Though it didn’t quite make its March 6 release date, Senscape’s long-awaited horror adventure title Asylum is finally out now on Steam and Gog.com. The Steam version currently has a 10% discount on now until March 20.

Asylum was announced way back in 2010, and is the spiritual successor to the cult classic Scratches. This first-person horror adventure is crafted in the grindhouse style of 80s horror (including its soundtrack), drawing inspiration from H. P. Lovecraft’s stories, the iconic gothic style of Hammer Films, and the twisted horror legacy of Lucio Fulci. As the description states on the Steam page, the game is “the kind of slow-burning horror with an old-school sensibility that creeps upon you.”

Asylum casts players into the hallucinatory setting of the Hanwell Mental Institute. As an ex-patient suffering bizarre visions, you must explore the intricate layout of the building, research its past history, and march towards a shocking conclusion.

On Thursday March 13 2025, NBC broadcasts an episode of the series Found!

Missing While Seeking Asylum Season 2 Episode 15 Episode Summary

The episode highlights the importance of addressing these issues and the impact they have on families and communities.

In addition to the main storyline, Zeke finds himself struggling with his feelings for someone close to him.

Marvel has created some of the most iconic superheroes in comic book history, so it was only a matter of time before mockbusters manifested. Whether it's Spider-Man, Captain America, or even Daredevil, filmmakers have long attempted to cash in on these legendary characters; sometimes as blatant knockoffs, other times as affectionate homages, and on occasion as baffling hybrids of both. With their low budgets and borderline intellectual property theft, most mockbusters are easy to dismiss as shameless cash grabs. However, even when a film is just Iron Man with a fraction of the budget, there is usually something to admire; whether it's the creative marketing needed to dodge Disney’s legal team, the bizarre reinventions that arise when filmmakers have not actually seen the movie they are copying, or just the sheer audacity to release something so wildly off base.

Superheroes have always existed in a world of contested copyrights and creative overlap.

Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk's pulpy, campy horror anthology series "American Horror Story" isn't for everyone, but fans of the show are fortunate in that there is now a lot of it to love. Since each season tackles a different subgenre within horror, everyone is bound to have favorites based on what kind of horror they prefer. Slasher fans might prefer season 9, "American Horror Story: 1984," which is set at a summer camp and riffs on classic 1970s and 1980s slashers, while fans of spooky, sexy, silly vampire stories might prefer season 5, "American Horror Story: Hotel." It's hard to objectively pick one best season because of the bias of subgenre preference (although we did try to rank the scariest seasons), but one way to see what's most beloved overall is to look at the user ratings over on IMDb.

If you tally up the overall average user ranking for each episode,...

Originally published in 1918, Edgar Rice Burroughs’ The Land That Time Forgot has inspired multiple adaptations, most notably Kevin Connor’s 1974 film. Now, the story returns to the screen courtesy of The Asylum, who previously tackled the tale in 2009. Can this new adaptation deliver a mix of nostalgia and modern sensibilities, while staying true to the spirit of the original novel?

The movie opens with a tense and chaotic sequence as the crew of a Russian submarine launches a surprise attack on an Australian naval vessel in the Bering Sea. The reasons behind the attack as well as the Aussie’s presence so far from home remain unclear, but the ship is destroyed.

Among the survivors are Lt. Tim Olson, Bradley, and Tyler. They manage...

Scream 7 adds to its star-studded cast by adding one of the most recognizable faces on the daytime talk show circuit. The anticipated slasher sequel sees award-winning host Mark Consuelos become the latest name to join the project.

According to Deadline, Live with Kelly & Mark co-host Mark Consuelos, also known for Riverdale, has joined the Scream 7 cast in an undisclosed role. Consuelos won his first Emmy Award last year for his work on Live with Kelly & Mark alongside his wife and talk show veteran, Kelly Ripa.

Scream 7 just announced the casting of a major star in an important new role--however, it undermines something set up in a previous film.

While Consuelos has garnered more recent acclaim for his talk show exploits, the Spaniard has enjoyed a 30-year acting career dating back to his award-winning run on the popular soap opera,...

For seemingly no reason, and with no advance warning, the world comes to a stop for everyone except one man, who goes on a mission to uncover the mystery in Pause, a new six-issue comics series from John Carpenter’s Tales of Science Fiction, an imprint of Storm King Comics.

