Channing Tatum recently shared that the directors of the upcoming film *Doomsday*, Joe and Anthony Russo, asked him to tone down his Cajun accent. He explained in an interview with People that they wanted to maintain a focused and intense atmosphere in the movie, and that influenced how much of the accent he could use. He’s been working to find the right balance for his role in the film, which is scheduled to come out in 2026.

Ethan Slater recently discussed his return to the role of Boq in the upcoming movie, *Wicked: For Good*, while attending the premiere of *Gen V* Season 2. He currently appears in *Gen V*, a spin-off of *The Boys*, playing the character Thomas Godolkin, who is also the founder of God U.

Okay, so I was a little bummed when Billie’s story seemed to take a backseat after season two. But get this – she actually showed up in *Vampirina: Teenage Vampire*! This new Disney show is about Vee, a young vampire who moves from Transylvania to a regular boarding school and tries to keep her vampire life a secret. Turns out Billie and Vee already knew each other, which was a really cool surprise! It basically confirms that both shows exist in the same universe, and I’m hoping for a proper crossover episode sometime soon – that would be awesome!

Natalie briefly appeared at the end of the last episode when Goodwin called her with the shocking news that Owen had been shot. This marked the third time actress Marina Squerciati has made a surprise appearance since leaving the show as a regular cast member. Her return is connected to a much more serious event than Will’s departure in Season 8, and she’ll be heavily involved in the new episode, “Horseshoes and Hand Grenades,” airing October 15th. You can watch the show’s 200th episode now with a Peacock subscription.

The film begins in 1982, four years after the events of the first movie. Finn, the sole survivor of The Grabber, managed to defeat him, but still struggles with the trauma. He tries to cope by smoking weed to quiet the constant ringing in his ears – a phantom sound from a broken phone. His younger sister, Gwen, is also haunted by the same ringing and terrifying dreams of abused children beneath a frozen lake. These dreams, and a particularly disturbing one where she speaks to her deceased mother who shares similar visions, propel the story forward.

Created with a remarkably small budget of around $33,000, this film tells a haunting and unusual story about a woman who barely survives a car accident and then feels lost in a world that doesn’t seem to acknowledge her. Though it initially failed at the box office, the movie was rediscovered decades later through late-night television, eventually gaining a dedicated and devoted cult following. *Carnival of Souls* became a hugely influential independent horror film, and its surreal style and eerie atmosphere directly inspired iconic directors like David Lynch and George A. Romero.

Released in 2001, the film wasn’t just about space travel; it boldly explored the complicated connection between people and the technology they create. The film’s AI character, HAL 9000, became the model for all future stories about AI gone wrong, but its message was more nuanced than a simple ‘robots taking over’ scenario. Looking back, it’s remarkable how the film predicted the ethical, emotional, and philosophical challenges we face with AI today, decades before AI became commonplace.

During a conversation with Russ Milheim from TopMob, Mason Thames and Madeleine McGraw, the stars of *Black Phone 2*, talked about the strong connection between their characters as siblings and explained why that relationship is central to the story.

Freddy Krueger’s origins are detailed in the first *A Nightmare on Elm Street* film and explored further in subsequent movies, particularly *Freddy’s Dead* (though with some alterations). This backstory also formed the foundation for the first episode of the *Nightmare on Elm Street* television series, which aired for two seasons (44 episodes total) from 1988 to 1990. Now is the perfect time for those who haven’t seen the series, or want to rewatch it.
