Carole Baskin Says Kate McKinnon Nailed Impersonation for Peacock Series
Netflix/Getty Carole Baskin hasn't been this astonished since Joe Exotic ran for president -- she can't figure out how Kate McKinnon copycatted her so perfectly for the upcoming Peacock series. Carole tells TMZ ... she was stunned to see the 'SNL' star's transformation for "Joe Exotic" ... the dramatic series based off the Wondery podcast with the same title. As you know by now, Joe and Carole have major beef, to put it lightly. He's accused her of feeding her 2nd husband, Don Lewis , to a tiger. Backgrid Anyway, she's stunned because producers nailed the wardrobe -- Carole says she has almost exactly the same outfit as the one Kate's wearing in a new photo from the set. Even Kate's necklace is spot on, which surprises Carole because she never wore that piece of jewelry on the Netflix docuseries. Her only explanation for Kate's doppelganger act is sooo Baskin.

Ted Prequel Series Is Happening at Peacock with Seth MacFarlane
Ted is heading to the small screen. Seth MacFarlane, who wrote and directed both Ted movies in addition to voicing the vulgar teddy bear, has finalizing a deal with NBCUniversal's Peacock for a live-action prequel TV series. The 10-episode, straight-to-series order would bring back MacFarlane in a similar capacity by heading the creative direction and providing the unique voice of the animated character. Per THR, the Ted series came about after NBCUniversal Entertainment Content chairman Susan Rovner pitched the concept during an introductory call with MacFarlane. For his part, MacFarlane suggested the prequel concept, perhaps feeling there was a lot of unexplored territory in the origins of the character. It's not clear how far back in time the series will go, but the change in the time period makes it seem less likely Mark Wahlberg will be involved. "Seth has a superpower of creating fandoms and Ted is a shining example of his ability to create beloved characters that we …

Halloween III Legacy Sequel with Tom Atkins? Producer Says ‘Anything Is Possible’
Perhaps we haven't seen the last of Silver Shamrock, as a Halloween III: Return of the Witch sequel is "possible" says series producer Malek Akkad. In recent years, the Halloween franchise has had a resurgence in popularity after the release of director David Gordon Green's new movie in 2018. It was the first of a planned trilogy meant to conclude the Michael Myers vs. Laurie Strode saga with the second installment, Halloween Kills , releasing this week. The plan from there is to do Halloween Ends , and nothing is set in stone at this point as to where to take Halloween from there. We recently spoke with Halloween Kills director David Gordon Green and producer Malek Akkad about what's to come next in the franchise. When Green was asked if we'd get an answer of some of the supernatural elements of Michael Myers. Green clearly said that we are not, as the "mystery is what makes him scary." When asked directly if Silver Shamrock would be tied into Michael's …
Halloween Kills Petition Demands Removal of Firefighter Massacre
Michael Myers is out for blood this month with the release of Halloween Kills , but not everyone is stoked. A petition on Change.org has been launched with the hope of removing the scenes where Michael murders responding firefighters after escaping from Laurie's burning house at the start of the movie. A look at some of these kills was previously revealed in the official trailer, and "the boogeyman" was clearly not taking it easy on them. "I want the scene in the new movie Halloween Kills where they show the Slaughtering of firefighters," the petition description reads. "It is wrong because firefighters have been lured to houses fire and murdered by the person who set the fire. And it's wrong that Michael killed the firefighters with the gear from the other firefighters he killed. As a soon to be firefighter I find it very offensive and so does my mom and dad who are retired firefighters." The petition author adds, "So I want that scene taken out of the movie. Michael …

Jamie Lee Curtis went meta for her appearance at last night's premiere of Halloween Kills , dressing as Psycho' s Marion Crane for the occasion. Wearing a pale blue dress and carrying a handbag and a bloody shower curtain for good measure, Curtis made quite an impression with her choice of outfit, which was almost too perfect to know where to begin.

Also in attendance were David Gordon Green, dressed in a costume similar to that worn by The Usher who usually makes an appearance at Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights, Judy Greer was inspired by Woody Allen's Annie Hall , Anthony Michael Hall decided that nothing is scarier than a man in a suit, and producer Jason Blum went all out with a Laurie Strode costume complete with blonde wig.
