Halloween Update: Nightmare King Burger, Halloween Poster Art & More Events

The above poster from artist Glen Brogan comes from Hero Complex Gallery's special collection of John Carpenter's Halloween posters. Check them all out here.

We also could just die for artist Jason Edmiston's take on the film. They were on sale in Pasadena last weekend at the Halloween: 40 Years of Terror and commissioned by Mondo.

Oh yeah, the new Halloween movie is out this Thursday night. Here's the site to find out anywhere it's playing.

Oh, and /Film had the same thoughts as us about the poorly named Horror Made Here: A Festival of Frights. Here's our review.

Once again, here'sThings To Do In LA's Halloween guide:

• Haunts & Experiences
• Entertainment, Horror Movies & Parties  

 We keep adding to it, so look through it for what to do this weekend into Halloween itself. There's so many horror films to see.

Burger King is going for it this year. And we mean the Halloween crowd. Not only do they already have the Scary Black Cherry frozen drink, that turns your mouth and tongue black and your poopie green. They have the Nightmare King, coming out for a limited time starting Oct 22 at select locations. It's suppose make you literally have nightmares or at least boost the chances of you having them based on "science." The green bun doesn't hurt it for Halloween hi-jinks.

Just added to the Halloween guide:
