s not quite as good as the original Halloween it has the benefit of picking up exactly where that film left off, which means no bullsh*tting around. It also has more gore courtesy of new director Rick Rosenthal and it was even written by John Carpenter and Debra Hill (even though he states he needed a 6-pack a night to make it through the process).
Bloody-Disgusting alum Brian Collins will be presenting the film as part of his Horror-Movie-A-Day screening series at the New Beverly Cinema. Tickets (which you can buy here) are only $8 – so this is a win-win scenario for you. It all goes down this Saturday, October 27th at 11:59PM. The print will be 35MM.
Head inside for a trailer and the event poster!

‘Ebenezer’ Official Trailer – Ti West Turns Johnny Depp into ‘A Christmas Carol’ Icon Scrooge
Ti West (X, Pearl, MaXXXine) is back with the upcoming Ebenezer starring Johnny Depp, a fresh new take on the classic tale of A Christmas Carol from Charles Dickens.
Johnny Depp will play Ebenezer Scrooge in Ti West’s Ebenezer, and Paramount is bringing the film to theaters on November 13, 2026. Watch the official trailer down below.
The tagline? “The name you know. The story you don’t.”
Andrea Riseborough (Possessor), Ian McKellen (The Lord of the Rings), Tramell Tillman (“Severance”), Rupert Grint (Harry Potter franchise), Daisy Ridley (Star Wars franchise), Sam Claflin (The Hunger Games franchise), Charlie Murphy (“Peaky Blinders”), Arthur Conti (Beetlejuice Beetlejuice), and Ellie Bamber (“Willow”) also star.
Deadline had detailed in a recent report, “This version, a thrilling ghost story set in Dickens’ London, follows one man’s supernatural journey to face his past, present and future and fight for a second chance. Stephen Deuters and Jason Forman to executive produce.”
Nathaniel Halpern wrote the adaptation for Ti West to direct.
Written by Charles Dickens, the classic tale of A Christmas Carol has been adapted for the screen countless times over the years, with notable film adaptations including Scrooge (1951) starring Alastair Sim, Scrooge (1970) starring Albert Finney, A Christmas Carol (1984) starring George C. Scott, Scrooged (1988) starring Bill Murray, The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992) starring Michael Caine, and A Christmas Carol (2009) starring Jim Carrey.
A Christmas Carol is classically a period piece ghost story. As Luiz H.C. wrote here on Bloody Disgusting, “Isn’t it weird how the single most influential piece of Christmas-related media is technically a horror story? One can even make the argument that Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol paved the way for the rise of Victorian Spiritualism during the following decade.”
