Surprise Teaser Trailer! Ti West Reveals MaXXXine as the Final Installment of “X” Trilogy

Surprise Teaser Trailer! Ti West Reveals MaXXXine as the Final Installment of "X" Trilogy

Well, this was a surprise! Before most of us have even seen the highly anticipated PEARL prequel to Ti West’s “X” film due out September 16th, 2022, the director revealed a third film in the franchise; a direct sequel to “X” entitled MaXXXine is on the way last night after the Toronto International Film Festival premiere of PEARL.

According to the press release, the film is written and directed by Ti West with Mia Goth reprising one of her two roles in X. The film follows Maxine (Goth), after the events of X, as the sole survivor who continues her journey towards fame setting out to make it as an actress in 1980s Los Angeles.

Gotta dig that “Obsession” musical cue in the trailer as I have no doubt, probably holds a mightier significance than just an 80s cold opener intro for a trailer.

PEARL world premiered at the Venice Film Festival to universal acclaim and had its North American premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on Monday. The film releases nationwide Friday, September 16. It is a prequel set decades before the grisly events of X, Mia Goth returns as the future psycho-biddy Pearl, here a starry-eyed farm girl with a short fuse and a deadly ambition.

MaXXXine is produced by A24, Jacob Jaffke with Ti West, and executive produced by Mia Goth. Additional producers include Kevin Turen and Harrison Kreiss.

Nightmare Nostalgia’s 2022 Big Halloween Giveaway!

It’s that time again nostalgic nuggets! A little more than five years ago, I started this blog after writing for various horror outlets as a means to express myself fully as well as a useful therapy tool. Because, hey… nothing makes me happier than talking about Halloween, horror movies, and retro pop culture of yesteryear. Well, maybe except giving away stuff and this year is a doozy! Throughout the year, I scavage through antique, thrift stores, and the internet to find just the right treasures to give to one lucky fan during the Halloween season, and I think I may have outdone myself this time around. Nothing really makes me happier than making other people smile and boy I could use it this time around,

I recently lost my best friend of 14 years, my little old lady and emotional-support animal, Lydia. Things have been very tough for me since having to cope with this devastating loss so with this website reaching a milestone of five wonderful years and over 50,000 followers, I wanted to express my gratitude to those who offered some kind words during this difficult time. The same people who have been following my incoherent ramblings for close to a decade now. So thank you truly from the bottom of my dark heart for that. And with respect, I wanted to dedicate this Halloween haul to the little pup who always sat in my lap while writing these trash articles for you guys.

Michael Myers And Laurie Square Off In First “Halloween Ends” Trailer!

Welp. We’re a day early, but not a buck short as the official first look at Blumhouse’s Halloween Ends just dropped and it’s already looking miles better than Kills even with just over a glimpse of a minute!

One full glorious minute of Myers and Laurie going Kill fucking Bill on each other offers just a shadow of what we may expect as we know this is Jamie Lee Curtis’ last hurrah in the Halloween franchise once and for all as the actress stated on her Instagram:

“A bittersweet END for me on the ‘Halloween’ movies. I’ve made great friends and have collaborated with wonderful artists on these three movies and today my part in the film has been completed and with it the END for me of this trilogy.”

Will Michael end Laurie’s character in the final installment, or will evil die tonight? Universal Pictures’ HALLOWEEN ENDS premieres theatrically on October 14, 2022.
