Horror films as we know them today began in the 20th century. Early classics like Nosferatu, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, The Phantom of the Opera, Dracula, and Frankenstein laid the foundation for the genre’s huge popularity. Later, films like Night of the Living Dead, Psycho, Rosemary’s Baby, Jaws, Halloween, The Exorcist, Alien, The Thing, The Shining, Poltergeist, Scream, and The Blair Witch Project were released, building on that foundation and inspiring the horror films we enjoy now in the 21st century.

I remember when Mario Kart first came out – it wasn’t the very first racing game of its kind, but it totally blew everything else away! It was a huge hit, and a bunch of copycats tried to follow in its tire tracks, but none of them quite measured up to Nintendo’s fantastic game. Then Crash Team Racing came along in 1999, and it took the Mario Kart formula and really turned it up a notch with faster speeds and a more exciting feel. It wasn’t groundbreakingly original, but honestly, who cared? It’s still one of the best kart racers from the 90s, and a lot of fans – myself included – actually think it’s even better than the original Mario Kart!

The earlier God of War games, focusing on Greek mythology for the PlayStation 2 and 3, were more lighthearted and over-the-top in style. The newer games, based on Norse mythology, have become more serious and mature.

A new Resident Evil movie is currently being filmed with Zach Cregger – known for directing Barbarian and Weapons – at the helm. This film won’t be a direct remake of any specific game, but rather a completely new story set within the Resident Evil universe. It won’t feature familiar characters like Leon Kennedy or Jill Valentine. Oliver Berben, CEO of Constantin Film, recently told Deadline that the movie is intentionally different from the games, and fans shouldn’t expect a close adaptation. He explained that Zach Cregger is bringing his own unique vision to the project, making it quite distinct from what’s come before.

Despite being released over seven months ago, the popular anime movie still isn’t available on Crunchyroll. Recent showings in theaters have actually pushed back its streaming release date. Another major anime film from this year, Chainsaw Man The Movie – Reze Arc, premiered in Japan in September and, while you can rent it on Amazon Prime and it’s available in some regions, it’s not yet available for regular streaming either. It’s frustrating that fans can’t easily watch these two big anime movies, but that might change in the near future.

Kylie Minogue, the global pop icon who’s been reinventing herself for decades, has officially joined the Barbie Signature lineup with a collector doll that captures her show-stopping “Padam Padam” aesthetic. 

A new rumor from Nintendo insider Nash Weedle suggests we might see a new 3D Mario game revealed this week. Weedle has a good track record – they correctly predicted the announcement of a new Donkey Kong game at the last Nintendo Direct. This announcement hinges on whether Nintendo’s planned Direct happens as scheduled, as these presentations are sometimes postponed.

The new Resident Evil game will be the largest in the series ever released, needing significantly more storage space than previous titles. It requires much more space than Resident Evil 4 (58GB) and is nearly three times bigger than Resident Evil Village, which needed 27.3GB.
