10 Werewolf Movies to Watch Before the Next Full Moon

Being a werewolf is generally messy—there’s that agonizingly painful transformation process, the total loss of self-control, and just having to deal with all that fur everywhere.

The massive Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover is looming, but that’s apparently not the only thing fans of the CW’s DC superhero shows have to look forward to.

A Genetically Engineered ‘Happy Plant’ Turns on Its Maker in the Eerie Trailer for Little Joe

A corporate plant breeder (Emily Beecham) believes she’s created a flower that looks beautiful, smells divine, and has actual mood-enhancing powers. But as it turns out, nature may still be in control with far less benevolent intentions—as this new trailer for Little Joe reveals. Beecham (Into the Badlands) won the Best Actress prize at the…

Catching Up With CBS Psychological Horror Series Evil, aka ‘Satan Trolled Me’

CBS already had a show called God Friended Me, about people who do good deeds at the direction of what appears to be a celestial Facebook account.

Don’t Watch This Trailer for Antlers Unless You Want to Discover Its Big Secret

The first teaser for Scott Cooper’s Antlers—which is produced by Guillermo del Toro and is based on a story by Channel Zero’s Nick Antosca—dropped some pretty heavy hints about the peculiar family troubles facing the small boy at its center. But a new trailer reveals a whole hell of a lot more. Set in a…

American Horror Story: 1984 Is Killing It

A show as long-running and as thematically varied as American Horror Story isn’t going to please every fan every season (the “timely” Cult was a low point, but last year’s crossover, Apocalypse, was fabulous). From its very first promos, I had a good feeling about AHS: 1984—and so far the slasher homage has not let…

Much like the female protagonist of Witchboard, the deliciously cheesy 1986 cautionary tale about why you should never use an Ouija board improperly, I have an obsession. But I’m not obsessed with talking to ghosts. I’m just obsessed with Witchboard. The feature debut of writer-director Kevin Tenney—whose second film, 1988’s Night of the Demons, is…