Issue No. 1 of John Carpenter’s Tales of Science Fiction — Pause will debut exclusively in comic book stores on February 26, 2025, with subsequent issues available monthly through July.

Written by Matthew K. Manning and illustrated by Conor Boyle, with lettering by Janice Chiang, Pause is a dark, compelling tale that begins on an ordinary night in Brooklyn as Henry Jacobs finds himself, as usual, having thrown back one too many. Henry is no stranger to the unexpected consequences of drinking too much, but he’s not prepared for what happens when he boards a subway and is the only person unaffected when,...

American Horror Story (AHS) is a groundbreaking anthology series that has reinvented horror television. Each season presents a self-contained miniseries within a fictional universe, complete with a new setting, characters and storyline. Whether it’s the ghostly torment of Murder House or the institutional terrors of Asylum, AHS captivates audiences with its richly woven tales inspired by true events and vivid imaginations. Its versatility extends to its cast, with standout performances from recurring actors like Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, and Evan Peters. AHS’s spin-off series, American Horror Stories, and its occasional cross-season connections lend to the show’s cultural significance.

In the 1980s, Batman had a litany of mature, gritty stories that would inform his character for decades to come. 1989’s Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth is much in the same vein. This collaboration between writer Grant Morrison and Dave McKean has since cemented itself as an unforgettable work in the Caped Crusader’s library of gothic and crime-ridden tales.

Ever since I re-entered the world of comics in the early 2010s, I quickly caught up on the highly-touted stories of DC’s nocturnal vigilante. The Dark Knight Returns, Year One, and The Killing Joke quickly informed me of what modern Batman truly is, beyond the Tim Burton films and the iconic '90s animated series.

A Serious House on Serious Earth was on my radar, but I simply never got around to picking it up. In 2024, that changed on a chance trip to a nearby comic book store.

People were expecting George R.R. Martin to have a cameo in the world of Game of Thrones somewhere, but that has not materialized in any of the Game of Thrones shows that are on the air. However, there is a different IP A Song of Ice and Fire author ended up with a cameo in.

Warning: This list contains discussion of extreme violence and sexual assault.

Heroes are nothing without their villains, and that is especially true under the DC Comics banner. How much the audience loves its protagonist is often decided by how much it hates the antagonist. When it comes to the "heels" of DC, they offer plenty of reasons for readers to hate them.

DC Comics has a tendency to go darker than its superhero universe counterparts, and that darkness offers more opportunity to deliver stories where the villains can be downright despicable. Rather than just plant bombs or indulge in cartoonish plots, DC's villains often commit despicable, even disgusting acts of villainy. Batman's rogues gallery alone is a threat to the entire DC Universe, but the universe at large is filled with grimy evildoers who have committed crimes that would make anyone clutch their pearls.

Margot Robbie was almost cast in American Horror Story: Asylum? (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Back in 2012, Margot Robbie auditioned for American Horror Story: Asylum, the season packed with all things creepy and Emmy-worthy. But despite delivering an audition that made jaws drop, she didn’t land the role.

Casting director Eric Dawson spilled the beans on Backstage’s In the Envelope: The Actor’s Podcast, calling Robbie’s audition one of his “favorites of all time.” He said, “She was such a star. It was crazy, her star appeal when she walked in the room. Even though she didn’t get that role, you just knew—this is a star. What do we do with her?”

At that point, Margot was fresh off the short-lived Pan Am (2011–2012), where she played a 1960s stewardess—sadly, the show didn’t take off, but Robbie’s ambition was about to. With a fearless mindset,...

Though The Penguin followed Colin Farrell as Oz Cobb/The Penguin, Cristin Milioti stole the show as Sofia Falcone. Wrongfully sent to Arkham asylum by her father, mob boss Carmine Falcone, she is out for power and revenge, and Oz is a major obstacle on her way to dominating Gotham's criminal underworld. While The Penguin is arguably Oz's show, audiences were captivated by Sofia and her tragic life story, which ended with her back in Arkham Asylum.

Naturally, that brings the question: What's next for Sofia? Recently, Milioti spoke with IndieWire about her character's future:

It just seemed like there are infinite possibilities of where she could go. Obviously I would want to see her get out of Arkham. That’s like number one. I don’t want her in there. So I want to see her get out there, and then exact revenge. Maybe now she would be even more of a loose cannon,...

