John Carpenter Says Halloween Ends Is Pretty Definitive: ‘They Really Want It To End’ Universal Pictures By Joshua Meyer/Feb. 21, 2022 8:20 pm EST Michael Myers is seemingly unkillable. There are already a dozen “Halloween” movies, with a (lucky or unlucky?) 13th installment, “Halloween Ends,” on the way this October. While the title of “Halloween Ends” might suggest a definite denouement for David Gordon Green’s recent trilogy — which began with the 2018 “Halloween” and continued last year with “Halloween Kills” — the franchise has been going for over 40 years, and future sequels would seem like a foregone conclusion....

The Buffy Episode That Nearly Broke James Marsters 20th Television By Joshua Meyer/March 10, 2022 10:00 am EST Perhaps the single most controversial episode of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” was also the most difficult one to film for James Marsters, the actor who played Spike.
