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.

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.

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.

Monster Inside McKamey Manor Hulu Documentary screenshot

Was Monster Inside: America’s Most Extreme Haunted House meant to serve as a warning or a cleverly disguised promo?

A lot of accusations were made against owner Russ McKamey about just howContinue Reading

Eclipse Crossroads 2017 and 2024 total solar eclipses

The 2024 total solar eclipse has me thinking a lot about the 2017 eclipse. That’s probably why Space.com‘s article about the ways the 2024 total solar eclipse will vary from 2017’s caught my eye. For one, the width of their paths of totality differ. 2017’s was narrower (70 miles wide)Continue 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

cruise passengers stranded consequences

Recently, news agencies around the world reported about the cruise passengers “stranded” by their cruise ship during a tour. I put stranded in quotation marks for a couple of reasons. One, from Business Insider to Today.com and ABCNews.com, and even 9News in Australia, every headline contained the three same words:Continue 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
