16 years after the faux trailer debuted as part of Grindhouse, Eli Roth finally delivered the feature version of Thanksgiving. There were no leftovers, but among the special features on the slasher’s home video release is an audio commentary by Roth and producer-writer Jeff Rendell.
Here are 10 things I learned from the Thanksgiving commentary…
1. The concept dates back to the filmmakers’ childhoods.
Thanksgiving is based on Roth’s faux trailer from Grindhouse, but its origins date back even further than 2007. Best friends since kindergarten, Roth and Rendell grew up in Newton, Massachusetts (about an hour from Plymouth) watching horror movies together.
Inspired by a pivotal theatrical viewing of Silent Night, Deadly Night circa 1984, they longed for a definitive Thanksgiving slasher in the vein of the other holiday horrors.
“We just started thinking of like, ‘What if there was a Thanksgiving slasher movie? You could put someone in an oven, and there was a killer pilgrim,...

It feels like only yesterday that Gemma Collins was crying mascara stained tears while complaining of contracting malaria - but this year's I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here is now just a mere month away.
Last year's series saw Carl Fogarty crowned King of the Jungle. But which stars will be enduring the Australian kangaroo anus-eating adventures on the ITV show this year? Here's the rumoured line-up so far:
Stephanie Davis
Who? Former Hollyoaks actress who was recently axed due to being "unfit to work because of alcohol consumption".
The rumour: The 22-year-old is reportedly "hot property" as a number of reality shows try to sign her up, according to The Mirror's unnamed insider. The star - who played Sinead O'Conner for five years in the Channel 4 soap - is no stranger to TV competitions, previously taking part in Over the Rainbow - a BBC One talent...

Towie's Ferne McCann thinks former castmate Gemma Collins is re-entering the jungle - but has warned that "if she fluffs it up again, she's just going to be a joke".
Collins, who quit the jungle after just four days in 2014, recently announced she was leaving The Only Way is Essex.
Speaking to Digital Spy along with fellow Towie star Jessica Wright, Ferne said: "We've heard the rumours and I reckon she's going back in. If she goes in - you only get one second chance and if she fluffs it up again she's just going to be a joke."
Jessica added: "She's got to make sure that this time she does it properly."
And will the cast miss her now that she's quit?
"I'm going to massively miss Gemma," Ferne enthused. "Everyone's really sad that she's left. We missed her in Marbs and we think the viewers are going to miss her.

ITV2 have finally answered our requests - original Celebrity Love Islander Paul Danan will be returning on tonight's live show.
The 36-year-old former Hollyoaks star appeared on the first ever celebrity edition of the series back in 2005, which saw him compete against eventual winners Jayne Middlemiss and Fran Cosgrave.
Danan returned to the show a year later, and spent the majority of his time tearfully fighting with or really fancying former model Sophie Anderton.
After one memorable blow-out, he was even escorted off set by security after he discovered that fellow celebrity contestants had all pretended that Anderton really liked him when in fact she just wanted to be friends. Or enemies.
And who can forget her somewhat dismissive observation: "You can do sit-ups?"
Danan also had some heated exchanges with retired basketball star Dennis Rodman and another former Hollyoaks actor, Lee Otway, during his time on the show.

Danan returned to the show a year later, and spent the majority of his time tearfully fighting with or really fancying former model Sophie Anderton.
After one memorable blow-out, he was even escorted off set by security after he discovered that fellow celebrity contestants had all pretended that Anderton really liked him when in fact she just wanted to be friends. Or enemies.
And who can forget her somewhat dismissive observation: "You can do sit-ups?"
Danan also had some heated exchanges with retired basketball star Dennis Rodman and another former Hollyoaks actor, Lee Otway, during his time on the show.

The Only Way Is Essex star Mario Falcone has backed new cast member Pete Wicks in his row with the boys.
Lewis Bloor and Tommy Mallet have fallen out with Pete in recent episodes after accusing him of being two-faced in the clash between Tommy and Ferne McCann.
"I feel sorry for Pete," Mario told Digital Spy today. "In that group, they're close friends - I think there's a little bit of a mob mentality or something like that. They think they're like the mafia and they're really not - they're a bunch of 20-something boys from Essex. Pete's a new guy - I think it boils down to them being threatened.
"He's very good-looking. He's a nice guy. I don't really let people in when they come on the show really, if I'm honest, and I liked him straight away. I don't think they like how well-liked he's...

