The origin of Michael Myers' head-tilt

For more on Halloween, pick up the new issue of Entertainment Weekly on stands now. Don't forget to subscribe for more exclusive interviews and photos, only in EW. Fans of the Halloween franchise know that slasher icon Michael Myers is fond of three things: carving people up, wearing a white-painted William Shatner mask, and tilting his head. The man who originated that distinctive gesture was Nick Castle, a college buddy of director John Carpenter and the person cast as Myers in the original 1978 version of Halloween.

The Originals recap: You Hung the Moon

If you think that a potential sire-line war is going to be the one thing that brings the Mikaelsons back together around the dinner table, think again. They have bigger problems than their blast-from-the-past buddy Lucien carrying on about white oak remnants and prophecies. Hayley is missing. Elijah must search the woods for her in a dazzling suit, while holding Hope in his arms as I swoon from my couch. Jackson arrives, with nothing but a tree trunk to cover his bloody, beaten, fully nude body.

The Outfield singer Tony Lewis dies at 62

Musician Tony Lewis, vocalist and bass player for the British band The Outfield, died "suddenly and unexpectedly" on Monday at age 62 near London, England, according to his spokesperson. His cause of death has not yet been announced. After growing up in the East End of London as a fan of the Beatles, as well as glam rockers like David Bowie and T.

The Outsider recap: Season 1, Episode 2

As the second of two back-to-back episodes begins, Ralph Anderson is being led through prison late at night. He’s here to see Terry Maitland, the two having a chat without any lawyers or other officers present. Anderson is simply baffled by this case. He both believes Terry and he doesn’t. As they sit down, the detective gets to the point. He doesn’t understand how the van with the New York plates ends up here, and with Terry’s fingerprints all over it.

The Partridge Family: The Complete First Season

They owe a lot to two previous funkily clad clans — the Monkees and the Bradys — but the Partridges broke significant TV ground with their single matriarch (Shirley Jones), teen heart-throb (David Cassidy), and precocious wiseacre (Danny Bonaduce) in The Partridge Family: The Complete First Season. There’s no finer display of the show’s unique appeal than a so-wrong-it’s-right first-season ep: Richard Pryor and Lou Gossett Jr. play inner-city entrepreneurs whose club is rescued from thugs when Mrs.

The Phantom Menace and its never-ending influence

As we count down to The Rise of Skywalker (Dec. 20), Entertainment Weekly critic Darren Franich is looking back on every film in the Star Wars franchise. Last week: Elegy for the Rancor. Next week: Dooku’s diabolical designs. I love George Lucas, because of everything and despite nothing. He is one of the great Californians, a Central Valley kid remaking Hollywood from Marin County, building his own fictional universe to finance his own private real universe.

The pop history of the flute

Back when rock was a combination weapon and utensil, Stone Age cavemen blew on an early version of the flute — a hollowed-out bone — to make music. In 1994, evolution finds the Beastie Boys sampling the Blues Project’s 1966 FM-radio hit “Flute Thing” for “Flute Loop,” a cut off Ill Communication. In the years in between, this woodwind has blown through pop history. Here’s a sample: It’s a highbrow rock instrument!

The Price of Glee review: A cheap rehash of other people's tragedy

The Price of Glee is full of low points, but the lowest has got to be the interview with the guy who's identified on screen as a "celebrity researcher." In episode 2 of Investigation Discovery's three-part schlockudrama, said researcher — who posts video tours of landmarks related to celebrity deaths on his YouTube channel — stands outside the Fairmont Pacific Rim hotel in Vancouver, where Glee star Cory Monteith was found dead in 2013.

The Princess Bride cast: Where are they now?

Quotable, swashbuckling, and wistfully hilarious, The Princess Bride crept into our hearts alongside Westley and a R.O.U.S. or two. It's been decades since the Rob Reiner comedy (based on William Goldman's novel of the same name) introduced us to the alternative meaning of "As you wish" and took us to the Cliffs of Insanity and back. Oh, and made us all believe in wove—twue wove. Take a look at what the cast of this fantastical comedy has been up to since it first premiered.