American Horror Story is one of FX’s most successful series to date, airing for 12 cycles (and 132 episodes) since 2011 and winning 17 Emmys along the way. In January 2020, the cable network made the bold decision to renew Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk‘s horror anthology series for three more installments — Season 11, Season 12, and Season 13. That ensures the flagship show will be on our TV screens through at least the year 2025. Scary good!

Here’s everything to know so far about American Horror Story Season 13. Bookmark this page as we’ll be updating it whenever new information is revealed.

American Horror Story Season 13 Update

In October 2024, FX chairman John Landgraf gave an update on the future of AHS when he told Variety, “One of the reasons that I thought that American Horror Story was such a brilliant...

The 2011 horror anthology series "American Horror Story," co-created by Brad Falchuk and TV juggernaut Ryan Murphy, is presented in a novel fashion. Each one of its 12 seasons stands as a wholly independent 10-to-13-episode miniseries, with each one featuring a unique set of characters and a new timeframe/location. Murphy and Falchuk select a traditionally Halloween-y horror topic or premise -- a haunted house, vampires, a witch coven, a circus sideshow, extraterrestrials, cultists -- and then spin it out in their own sensationalistic idiom. "American Horror Story" tends to be salacious and stylized, and its sheer variety have kept audiences coming back for years.

Note: "American Horror Story" is not to be confused with the 2021 series "American Horror Stories," which is actually a spinoff. "Stories" is a more traditional "Tales from the Crypt"-like anthology show, with each episode featuring an original story and its own unique cast of actors.

Following its very successful crowdfunding campaign, Amicus Productions was resurrected, with plans to develop a brand new horror anthology film, the first from Amicus since 1974's Beyond the Grave. In the tradition of films like Tales From the Crypt and Asylum, In the Grip of Terror has been in production, and we have first-look photos from the film's The One-Way Ward segment, starring Jane Merrow, Megan Tremethick, Jonathan Hansler, and Chris Capaldi:

"Amicus Productions, the iconic British horror brand synonymous with classic anthology films, proudly announces the participation of legendary screen actress and Golden Globe nominee Jane Merrow (The Lion in Winter, The System) in its highly anticipated return to the genre. Merrow stars as Matron Margaret, a commanding figure in the chilling hospital-set segment The One-Way Ward, inspired by H.P. Lovecraft’s horror short story Cool Air.

Joining Jane Merrow is Megan Tremethick (Ghost Crew, The Slave and...

Arkham Asylum may have been reduced to rubble in 2021, but this iconic piece of Batman lore is back—and it’s more terrifying than ever. The real horror, however, is up for debate: is it the swarm of social media influencers descending on its haunted ruins, or the blood-soaked chaos unleashed by the Dark Knight’s newest nemesis?

While Arkham Asylum may no longer house Gotham’s most infamous, criminally insane criminals, it has once again become a key piece of Batman lore...

Batman and Robin #16, by Phillip Kennedy Johnson, Carmine Di Giandomenico, Miguel Mendonca, Marcelo Maiolo, and Steve Wands, is set for full release on December 11, 2024.

With a nickname like the Dark Knight, it’s no wonder that Batman is often considered one of DC Comics’ most melancholy heroes. From his reputation as a brooding loner to his traditional darker color scheme, Bruce Wayne is, in many ways, one of fiction’s greatest emo boys.

Throughout his decades of history, Wayne has proven on more than one occasion just how much of an edgelord he can really be. And while this list can’t possibly cover every aspect of Bruce’s decades-long goth phase, the entries below are some of Batman’s greatest emo moments that fans won’t want to forget.

American Horror Story has almost been running for a decade and a half. Over its run so far, the show has been host to countless celebrity cameos, some of which just appeared in a single scene or episodes, others had a mini-arc within the season. Although they might not be a main character in the grand scheme of things, it is still nice when a celebrity makes a cameo in the show, just for the sake of being recognizable and breaking up the dark and serious themes of American Horror Story.

Some celebrities who have had a cameo on the show have enjoyed their time as part of the American Horror Story universe so much that they have returned in future seasons in a starring role. Despite there being countless celebrity cameos in the show, ranging from Lady Gaga as Scathach to Leslie Jordan, there are a handful that have had a greater impact,...

Smallville follows a young Clark Kent as he tries to find his place in the world before becoming the iconic superhero. Clark struggles to understand and harness his growing abilities while protecting his secret. Twenty years later, Smallville is still a staple in the DC Universe; the special effects are a little outdated, but the show has a lot of heart that has helped it stand the test of time.

