REVIEW: WB's Horror Made Here - A Festival of Frights


When it comes to the LA haunt scene, we may not have much in the way of mazes set in actual abandoned or historical buildings, but we do have one asset that sets us apart from pretty much every other city in the world: Hollywood, baby! This is the epicenter of The Industry, and if you've seen it on screens big or small, there's a pretty good chance it was made on a lot in southern California. Small towns especially; from Haddonfield to Stars Hollow, your favorite quaint suburbs may look like middle America, but they're actually as West Coast as you can get. So it's actually kind of surprising that more movie studios haven't gotten in on the act for Halloween. In fact, for years Universal Studios' Halloween Horror Nights ran pretty much unchallenged as the Hollywood Home of Halloween Horror. But no more.

Universal, keep an eye on that crown of yours, because Warner Bros. is hot on your heels with Horror Made Here.

Classic Monsters Group Art Show at Halloween Town


Halloween Town, also known as my Favorite Store in the World, always has cool art on display in their Parlour Gallery - in the past, they've done tributes to Halloween (the holiday, not the film), Edgar Allan Poe, Disney's Haunted Mansion and more. Now they're set to unveil an all-new show on Saturday, December 1st, and it might be their best yet. The theme? Classic Monsters! In addition to the already impressive roster of artists, including special effects legend Rick Baker, there will be artwork by Rob Zombie (but fanboys and girls, be advised that Mr. Zombie himself will not be in attendance).

The opening night reception runs from 7 to 11pm, with artwork on display through December 30. Halloween Town is located at 2921 Magnolia Blvd. in Burbank, CA, and the Parlour Art Gallery is free to visit.
