The Horror Hiding in V.E. Schwab’s Bestselling Fantasy

New DVD release
Bestselling author V.E. Schwab isn’t known as a horror writer, but once you begin looking for horror elements in her prolific body of speculative fiction work, you’ll start finding them everywhere: A library where dead people are kept on the shelves like books in The Archived. A world where people come away from near-death experiences with superhuman abilities in the Villains series. A kid who can see ghosts is dragged to the most haunted places on Earth by her ghost-hunter parents in the Cassidy Blake series. Even The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, the tale of a young woman who…

Best to Stream This Halloween: New Horror and Spooky Movies and TV to Watch

New DVD release
Halloween is finally upon us, and it’s the absolute height of spooky season. But what the heck are you going to watch? There’s no shortage of appropriate old favorites and films actually set on Halloween to choose from. But what if you want something new that you haven’t seen before?

How Halloween Night Punk Rock Chaos Created SNL’s Most Notorious Moment

New DVD release
“They’re really nice people you know. [Laughs] They look very frightening, but they’re really very nice.” That compliment, dubiously delivered on Saturday Night Live’s 1981 Halloween episode by a thematically-apropriate host in Halloween star Donald Pleasance, served as the introduction for the show’s most unique musical act: SoCal hardcore punk rock band Fear. However, differing from other “controversial” moments in the show’s history, Fear’s appearance remains notorious not for the content of their music—rough around the edges as it was—but for the wanton destruction it left onstage, and an abrupt admonishment of the show’s sacred metropolitan setting. With Halloween having…

Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin – Found Footage Reboot Should’ve Stayed Lost

New DVD release
It’s been six long years since we last saw the shaky, handheld footage of a Paranormal Activity movie. Which by the measurement of Hollywood franchises is probably four or five years too many. That might explain why the franchise’s soft reboot in this weekend’s Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin seemed like a no-brainer for Paramount Pictures as it was developing original content for the new streaming service Paramount+. Be that as it may, Next of Kin—or Paranormal Activity 7 for those who are still keeping count—is really a different animal from the previous six movies in the saga. For starters,…

Last Night in Soho Soundtrack List Captures the Dreams of ‘60s Music Mod Life

New DVD release
Like a needle on a record, Edgar Wright’s Last Night in Soho drops a sharp stylus into a deep groove and lets her spin. Eloise (Thomasin McKenzie) is a modern fashion design student in the film—modern in the sense that she is a 21st century woman living in contemporary England. But in her dreams she is a mid-‘60s Mod, shaking to the sounds of Swinging London. The singer, Sandie (Anya Taylor-Joy), is the most lucid bridge to her subconscious trespass. The soundtrack to the film is the aural equivalent of a middle-eight between the verses and the chorus of time.…

Link Tank: Celebrating 55 Years of It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

New DVD release
It’s been 55 years since the release of It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown! Here are some surprising facts you might not know about the animated special. “Lee Mendelson hadn’t planned on a career in animation. But when television sponsors saw the filmmaker’s documentary about cartoonist Charles Schulz, they asked if the two could team up to produce a Christmas special based on Schulz’s Peanuts strip. The result, A Charlie Brown Christmas, was seen by roughly half of all households watching television during its premiere on CBS on December 9, 1965. Mendelson went on to produce other Peanuts primetime specials,…

The Witcher Season 2: ‘The World’s Acting Strange’ in New Trailer

Netflix, New DVD release
Netflix has done a great job of minimizing spoilers in the trailers for The Witcher season 2, and the latest promo in particular focuses on the rising tensions in the world of the show while only hinting at the causes behind the increasing conflict. There are, however, certain conclusions that can be drawn about how the turmoil will affect Geralt, Ciri, and Yennefer differently and what aspect of the story lies at the center of all three character arcs. Why, after all, would everything be getting so dangerous all at once? Perhaps even those who haven’t read The Witcher novels…

The Last of Us HBO Series Set Photos Show the Effects of the Cordyceps Fungus

New DVD release
While previous production photos from the set of HBO’s The Last of Us series have focused on the show’s main characters, the latest set of leaked shots offers a much better look at the show’s version of this franchise’s Cordyceps fungus ravaged post-apocalyptic world. For those who don’t know, the inciting incident that triggers the effective end of the world in The Last of Us game is the rapid spread of a mutated strain of the Cordyceps fungus. Because the fungus directly attacks the brain within just a couple of days of infecting a host, it effectively turns them into…

Army of Thieves Ending Explained

New DVD release
This article contains spoilers for both Army of Thieves and Army of the Dead. If you ever wondered what brought Ludwig Dieter to zombie-infested Las Vegas, Army of Thieves has the answers. The Army of the Dead prequel not only serves as an origin story for Ludwig (Matthias Schweighöfer) but also as an introduction for a whole host of new narrative possibilities for Netflix’s fledgling cinematic universe. In fact, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Army of Thieves become its own spin-off series if the first movie does well on the streaming service. While Zack Snyder isn’t in the director’s…

Nature or nurture appears to be the theme moving forward, as the What We Do in the Shadows’ season 3 finale dropped a bundle on viewers. The vampire housemates are left scattered on ship ports and train platforms, and may be rudderless as an unexpected arrival throws all their plans to the wind. The ending leaves Nandor (Kayvan Novak) relentlessly waiting for Guillermo (Harvey Guillén), who has been nailed into a coffin by Laszlo (Matt Berry) to ensure a safe passage for his love Nadja…

Deborah and Zack Snyder on Restore the SnyderVerse: ‘It’s Amazing and an Honor’

New DVD release
Zack Snyder’s Justice League was the best gift that fans of Snyder’s vision of the DC Universe could have asked for: a four-hour, fully restored version of the film that tragedy (and perhaps a bit of studio politics) had cruelly snatched away from the director before he could complete it the first time. Snyder finally got to finish Justice League the way he wanted to, and while fans and critics alike can argue in good faith about the merits of the film itself, it’s clear that this version of it—unlike the truncated 2017 theatrical release—is the movie that Snyder set…

Link Tank: The Beef Between Lebron James and the Creator of Squid Game

New DVD release
The creator of Squid Game doesn’t think Los Angeles Lakers star Lebron James should be criticizing artist pieces. “Squid Game creator Hwang Dong-Hyuk has had his profile raised to an almost unimaginable degree over the last month or so. A 50-year-old writer and director who spent years trying to get his hyper-violent satire of capitalism off the ground, Hwang is now the creator of one of the biggest shows on the planet. That’s a step up in fame that comes with some major perks, presumably—including getting to hear the thoughts and opinions of a far more famous class of critics.”…

What We Do in the Shadows Season 3 Ending Explained

New DVD release
This article contains spoilers for What We Do in the Shadows season 3 episode 10. There is a very different vibe at the Staten Island vampire house in the aftermath of “The Portrait,” and it has little to do with the oil-based nuances captured by Donal Logue. Artistic master-stokes are usually reserved for Laszlo (Matt Berry). What We Do in the Shadows’ season 3 finale seemingly leaves the vampire housemates not only scattered, but with all their plans shattered. Nandor (Kayvan Novak) gets stuck with a train ticket, like Ilsa left Rick standing on a platform in the rain with…

On top of that, a recent report reveals that only 8% of New World‘s players have reached the game’s level cap.