Over Smallville's ten seasons, there were plenty of great guest stars and characters. One of the more underrated actors to appear in Smallville is Ron Selmour. Selmour guest starred in three episodes, playing two different characters. In the early years, he portrayed an orderly working at the Belle Reve named Connelly, and in season eight, he played a pirate named Marcos who had a pivotal role in Oliver Queen's backstory.

Senscape’s long-awaited horror adventure game Asylum finally has a release date. The game, which has been in development since it was announced way back in 2010, will arrive on Steam and Gog.com on March 6, 2025. We’ve even got a new trailer, showcasing the game’s haunting atmosphere and twisted storyline.

A spiritual successor to the cult classic Scratches, Asylum is a first-person horror adventure crafted in the grindhouse style of 80s horror, drawing inspiration from H. P. Lovecraft’s stories, the iconic gothic style of Hammer Films, and the twisted horror legacy of Lucio Fulci.

Senscape is purposely keeping the story for Aslyum under wraps for now, but it’s set within the sprawling, decaying walls of the Hanwell Mental Institute. The game aims for a gripping journey filled with mystery, puzzles, and an ambiance that will keep players on edge throughout its 15 hours of gameplay. Asylum aims to be a slow-burning horror experience,...

Haunted houses have always been a staple of horror, and TV has delivered some of the creepiest ones you’ll ever see.

From eerie mansions with dark secrets to ghost-filled homes that trap anyone who enters, these haunted houses will make your skin crawl.

Whether they’re filled with malevolent spirits, supernatural forces, or just the unsettling unknown, these TV haunts take terror to a whole new level.

Cameron Crowe has offered an update on the Joni Mitchell biopic he’s directing.

The filmmaker and lifelong Joni Mitchell fan was originally revealed to have been secretly working on the film in 2023, and now, he’s offered some more details in an interview with Ultimate Classic Rock. “I’m super excited. We’re going to start in by the end of this year and hopefully have it done for Christmas next year,” he said.

He compared it to his recently-unearthed-and-completed 1983 Tom Petty documentary Heartbreakers Beach Party, saying “It’s Joni’s life, not through anybody else’s prism. It’s through her prism. It’s the characters who impacted her life that you know and a lot that you don’t know. And the music is so cinematic.”

Crowe elaborated that he and his team has been conducting thorough research. “I found a lot of the people from her early life,...

In the early 2000s, there was an ambitious plan to bring Batman and Superman together on the big screen in a fresh way. Warner Bros. began developing a film titled Batman vs. Superman, which would have showcased the two superheroes clashing long before the 2016 release of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

This project, often referred to as Asylum, generated significant excitement due to its darker and more intense storyline.

Warner Bros. aimed to create something innovative and thrilling, looking to pit two of their most iconic characters against each other.

This wasn’t just a fleeting idea; the project had substantial momentum. Andrew Kevin Walker, known for Se7en, penned the script, and Wolfgang Petersen was set to direct. There were even discussions about casting major stars for these legendary roles.

The plot was intended to be much darker than anything we had seen from either superhero before. It aimed for intensity,...

Back in the early 2000s, there was a plan to bring Batman and Superman together on the big screen in a way we hadn’t seen before. Warner Bros. had started working on a movie called Batman vs. Superman, which would’ve shown the two superheroes clashing long before the 2016 Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice that we know today.

This project, often referred to as Asylum, generated a lot of excitement and buzz around its darker and more intense storyline.

At the time, Warner Bros. wanted to create something new and exciting. They were looking to take both Batman and Superman, two of their biggest comic book characters, and pit them against each other in a thrilling story.

It wasn’t just a random thought; this project had real momentum behind it. A script was written by Andrew Kevin Walker (famous for Se7en), and Wolfgang Petersen was set to direct.

The best Mark Margolis movies and TV shows include a strong mix of truly classic films and groundbreaking television shows that legitimize his place in Hollywood history. Margolis was trained by the best, learning under Stella Adler at the Actors Studio and then trained by Lee Strasberg, the teacher who mastered method acting. This led to Margolis getting his start in stage plays before finally moving on to movies in 1976. He then caught the eye of Brian De Palma, and the rest is history.

