Science fiction movies often get all the attention, but the genre also boasts some fantastic TV shows.

Even though the latest season of the show received poor reviews (with only a 22% rating on Rotten Tomatoes) and some viewers criticized certain creative decisions—like portraying a romantic connection between the killer and his victims—it’s still a hit on Netflix, largely thanks to the popular storyline about Ed Gein. Now, Sarah Paulson will star in season four, Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story, playing Aileen Wuornos, a woman known for her incredibly difficult life. It’s unclear why Aileen Wuornos is being featured in a story about Lizzie Borden, who lived in the 19th century, but the show is moving forward with this unusual pairing.
Paramount+ announced its January 2026 schedule of new shows and movies, with a spotlight on the return of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius. The popular Nickelodeon film, originally released in 2001, will be available on the streaming service starting January 1st.

While power fantasies work really well in games, adapting superheroes often means losing some of what makes those characters special. This happens because certain themes and ideas don’t easily translate into gameplay. A Nintendo game from over 30 years ago perfectly illustrates this problem, and it’s a challenge developers still grapple with today when bringing superheroes to life in games.
I remember when Scream came out – it totally proved that people still loved slasher movies! It just needed to be something new, something with a bit more to it. And wow, did people show up to see it!

During the Jump Festa 2026 event in Japan this weekend, it was announced that My Hero Academia will return for a special final episode.

The “Age of Apocalypse” storyline is a major event in Marvel Comics. Though often considered to have started with X-Men: Alpha in January 1995, the story actually began with a prelude called Legion Quest. In this story, David Haller, also known as Legion (son of Professor X), traveled back in time hoping to kill Magneto. However, he accidentally went to the wrong point in time. Legion’s mistake created an alternate timeline where Apocalypse rose to power, causing a devastating war. This event, which had a huge impact on the Marvel Universe, was first set in motion in X-Men #41, originally published on December 20, 1994.
These seven horror movies are consistently scary and engaging, and they rank among the best the genre has offered recently.
