Are your kids bored at home? Why not sign them up for Jack Skellington’s Escape Room that teaches life skills?

Join the rescue team to stop the wicked genius, Jack Skellington, and return Santa from the frightening world of Halloween Town.

The Pumpkin King (Jack Skellington) has Santa locked in an abandoned warehouse, holding him hostage. Skellington’s one mistake, however, was letting his arrogance take over. He has left Santa trapped but has allowed him to be rescued if someone can solve 5 puzzles he left behind. He was so sure of his superior wisdom, that he knew no one could solve them all. You and your rescue team have found the secret way to Halloween Town and must outwit the Pumpkin King! Get through his puzzles, break out Santa, and get him back to Christmas Town before Christmas is ruined.

To finish this Escape Room with time left it will take TEAM WORK, PROBLEM SOLVING, PERSEVERANCE, and CRITICAL THINKING! This escape room has five unique puzzles meant to test all members of the team. This may be the most difficult escape room I have to date, so be ready!! Oh yeah! The best part! PARENTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO HELP!! I know you’re dying to sit in on this one!! So, it can be a fun, family holiday experience!!

After finding the way into Halloween Town, the first puzzle is a complex lock to even enter the abandoned warehouse where Santa is being kept. After that, the rescue team is met with a large metal door with a touch screen on it. There is a design that needs to be drawn onto it for the door to open. Once through the metal door, you enter a room with no doors or windows, but a wall of letter wheels to be put in just the right positions. If you pass the third puzzle, the wall will raise up to reveal a stone wall with hidden etchings. Figure what you need to do to which stone to enter the safe room where Santa is being kept. Only the best problem solvers will get Santa out of his enclosed vault.

Original Creator Wants to Make a ‘Gargoyles’ Live-Action Film with Jordan Peele

Original Creator Wants to Make a ‘Gargoyles‘ Live-Action Film with Jordan Peele. Not too long ago, Get Out director and Toy Story 4 star, Jordan Peele, pitched the idea of a live-action film adaption of the 90’s cult classic animated series, Gargoyles.

According to the original series creator, Greg Weisman, Disney listened to Peele’s pitch, but never responded with a formal decision. Weisman also expressed heavy interest in working with Jordan should Disney decide to move forward with rebooting the franchise in any capacity.

“I think it’s accurate that he was interested, but I can’t speak to how far those conversations went,” the writer shared, “My understanding — not inside information, just my understanding — is that he expressed an interest in the property. And Disney didn’t say no. But by not saying yes, that answers the question. You know, they didn’t want to say no to Jordan Peele, but they also didn’t want to say yes to Gargoyles. So it just didn’t go anywhere.”

“I’d like to think — I don’t know this, I want to make that clear — that he’d still be interested in doing something with it if a new opportunity arose. I can’t say for sure if that’s true, I have no idea. But I would hope so. I’m a huge fan of his,” Weisman added. “Should he read this article, I would love to work with him. But I don’t know how realistic that is.”

If it wasn’t enough that a production team is ready and willing to create a reboot of the pop cult franchise even the series lead voice actor, Keith David (Goliath), would love to reprise his role should Disney decide to take the pitch from Peele and Weisman.

“[We’ve wondered] why we haven’t come back to a reboot,” Keith shared with ComicBook. “I mean, I would love nothing more than to revisit Goliath. You know, he was absolutely one of my very, very, very, very favorite characters. I’ve always maintained that when I grow up, I want to be like Goliath.”

Not familiar with the animated series? You can read the synopsis below:

“A clan of heroic night creatures pledge to protect modern New York City as they did in Scotland one thousand years earlier. In the Dark Ages, there was a race of heroic warrior monsters known as Gargoyles. These creatures existed as stone during the day, but become flesh and blood at night.”

Gargoyles is currently available to stream via Disney+.

Would you like to see a live-action Gargoyles film? Or would you prefer a rebooted animated series? What is your favorite memory of the original animated series? We would love to hear your thoughts and stories in the comments.

Rumored: Ahsoka Tano Getting Her Own Star Wars Series on Disney+

Rumored: Ahsoka Tano Getting Her Own Star Wars Series on Disney+. Since the news spread of Ahsoka Tano’s appearance in The Mandalorian Season 2 fans have been buzzing to learn more about her role within the series.

Though Disney and Lucasfilm have yet to confirm any new casting choices for The Mandalorian, sources close to production have confirmed Rosario Dawson as Ahsoka Tano, Katee Sackhoff as Bo-Katan Kryze, and Temuera Morrison as Boba Fett/Captain Rex, the character Sabine Wren from Star Wars: Rebels is also expected to appear in the series. The latest rumor has added Timothy Olyphant (Santa Clarita Diet) to the mix in a mysterious role for the series.

We are still on pins and needles for confirmation about the characters appearances in the mega popular Star Wars series, but it has led others to start questioning: “Is Ahsoka getting her own series on Disney+?”

Without official confirmation of the characters appearance in the new series it is a bit early to predict the path of Ahsoka, but with how Star Wars: Rebels ended there is more than enough content to be explored! It is also unclear if the rumor means we will get a live-action series or possibly another animated series following the Grey Jedi. We would LOVE for this rumor to be true and only time will tell if it holds any merit.

The Mandalorian Season 2 finished filming back in February 2020 and is currently being edited at home thanks to the dedicated VFX artists and editors at Lucasfilm. Disney also recently ordered a third season of the mega-popular Star Wars series, which will likely premiere on Disney+ in October 2021, similarly to how the first two seasons were released via the new streaming service.

Would you like to see an Ahsoka led series? What new characters are you excited to see in Season 2 of The Mandalorian? What adventures do you think are in store for season 2? We would love to hear your thoughts in the comments.