Margolis enjoyed an early breakout role in the De Palma classic masterpiece Scarface. That earned him enough attention to pick up supporting roles in several movies. His career took an interesting direction in 1998 when Darren Aronofsky cast him in his debut film, Pi. That led to Aronofsky casting Margolis in almost every movie he made after that until Noah in 2014. Margolis remains most known to younger...

As James Gunn focuses on establishing his Dcu from the ground up, Matt Reeves is concurrently developing his own cinematic universe centered around Batman. Titled The Batman Epic Crime Saga, this universe takes a more grounded approach to the Caped Crusader and his world.

The saga began with the release of The Batman: Part I, featuring Robert Pattinson in the lead role, and a sequel is already in development, slated for a 2026 release.

In addition to the films, several spinoff shows were planned, including The Penguin, which is currently airing and has become a massive hit, particularly with its fourth episode titled “Cent’Anni.”

This episode delves into Sofia Falcone’s (Cristin Milioti) backstory. Throughout the series, she was portrayed as being held in Arkham Asylum for being The Hangman, a psychopathic serial killer. However, “Cent’Anni” reveals that she was framed by her own family when she began to uncover that...

Quick Links The Penguin's Latest Episode Dives Deep Into Arkham Asylum What the Arkham Asylum Spin-Off Can Take From The Penguin

Matt Reeves' The Batman universe has been a surprise hit among fans. The Batman was regarded as one of the greatest movies in the character's history by a large portion of the fan base (rivaling Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight) when it released in 2022, despite early criticism of Robert Pattinson's casting as Bruce Wayne. The Penguin, the first of three initially announced spin-off shows, has also been a major hit. Releasing weekly on HBO and Max, The Penguin has been dubbed as an unofficial successor to The Sopranos and is perhaps one of the best superhero TV shows ever made.

Unfortunately, The Penguin was the only survivor of the development phase for Reeves' planned The Batman spin-offs. A Gotham City Police Department series was announced alongside...

American Horror Story is returning with its 13th season, and though its theme hasnt been revealed, its the perfect chance to pay off a huge tease from Ryan Murphy. The horror genre has seen some big and successful TV projects in recent years, and among them is American Horror Story. Created by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk, each season of American Horror Story covers a different story with a central horror theme, going from haunted houses to asylums to circuses and more. Although recent seasons havent been as successful as previous ones, American Horror Story continues to be quite popular.

The last three seasons of American Horror Story have done some things differently that divided critics and viewers. American Horror Story: Double Feature was divided into two parts (Red Tide and Death Valley), NYC took the audience to 1980s New York City during the rapid spread of AIDS, and Delicate...

There’s a popular idiom often attributed to Picasso about how good artists copy and great artists steal. Naturally, this isn’t referring to plagiarism, but rather the idea that it’s better for an artist to reproduce something directly from the source instead of simply regurgitating it as-is. The way I see it, this sentiment also applies to creative rip-offs, as I’ll take an unlicensed cash-grab over endless sequels any day of the week.

After all, this is how we got beloved franchises like Friday the 13th (the original film was an attempt at capitalizing on the success of Halloween) and even Star Wars (A New Hope was meant to be a cheap Flash Gordon knock-off). And in honor of all the rip-offs that continue to feed the ouroboros that is popular culture, we’ve decided to come up with a list celebrating six spooky Mockbusters that are actually worth your time.

American Horror Story season 13 looks set to bring back some huge names, but Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters' return should only happen if it's the show's final season. The long-running series started in 2011 and has featured plenty of popular actors over the years. With each season focusing on a fresh, unique story, new additions have joined the cast frequently, while some regulars have come back year after year. While some American Horror Story seasons connect, others are completely independent, allowing actors to play a variety of different roles and characters throughout their time with the franchise.

Out of everyone who has appeared on the show, Evan Peters and Sarah Paulson have been two of American Horror Story's most frequently returning actors. They have both played heroes and villains within the chaotic horror universe and, as a result, are two of the most popular actors among the audience. Unfortunately, neither...

Kathie Lee Gifford says she has been through a lot in her life. She admits that she would be in an “insane asylum” if it weren’t for one thing. She also said that all the “crappy stuff” she has been through has made he stronger in the end.

Kathie Lee Gifford Says “Jesus” Makes Her Sane

Kathie Lee Gifford said that she would not have made it this far in life if it wasn’t for Jesus. However, she also took it one step further and said it is a personal relationship with Jesus and that she actually dislikes religion.

