| It's another "Halloween" sequel as QT and Ali's teams rise from the deadMovie crews were on location at several football stadiums on Sunday to film the ninth installment of the never-ending "Halloween" series. According to Hollywood sources, this latest flick will be called "Halloween IX: Michael Myers resurrects NFL teams." Look for it in theaters everywhere by the end of the month. Returning from the dead is the specialty of Michael Myers, the knife-wielding maniac who has appeared in eight "Halloween" movies since 1978. He's been shot and burned and left for dead dozens of times, yet somehow always returns home to Haddonfield, Illinois, to deliver more death and destruction. His evil spirit is relentless. Never turn your back on that guy. Movie producers scripted a unique twist to the "Halloween" series this October: Michael Myers actually helps others return from the dead, specifically struggling NFL teams. They wanted high-profile settings for the film to boost ticket sales, just like producers did years ago when they placed Jason Voorhees in New York City for "Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan." What could be better than Michael Myers wreaking havoc in San Francisco, Seattle, New York and Houston? That's apparently what transpired as four teams were totally left for dead before achieving incredible victories against major odds. All four of the comebacks were predicted by QT Pie and Alicia, who slashed their rivals with 10-3 records to win Week 5 of the Sunday Football Picks. Both mother and daughter gained valuable ground in the standings, moving up to second place and third place, respectively. The details from the come-from-behind victories are somewhat shocking. Not only did four teams roar back to win after trailing by as many as 17 points in the fourth quarter, but Michael Myers was spotted participating in full football gear. With the winless 49ers trailing the Cardinals 28-12 late in the game, it was allegedly Michael Myers who caught two touchdown passes and both two-point conversions to send the game into overtime, resulting in an improbable 31-28 triumph by San Francisco. One fan couldn't believe what he saw. "I caught a glimpse of Michael's infamous rubber mask under a 49ers helmet, and it scared the bejesus out of me," he said. "A few times he took the handoff and was running like mad down the sideline -- football in one hand and butcher knife in the other. No one seemed interested in stopping him." In Seattle, the undefeated Seahawks were leading 27-10 midway through the fourth quarter when the St. Louis Rams suddenly arose from the dead. The Rams scored a quick 17 points to force overtime, and then threw a long touchdown pass to prevail 33-27. Several fans indicated that Michael Myers likely played a key role in that miracle comeback as well. "I'd swear there were five Seahawks hanging on a Rams running back at one point, but the guy still powered his way to the end zone," a fan said. "Later I saw a Rams receiver hold back a defender at knifepoint in order to make a one-handed touchdown catch. Then he stuck the knife into the football and threw it into the crowd. I think he'll be fined for that." Similar stories were told by fans in Houston, where the Vikings toppled the Texans 34-28 in overtime, and in New York, where the Jets stunned the Bills 16-14 in the final minute. Only three weeks remain until Halloween day, so moviemakers must work quickly to get the new Michael Myers film to theaters. "With the amount of reality television out there, it's only fitting we make thrilling reality movies," the director said. "But I'm not commenting on the allegation that Michael used his knife on the playing field, so don't ask me about that." |
