In a world of endless social media doomscrolling, one advice I try to give friends and family is to try doing daily puzzles. The success of puzzles like the New York Times’ Wordle and Connections has helped greatly here. But I’m also happy to tell you that there are some very fun and original alternatives out there.

The ones I’m talking about are the ones from The Atlantic. The Atlantic has five games that reset daily, including games like Crossword, Fluxis, and Stacks. You can check out the games here. Usually, these games start out easy on Monday and become harder as the week progresses.

If you need help with any of them, we’ve got your back with daily solutions. So today, we’re going to take a look at the solutions for all the Atlantic Games for July 17, 2025.

Horror fans, prepare for a fright-filled evening as the iconic Friday the 13th returns to the big screen on the most sinister day of the year, Friday the 13th. Hosted by former Horror Channel presenter and all round horror scholar Emily Booth, this event promises to launch a new monthly horror film club with a scream. And all you need to do to enjoy it, is make your way down to the Electric Palace Cinema, in Hastings. Along with the classic slasher flick, audiences will be treated to Booth’s very own short horror film, Selkie, filmed on Rock-a-Nore beach, adding a chilling local twist to the event.

Friday the 13th is more than just a film; it’s a hallmark of the horror genre. Directed by Sean S. Cunningham and featuring a cast that includes a young Kevin Bacon, the 1980 cult classic follows a group of teenage camp counsellors who,...

British royal family news shows that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry‘s pal Macho Nacho Figueras is feeling the heat after peddling American Riviera Orchard products just as Princess Catherine returned to the forefront.

Pro polo player Nachos is being dragged as the guy who trolled a cancer patient, and let’s be honest, this guy’s exquisite cheekbones might be his best quality. That and his unflinching loyalty to the disgraced Montecito traitors who appear to have already Markled him after using him. Welcome to Meghan’s doghouse Mr. Figuera.

Royal Family News – Nachos Is A Loyal Markle Friend

On Friday Kate Middleton announced she would be at Saturday’s Trooping the Colour, her first appearance since announcing in February that she is battling cancer. Right on cue, Meghan thrust herself, and her tortilla chip friend, right into Kate’s spotlight.

Within minutes Nachos posted a picture of Markle...

Clay McLeod Chapman And Andrea Mutti Conjure The New Horror Series “SÉANCE In The Asylum”: "We’re receiving a message from the beyond! Dark Horse Comics presents Séance in the Asylum, a new historical horror series from renowned writer Clay McLeod Chapman and artist Andrea Mutti that will have you questioning what’s real and what’s not. Chapman will write the series and Mutti will illustrate, with Trevor Henderson, Francesco Francavilla, Lukas Ketner, and Jenna Cha rounding out the circle and providing variant cover art on issues #1-4.

“Years back, I uncovered an esoteric text -- The Homeopathic Principle Applied to Insanity: A Proposal to Treat Lunacy by Spiritualism by Dr. James John Garth Wilkinson -- written all the way back in 1857, and I knew within my bones, my blood, that this was destined to be a story,” said Chapman. “As a lifelong acolyte of the Fox Sisters,...

[Note: With the film set for its digital debut tomorrow, here’s a reposting of our review of Midnight Peepshow from its festival run back in 2022]

British horror cinema has a long-standing tradition of producing some of the best anthologies of all time, in particular in the era of Hammer, Tigon et al. So when a new anthology comes along it can be hard to separate it from history and tradition. But with Midnight Peepshow, filmmakers Andy Edwards, Airell Anthony Hayles, Ludovica Musumeci and Jake West actually tap into British cinematic history, setting their film in the formerly sleazy streets of London’s Soho – a place where, once upon a time, sex and cinema were often intertwined.

The film opens with the traditional wraparound,...

Cliff Twemlow is, for me, something of an enigma, an urban legend, even a myth if you like. I remember reading about this self-made film star in the pages of Darkside Magazine – his films seemingly lost to the VHS era in much the same way as Lindsay Shonteff’s oeuvre. Speaking of VHS, Twemlow is probably best known for G.B.H., a British gangster movie that became notorious after it featured on the video nasties list thanks to the garish artwork – Cliff’s character covered in blood brandishing a hammer!