Sarah Paulson has been a mainstay on Ryan Murphy’s American Horror Story anthology series since her recurring role in the first season of the FX show in 2011, retroactively dubbed Murder House.

While promoting her new Hulu thriller Hold Your Breath, Good Morning America’s Robin Roberts asked if she would return to the horror franchise again.

“I think there is a big chance that I will return to American Horror Story,” Paulson said. “I’ve got everything crossed. I would like to do it more than anything. It’s my home. It’s where I started.”

She continued, “I got to play, you know, seven different characters in seven years, which as an actor is the most exciting, thrilling thing, and also allows an audience to be ready for anything you’re going to do because they’re not attached to one thing that you do, specifically. That has...

Five years ago, Warner Bros. and Todd Phillips’ “Joker” pulled off a series of firsts, including the first comic book film to win the Golden Lion and the Best Actor Oscar, as well as the first R-rated film to gross $1 billion at the global box office.

“Joker: Folie à Deux” will not reach that $1 billion mark, but there’s still a chance that the follow-up can be a hit film for Warner — if fans of the original embrace the musical numbers that take place inside Arthur Fleck’s fractured mind. Warner Bros. is projecting an opening weekend in the $50 million range, which would put it in the neighborhood of the $55 million opening earned by last year’s big DC flop “The Flash.”

Like the first film, reviews for “Folie à Deux” are mixed, currently standing at 56% on Rotten Tomatoes. Back in 2019, those reviews meant little to audiences, who were floored...

DC Fans Believe Lady Gaga's Harley Quinn Deserves Her Own Solo Flick - Main Image

Prior to the release of Joker: Folie à Deux, DC fans are already hoping Lady Gaga's version of Harley Quinn gets another spin for a potential solo flick. Here's what fans are making noise about on the Joker sequel:

DC Fans Want Lady Gaga's Harley Quinn To Reprise Role in Own Solo Film

While Joker: Folie à Deux brings the spotlight back to Joaquin Phoenix's troubled Arthur Fleck in Arkham Asylum, DC fans turn their heads to Lady Gaga's praiseworthy performance as a new live-action iteration of Harley "Lee" Quinn.

The Cupid of Chaos was always depicted as a high-pitched lovesick fool for the Clown Prince of Crime in Gotham, but Joker 2 transformed Gaga's character to a completely different take on how she handles Arthur.

DC Studios is creating a new shared world meant to rival the MCU, but it sounds like Warner Bros. Discovery boss David Zaslav's patience may already be wearing thin. 

Last year's strikes saw James Gunn and Peter Safran forced to down tools on several upcoming Dcu movies and TV shows. While Creature Commandos is nearly here and Superman is in post-production for a summer 2025 release, there's still a long way to go until DC Studios can find even a measure of Marvel Studios' success. 

Batman remains DC's biggest draw - even a show without him, The Penguin, is a ratings hit - but with The Batman - Part II not heading our way until 2026, what of DC Studios' The Brave and the Bold?

According to Hollywood insider Jeff Sneider, Zaslav wants the Dcu's Batman on our screens sooner rather than later to better compete with Marvel Studios. One idea...

Ryan Murphys new horror series Grotesquerie has arrived on FX and Hulu, and the shows Rotten Tomatoes scores reveal how it stacks up against American Horror Story. First announced in February this year, Murphy co-created the series with Jon Robin Baitz and Joe Baken, after his five-year exclusive development deal with Netflix ended in 2023. Starring Niecy Nash-Betts as a small-town detective who turns to a Catholic nun (Micaela Diamond) to help solve a series of disturbing crimes, Grotesquerie recently debuted its first two episodes on September 25.

With the initial scores for Grotesquerie beginning to roll in on review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes, audiences can now see how Murphys new horror show compares with American Horror Story. Currently boasting a 75% critical score and 79% audience score, Grotesquerie appears to fall just short of some of AHS more acclaimed seasons, such as 1984 and Coven, but is still on par with the majority of...

Branding is central to Ryan Murphy’s TV empire, but the brand names themselves can often feel a little fungible.

Take Murphy’s output in this current two-week period: FX’s American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez absolutely could have been renamed Hernandez: Monster — The Aaron Hernandez Story. Netflix’s Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story probably could have been Feud: The Menendez Family. I haven’t seen ABC’s Doctor Odyssey, but all promotion indicates that it’s 9-1-1: Love Boat.

