An American Horror Story Halloween: 5 Tricks and Treats

Denis O'Hare The list of ghosts on American Horror Story keeps growing. Among the formerly warm bodies we added last week: a woman from the 1920s who coaxed her husband, a doctor with a Frankenstein fetish, into performing abortions on starlets; Moira, who was shot by Constance back when Moira looked like Alexandra Breckenridge; and Hayden, whom Larry murdered because he apparently wants to help Ben not just out of the house but with all of his problems. (Oh come on, you know that's not the last you've seen of her!) American Horror Story: Connie Britton answers burning questions Unfortunately for the Harmons, Halloween has arrived, the day when the dead are allowed to make like they're living. In the first hour of a two-part Halloween event (Wednesday, 10/9c, FX), series bosses Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuck are handing out both tricks and treats. Here's what to expect: TREAT: Infantata, explained! Someone will explain the history of that turn-of-the-century demon baby lurking in the Harmons' basement. Series star Connie Britton told TVGuide.com that it - and she calls it "the Infantata" - just might be the victim of "something really terrible" that happened in the house. That would be an understatement. Will American Horror Story be a hit for FX? TRICK: The return of Rubber Man - or is it an imposter? Our shiny enigmatic friend will turn up not once, but twice for Halloween. He'll even unmask! But is it the same person donning the gimp suit both times? TREAT: Vivien's baby checks in! Just like Bella and Edward's fast-growing, gnawing-on-mommy-from-the-inside bundle of joy, Vivien's little guy is going to start demanding some attention in painful ways. (Yes, that is a reference to Twilight. American Horror Story is supposed to be an homage to all things scary, right?) It's only been eight weeks, and the baby should be the size of a peanut, but a super scary ultrasound will show otherwise. TRICK. Three people will die. So every episode thus far has begun with a murder - the Halloween killings don't all take place in the past. Death will even claim a pretty major character (who has been in every episode so far) in a pretty gruesome way. In a twist, it will be pretty sad as well... The 6 things that inspired American Horror Story TREAT. Hayden isn't over! ...On the other hand, death doesn't mean the end. Just ask Moira. Ben may have built that lovely gazebo over the body of his other baby mama, but on Halloween, the dead get to walk amongst the living. Hayden's pissed and she's going to do a lot more than walk. Check out a sneak peek from Wednesday's episode. Why does Larry suddenly want money? What does he need that costs a thousand bucks? American Horror Story airs Wednesdays at 10/9c on FX. The network will air a marathon of the series' first four episodes, starting Monday at 10/9c. What has been the biggest scare so far? Do you think the Harmons will make it out of that house alive?

'Batman & Robin' Director Joel Schumacher Wanted to Do 'The Dark Knight'

There only three certainties in life: death, taxes and 'Batman & Robin' being the second-worst superhero movie ever. (Congratulations, Shaq; 'Kazaam' still wins that dubious honor!) 'B&R' director Joel Schumacher is doing press rounds for the upcoming Nicolas Cage-Nicole Kidman thriller 'Trespass,' and when talk in a recent sit-down with IFC turned to his superhero oeuvre, Schumacher was surprisingly honest. "Sequels are made for one reason. Because 'Batman Forever' was an unexpected sensation, and the second-biggest grossing movie for the whole year, and everyone made so much money out of 'Batman Forever,' it was always, 'more, more more.'" Which is how you get to rubber suits with prominent nipple placement. Schumacher says he's proud of 'Batman & Robin' but does regret one thing: that Warner Bros. didn't ask him to also direct 'The Dark Knight.' Pause here for fanboy head explosions. "I think I'm the most envious of Chris Nolan because he got to do 'The Dark Knight' -- and that's the one I begged to do as my second Batman film," Schumacher told IFC. "I wanted to do a whole other thing, because we had kind of re-invented franchise with Val [Kilmer as Batman [in 'Batman Forever'] and it was a very young, sexy, and much less expensive movie. We brought in Robin and I wanted to make 'The Dark Knight' desperately, but the studio didn't want that and it's their money and they're my bosses." For his part, Schumacher thinks the aforementioned Kilmer is the best onscreen Batman. "I thought he looked great in the costume, and I thought he brought a depth to the role." OK, then!

Trailer: Under What Circumstances Would You Pay $59.99 to Watch Tower Heist?

The latest trailer for Tower Heist is out, and not a minute too soon as Universal prepares to undertake Hollywood’s most adventurous journey yet on the VOD frontier: Releasing Brett Ratner’s comedy to on-demand audiences just three weeks after its Nov. 4 theatrical opening. Exhibitors are pledging boycotts, pundits are wringing their hands, and competing studios are paying extra close attention to how it could all affect them. All of which misses the bottom line for viewers, which is: How much??? Watching Tower Heist on demand in this window will cost you $59.99. Yes. $59.99. The obvious implication here is that Universal is selling to eyeballs, not individuals; the price point assumes that the $59.99 undercuts what the average family would spend to attend Tower Heist in theaters — including tickets, concession, parking/gas, etc. Nothing’s stopping you from pulling the film up for the whole clan after Thanksgiving dinner, or inviting friends over and either splitting the cost or sticking them with the food/drinks bill. At its most radical, Universal’s plan shifts the entire social emphasis of moviegoing to the living room, theoretically doing to the cinema what Nintendo, Sony and the video-game industry did to the arcade 20 or so years ago. While intriguing, the strategy misapprehends the crucial factor: $59.99 is a lot of money. The film is essentially about its target audience — middle-class, multi-ethnic, law-abiding workers who resort to revenge when a billionaire Manhattan tycoon shafts them into losing their entire savings. Their plot is criminal, but the fantasy of Tower Heist is that it’s morally justifiable — that all the bogeymen of Wall Street and modern industry can and will get their comeuppances. It’s an appealing message. So why compromise it by suggesting it’s worth five to six times its value three weeks after it’s already been in theaters? As best it’s a Hollywood lie, at worst it’s just another scam. What do you think? And would you want to see this anyway, on any platform?