What I didn’t know about Twemlow is that he wrote music, and performed not only as part of a band (under the name Peter Reno) but also penned theme songs under the same name for the De Wolfe label – over 2000 pieces of music in fact, themes that went on to be featured on TV shows of the era! Twemlow was also a novelist,...

You’d think Christmas horror films up until now had covered it all. Where can you go after all the killer Santas, snowmen and elves? Well, not too long ago, Krampus was the new thing for genre filmmakers to make a holiday film about and there’s been a few decent movies on that subject – none better than the 2015 film. Last year we got a couple of great new Christmas-themed horror movies with Violent Night seeing David Harbour as Santa saving Christmas and a family and the even more original but brilliantly violent Christmas Bloody Christmas, which featured a killer robotic Santa on the loose. 2023 doesn’t seem to be the year where Christmas horror runs out of ideas because now we are getting Werewolf Santa.

Stars: Hannah Arteton, Rosie Day, Tom Conti, Jenny Seagrove, Elliot James Langridge, Connor Byrne, Belinda Stewart-Wilson | Written by Dan Schaffer | Directed by Paul Hyett

Paul Hyett’s debut movie The Seasoning House blew me away. With its hard-hitting story and an incredible performance from Rosie Day, It was one of my favourite films of 2013. He followed it up with something completely different, the highly entertaining werewolf movie set on a train Howl, so I was now very much looking forward to checking out Peripheral.

Peripheral is once again, completely different from the directors other movies. This time more sci-fi but still entering into body horror territory. We follow Bobbi Johnson whose debut novel has become a huge hit but also sparked riots across England. Now struggling with her second novel, a stalker and trying to stay off drugs, her publishing company give her a new computer and editing software that...

She may be better known for her recent stint on Love Island and being the offspring of cockney wide-boy Danny Dyer, but Dani is also an actress and her next feature project comes in the form of psychological thriller Heckle.

Heckle tells the tale of a stand-up comedian’s encounter with an obsessed audience member that takes a spine-chilling turn.

Directed by Emmy-nominated Martyn Pick, the cast also includes music icon Toyah Wilcox, Hellraiser‘s Nicholas Vince, Facebook sensation Stuggy and Clark Gable III (grandson of the Gone With the Wind star).

Before going into the Love Island villa, Dyer said:

“I had such fun filming Heckle! It was an amazing project to be a part of, and I can’t wait for everyone to see it.”

There's a British horror-comedy from 2009 called "Doghouse," written by Dan Schaffer and directed by Jake West. In it, a group of guys trying to help a friend deal with his divorce all go to a small village where a virus has turned every single woman into a man-eating monster. Literally. The movie's not quite the misogynistic nightmare that sounds like, but it also isn't quite smart enough to be the movie that it wanted to be, a cutting piece about the culture war between the genders. Well, it looks like Anne Hathaway's going to get a shot at trying to make the good version of the film now thanks to the news that "The Shower" is going to be made. One of the scripts from last year's Black List, written by Jac Schaeffer, "The Shower" is about a group of women who get together for a baby shower, only...

"It isn't nice for him to see, he will never be happy with me doing things like that."

Speaking about her strict parents, Dani said: "If I tell my parents the truth they are fine but if I take the liberty in the house, I get grounded and get my phone taken away."

She added: "I wasn't allowed a phone until I was 16. And I wasn't allowed home later than 11pm. So I'd say I'm staying at my friend's house,...

EastEnders star Sam Strike has joined the cast of Bonded By Blood 2.

The 20-year-old will star in the Greg Hall-directed crime sequel following his recent departure from the BBC soap.

The film - based on Bernard O'Mahoney's book Essex Boys: The New Generation - focuses on the Essex crime scene after the murders of Pat Tate, Tony Tucker and Craig Rolfe in 1995.

