Miramax has secured the rights to the classic song “Monster Mash,” originally reported by Deadline. Though not explicitly about Halloween, Bobby Pickett’s song (co-written with Lenny Capizzi) is a staple of Halloween playlists – it’s actually a song about a song! Miramax plans to turn “Monster Mash” into a movie centered around the Halloween season, as confirmed by Miramax CEO Jonathan Glickman.

Building up your Merit is incredibly important. It raises your rank from 9th place to 1st (or 5th place outside of China), and this rank is the biggest thing the Emperor looks at when choosing governors and ministers – even more important than your initial potential.

Guillermo del Toro’s take on Frankenstein’s Monster looks fantastic. The special effects and makeup used to turn Jacob Elordi into the creature are truly impressive. According to Variety, Elordi’s prosthetics consisted of 42 pieces for his entire body, including 14 for just his head and neck. The creation of the full creature required a total of 54 silicone pieces. Each time Elordi was fully transformed took 10 hours, and this process happened 50 times during filming! Prosthetic artist Mike Hill explained their goal was to visually expose the inner workings of the human body, which is why the veins are so clearly visible on the Monster.
