Although Stranger Things helped popularize a wave of similar shows, its own roots lie in earlier stories. The creators of the Netflix series drew inspiration from filmmakers like Steven Spielberg, and other storytellers who influenced them during their childhoods. A particularly overlooked influence is a 2011 film that shares many of the same themes and elements that Stranger Things fans enjoy. This movie offers a surprisingly similar narrative and is currently available to stream, offering something to watch while audiences wait for the final season of Stranger Things.

In a new Netflix documentary called Being Eddie, the actor revealed that Yul Brynner, a famous Hollywood star, made a pass at him on his 21st birthday.

Last week, the former Bachelor announced he’s engaged to his girlfriend, Georgia May. On Sunday, he was photographed working out at the outdoor gym in North Bondi when something awkward happened.

Following the news of her death at age 89 on Monday, Bruce Dern spoke fondly of his former wife, Diane Ladd, who passed away at her home in Ojai, California.

A recent question for Alex Perez, a source close to the Cosmic Circus, revealed that upcoming Marvel shows will connect to future Marvel movies, including potential storylines like Avengers: Doomsday or Avengers: Secret Wars. Perez confirmed this connection, stating that characters will indeed appear in both the shows and the movies, which is sure to please fans.

As a huge DC fan, I’m really excited about the upcoming Clayface movie! You might remember Clayface popping up in Creature Commandos, but this film is going to dive deep into his origin story – how he became the terrifying shapeshifter we know. Originally, Mike Flanagan – the brilliant mind behind so many great horror projects – was writing the script. Sadly, scheduling conflicts meant he couldn’t direct, but thankfully, the core of his vision is still very much present in the final product.

In the first season of Absentia, Emily didn’t just struggle with the trauma of being held captive for six years. She was also falsely accused of kidnapping her son and endured abuse at the hands of her husband, Nick Durand (Patrick Heusinger), who moved on and remarried while she was believed to be dead. The source of all her problems turned out to be the serial killer responsible for her initial capture, and his true identity was revealed in a surprising twist fueled by revenge.

As a horror fan, I’ve noticed something really interesting lately. It’s not just about jump scares anymore. Today’s horror movies are digging deeper, showing us characters who are genuinely broken and dealing with serious trauma. These aren’t just screams – it’s raw emotion and vulnerability that really sticks with you. Honestly, the performances we’ve seen in the last decade are some of the best I’ve ever witnessed, and not just within the horror genre – they stand up with the greats across all kinds of movies.
