Happy Halloween Eve to AATM readers! Looking for a scary movie to see in theaters this weekend? We’ve got you straight hooked up. See the list below, ranked by RottenTomatoes.com freshness, followed by what’s new in theaters and DVD/Blu-ray.

In Utah, Halloween isn’t simply a dress-up day where one freezes his grapes off while trekking the kiddies through the darkened neighborhood wastelands, searching for a fun-sized Snickers or Twix, instead finding cold porches and lonely Jack-O-Lanterns (apparently everyone else is trunk-or-treating – LAME). No, it’s a time where we like to reflect on the scariest elements and goodies our friends in Hollywood have offered us over the years. Today’s topic? Ten Disturbing Movie Deaths. As tens of thousands of …
Until last weekend, my must-see thermometer had James Cameron’s Avatar deadlocked at tepid. The hype, along with Cameron’s overzealous bravado and the not-so-fresh teaser trailer was enough to extinguish any anticipation I once had for this “groundbreaking” movie. However, after watching the full-length Avatar trailer last weekend (it was attached to Paranormal Activity), I must say, I am now enthusiastically waiting for the film’s December 19th release. Check out the trailer below, and, as always, let us know your thoughts. …

UPDATE: THIS VIDEO HAS BEEN REMOVED BY PARAMOUNT PICTURES. SORRY! Hurry and watch this now, because I’m betting this will be gone within a few hours. If you’ve seen Paranormal Activity, then you know how the movie ends in theaters, but below is the original “alternate” ending for Paranormal Activity. I can appreciate what Oren Peli is trying to do in this alternate version, but the ending now in theaters is by far the creepiest and better finale to the …
The year was 1982, affectionately called “The Spielberg Summer” by the media (because E.T. and Poltergeist were barnstorming the box office), and MGM was facing bankruptcy. It bet the house on Poltergeist, directed by Tobe Hooper (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre) and produced by Steven Spielberg, and claimed victory as the supernatural thriller grossed $76 million domestically, literally saving the studio from filing Chapter 11. 27 years later, Poltergeist is unbelievably dated, campy and generally silly from beginning to end, but …
“We have the rights on a worldwide basis to do Paranormal 2 and we’re looking to see if that makes some sense.” That quote comes from Paramount Pictures chairman, Brad Grey, and I can tell Mr. Grey, without hesitation, that making a follow-up to Paranormal Activity would be a terrible mistake. Not only does it have a 99.9 percent chance of bombing at the box office, but making it would tarnish the sheer genius and creativity of the first movie. …
Perhaps you’ll be cheering the Aggies to victory numero dos against the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs on Saturday afternoon at Romney Stadium. Or if an afternoon of college football isn’t in the cards, then maybe you’ll go hunting, or maybe you’ll just buy some beer and sit home watching re-runs of Ace of Cakes all weekend. Either way, if you’re like 99.6 percent of Cache Valley, you’ll be hitting up one of the three first-run theaters, or you’ll be holding up …
