Lizzie Blake knows that she’s a lot. A lot of energy and enthusiasm. A lot of creativity and vibrant warmth. But also a lot of mess and chaos. Her attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder can make things difficult, given that she lives in a world built for people whose brains don’t function like hers. After a lifetime of
It’s wild that the demonic nun known as Valak has become such a horror icon, starring in her own movie back in 2018 with a sequel on the way, because the character almost didn’t even make it into The Conjuring 2. As James Wan has noted in the past, Valak was actually a final hour replacement for
Ricky Martin says he’s been “persecuted, besieged, harassed, stalked and extorted by a maladjusted person” — AKA his nephew — and he’s now suing the guy who made wild accusations against him. Martin filed a lawsuit Wednesday in San Juan against Dennis Yadiel Sanchez, who the singer claims is trying to “assassinate” his reputation. Dennis

The Conners fans were left in shock last month when it was announced that Michael Fishman would not be back for Season 5. Fishman has played D.J. Conner since 1998 on the hit comedy series Roseanne. He returned for the revival and stayed on as a regular for the spinoff The Conners after that show
Splatoon is one of the few franchises I can proudly say I’ve been with since the very beginning. In May 2015, Nintendo unleashed a brand new IP that revolutionised the third-person shooter genre. It went on to sell almost 5 million units, meaning it was purchased by over 1/3rd of the install base of the
A new study has shown that the concept of the mammalian ‘lizard brain’ can be well and truly put to bed. Based on a study that examined brains of bearded dragons (Pogona vitticeps), large lizards from the Australian desert, scientists have shown that mammal and reptile brains evolved separately from a common ancestor. It’s another

Much has been made about George Romero‘s legendary Japanese commercial for Resident Evil 2 (or Biohazard 2, if you want to get technical), but at least that was filmed. George Romero’s Resident Evil film, however, is a different story. We talked about this ultimate “What if?” a few years ago, and now thanks to Jason

Broadway gave Billy Crystal a fine send-off last week, with the star’s Mr. Saturday Night musical grossing more than $1 million during its final week of performances. That number – $1,014,614, to be precise – is a big jump over the show’s weekly box office takes in recent months. About 98% of seats at the
When you review a free-to-play game, you can often spend more time on the monetisation model than the game itself. Nothing comes completely free, after all: we need to know what has been compromised in the transition to free-to-play. Is there enough within the free stuff to make it worth playing? And should the paid
It could be raining diamonds on planets throughout the Universe, scientists suggested Friday, after using common plastic to recreate the strange precipitation believed to form deep inside Uranus and Neptune. Scientists had previously theorized that extremely high pressure and temperatures turn hydrogen and carbon into solid diamonds thousands of kilometers below the surface of the
On August 9, Joe Biden signed into law the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022. The move marked a victory for a presidential administration in dire need of a win and the culmination of a hard-fought, months-long battle that ended with broad bipartisan support. Among the chief criticism leading up to the bill’s passage were
Mark Rosman‘s The House on Sorority Row (1982) and Stewart Hendler‘s Sorority Row (2009) feel shoved aside in their respective horror classes. Titles like Pieces, Black Christmas, and The Dorm That Dripped Blood get more frequent mentions when discussing pre-90s sorority or dormitory slashers. Remake debates rarely include Sorority Row in their reassessments of unfairly

Following her final performance as Mystique in 2019’s Dark Phoenix, Jennifer Lawrence was absent from the acting scene until she returned late last year as one of the ensemble players in the Adam McKay-helmed Netflix movie Don’t Look Up. As far as her personal life goes though, that’s been quite eventful, because in addition to
Johnny Depp‘s attorney, Camille Vasquez, has another star she’s representing in court — though the case has nothing to do with Amber Heard — or a sour relationship, for that matter. Camille and attorney Steve Cook from Brown Rudnick LLP are set to rep actress Q’orianka Kilcher, who’s made a name for herself on the

There are all kinds of pollutants in the air around us. Outdoors, these can be washed away through the falling rain, and the oxidation that happens after ultraviolet light from the Sun interacts with ozone and water vapor. So, what happens indoors? As a new study shows, there’s also some oxidation going on indoors too:
Author Peter Straub died this past Sunday in Manhattan due to complications of a broken hip. Straub, born in Milwaukee on March 2, 1943, was a popular horror novelist with a somewhat unorthodox pedigree— before turning to writing about the fantastical, he had published short collections of poetry. Although he was reluctant to label his

There’s no better way to kick off Halloween season than with Universal Orlando’s always epic Halloween Horror Nights, which opened this past Thursday jam-packed with several new houses and scare zones infested with bugs, cursed by witches, and hunted down by chupacabras.

Today, it’s on the brink of death: a huge, red ball of flame, glaring like a baleful, bloodshot eye before it winks out into a tiny pinprick of degenerate matter.
