I was so thrilled to be invited by Universal to their Blood Red Carpet Celebration for the new attraction just a month after it opened! I, along with other members of the media, finally got to experience Horror Unleashed and see everything it had to offer. Now, I want to share my thoughts – how does it stack up against the regular, year-round Horror Nights? Here’s my breakdown.

The newest film in the popular animated series is currently breaking box office records globally, and its earnings over the third weekend have brought Infinity Castle very close to matching Superman’s total lifetime box office revenue.

When asked to pick the most shocking movie opening, Lillard immediately chose the murder scene at the beginning of *Scream*. He explained that killing off Drew Barrymore, who was a huge star at the time and featured prominently in the film’s marketing, was a bold move. Lillard believes this unexpected decision immediately signaled to the audience that anything could happen in the movie, setting the stage for the rest of the series.

A second season of the anime *The Summer Hikaru Died* is confirmed! Kadokawa, the publisher of the original manga by Mokumokuren, revealed the news on social media following the conclusion of the first season.

While discussing his new book, the author also offered some thoughts for fans looking forward to his future work. Titled *Smiley Day*, and launching on September 30th, the story follows Fresh Cut Grass, a kind and helpful robot, as he tries to guide his lively group of friends, Bells Hells. The book is illustrated by Thorn L. Knight, and though Fresh Cut Grass’s advice isn’t always practical, the story delivers a meaningful message. The author shared he was “really excited” to create something that families and younger readers could enjoy.

Based on what happened in previous years, it’s likely we’ll learn the release date for *Invincible* Season 4 at New York Comic-Con (NYCC).

After a long season, we finally found out who won the $750,000 prize on *Big Brother* Season 27! I wasn’t sure this finale would be as exciting as some recent ones, but as the show always says, anything can happen!

During an appearance at Fan Expo Chicago 2025, the actor responded to a question about his future work, noting he hadn’t filmed anything new since last spring. He then jokingly asked Disney for another season of *Obi-Wan Kenobi*, implying he’s looking for his next role (according to ThePopverse.com).

The first four episodes of *Gen V Season 2* (streaming now with Amazon Prime) kept viewers guessing about the true nature of Hamish Linklater’s character, Cipher… until now. The reveal is chilling: Cipher doesn’t use Compound V, but he *can* control people like puppets. This disturbing ability is uncovered during the intense fight between “Gender Bender” and “Blood Bender” in the latest episode, “Bags,” and it’s a particularly strong acting moment for London Thor, who plays Jordan alongside Derek Luh.

Director Stephen Elliot shared that they spent a considerable amount of time developing the visual concept for Terence Stamp’s character, Bernadette, even considering how he would look at 88 years old. This process involved a lot of experimentation and took time. When discussions about using AI to create a digital clone of Stamp arose, he was upset and insisted on having the opportunity to play the character himself, stating he wanted to be able to retire the role personally, ‘just in case I don’t make the start line.’
