Halloween 2018 is almost over...random thoughts left stirring..not much innovation regarding Halloween candy, in my opinion, though I liked Russell Stover's candy corn-flavored marshmallow with white chocolate-shell pumpkins. I also liked M&M's candy corn-flavored white chocolate-shell candies. The combination is tastier than it sounds, despite the fact that white chocolate is not actually made of chocolate. So candy corn can be delightful when blended with something that cancels out it's dry taste.
Not much innovation regarding Halloween specials for television. All is right with the world (or, depending on your perspective on current events, there's still hope) if It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown is still airing annually on network television.
There's more viewing options regarding movies these days. People are trying to make a big deal of the 90's Disney movie, Hocus Pocus. It has it's moments, sure, but maybe the reboot will improve on it...oh, sure, don't be surprised...I can see it happening...Disney tested the waters with a sequel novel, but I can imagine Tina Fey, Rebel Wilson and Aubrey Plaza as the new Sanderson sisters...or maybe do a race swap and reimagine the Sanderson witches as voodoo priestesses, instead...or just do Goosebumps 3 with a more substantial role for Jack Black this time around, assuming he's not busy filming the sequel to The House With A Clock In It's Walls, which, at a glance, looked like a movie starring Paul Dini & Misty Lee (that would be neat), though it's success means Puffin/Penguin/Putnam with hopefully reissue the John Bellairs novel in hardcover, because paperbacks age terribly.
And I'm still wondering why Blumhouse didn't cast Danielle Harris alongside Jamie Lee Curtis in that Halloween reboot film...saving Jamie Lloyd for the next reboot, I guess, since having an older version of Laurie's daughter from Halloween 4 confront Michael Myers and/or team-up with Laurie is one of the few new sequel ideas in that Trick or Treat pumpkin bucket.
I hope you all had a happy Halloween this year. Don't try to finish all the candy at once. Goodnight! ;)