Boasting a host of international talent including Ian Somerhalder (The Vampire Diaries, Lost), Brian Cox (The Bourne Ultimatum, Rise of the Planet of the Apes), Alexis Knapp (Pitch Perfect, Project X) and Luke Hemsworth (The Reckoning, Infini), The Anomaly is directed by Noel Clarke who also takes on the lead role of traumatised ex-soldier Ryan – and thanks to the folks at Universal Pictures (UK) we have three copies of the film to giveaway on Blu-ray!

When Ryan wakes up in the back of a van, alongside a kidnapped boy and helps him escape, he comes to an appalling realisation…. But there’s no time to act – after nine minutes and forty seven seconds of consciousness it all goes black. What does this have to do with Ryan’s past as a patient at the experimental Medical Unit? Ryan has a lot of questions, and very little time to find any answers.

Danny Dyer supported daughter Dani Dyer at her movie premiere for We Still Kill The Old Way in London last night (September 28).

The 17-year-old aspiring actress, who has previously appeared with her father in movies such as 2009's Doghouse and the critically panned Run For Your Life, has a role in Sacha Bennett's British gangster movie.

The crime drama centres on a group of ageing East End gangsters who embark on a killing spree after one member is murdered by a feral street gang.

The pair were joined by Dyer's long-term partner and Dani's mother Joanne Mas. Dani is the couple's eldest daughter.

Other guests at the screening included former EastEnders actor Craig Fairbrass, former CBB star Casey Batchelor and ex-Emmerdale actress Adele Silva, who also stars in the film.

Reaper Comics has launched a new six-issue comic in the UK entitled Video Nasty, and we have a look at it for you here. It's by Mario Covone, hailed as "an exciting new voice in comics with a cool new spin on a provocative subject" by director Jake West (Doghouse).

The comic explores the real world politics behind government censorship and media manipulation in 1980's Britain while still maintaining the core of being a fictional horror story.

Covone, writer of the award-nominated web strip Circles, makes his published debut with Video Nasty. Mario is the former managing director of Apocalypse Comics and was an integral part of some innovative work with conventions and bringing more comic book variant covers to the UK than any comic shop before or since.

But her arrival coincides with the deaths of other residents, residents who are dying at an alarming rate. Continuing her dissociative treatment at “home” Suki, undergoes an experimental procedure to cure her illness involving ‘The Siamese Burn’ machine which is designed to eliminate her unwanted identities one by one. But each time she uses the machine she black out and the machine changes, doing something new, something that turns her world inside out.

A miniseries version of Rosemary’s Baby is moving forward at NBC and we have an update on who makes up the main cast. Rosemary’s Baby has already garnered a lead in Zoe Saldana and two co-stars in Patrick J. Adams and Jason Isaacs, and two more actors have joined the adaptation of Ira Levin’s 1967 novel.

According to Deadline, French actress Carole Bouquet (For Your Eyes Only) will play Margaux Castevet, a ”sophisticated” socialite and wife of Jason Isaacs’ character, who takes a liking to Rosemary. English actress Christina Cole (Doghouse, Casino Royale) will take on the role of Rosemary’s lively friend, Julie.

“…Rosemary, the iconic young wife and would-be mother who, with her husband, moves into a Paris apartment that has a darkly storied past. After finally getting pregnant, she becomes increasingly suspicious that both her husband and their mysterious neighbors have ulterior motives about the future of her child.

The line-up in full:

Thurs 27 Feb – Gft Screen 2 21:00 In Conversation With Ti West (Special event)

Nobody does nostalgia-brushed spookiness and minimalist horror like independent director Ti West, King of the slow-burn shocker. FrightFest has been there from the very start – our video label released his 2005 debut feature The Roost – and we’ve watched with pride as the Delaware-born quirky talent has grown in global genre stature through The House Of The Devil, The Innkeepers, V/H/S and now his game-changing Eli Roth produced The Sacrament.

The last time we mentioned The Reverend was around this exact time last year. Might this have something to do with the approach of Christmas? Of course not, but we're in the spirit and see good cheer everywhere! So, wait.... back to the movie...

Level 33 has announced Neil Jones’ The Reverend for home video release on February 11, 2014.

