Michael Pare (Streets of Fire,The Lincoln Lawyer) and director Dale Fabrigar (100 Yards) previously worked together on 2020’s Middleton Christmas. This time out they collaborate on the horror-thriller They Crawl Beneath. Armed with an indie budget, Fabrigar crafts a story that goes “beneath” the surface of a creature feature.

Although I am part of Generation X, Hellraiser escaped me. Maybe Pinhead’s visage was too scary for me as a teen. That said, the new Hellraiser, directed by David Bruckner (The Night House) was part of the Huluween press day and I obliged. This version absolutely worked for me, and I shared that sentiment with actor Adam Faison to start the interview.
Huluween Dragstravaganza put a smile on my face with its quick witted sketch comedy and catch musical numbers. Rupaul’s Drag Race vetsGinger Minjand Manila Luzonwere on hand to promote the October 1 Hulu event. My YouTube interview with them is below!
Ginger Minj plays Drag Winifred on Hocus Pocus 2, so of course there is a bias for her movie love. That said, I am excited to watch Hocus Pocus 2 this weekend, and while promoting Huluween Dragstravaganza Minj talked shared their reaction to the flick.

Mojean Aria and Antonio Banderas in The Enforcer (Screen Media Films)
Throw in Antonio Banderas into a B-level movie (Bullet Head,Black Butterfly, Security) and it’s an automatic upscale for me. I love my fair share of these genre driven material, and the good news is The Enforcer delivers the goods. Co-star Mojean Aria leaves an indelible mark on this narrative as well, and this tight as a drum thriller should be on your radar.

The original Quantum Leap ran from 1989 to 1993, and over the years it has garnered a loyal legon of fans. Although Scott Bakula confirmed he is not involved with this reboot, Quantum Leap is back with a new storyline and actor (Raymond Lee) headlining the series. Although the reboot aims to have a singular identity, Lee expressed his character (physicist Ben Song) has a “connection” with Dr. Sam Beckett (Bakula).
