Prom Night Box Office

A while back I knocked the notion that 1980's PROM NIGHT was receiving the re-make treatment. While I was not a huge fan of the original PROM NIGHT I did watch the video a dozen or so times in 1984 when I got a copy of it on VHS. It wasn't a bad film, but it was definitely a "generic" slasher film that owed much of its popularity to the tremendous television advertisements that made the film sound like the scariest film ever made.

So, I thought the idea for a remake was kind of silly.

Well, the box office receipts for the new PROM NIGHT as of 4/14 are $21.5 million. That constitutes a HUGE box office hit for such a low budget film released during early spring. I haven't seen the film yet but I will be checking it out soon. A review will, of course, follow.

Medical Training

There are a number of careers one can pursue in the medical arena and an x-ray technician is one of the best. Of course, in order to be an x-ray technician you need quality x-ray technician training and this is where medical-career-training.com is helpful as it direct an interested party to the top schools in the nation.

Halloween Convention

Now here is something that is really cool: a convention celebrating 30 Years of Halloween Films.

Honestly, the success of the Halloween franchise truly shocks me. While Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street basically fizzled away (other than the Jason vs. Freddy mega hit) the Halloween films have pretty much done far better then anyone expected. H20 and Rob Zombie's Halloween remake earned in excess of $50 million (BTW – where the hell is the greenlight for a Halloween 2 remake???) making the Halloween series among the most successful horror franchises ever.

This is not the first Halloween convention as there was one 5 years ago as well. Hopefully, this one will be a hit and there will be another after this. Also, let's hope there is another film made in the future too. Which, of course, there will be eventually as we all know.

The convention will be held Oct 31 – Nov 2 in Pasadena
