Title: Frostbite: A Christmas Confrontation INT. SKI LODGE - NIGHT The scene opens on a cozy, picturesque ski lodge decorated for Christmas. The lodge is bustling with holiday cheer. A Christmas tree glows warmly in the corner, and carolers can be heard singing outside. The camera pans to a sign on the wall: "WELCOME TO WINTER HAVEN SKI LODGE". CUT TO: INT. KITCHEN - NIGHT The kitchen is busy with staff preparing a Christmas feast. We focus on a tray of freshly baked gingerbread men cooling on the counter. Suddenly, the room temperature drops dramatically. Frost forms on the windows. One of the gingerbread men begins to twitch and move, growing larger and more menacing until it becomes the GINGERDEAD MAN, his icing forming a sinister grin. GINGERDEAD MAN (laughing maniacally) Time to spice things up! CUT TO: EXT. SKI LODGE - NIGHT Outside, a fierce snowstorm is brewing. The snow begins to swirl unnaturally, coalescing into the shape of a menacing snowman with jagged icicles for teeth and coal-black eyes. This is JACK FROST, THE MUTANT KILLER SNOWMAN. JACK FROST (growling) There’s only room for one holiday horror around here... INT. SKI LODGE - LOBBY - NIGHT Guests are mingling, sipping hot cocoa, and enjoying the warmth of the fireplace. Suddenly, the front door bursts open, and a cold wind blows in, sending shivers through the crowd. Jack Frost steps inside, his presence immediately lowering the temperature. JACK FROST (to the guests) Merry Christmas... You're all on ice! Panic ensues as guests scramble to get away. The camera follows Jack Frost as he advances, freezing everything in his path. Then, from the kitchen, the Gingerdead Man bursts into the lobby, brandishing a candy cane shiv. GINGERDEAD MAN (to Jack Frost) Hey frosty! You think you can crash my party? JACK FROST (snarling) Gingerbread? More like gingerDEAD! INT. SKI LODGE - MAIN HALL - NIGHT The two holiday horrors face off in the main hall, the terrified guests watching from the shadows. Jack Frost summons ice shards and hurls them at the Gingerdead Man, who nimbly dodges and counters with sharp gingerbread shurikens. GINGERDEAD MAN (smirking) Let’s see how you handle some holiday spice! He opens his mouth and breathes out a cloud of scalding hot gingerbread crumbs, searing through Jack Frost’s icy exterior. Jack Frost roars in pain, the heat causing him to partially melt. JACK FROST (roaring) You’ll pay for that, cookie! He waves his branch-like arms, summoning a blizzard inside the lodge. The temperature plummets even further as snow and ice swirl around them. The Gingerdead Man is thrown against the wall, struggling to maintain his form. GINGERDEAD MAN (grunting) Is that all you got? JACK FROST (grinning) Not even close. Jack Frost lunges, his icicle claws extended. But at the last moment, the Gingerdead Man grabs a nearby Christmas tree, using it as a shield. The tree shatters into sparkling fragments, momentarily blinding Jack Frost. GINGERDEAD MAN (screaming) Eat this! He leaps forward, jamming his candy cane shiv into Jack Frost’s chest. The mutant snowman freezes in place, a look of shock on his face, before exploding into a shower of snowflakes and ice. GINGERDEAD MAN (panting, triumphant) Looks like you're snowed under. INT. SKI LODGE - LOBBY - NIGHT The guests slowly come out of hiding, cautiously approaching the Gingerdead Man, who is catching his breath. GUEST #1 (tentatively) Thank you... You saved us. GINGERDEAD MAN (grinning wickedly) Don't thank me yet. Dessert’s not over. His eyes gleam with malice as he looks around at the remaining guests, who realize the horror isn't over. They scream and run as the Gingerdead Man gives chase, laughter echoing through the lodge. FADE OUT. CREDITS ROLL. The sound of the Gingerdead Man's maniacal laughter continues over the credits, mixed with Christmas carols played in a haunting, minor key. THE END.