On that shifting scale, FX’s Grotesquerie could easily have had the American Horror Story name appended in front of it. With hints of Cult, Coven and Asylum immediately evident, it looks to take almost an everything bagel approach to the signatures of that series.

After only two episodes (none were made available for critics ahead of the premiere), it’s too early to tell...

Samuel L. Jackson recalls how his iconic Snakes on a Plane line almost wasn't included in the movie. Released in 2006, Snakes on a Plane is directed by David R. Ellis, with Jackson starring as an FBI agent who finds himself facing off against dozens of venomous snakes while flying a valuable witness from Hawaii to Los Angeles. The film, which also stars Julianna Margulies, Rachel Blanchard, and Kenan Thompson, earned lukewarm reviews, and is now fondly remembered for Jackson's line: "I have had it with these motherf---ing snakes on this motherf---ing plane."

In a recent interview with GQ, Jackson reflects on his experience making Snakes on a Plane, revealing that the film initially wasn't targeting an R-rating. As a result, despite Jackson's protests, his iconic line wasn't even filmed during principal photography, with the moment only coming to be after test screenings and a pivot in direction for the movie.

During Smallville's ten-season run, the show introduced a lot of new and up-and-coming talent into the entertainment stratosphere. Jensen Ackles appeared on Smallville before he went on to star in his own show, The CW's Supernatural, for a lengthy and successful run. Shawn Ashmore, who portrayed Iceman in the X-Men film franchise, played a character who temporarily steals Clark Kent's powers on two separate occasions. His twin brother, Aaron Ashmore, would later appear in Smallville as Daily Planet photographer Jimmy Olsen. Before she would star as Lois Lane in Man of Steel, Amy Adams played a "Meteor Freak" with an insatiable appetite in the episode "Craving" in 2001.

"Batman & Robin" was so panned for its campiness that Warner Bros. had no choice but to pivot to a dark and gritty reboot, resulting in Christopher Nolan's acclaimed "Dark Knight" trilogy. This is filmmaking mythology almost as well-known as Batman's own origin of alleyway orphaning. Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige even calls "Batman & Robin" one of the most important superhero movies, for it taught studios that fans wouldn't settle for schlock. In hindsight, it's almost unbelievable that "Batman & Robin" and "Batman Begins" premiered only eight years apart; the Dark Knight's fall didn't last long!

There were abandoned plans for director Joel Schumacher to make a third Batman film, though. "Batman Unchained," to be penned by Mark Protosevich (rather than previous screenwriter Akiva Goldsman) was supposedly going to be "darker." The villains would've been Jonathan Crane/The Scarecrow and Harley Quinn, which makes sense. At the time,...

While Ryan Murphys new show Grotesquerie may not recapture American Horror Storys cult success, the series is trying something that the anthology show never quite pulled off. According to TheHollywoodReporter, nearly a fifth of scripted TV shows from 2019-2020 were cop shows. The police procedural has been one of the most popular formats in American television history since Dragnet began back in 1951, so it is no surprise that Ryan Murphys new series Grotesquerie leans into the format. What is surprising is how long it took for the legendary TV producer to take advantage of this multi-decade trend.

Long before Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey, The Asylum was updating and repurposing myths and fairy tales into films like The 7 Adventures of Sinbad, 3 Musketeers, Avengers Grimm and the absolutely bizarre King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Here, they’ve taken the legend of Snow White and thrown in a name check of Kurosawa’s classic Seven Samurai to give us Snow White and the Seven Samurai.

Anya Voight wants her father to consider a change of careers. Considering he’s one of the biggest cocaine kingpins in the country, that’s not an easy thing to do. But she’s adamant, not only is it dangerous, but because of what he does, people keep calling her Snow White.

From the writer of Shark Side of the Moon comes The Asylum’s Shark Warning, which is first swimming to limited theaters on July 26 before arriving on VOD outlets on July 30.

In Shark Warning, “After 20 years, a man returns to the town where his brother was killed by a shark. But when it resurfaces and kills again, the man decides to hunt down the predator.”

Of course, the storyline is set into motion when a bunch of pesky humans commit the cardinal sin of shark attack movies, putting their own greed ahead of the safety of the town’s residents. Yup, it’s another low-budget Jaws. You already know what you’re getting from this one.
