Eddie Redmayne details a moment during his time working on the Fantastic Beasts franchise that gave the actor 'complete stage fright.'
If you're looking to take stock of where horror is these days, it can't hurt to ask one of the greats. Tom Holland is, inarguably, one of the greats. The writer/director had been working in Hollywood for years when he pulled off an impossible task, writing a shockingly great script for a sequel to Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho, a film that didn't need a sequel if there ever was one, much less 20 years later. Holland made his directorial debut with the aggressively 80s vampire-next-door classic, Fright Night, following that up by introducing a …
I’ll never say no to something with Evil Dead vibes, especially when that something is directed by Sam Raimi himself, but Raimi’s new Quibi anthology series just isn’t fun enough, scary enough or creative enough to make a big impression. Not yet, at least. I had access to the first three installments of 50 States of Fright, the three parts that make up the Michigan portion of the show, a story titled “The Golden Arm.” In it, we meet high school sweethearts turned happy husband and wife, Dave (Travis Fimmel) and Heather (Rachel Brosnahan). Heather has always …
Quibi has released the first trailer for 50 States of Fright, the horror anthology series executive produced by Evil Dead mastermind and Spider-Man maestro Sam Raimi. The show, which will be available at Quibi's launch on April 6, features appearances from Jacob Batalon (Spider-Man: Far From Home), Rachel Brosnahan (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), Taissa Farmiga (The Nun), Christina Ricci (The Addams Family), Ming-Na Wen (The Mandalorian), Asa Butterfield (Sex Education), James Ransone (IT: Chapter Two), and more. The series will take a trip around the good ol' U S of A to tell a spine-chilling …
Curious about Quibi? Me too. Especially after that wild lineup reveal that included, not joking, a series where chefs have food blasted in their face and then try to recreate the recipe and a home renovation series called Murder House Flip that's exactly what it sounds like. But they've also got a hole heap of high-profile talent making their way to the mini-episodic format in scripting, including the Sam Raimi-produced anthology horror series 50 States of Fright and we've got an early look at the teaser and some new images. 50 States of Fright …
2011's Fright Night remake diverged from the original in many ways, but still found time to have original villain actor Chris Sarandon make a cameo.
Does Jenny Slate really have “stage fright,” like her new Netflix comedy special claims? Upon first glance, it seems like an overmodest, even preposterous claim. Slate owns the stage with unbridled enthusiasm, glee, and a special brand of confidence. She absolutely radiates with self-love, laughing at her own riffs while saying, “I’m my biggest fan, I guess.” And yet, at the center of this uniquely bold stage presence lies a palpable sense of anxiety and, yes, fright, even before Slate starts tackling these issues explicitly. How did such a gulf between performing bravado and inner turmoil exist simultaneously? …
Tales From the Crypt came on the air 30 years ago, but there are some things you probably didn't know about the show.
Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark will be bringing the horrifying stories of writer Alvin Schwartz (and the equally terrifying illustrations of Stephen Gammel) to life this summer. But it won't be an R-rated affair. Instead, kids who grew up on these tales in the 80s and 90s will be able to take their own families to go see the scary stories on the big screen. Producer Guillermo del Toro recently premiered some new footage from the film and answered a few questions from the audience, which Vulture happens to have an account of. It appears that …
After a Christmas season and a Halloween season, the marketing for Stranger Things chapter 3 has gone all-in on an 80s summer vibe, harkening back to a time when the weather was warm, the shorts were extremely high-waisted, and sweet dreams were, in fact, made of this. If the July 4 premiere date didn't tip you off, 13 firework-filled new character posters introduce the idea that Independence Day will play a large part in season 3's storyline, with a tagline promising "one summer can change everything." I know the throwback-bordering-on-copying vibe Stranger …
La Llorona, aka the Wailing Woman, is one of the most popular folklore figures of all time. A ghoulish, cautionary tale whispered into children's ears to keep them from straying at night or playing in dangerous waters, La Llorona has haunted kids' nightmares for generations. The story goes that La Llorona, a woman of renown beauty, learned of her husband's infidelity and in a fit of grief and rage took from him the thing he loves most -- his children -- drowning them in the river. Realizing what she's done, she prowled the riverbank for days after, looking for …
