Spirit Halloween Movie Gets Spookier With Unsettling New Monster Designs

The upcoming Spirit Halloween movie unveils three spooky designs of the possessed animatronic monsters that will haunt one unlucky group of kids. Back to the Future star Christopher Lloyd will headline the seasonal project from debuting director David Poag as the cursed spirit of a wealthy land developer, Alec Windsor, who disappeared long ago. He now haunts the townsfolk every Halloween and will supposedly take residence in a local Spirit Halloween store to torment a group of young kids who stay there overnight on a dare.

In the family horror film, Windsor brings the store's iconic animatronics to life to terrorize the children. The Spirit Halloween Movie Instagram page has unveiled three of the film's monster designs to excite fans before the official trailer premieres this weekend. In a series of gradually revealing images, the three animatronics turn out to be Buzzsaw, Mr. Dark, and Nightcrawler. Digital artist Mark Spears drew all three concept arts for the film. Check out the designs below:

Attentive fans have already seen images of Lloyd and Rachael Leigh Cook in character but were awaiting something substantial to see if the Spirit Halloween movie is a gimmick or a legitimate competitor to similar family-friendly horror films such as Goosebumps. If the animatronic monsters in the movie stay true to Spears' artwork, then Spirit Halloween could be one of the more terrifying holiday season options for younger audiences. The Strike Back Studios film is already in post-production, so fans will get to see Buzzsaw and his horrifying cohorts in action this October.

CBS' Ghosts: Every Main Ghost Time Period & Backstory Explained

One of CBS' newest sitcoms, Ghosts , features a cast full of spectral characters that each hail from a distinct time period and come with their own unique backstory and death. Though each of the eight ghosts has a wildly different perspective based on their different experiences throughout history, they nonetheless form a sort of family, which is one of the show's greatest charms. After all, being stuck with the same people for all of eternity allows for plenty of time to get to know each other. Ghosts , which is an adaptation of a BBC show of the same name, stars Utkarsh Ambudkar and Rose McIver (who played Liv Moore on five seasons of iZombie ) as Jay and Sam, a young couple who inherit a mansion in upstate New York. To their surprise, however, the house also comes with several ghostly inhabitants, who Sam is able to see after a near-death experience. These are Thorfinn (Devan Long), Sasappis (Román Zaragoza), Isaac (Brandon Scott Jones), Hetty (Rebecca Wisocky...

The Hateful Eight's Original Ending Explained (& Why Tarantino Changed It)

The Hateful Eight has an ending full of blood and betrayal, as expected from any Quentin Tarantino movie, but this wasn’t the original ending – here’s why he changed it. Tarantino has explored different genres throughout his career; though he’s best known for his crime movies like Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction , he's also visited genres like martial arts (with both Kill Bill films) and black comedy ( Once Upon a Time in Hollywood ). In addition, he's shared his version of westerns with Django Unchained and The Hateful Eight , with the latter going through some problems and creative changes even before it began shooting. Set in 1870, Tarantino's The Hateful Eight follows eight strangers, all with different (and secret) motivations, who end up in a stagecoach lodge after seeking refuge from a blizzard. These characters are Major Marquis Warren (Samuel L. Jackson), John “The Hangman” Ruth (Kurt Russell), Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Jason Leigh), Chris Mannix (Walton Gog...

Why Spider-Man 3's Uncle Ben Retcon Doesn't Change Peter's Origin

Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3 is often criticized for a major retcon made to Uncle Ben’s death , but this retcon ultimately doesn’t change Peter Parker’s classic origin story. Raimi’s third film in the iconic Spider-Man trilogy is often criticized, perhaps unfairly. While the film suffers from too many character arcs and plot threads and would have been better as two or three separate films, it does a more than adequate job adapting the Spider-Man comics and telling a sincere story about relatable, flawed, characters who are intertwined with the extraordinary, just as Stan Lee and Steve Ditko intended when co-creating the character. Uncle Ben’s retconned death may alter classic elements from the comic version, but it retains its most important aspects in regards to Peter’s characterization. 2002’s Spider-Man is, for much of the film’s first half, a faithful adaptation of Spider-Man’s 1962 origin story in issue 15 of the Amazing Fantasy comics. An awkward social pariah, Pete...