It's two police officers. POLICE OFFICER 1 (officially) We received a tip that Bernie Lomax was seen in this apartment. RICHARD (nervously) Bernie Lomax? I've never heard of him.

Nick is browsing a local comic store when he finds the Ghoulish comic. Nick: "Wow, this is rare. I've never seen anything like it before." Comic Store Owner: "That's a one of a kind, my friend. It's said to bring the ghoulies to life when it's read." Nick: "I have to have it." Nick brings the comic back to the mansion and hides it in his luggage.

The camera lingers on the Ghoulish comic, hinting at the possibility of a sequel.

I had a bot write a script for "Munchie Strikes Back" and it came up with the name "Munchie Strikes Again". Enjoy!

Death Wish 3 is the GREATEST action sequel of all time in my eyes. It is non-stop action with a lot of one-liners that move the insane plot along. It was the one Death Wish shown on WPIX channel 11 often on Saturdays and my dad always made sure we watched it. So, it was such an honor to team up with Chris Rauch who runs the Charles Bronson Fan Account on Twitter @bronsontweets9, and do a never before seen Death Wish 3 reunion with 3 of the main baddies. We got Alex Winter (Hermosa), Tony Spiridakis (Angel), and Kirk Taylor (The Giggler) together to reminisce about the movie and talk about Charles Bronson in honor of the movie’s release date of Nov 1 and Charles Bronson’s 100th birthday on Nov 3.

We recently reviewed "Robocop 3" and it is polar opposites of the 1st two movies. No blood, less action, and less Robocop. The film made money in the theaters (according to some websites and other websites claim it didn't), so it is a "success" in the eyes of the suits, but who was to blame for why it was so different from the first 2? So I surfed the internet that Al Gore graciously gave us and did my research about it. First, off Fred Dekker the director wanted the movie to be VERY different. He wanted A LOT more action because of the introduction of the "Roboninja", he wanted Hong Style stunt teams, but it wasn't in the budget. Then the blood and action got dialed down because the Robocop franchise was targeting a younger audience after it launched its Robocop cartoon and every Robocop toy imaginable was on the market. How could they make a Robocop 3 that their newest fan base couldn't see? They couldn't, so Fred Dekker was forced to make a PG-rated Robocop which is comical when you think about Alex Murphy's graphic death scene in the first one. Instead, we got a movie that featured a 10-year-old hacker named Nikko more than Robocop, which as a ten-year-old I would've loved, but older it just feels off a bit. Nikko, who is the greatest hacker ever, saved EVERYONE in the movie, watch it if you don't believe us. Fred also had an idea where Nancy Allen's character, who died in the end, comes back as a Robocop, which would've been fantastic, but we didn't get that. We got a movie that had Robocop obsolete for most of it. The silver lining of the movie is its cast which is full of budding stars and Rip Torn. It has Jodi Long, Jeff Garlin, Bradley Whitford, Stephen Root, and more. I just wanted MORE Robocop and more action because when Robocop was on screen, he had his classic one-liners that is what you loved about Robocop. Even if Peter Weller could've reprised his role wouldn't have changed the direction of the movie, Peter was stuck filming David Cronenberg's "Naked Lunch" at the time. The studio needed the movie to target its toy-loving and cartoon-watching audience, kids. As a sequel lover, I am happy it was made, so 28 years later we could review it on our podcast "The Good, The Bad, and The Sequel."

Actor Jack O'Halloran had Quite the Story to Tell

TIL; There is a Sequel Script for Roger Rabbit 2 from 1989 and Here's What I Found. I discovered JJ Abrams was asked by Spielberg to an outline, Zemeckis has a script and even CGI Test footage from 1998.

I wanted to look back on how I ended up having the amazing opportunity to not just pick the brain of one Roberts, but two! Read more.
