We’ve got great news for all of you Flanafans out there as our fearless leader,Mike Flanagan, recently confirmed that post-production is a wrap for his upcoming adaptation ofStephen King’sThe Life of Chuck. Being as sneaky as ever,the horror directorshared the announcement in the comment section of hisLetterboxdreview forThe First Omen— which he stamped with hefty approval. While the movie hasn’t received an official release date,things have moved along quicklyfor thestar-studded feature, and with the finishing touches now in place, hopefully, images, teasers, and the like will be the next pieces of the puzzle....

100 years ago,H.P.Lovecraftcarved out a vein of terror so original and bountiful that his mythology permeates popular culture still. He’s a Poe, a Shelley, a Stoker; he’s a master of crafting devilishly interesting scary stories. His signature blend of religious fiction, science fiction, and fantasy with his acute sense for the unimaginably terrifying coalesce into a timeless concoction of nightmare fuel. Like many white men whose names have endured history, he’s also a deeply unpleasant racist punk who deliberately infused much of his writing with the toxin of his prejudice....

From the 1950s through the 1970s and beyond,Hammer Studiosproduced scores of interesting films. Some remain wildly erratic (undoubtedly part of the Hammer charm), while others are steeped in dank, creepy atmospheres that grab ahold of the viewer — suffusing the air with dread. The height of the Hammer era was a fascinating time in cinematic history, and many of the films from this period have since been restored and re-released to the utter delight of fans and horror completists alike....

I love Halloween, spooky decorating, trick-or-treating, and candy corn, so it’s really not surprising that I also love Halloween themed events. Los Angeles has such a wide variety of Halloween experiences throughout the season (i.e. early September through October 31st) that, depending on your level of fear tolerance, there’s pretty much something for everyone and at every age, ranging from spooky to scary to downright terrifying. And yes, this Halloween season is wrapping up, Christmas has taken over Costco and Home Depot, and the Christmas decorations have already started to appear at the theme parks, but the growing popularity of Halloween themed events means that it’s never too early to plan ahead for next year....

Movie fans have eagerly awaited this moment, andBarbieis finally in theaters. Between all the different Barbies and other characters, the movie is filled with great acting, fromMargot Robbie’s charisma toAmerica Ferrera’s honesty, but one that is just as great isRyan Goslingas Ken. He plays the part of a perfect goofball, one that we can’t help but like as he follows Barbie around trying to impress her. After years of seeing him play more serious roles in big productions, it’s quite refreshing to be able to laugh at silly stuff with him....

We are hardly ever the same person on a day-to-day basis. Sure, we might have the same body or the same identity, but the events of our lives mold and shape us in a multitude of ways, and we could see the world a whole different way over the course of 24 or 48 hours. As such, cinema is an expressive medium, but there hasn’t been a film quite likeThe Seven Faces of Jane, a daring exquisite corpse project that sees eight different filmmakers exploring the journey of our titular character, a wandering soul who finds herself warped throughout the course of surreal, life-altering events....

If you grew up in the ’90s, two properties became a large part of pop culture:Teenage Mutant Ninja TurtlesandMighty Morphin' Power Rangers. Both franchises took the world by storm due to a mix of adolescent protagonists and martial arts action, not to mention live-action movies that vary in terms of quality. Naturally,there were also attempts to cash in on this success. Some of those attempts were memorable in their own right, while others are best left forgotten....

The hills are alive! But does that mean they’re dangerous? That depends on who you ask. Last night,Saturday Night Liveventured into the world of musical governesses with an anachronistic take of the 1965 classicThe Sound of Music. Longtime cast memberKate McKinnonreturned as Maria, the governess who — in her own words — took the neighboring Von Trapp children and made them immediately perfect. While she declines the opportunity to do the same for the children before her, what with being stretched thin between puppet shows and fleeing the Nazis, she does bring them the next best thing: a similarly erratic former nun-turned-governess, played byAriana DeBose....

The box office forecast for Marvel’s friendly neighborhood Spider-Man is finally starting to take shape. Sony Pictures is now forecasting a weekend box office debut of $150 million forSpider-Man: No Way Home, the latest MCU adventure that promises to smash pandemic records. While it’s a bit short of the $190-to-$200 million originally forecast for the film,Spider-Man: No Way Homecould still be an early Christmas gift that keeps on giving for movie theater chains, Sony, and Marvel Studios....

We’ve already heard a lot aboutJared Leto’s take on theJoker,Margot RobbieasHarley Quinn,Will SmithasDeadshot, and bits aboutCara DelevigneasEnchantress. Now it’s time for a less central member ofDavid Ayer’sSuicide Squadto take the spotlight. In a recent interview withRama’s Screen, actorAdam Beachdiscussed his portrayal of DC villain Slipknot. On the differences between the character’s comic book roots and on-screen rendition, Beach said: Image via Warner Bros.[/caption] My version is basically a guy who’s just pissed off to be there, he’s an angry boy....

Ted Lassomay havehad the perfect ending to wrap up its storylines at the end of Season 3, but few fans of the show will be disappointed to hear thatthe Apple TV+ series is coming back for a fourth time. More episodes means more time with our favorite characters, with the namesake of the series, played byJason Sudeikis, leading the way. Ted is at once a lonely soul who will break your heart, yet also one of TV’s most uplifting characters ever, thanks to his positive outlook and his wise quotes....

The Snyder Cut certainly offers a grown-up, edgier take on superhero mythology. But with respect to Darkseid and all his cronies, it can never hold a “grown-up, edgy superhero” candle toThe Boys,Eric Kripke’s Amazon series take onGarth EnnisandDarick Robertson’s work. This show is ultraviolent, ultra-dark, ultra-satirical, and ultra-sexual in nature. And judging by this first image from its upcoming Season 3, things are just getting started. Kripke tweetedthis first picture from the set ofThe BoysSeason 3....