The Only Way is Marbs returned in spectacular fashion last night (June 14), as one couple seemingly split and Bobby Norris debuted his latest piece of modest swimwear.
The spinoff special saw the cast supping Cava and sunning it up in revealing swimming attire in the Spanish city, but before long there were fresh arguments and tears galore among its typically dramatic stars.
Here's seven of the most memorable first episode moments below:
1. Behold the Gold Javelin
Bobby Norris revealed his new swimwear - a skimpy gold thong he spontaneously and oh-so modestly names The Gold Javelin.
Well, at least it boasts more material than the notorious penis sock and the sheer horror of the silver ball bag...
2. James Locke was going to propose?
James Locke revealed to close friend Elliott Wright that he was planning to pop the question and showed him the engagement ring he's been carrying around in his pocket.

One thing you can say about The Only Way is Essex is that it's never short of melodrama that would have you reaching for your 'duff duffs', if you were in a fictional Square somewhere in E20.
This week is no exception, as Towie hurtles towards its finale (well, until the summer) with make-ups, break-ups and shake-ups aplenty.
Oh well, at least baby Nelly has a smile on her face.
Things are looking promising for Arg and Lydia, as she asks him to accompany her to a Mad Hatter's Tea Party.
(Incidentally, why is a raven like a writing de - oh, never mind. Not the time or place.)
Lydia's still got concerns around trust and honesty when it comes to her old flame, though, and it all gets too much for her as she has a heart-to-heart with Lewis, questioning whether she can really move forward.

We think we've just found the most ridiculously hare-brained tattoo that we've ever seen on a celebrity. And it belongs to the feet of two Towie stars, Mario Falcone and Ricky Rayment.
The pair revealed the inkings on their feet, which combined spell 'Micky', a mix of both their names together.
Although Ricky has really only dropped the 'r' and replaced it with Mario's 'm'. And obviously on their own, they don't make much sense.
Mario and Ricky have become close friends since Ricky split up with Jessica Wright in the series finale - which included that Full Monty - last month.
The Essex duo were filming for the reality TV show's Christmas Special, which saw them kick back at a recording studio in Chelmsford,...

They won't leave their hats on (but they will use their hands to protect their modesty)... Yes, the male cast members of The Only Way Is Essex performed the Full Monty to fellow Towie stars, friends and family in Quendon Hall last night (November 11).
Dan Osborne spent the week teaching the boys - including newbie Tommy Mallet, Tom Pearce, Elliott Wright, James Lock, Lewis Bloor and Diags - the striptease routine ahead of their performance to be aired on tonight's episode.
The reality TV stars, who have also been hitting the gym with personal trainer Dan, began the dance wearing matching bow ties, black waistcoats, white cuffs and bowler hats.
But before long, the lads tossed each item of clothing into the crowd - which included a whip-holding Nana Pat - until they were left in just bow ties and birthday suits.
Lewis was giving a particularly enthusiastic performance.

The Only Way Is Essex stars were celebrating Halloween early last night (October 30) - but Nana Pat beat the rest of the cast hands down with her spooky outfit.
Most of the male cast took the opportunity to take off their tops off and call it a costume, including Elliott Wright, Tommy Mallet, James Lock and Dan Osborne.
Nana Pat was a very good sport dressed in a skeleton suit with black eyeshadow and lipstick.
Wright painted his torso green, and his sister Leah wore a leaf covered leotard as Poison Ivy.
Ferne McCann looked like a creature straight out of Guillermo del Toro Pan's Labyrinth, while Gemma Collins donned a gothic-style dress and white make-up.
Diags came as Medusa, with green plastic snakes springing from his hair, while Lewis Bloor covered up in a v-neck jumper and glasses. The pair were later pictured having a heated discussion in typical dramatic Towie style.

'The Only Way Is Essex' star split from his girlfriend of two years on last night's (29.10.14) episode of the ITVBe reality series after she revealed he'd been sending flirty text messages to other women and, after writing a number of angry messages, he's now claimed he'll no longer be using the social networking site. He wrote: ''Gonna come off Twitter for a while. Bye guys (sic).''
