It’s a full moon tonight. That’s when all the weirdos are out.

There are a small handful of movies that absolutely personify everything we love about Halloween, with John Carpenter’s Halloween (duh) and Michael Dougherty’s Trick ‘r Treat being my personal favorite October watches.

And then there’s of course Disney’s Hocus Pocus, the 1993 classic about three lovable witches who are resurrected in Salem, Massachusetts on Halloween night.

Fans of the Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy-starring film will be happy to know that Spirit Halloween and Disney have partnered up for a massive collection of Halloween 2017 goodies inspired by the film.

The collection includes costumes, masks, wigs and all kinds of home decor ranging from salt & pepper shakers to fleece blankets!

Check out the entire 55-item collection over on Spirit Halloween!

Dev Patel’s ‘Monkey Man’ Is Now Available to Watch at Home!

After pulling in $28 million at the worldwide box office this month, director (and star) Dev Patel’s critically acclaimed action-thriller Monkey Man is now available to watch at home.

You can rent Monkey Man for $19.99 or digitally purchase the film for $24.99!

Monkey Man is currently 88% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with Bloody Disgusting’s head critic Meagan Navarro awarding the film 4.5/5 stars in her review out of SXSW back in March.

Meagan raves, “While the violence onscreen is palpable and painful, it’s not just the exquisite fight choreography and thrilling action set pieces that set Monkey Man apart but also its political consciousness, unique narrative structure, and myth-making scale.”

“While Monkey Man pays tribute to all of the action genre’s greats, from the Indonesian action classics to Korean revenge cinema and even a John Wick joke or two, Dev Patel’s cultural spin and unique narrative structure leave behind all influences in the dust for new terrain,” Meagan’s review continues.

She adds, “Monkey Man presents Dev Patel as a new action hero, a tenacious underdog with a penetrating stare who bites, bludgeons, and stabs his way through bodies to gloriously bloody excess. More excitingly, the film introduces Patel as a strong visionary right out of the gate.”

Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.

Monkey Man is produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions.
