Laurie‘s back! Just released is this brand-new Trailer for HALLOWEEN ENDS!

Synopsis:

This is Laurie Strode’s last stand.

After 45 years, the most acclaimed, revered horror franchise in film history reaches its epic, terrifying conclusion as Laurie Strode faces off for the last time against the embodiment of evil, Michael Myers, in a final confrontation unlike any captured on-screen before. Only one of them will survive.

Icon Jamie Lee Curtis returns for the last time as Laurie Strode, horror’s first “final girl” and the role that launched Curtis’ career. Curtis has portrayed Laurie for more than four decades now, one of the longest actor-character pairings in cinema history. When the franchise relaunched in 2018, Halloween shattered box office records, becoming the franchise’s highest-grossing chapter and set a new record for the biggest opening weekend for a horror film starring a woman.

Four years after the events of last year’s Halloween Kills, Laurie is living with her granddaughter Allyson (Andi Matichak) and is finishing writing her memoir. Michael Myers hasn’t been seen since. Laurie, after allowing the specter of Michael to determine and drive her reality for decades, has decided to liberate herself from fear and rage and embrace life. But when a young man, Corey Cunningham (Rohan Campbell; The Hardy Boys, Virgin River), is accused of killing a boy he was babysitting, it ignites a cascade of violence and terror that will force Laurie to finally confront the evil she can’t control, once and for all.

Halloween Ends co-stars returning cast Will Patton as Officer Frank Hawkins, Kyle Richards as Lindsey Wallace and James Jude Courtney as The Shape.

From the creative team that relaunched the franchise with 2018’s Halloween and Halloween Kills, the film is directed by David Gordon Green from a screenplay by Paul Brad Logan (Manglehorn), Chris Bernier (The Driverseries), Danny McBride and David Gordon Green, based on characters created by John Carpenter and Debra Hill. Halloween Ends is produced by Malek Akkad, Jason Blum and Bill Block. The executive producers are John Carpenter, Jamie Lee Curtis, Danny McBride, David Gordon Green, Ryan Freimann, Ryan Turek, Andrew Golov, Thom Zadra and Christopher H. Warner.

Among the different musical instruments out there, electric violins are becoming more popular these days. They allow you to play your violin in a totally new way and can really help you get out of your musical ideas. They’re great for beginners because they’re just like regular violins, but with a little bit of electricity. They’re also great for people who already play the violin but want to make their music more exciting. Electric violins are also good for people who love to play their violin at home but don’t want to annoy anyone else in their neighborhood. Aside from these facts, there are even more cool things you can do with your electric violin.

The electric violin is an amazing instrument. It’s been around for years, but it’s still making an impact in the music industry. Here are 4 cool things you can do with electric violins:

Practice in silence

Electric violins are great for practicing in silence because they give you the option to play without having any background noise. You can plug an electric violin into a speaker system or just use headphones if you want to keep it quiet. You can also use your computer and plug it in so that you can add effects like reverb or distortion. You have the freedom to choose how much or how little help from outside sources you want during practice time.

Sound playability

You can customize the sound of your violin by adjusting the settings on your violin and playing it through an amplifier or effects pedals. This is a great way to get creative and experiment with different sounds. Experimenting with different genres is also one of the cool things you can do with electric violins. You can experiment with different sounds and styles, from rock to classical to jazz and see which ones you like best.  Just grab your best electric violin and start having fun with your instrument.

Clean and direct sound to your computer

One cool thing you can enjoy with electric violins is clean and direct sound using your computer. Sound can be directed to your computer by using a USB cable, which allows you to record your performances and listen to them over headphones or speakers. The advantage of this is that you can record yourself playing an instrument but then also listen to it as if you were listening to a CD.

Recording is possible

Electric violins have a built-in preamp, which means they don’t need to be plugged into an amplifier. This makes them perfect for recording since you don’t have to worry about getting tangled up in cords or having a noisy environment. You’ll also hear what you’re playing much better than on an acoustic violin, which means your recordings will sound better.

Conclusion

After reading the discussion, there are a lot of cool things you can do with electric violins. They are a great way to get started with music and have fun while doing it. You can use them at home or take them on the go. Electric violins are a great way to bring some new life into your music. You can add effects and sounds that you might not have been able to get with other types of instruments, and it’s a lot of fun to experiment with them. If you’re looking for a new challenge or just want to try something different, electric violins are definitely worth checking out.

We’ve been meaning to get around to this for the longest time, but then Pride happened and things got a bit hectic. We loved both the 2000 American version of the Showtime Series, filmed right here in Toronto, and also the original 1999 Channel 4 Series. I remember distinctly sneaking downstairs into the living room while Mom and Dad slept, and watching it with the volume down low late at night. The Series meant so much to me growing-up because there weren’t many LGBTQ+ characters on TV and here I was immersed entirely in these fictional worlds, waiting eagerly for the next episode. If only they knew the way they’d pave eventually for LGBTQ+ Storytellers today and the conversations they would enable in a generation to follow. And here we are today with a new reimaging of Queer as Folk from Peacock, speaking to yet another generation.

At the center of this new Series are Brodie (Devin Way), Noah (Johnny Sibilly) and Mingus (Fin Argus), our new Love Triangle. Brodie returns to New Orleans after quitting Medical School, reuniting with his ex Noah and the two have some unresolved issues in their relationship to work out. Their lives are intertwined further and changed irreversibly when tragedy strikes at a night club where their friend Daddius is shot to death. Trauma Queens, if you will. Brodie and Mingus narrowly escape death. And the Series focuses on how these central characters cope and navigate the pain of loss, ever-present Homophobia in the community they live, and also the dynamics of their own strained relationships with themselves amongst themselves. We meet also Ruthie (Jesse James Keitel.. a relative of Harvey) who is a Trans woman navigating the tragedy also and becoming a new mother with her partner Shar (CG). And yes, the baby is Brodie‘s.

In many ways, this new Series is louder and prouder than its Predecessors, but the humour is just as biting and cruel, true to brand. And it isn’t just gay white men at the center of this world. We get so involved with these characters and their complicated lives that we forget just how diverse this Cast actually is. The Series goes a layer deeper in its exploration how these characters process grief and the post-trauma. Tonally, they get it right, self-aware of its own cynicism towards things like those using the tragedy to serve themselves, but it becomes heartfelt where it matters and is appropriate. We see and hear the course-corrections it makes, necessitating a reboot today, whether it be calling-out misgendering or acknowledging disability.

We love Sibilly from HBO Max’s HACKS and are thrilled he gets the space to flex his craft here as Noah, who knows Brodie is wrong for him but welcomes him back into his world. This is a great introduction to Way as well who carries much of the weight as the Series’ Protagonist. He’s flawed and figuring it out and that’s what keeps us invested. But how about this Supporting Cast? Familiar faces like Kim Cattrall as Brodie‘s quirky mom is a real treat, as is Juliette Lewis as Mingus’ mother – also eccentric, but both undeniably cool. And yes, we think we recognize Ed Begley Jr. as Brodie‘s dad!

Though QUEER AS FOLK premiered late June, it’s not too late to get caught-up on STACKTV. New episodes air in Canada Sundays 9 PM ET on Showcase.
