Netflix's 1980s Scifi Throwback Stranger Things Is Must-(Binge-)Watch TV
Stranger Things—an eight-part Netflix series that debuts July 15—is set in the 1980s and is heavily influenced by Stephen King and Steven Spielberg works of the era, including E.T., Firestarter, It, Stand By Me, and Poltergeist. Heavily, heavily influenced. Is that a bad thing? Certainly not when it’s this much fun to…
It's Time to Save the World (Again) in the First Ash vs Evil Dead Season Two Teaser
The boomstick, the chainsaw, gushing guts galore, a puppet, and a mechanical bull—all have their very brief moments in this tantalizingly quick teaser for Ash vs Evil Dead’s second season, which comes on the heels of last week’s new image from the show. (That’s another new one, above.)
Stanley Kubrick's Daughter Has Some Choice Words for Moon Landing Truthers
Between Room 237, Moonwalkers, the Flat Earth Society and other conspiracy theorists, and humankind’s general eagerness to believe anything that sounds strange enough to be true, the idea that Stanley Kubrick helped fake the Moon landings persists. And the director’s daughter is SICK OF IT.
What Science Fiction Spin-Off Movies Are You Dying to See?
We’ve been waiting our entire Star Wars-obsessed lives for a movie about young Han Solo—but the agony is almost over, because we’ll finally be getting it in 2018. This means we can now turn our energy to waiting desperately for other science fiction-fantasy properties with potential spin-offs.
That True Blood Musical Is Apparently Still Happening
The idea of a True Blood musical has been bandied about since the vampire drama concluded its HBO run in 2014. Composer Nathan Barr, who worked on all seven seasons of the show, revealed he’d pitched the concept to show creator Alan Ball, with hopes of “returning to the roots” of the story ... in song.
The Post-Apocalypse Is One Big Dance-Off in This Mad Max-Inspired Music Video

I hadn’t heard of musician Lindsey Stirling before her new video for “The Arena,” but she appears to have cornered the market on violin-infused electronic music. She also dances better while wielding a violin than most people can with nothing in their hands. And she seems to be a Mad Max series fan.
Descend Into Weirdness With the New Blu-ray of Italian Horror Classic Cat in the Brain
Italian horror master Lucio Fulci (The Beyond, Zombi 2) plays ... an Italian horror master named Lucio Fulci in 1990's Cat in the Brain, one of the last films he made before his death. Equal parts meta, insane, and violent, Cat in the Brain, aka Nightmare Concert, is now getting a handsome Blu-ray from Grindhouse…
Team Ash vs Evil Dead Looks Ready to Kick Deadite Ass in This New Season Two Image
It’s not as festive as the first image we saw teasing Ash vs Evil Dead season two—but this one sends a clear message: party’s over, and the fight is back on. And it looks like Ruby (Lucy Lawless), Ash’s nemesis throughout season one, is now part of the team with Pablo (Ray Santiago), Kelly (Dana DeLorenzo), and “El…
Here's Another Glimpse of Mutant Dan Stevens on the X-Men TV Series Legion
In May, we got a look at Dan Stevens looking more moody than superpowered in the above first publicity still for Legion, the forthcoming show from Noah Hawley (Fargo) about the X-Men character of the same name. Now Hawley’s shared a photo of Stevens, as David “Legion” Haller, looking a bit more agitated.
Harry Potter's Nemesis Joins the Cast of The Flash
Tom “Draco Malfoy” Felton will be a series regular on The Flash when it returns in the fall, as one of Barry Allen’s new co-workers at the Central City Police Department. Will he play a villain? (Does he ever not play a villain?) And what will his role mean in the season three’s Flashpoint storyline?
The It Movies Have Just Started Filming and They're Already Freaking Us Out
Andy Muschietti is best-known for the Jessica Chastain-starring horror movie Mama, but that will surely change once his two-part adaptation of Stephen King’s It is released. The director has been posting behind-the-scenes snaps to his Instagram, including a possible peek at the story’s most-feared character.
Netflix's Stranger Things TV Series Openly Worships at the Altar of Spielberg
The debut of Netflix’s Stranger Things is just a few weeks away, and while this new trailer gives us a glimpse of its biggest-name star, Winona Ryder, it focuses on the four boys and mysterious girl who are the real focus of this E.T.-meets-Close Encounters of the Third Kind-meets-”basically everything Steven…
Reality Sucks (With Good Reason) for Futuristic Gamers in Short Pandora's Box
Virtual, or La Caja de Pandora (translation: Pandora’s Box), packs an awful lot of video-game theatrics, grimy real-world atmospherics, and fiery special effects into 15 minutes—no wonder creator Daniel Hernández Torrado, an avowed lover of science fiction and video games, had dreams of making it into a feature film.
Zoo Is Back and It's Somehow Even More Ridiculous Than Ever
The second season of Zoo, CBS’ bonkers thriller about a global animal uprising, premiered last night with a double episode. Not only did this mean more globe-trotting for our fearless team (who now have a super-swanky plane), but a “phase two mutation” may be out there, making the animals crazier than ever.
Why Wayward Pines Should Probably End With the Complete Extinction of the Human Race
Wayward Pines is halfway through its second season, and it’s moved way beyond the questions that drove its initial narrative. Everyone on the show knows where they are; a voice-over every week brings new viewers up to speed. But why they’re there still remains a mystery—and it’s something season two is struggling to…
The Star City PD Adds a New Detective as Arrow's Cast Continues to Expand
There’ll be a new face in Star City next season on the CW’s Arrow: Tyler Ritter (The McCarthys) as Detective Malone, added to the police force after Captain Lance (Paul Blackthorne) peaced out in season four.
