Paris Jackson has released the new single “Let Down,” off her upcoming debut solo album Wilted, out November 13th via Republic Records.

This past week a handful of standout DVD's hit the streets including the highly anticipated Trick 'R Treat and the Ghost House Pictures shocker The Children. A few disjointed films also hit the public market, but I'll steer clear of those duds for the time being and share some insight into some worthwhile cinema.
Trick 'R Treat focuses on four separate Halloween tales that all intersect ala a Tarantino script structure. There's plenty of vengeful ghosts, sexy lycanthropes and odd ball creatures to keep the goose bumps surfacing. Also involved in the story is a father who could use some serious parenting lessons, unless of course his ultimate goal is to raise homicidal maniacs, in which case - kudos to him, he's doing a damn fine job.
One of the beautiful things about this picture is how smoothly Michael Dougherty (who wrote and directed the picture) ties each tale together.

Even though his first horror film, The Shortcut, is about to hit DVD shelves on September 29th, that doesn’t mean director Nicholaus Goossen is a newcomer to the scene. Goossen has actually been working in Hollywood since he was still in high school.
Goossen grew up in a boxing family surrounded by celebrities but it was the opportunity to work on the set of The Wedding Singer as an intern that ended up being a life-changing experience for him.
“The first day I got to set, Adam Sandler walked right up to me and introduced himself,” explained Goossen. “I honestly think it was because I was wearing a basketball jersey and he was looking for someone to play with. We immediately became friends which led to me working on the rest of his films from then on.”

The idea of Adam Sandler backing a horror film (under his new Scary Madison banner) needn’t automatically be a negative one; after all, funnyman Mel Brooks’ productions have included the modern classic The Fly, the darkly brilliant The Elephant Man and best-selling zombie author Max Brooks. And, as is revealed on the DVD (coming September 29 from Anchor Bay) of Scary Madison’s first feature The Shortcut, Sandler—who doesn’t take an onscreen credit—and co. were all about making it an R-rated feature; it was the financiers who came on board during preproduction who insisted it be watered down for youth-audience consumption.
The result is a movie that feels awkwardly caught between competing ambitions. It dances around dark territory without fully committing, putting an equal emphasis on typical screen-teen behavior; people die, but little onscreen blood is shed. (There are any number of action flicks, and even horror films,...
