Celebrate Halfway To Halloween With Movies In Novi
Yes, it’s halfway to Halloween. While some people are looking forward to summer activities, as am I, I’m also looking forward to the changing fall colors and horror movies!
I cannot wait for the latest installment of the Terrifier series. This time, Art The Clown is decked out in Santa garb so it’s going to revolve around Christmas. This is going to be good!
This weekend, the Emigine Theater in Novi is celebrating with showings of Halloween from 1978 as well as the one from 2018, with the Michael Myers actors Nick Castle and James Jude Courtney. Nick is the original Michael, and James is the character in the 2018 film. They’re showing double headers of the movie, along with a Q&A at 5 pm. 6 pm, and 7 pm. The 6 and 7 pm shows are sold out. Tickets for these double-feature Q&A events are priced at $30 and can be purchased at www.emagine-entertainment.com.
Fun fact: Zach Myers from Shinedown is a huge Halloween movie franchise fan, although he’s told me he’s not a horror fan. In the last Halloween movie, he made a tiny cameo.
Zach is the best. We have so many mutual friends, it’s crazy! Of course, we have to talk “Halloween” movies.
It’s Halfway To Halloween And Here Are TheMovies I’ve Seen This Year
So far this year I’ve seen several horror movies, with the latest being Bloodline Killer. I’ve watched Abigail, Night Swim, Thorns, Late Night With The Devil, Imaginary, Ghostbusters (not really horror), and The First Omen. That one might be my favorite so far. I’m looking forward to Trap, MaXXXine from the X series which I really like, Beatlejuice Beatlejuice, and some others. Yes, I’m a sucker for a solid horror flick.
Hit me up with some of your favorite horror movies that you’ve seen either in the theater or at home streaming. In the meantime, check out my friend’s crazy walk-through haunted maze he made in his yard last year. It’s Nuts!
Plymouth Home Becomes Insane Haunted House/Yard For Halloween
My friend, Otto, has invited me over to his haunted house for years. I finally got the chance to swing by on Saturday afternoon during the off-hours. All I can say is WOW! This place is totally nuts! I think it took me about a solid thirty minutes to walk through the whole thing, as he showed me different gimmicks and animatronics.
I asked him how many pieces he thought he had in total. His response was that he had no clue. I can believe it. It’s just room after room of zombies, clowns, horror film characters, and lots more.
It’s open to the public and it’s free, but he does have a donation box for anyone who wants to drop a few bucks in to cover his time, repairs, and electric bills. He does this every year just for the love of it.
Here’s the info….
- It’s located at 15443 Robinwood Dr in Plymouth. (Off of Five Mile rd between Haggerty and Northville rd)
- The hours are 6:30-7:30 no scarers
- 7:30-10:30 with scarers
Take the family out there and see it for yourself….if you dare! (evil laugh)
Here are some pictures from my daytime visit.
Meltdown started on the mighty WRIF on the evening of Halloween, 1995. Technically, his first on-air shift was the morning of November 1st. Moving to the Motor City from Buffalo, N.Y., he has built a career and family. Over his almost three-decade stint at RIFF, he's had the privilege to work with some of the biggest personalities in Detroit radio history. He boasts of being just the second-afternoon drive jock in the station's illustrious 53-year history.
Along with his love for rock music and attending concerts, he's also an avid Harley-Davidson enthusiast and hockey player. He plays year-round and manages to squeeze in a few charity games throughout the year. Meltdown writes about the Detroit Red Wings, rock music, and Detroit concert venues.
