Wes Craven, a master of horror, wrote and directed A Nightmare on Elm Street. The film initially received an R rating after two edits due to its intense and frightening content. Even after those changes, the final version remains disturbing, from the eerie childhood rhyme (“1, 2, Freddy’s coming for you. 3, 4, better lock your door”) to the unsettling visuals and violent scenes. The core idea and the terrifying character of Freddy Krueger still feel incredibly frightening after 41 years.

Michael Rooker and James Gunn first worked together on Gunn’s 2006 horror film, Slither. So, it’s interesting that Rooker also appeared in the much grimmer Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, which premiered at a film festival in 1986. Co-written by Richard Fire and directed by John McNaughton, Henry struggled to find distribution despite the popularity of violent movies at the time. The original movie poster, painted by Joe Coleman, was even rejected for being too disturbing for marketing purposes. While inspired by real events, the film’s story is unique among serial killer narratives. Released around the time FBI profiling of serial killers was just beginning, Henry almost feels like a commentary on that new investigative technique. Despite not being entirely realistic, the film’s power comes from the chilling possibility that someone like Henry could actually exist—a testament to Michael Rooker’s acting ability.

I’m really excited for the third season of Solo Leveling! It looks like Sung Jinwoo is finally going to confront one of the Monarchs – Legia, also sometimes called Regia. She’s the Monarch of the Beginning and rules over the Giants. This fight seems incredibly important, and it’s going to reveal a lot about the history and world of Solo Leveling. Knowing Sung Jinwoo, though, I have a feeling this Monarch won’t last very long – he tends to defeat his enemies pretty quickly!

TopMob attended New York Comic-Con (NYCC) 2025 and spoke with the cast of Black Phone 2. They discussed how their characters will evolve in the sequel and how the story took a surprising turn.

Disney is the clear leader in the theme park industry, so other companies naturally watch their decisions when planning their own strategies. However, a recent test at Universal Orlando has me worried that the second-largest theme park company might be making some questionable choices based on Disney’s example.

The new film reunites the original cast, including Josh Hutcherson as Mike Schmidt, Elizabeth Lail as Vanessa, Piper Rubio as Abby, and Matthew Lillard as William Afton. Joining them are new actors like Skeet Ulrich, McKenna Grace, Megan Fox, Kellen Goff, and even YouTuber MatPat, among others.

In the years following, the new X-Files has been developing gradually, partly because Ryan Coogler has been busy expanding the Black Panther universe within the Marvel Cinematic Universe and creating his horror series, Sinners. While promoting Sinners, the two-time Oscar nominee confirmed the X-Files reboot would be his next focus, and reports soon emerged that a lead actor was already being considered.

The story of House of the Dragon comes from an existing book, so fans likely already know what happens to the characters. After the divisive finale of Game of Thrones in 2019, HBO is hoping to revitalize the series with this prequel, which focuses on a historical civil war called the Dance of the Dragons. The show takes place almost 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones, and is based on material George R.R. Martin has been writing since the 1990s.
