The reappearance of killers thought to be gone for good in Scream has sparked a lot of debate about what Scream 7 will be like. Some fans theorized the new movie would have a complex, self-aware layer, potentially allowing actors like Matthew Lillard and Skeet Ulrich to play versions of themselves within the Stab movies shown inside the Scream universe. However, writer Kevin Williamson now suggests Scream 7 will move away from the core elements that have defined the franchise.

For the past ten years, director Mike Flanagan has frequently collaborated with horror legend Stephen King, creating a series of popular adaptations. Flanagan skillfully brings King’s stories to life, as seen in critically acclaimed films like Gerald’s Game and the sequel to The Shining, Doctor Sleep. Even when branching out from horror with The Life of Chuck, starring Tom Hiddleston, the project received positive reviews, demonstrating a strong creative connection between Flanagan and King. Looking ahead, Flanagan plans to continue this successful partnership by adapting more of King’s most famous works.

The first volume of the manga came out in Japan on January 5th, 2026, and quickly sold over 266,000 copies that month. Even without being available outside of Japan, it was the sixth best-selling manga of the month. Now, more than five months after it began, the story is nearing its end. The manga, Modulo, has clearly entered its final arc, building towards a conclusion.

Over the years, the series has consistently improved, with each new game having its supporters and detractors. However, few games in the franchise—or in video games as a whole—have reached the level of Super Mario Bros. 3. It took everything that made the first game enjoyable and made it even better, quickly becoming a commercial and critical success. Even now, 36 years later, it’s still considered one of the greatest platforming games of all time.

Today marks the 31st anniversary of the Simpsons episode “Homie the Clown,” which originally aired on February 12, 1995. The episode features Homer attending clown college to become a local version of Krusty the Clown. Interestingly, the episode subtly explained the visual similarities between Homer and Krusty. Originally, writers considered the idea that Krusty was Homer in disguise, but they ultimately chose a different storyline.

With the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday set to unite heroes from the Avengers, Fantastic Four, and X-Men, it’s a great moment to remember the original superhero teams that paved the way for Marvel and comics as a whole.

As announced last month, a major update called Threads of Fate (patch 1.1) is now available for the game, adding a lot of exciting new content to an already great experience.

As a huge Spider-Man fan, I was really intrigued by the first trailer for the Spider-Noir series! It’s got such a dark and gritty vibe, and it’s clear this isn’t your typical friendly neighborhood hero. Apparently, this Spider-Man is actually Ben Reilly, not Peter Parker, and he’s going through a really rough patch – think bar fights and a bit too much to drink. It’s actually pretty wild because Sony previously had a deal with Marvel saying Spider-Man characters shouldn’t drink at all! It definitely makes you wonder who this damaged Spider-Man is, and what Nicolas Cage is going to bring to the role.

The story of Granny began in South Korea in 2019 and concluded in 2022. An upcoming live-action adaptation introduces a gritty world of gangsters and crime, reminiscent of Taro Sakamoto’s work. The plot centers around a grandmother who seeks revenge when her grandson is put into a coma after becoming involved with the mob. She’s given a dangerous opportunity: to become a weapon in exchange for justice. The new television series will star Lee Jung Eun, known for her roles in Heavenly Ever After, The Trunk, and The Frog, and Kim Mu Yeol, who appeared in Netflix’s Sweet Home. Though production hasn’t started yet, Granny has the potential to be a major success for Netflix.

Shows like Supernatural and The Good Place are really skilled at changing things up and keeping the story fresh. However, not all shows manage this well. Some fail because their changes feel out of character, become predictable, or happen too late in the series. For example, a vampire show that declined in quality after its main character became a vampire, or a CW mystery that lost its way, demonstrate how easily reinvention can go wrong.
