The Newest Installment of Hulu’s Into the Dark Anthology Promises a Harrowing Take on Purity Culture

Purity culture, with purity rings and abstinence pledges and more patriarchal control than you can imagine, is terrifying enough on its own.

Netflix’s The I-Land Trailer Conjures Up the Scariest Thing of All…the Fyre Festival?

Netflix has released the first glimpse at The I-Land with a teaser clearly designed to rip on the announcement trailer for the failed Fyre Festival—even though the limited series doesn’t look to be about that at all.
