After a Halloween reboot trilogy that delivered diminishing returns, and the total misfire that was The Exorcist: Believer, horror fans uttered a collective sigh of relief when director David Gordon Green announced he wouldn’t be making any further films in that proposed reboot trilogy. But inevitably, there’s still some curiosity wafting around about what Green’s second film—the title was to have been The Exorcist: Deceiver—would have explored, and he recently shared some details about that.

When horror fans think of Mike Flanagan, the immediate associations are Netflix and Stephen King. The creator of The Haunting of Hill House, Midnight Mass, The Fall of the House of Usher, and other much-loved Netflix limited series has since shifted his streaming home to Prime Video, but his allegiance to King remains solid. His next release, non-horror tale The Life of Chuck, is another adaptation of the author’s work for the big screen. And while he has more in the works in that department, he’s also adding another big horror category to his resume soon: The Exorcist.

The Acolyte won’t be making a return to our screens, but its world is preparing to live on in a plethora of new comics and books—starting off with this week’s release of Star Wars: Kelnacca, a new one-shot comic from Marvel about the life of the show’s mysterious wookiee Jedi.

"Baby why you gotta be so mean?" The zodiac is a fascinating system that many people turn to for insights into personality traits, behaviors, and compatibility. While every zodiac sign has its unique strengths and challenges, some signs are often perceived as being a bit more sharp-edged, vindictive or difficult (to say the least) to deal with. In this article, we'll delve into the four zodiac signs commonly considered the "meanest," exploring the characteristics that contribute to this perception and how these traits manifest in their interactions with others. To lighten the mood, we'll include some funny quotes about each sign's mean streak.

It's been over twenty-five years since actor/photographer Roddy McDowall died of lung cancer in 1998. McDowall, despite some career challenges, was one of that breed of rare former child actors who successfully transitioned into Hollywood adulthood. He was also, however, one of the industry's "openly closeted" actors, which came with its own sense of issues. This is his story.

Are people getting more high maintenance or is it just me? One thing that you can't deny is that CERTAIN people require a lot more TLC and attention, on the daily and especially during trying times. This applies to both platonic relationships and romantic. We usually call these people high maintenance because, well, they usually require (or demand!) all of your efforts and then some to be satisfied. These characteristics are closely linked to their zodiac sign temperament, so read on to see who is on the list!

5 Zodiac Signs that are the Highest Maintenance and Most Demanding

It's been eight years since beloved former child star and Oscar-winning actress Patty Duke died from sepsis (a ruptured intestine) at only 69 in 2016. She was also the recipient of two Golden Globes, three Emmys, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In the 1960s, she was the star of her own TV sitcom. In the mid-1980s, she served as President of the Screen Actors Guild. Through it all, she was married four times (including once to actor John Austin), had three sons, and never stopped acting. This is her tragic yet triumphant story.

Earlier this week, James Darren—the actor and singer best known for his roles in the Gidget films, and, to sci-fi fans, his turn as the kooky lounge singer hologram Vic Fontaine on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine—passed away at the age of 88. A late arrival to the Star Trek galaxy, Darren’s inescapably wry charm and smooth takes on classic jazz were an unlikely fit for a series that was staring down the barrel of some its grandest, most challenging storytelling. But his enduring popularity reflects that really, a character like Vic Fontaine was always just as important to Deep Space Nine‘s story of war and compromise in utopia.
