“Do you want to play a game?” With that seemingly innocuous proposition, “Saw” started a phenomenon, with many a body part severed, several gallons of blood spilled, and over $950 million grossed worldwide. Jigsaw, the diabolical villain who subjects his victims to torturous moral “tests” and games, returns October 27 for his self-titled film, after a seven-year hiatus from the screen. After a reverse bear trap, a Venus flytrap, a weird see-saw and other contraptions, we’re excited to see what else the minds behind “Jigsaw” have up their sleeves. In the mean time, we ranked the films that started...

Among many other things, part of what made Netflix’s Stranger Things a super smash-hit when it arrived last summer on the streaming service was how much it leaned into its numerous horror movie influences.
At the crux of this, of course, was the terrifying creature nicknamed the “Demogorgon” by Mike, Eleven and their friends, which hails from the mysterious realm called the Upside Down. An unstoppable monster with a face like a Venus flytrap, it won’t be easy to top in the second season. Still, the showrunners think they might have actually managed it.
Stranger Things producer Shawn Levy spoke to YouTuber GoldDerby about the new season recently and promised that things will get much darker and more dangerous when the hit series returns.
“Will Byers is very much at the center of several intersecting challenges, threats in season two and I think overall the forces of evil...

She's introduced hanging from the top bars in her cell like some demented Cirque de Soleil acrobat, to the retro strains of Aussie singer Grace's cover of Lesley Gore's 1963 feminist declaration "You Don't Own Me." She is pale, giggly, calculating and off her proverbial rocker. She's a woman at the mercy of sadistic men, many of them, in fact — some of whom "love" her enough to jump in after her when she dives into a vat of acid (which they've coerced her into doing) and others who like watching...

Stranger Things is the perfect summer binge watch - fun, suspenseful and beautifully shot, with heroes and heroines that make you say, "she looks like this person I know" - and then they're up against a super creepy monster. It's the kind of show that makes you feel sad when it's over (there are already rumblings about a second season). Kate Hudson called it "all kinds of awesome." Plus the music is cool. From the opening sequence, Stranger Things evokes the beloved '80s filmmaking of Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Wes Craven, John Carpenter, Ridley Scott, John Hughes and others.

Inspired by the realities and legends surrounding the Winchester Mystery House, the 2002 mini-series Rose Red, written for the screen by Stephen King, centers around a desperate psychology professor and her team of psychics exploring the haunted Rose Red mansion. On the outside, Rose Red is a looming beast of a house that literally builds itself as it looks out over metropolitan Seattle; it’s a classic haunted mansion with gates and walls covered in dead vines and yards filled with mossy statues and clouds of fog. But within, it’s a fluctuating puzzle of dark, beautiful hallways and rooms where ghosts lead visitors to their doom.
Part of Rose Red’s charm comes from its characters. Matt Ross (American Psycho) is stunning as Emery, an anti-social, “momma’s boy” with the ability to see the dead, and Julian Sands is effortlessly charming as the mindreading Nick Hardaway. Nancy Travis has...