The flick stars Rutger Hauer (Hobo With a Shotgun, The Hitcher), Stuart Brennan (Risen), Tamer Hassan (Clash of the Titans), Doug Bradley (Hellraiser), Emily Booth (Doghouse, Evil Aliens), and Giovanni Lombardo Radice (Cannibal Ferox, The Omen).

Synopsis

After delivering his first sermon, a new Reverend is visited by a beautiful young woman who suddenly attacks him, biting his throat. He survives the attack but awakes with an unknown, uncontrollable thirst. As the Reverend becomes more familiar with his congregation and the wider community, he realizes that it is suffering under a wave of drugs,...

The UK is well known for its censorship and ban of the so-called Video Nasties. Good thing for us Severin and Nucleus Films are putting out a comprehensive guide of them!

From the Press Release

Severin Films has announced a partnership with UK-based cult movie label Nucleus Films to release select titles of their popular line of horror and exploitation DVDs. The union will commence with the highly acclaimed Video Nasties - The Definitive Guide, which boasts three discs of banned film newly remastered trailers, introductions by critics and experts, Jake West's award-winning documentary Moral Panic, Censorship & Videotape, and much more.

The video nasty era in the UK in the early 80s is now notorious amongst horror fans for branding movies like The Evil Dead, Driller Killer, Cannibal Holocaust, and Zombie Flesh Eaters as likely to deprave and corrupt those who view them in British homes. Says David Gregory of Severin Films,...

Danny Dyer has built up quite a reputation for himself amongst genre fans in the last several years with highly praised roles in films like Doghouse and Severance. Up next he gets his Charles Bronson on in Vendetta.

The film hits DVD and Blu-ray over in the UK on December 23rd courtesy of Anchor Bay. The trailer and plot crunch can be found below!

Written and directed by Stephen Reynolds, Vendetta also stars Vincent Regan, Bruce Payne, Roxanne McKee, Nick Nevern, Emma Samms and Ricci Harnett.

Synopsis

A former Special Forces interrogator goes Awol upon his return from Afghanistan, on a personal mission to avenge the murder of his parents. With the police closing in and his old unit on his trail, he has to evade capture long enough to complete his gruesome crusade.

Actor/writer/producer Noel Clarke discusses his new thriller Storage 24, currently available on VOD before hitting theaters January 11

Noel Clarke is getting to the point where he may have literally done it all in movies and television. Fans of the BBC series Doctor Who will know him for his arc as Mickey Smith. He has also written, directed, produced, and starred in his own indie features such as Kidulthood, Adulthood, and Doghouse. His profile will likely be even bigger with his mysterious role in J.J. Abrams' Star Trek Into Darkness later this summer. The talented multi-hyphenate can next be seen in the thriller Storage 24, which, of course, he also co-wrote and produced.

The actor stars as Charlie, a broken man who heads to a London storage facility with his friend Mark (Colin O'Donoghue), after his girlfriend Shelley (Antonia Campbell-Hughes) leaves him. Things get awkward when Shelley and...

We dont see too many successful indie creature features these days but when one does scuttle across our path we jump to snatch that bad boy up. Storage 24 definitely looks like a flick to pursue. Fully loaded with a large gangly creature that looks as though it may be related to the alien that tore through R.J. MacReadys Antarctic base camp in The Thing stuck in cramped confines perfectly suited for a game of fatal hide and seek Storage 24 looks wicked good. Horror fans are about overdue for a new monster movie worth investing in. Storage 24 may be our answer.

In yesterday’s news, we told you to expect something from The ABCs of Death this evening and we now have the first trailer for you to watch. The ABCs of Death is an anthology horror film with 26 short chapters. Each chapter is directed by a different filmmaker, including Ti West, Xavier Gens, Adam Wingard, and many more:

“Twenty-six directors. Twenty-six ways to die. The ABC’s Of Death is perhaps the most ambitious anthology film ever conceived with productions spanning fifteen countries and featuring segments directed by over two dozen of the world’s leading talents in contemporary genre film. Inspired by children’s educational books, the motion picture is comprised of twenty-six individual chapters, each helmed by a different director assigned a letter of the alphabet. The directors were then given free reign in choosing a word to create a story involving death.”
