| |  | | | | The Untold Story of the Real Person Who Inspired Halloween's Michael Myers | | | | Michael Myers has been terrifying teen babysitters since the first Halloween film debuted in 1978. The masked killer stalks and knifes (and strangles, and drowns, and hangs and beats to death) residents of the fictional town of Haddonfield, Illinois, especially targeting high school students. Myers has become one of the most recognizable masked killers in horror history, alongside villains like Ghostface in Scream, who was inspired by the real-life serial killer the "Gainesville Ripper," and Leatherface in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, who was supposedly based on the "Butcher of Plainfield." But is Myers's character similarly rooted in reality? Read More | | | | | | | | | | | |  | | | | It Was Our Children's Crisis. Now It's Our Crisis. | | | | Half the American political system, and the half that happens to control all three branches of government at the moment, and the one that has just rejiggered the Supreme Court possibly until the IPCC's drop-dead date of 2040, is completely unwilling to confront the world's climate crisis and has become completely insane on the subject of science that is in conflict with its ideological goals. Most of our children, and certainly all of our grandchildren—and even, with luck (?) a lot of us—are going to take this in the teeth.

"Leave me in the jungle. I don't want a party: 'reported dead.' You know, what actually happens to my physical remains is of zero interest to me, unless they can provide entertainment value," Bourdain says. "Throw me into a wood chipper and spray me into Harrods, you know, at the middle of the rush hour. That would be pretty epic. I wouldn't mind being remembered in that way."

We return on this Monday morning to humbly correct that statement. Over the weekend, at the Rock Allegiance Festival in Camden, New Jersey, Insane Clown Posse and Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst added a new chapter to their years' old beef with something that almost qualifies as a fight onstage. As Limp Bizkit was playing their cover of George Michael's "Faith," ICP's Shaggy 2 Dope ran up behind Durst and attempted to hit him with a flying kick. He missed. Then security dragged him from the stage.

Down the hall, handfuls of other writers were working on more songs—for Gaga's character, Ally, and for the addiction-addled Jackson Maine played tenderly by Bradley Cooper. Cooper spent four years in research for the role, co-wrote the script, and even lowered his vocal register a full octave to sound like the raspy drifter he hoped to embody. And when it came to the soundtrack, he, along with Gaga and Lukas Nelson (frontman and bandleader of Promise of the Real, and Willie Nelson's son), were being equally ambitious. The results are, in a word, dizzying. Read More | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Follow Us | | | | | | | | Unsubscribe Privacy Notice | | | esquire.com
