Have a Great Weekend Connecticut! 

WOW!! Halloween chills and thrills are running rampant across the state!  

Lets start with movies in theatres this weekend! After James Bond kicked some spy hiney at the box office in No Time to Die, theaters are pumped for 2 big movies with huge names and a real housewife this weekend!!! 

Halloween Kills! The nightmare isn't over as unstoppable killer Michael Myers escapes from Laurie Strode's trap. Taking matters into their own hands, the Strode women and other survivors form a vigilante mob to hunt down Michael and end his reign of terror once and for all. Jamie Lee Curtiss has been playing this character since 1978! Joining her in this film, Anthony Michael Hall, Will Patton, Judy Greer and Kyle Richards, from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills – she was the original little girl in the movies!!!

To compete with one of the most successful horror franchises is, The Last Duel, A tale of betrayal & vengeance set against the brutality of 14th century France directed by Ridley Scott and starring Jodie Comer, Adam Driver, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.
