Mohonk Mountain House home page screenshot

Which hotel would you envision if you read this statement: “This location supposedly was the inspiration for the Overlook Hotel in Stephen King’s thriller The Shining.” If, like me, the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado, popped first to mind, I would understand that. If, however, you said the MohonkContinue Reading

Berensteam Cheetahs Berenstain Bears Mandela effect John Oliver joke

“You might think Berenstain is misspelled,” John Oliver said at the beginning of the “Libraries” episode of Last Week Tonight. “You might remember it as S-T-E-I-N, but that’s wrong. It’s a weird Mandela effect thing that a lot of people misremember.” The Berenstain Bears Mandela effect was the last thingContinue Reading

Crystal Lake Peacock poster

When Peacock released artwork for Crystal Lake, a Friday the 13th series, at the start of 2023, I was so excited. Especially after I verified that the Instagram post someone had shared with me about it was legit. In fact, I was actually late hearing about it. The news hadContinue Reading

THEM season 2 The Scare poster

Making a good horror anthology series like American Horror Stories is hard. Even AHS hasn’t gotten it right with all of its seasons. But the first season of the Amazon Original THEM (a.k.a. THEM: Covenant) hit the mark with high ratings. Would its sophomore season, THEM: The Scare, repeat thatContinue Reading

Pretty Little Liars Summer School key art

In the trailer for Pretty Little Liars: Summer School, the Liars get bad news. Since they were consumed with unmasking A before he killed them in Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin, their grades suffered. They can’t move on to junior year at Millwood High unless they complete summer school. Or,Continue Reading

Expedition from Hell: The Lost Tapes key art

“Is Discovery Channel venturing into the found footage genre?” I wondered when I first heard about Expedition from Hell: The Lost Tapes. “How’s that going to work?” It was the “lost tapes” part that tripped me up. Were there really some lost tapes that someone found that would tell theContinue Reading

Live-action Scooby-Doo Mystery Machine

If you’re all about seeing a live-action Scooby-Doo series on streaming somewhere, you may be in luck. The Hollywood Reporter recently dropped deets about such a project in the works at Netflix. It’s not a done deal yet, but they said it’s close. Apparently, it has “a script-to-series commitment atContinue Reading

The Traitors cover with cast and castle

The castle in The Traitors has seen dozens of murders during the two seasons of both the U.K. and U.S. versions of the show. (Australia, Canada, and New Zealand also have versions, but in different settings, which we’ll briefly explore in a bit.) Luckily none have been real murders, butContinue Reading

Abigail poster

“That’s a movie I’d see in theaters,” I thought when the trailer for Abigail dropped at the beginning of this year. It looked fun and maybe like the ballet/vampire horror movie mashup we didn’t know we needed. I made a mental note to try to snag free passes if thereContinue Reading

Ghost Adventures Skinwalker Invasion

“Is the Ghost Adventures team going to investigate with the Skinwalker Ranch guys?” I wondered when I saw the announcement about the new season of Ghost Adventures. As they did with the “Lake of Death” and “Devil’s Island” episodes ahead of past seasons, they’ll also kick off this all-new seasonContinue Reading

Robert Mitchum in Night of the Hunter

It’s been almost 70 years since Night of the Hunter premiered in 1955. By the time the remade version is released, it will have hit its platinum anniversary. That’s right. They’re redoing the classic (and terrifying!) thriller starring Robert Mitchum. (“They” being Scott Derrickson, who’s working on a script withContinue Reading

THEM season 2 The Scare poster

You could easily be forgiven if you didn’t think a THEM season 2 was happening either. I know I didn’t, and I was pretty bummed about it. Not that season 1 left off on a major cliffhanger or anything. Or, at least, not from what I remember. (That was threeContinue Reading
