A Blizzard Employee Used God-Mode Powers to Help Friends Finish a World of Warcraft Dungeon. Blizzard Fired Him

The Mythic+ 23 key cleared with just 14 seconds left on the timer, close enough to look like a heroic finish — until players started reading the combat logs. One ability, called Area Death, instantly killed an enemy sitting at nearly full health. Another, Death Touch, had been used on a boss earlier in the…
Matt Damon and Ben Affleck Both Auditioned for 1996’s ‘Primal Fear.’ They Lost to Edward Norton, Whose Performance Earned Him an Oscar Nomination for His Very First Film Role

In 1996, a courtroom thriller called Primal Fear turned an unknown actor into an overnight Oscar contender — and sent two future stars back to their apartment to write the screenplay that would make them famous. The story of who lost the role of Aaron Stampler is almost as remarkable as who won it. Edward…

The Scary True Story That Inspired ‘The Whisper Man’ on Netflix

The creepiest line in Netflix’s ‘The Whisper Man’ came from writer Alex North’s own living room. He was in the kitchen when he heard his young son playing alone, poked his head in to ask what he was up to, and got the answer that changed his book: “I’m just playing with the boy in…

We Need to Talk About the ‘Practical Magic’ House

Few movie homes have captured the public imagination quite like the Owens house from Practical Magic (1998). With its wraparound porch, cliffside views, and centuries-of-witchcraft aesthetic, it’s the kind of house that makes you want to grow your own herb garden and start brewing midnight margaritas. But the story behind how it was built —…
The Creepiest Part of Death of the Pastor’s Wife on Netflix Was Left Out of the Docuseries

Netflix’s Death of the Pastor’s Wife spent three episodes on John-Paul Miller’s marriage to Mica and they don’t even mention some of the worst aspects of the case. It never mentioned that a lawsuit accuses John-Paul of abusing a 15-year-old girl when he was a 19-year-old youth church leader. A February 2025 lawsuit accuses John-Paul…

Underwhelmed by the First Take of Henry Winkler’s Death Scene in Scream, Wes Craven Asked, “Do You Think It Might Be More Excruciating?”

Henry Winkler will readily admit he is not a horror fan. Despite playing Principal Arthur Himbry in Wes Craven’s 1996 slasher classic ‘Scream,’ the actor says he’s never actually seen the finished film — he watched the premiere through his fingers. Winkler landed the small but memorable role through his friendship with Craven, who invited…
Margaret Qualley and Callum Turner Are Playing the Doomed Couple in a Remake of One of the Most Disturbing Horror Films Ever Made

The movie being remade is “Possession,” Andrzej Żuławski’s 1981 cult horror film, a Cold War nightmare about a marriage collapsing into something monstrous. It’s remembered above all for Isabelle Adjani’s Cannes-winning performance and a subway-tunnel breakdown routinely cited as one of the most extreme scenes in horror. Now Parker Finn, the mind behind “Smile,” is…

How a Parody of ‘Obsession’ Became the Most Hated Golf Ad of the Year

Horror movies can be violent. Golf ads usually aren’t. That is the short version of why a Callaway campaign blew up this week. The ad was for a co-branded driver with Good Good and Callaway. It shows a man rush towards a woman as she reaches for his golf clubs. He shoves her to the…
Maisie Williams Paid Homage to Sandra Bullock at the ‘Practical Magic 2’ London Premiere

Maisie Williams didn’t just play Sandra Bullock’s on-screen daughter — she dressed like one. On the London red carpet, she stepped out in a custom burgundy 2-piece gown designed to echo the T-shirt-and-skirt combo Bullock wore back in 1999. The dress, a bespoke burgundy set by British designer Ellie Misner, made its debut at the…
Chris Hansen Is Weighing Legal Action Against A24 Over Robert Pattinson Movie

Chris Hansen isn’t thrilled about A24’s upcoming film, Primetime, and he’s floating the idea of doing something about it. “You could have done the same movie without it,” he says of the studio’s decision to use his real name in the project, in which Robert Pattinson plays him. “The reason why they used it is…
The Frantic Third Act of ‘Clue’ (1985) Left Tim Curry So Breathless a Doctor Put Him on Blood Pressure Medication

Tim Curry spends the last stretch of Clue (1985) sprinting from room to room, reconstructing every murder in real time.

Tim Curry and Why ‘Beep Beep Richie’ Became the Scariest Line in ‘IT’

“Beep beep, Richie” starts as a Losers Club in-joke. In Stephen King’s novel, the phrase belongs to the Losers Club. Richie never stops talking. When the bits go too far, the others tap the brakes: “Beep beep, Richie.” It is a car horn, a Road Runner gag, and a friendship ritual. It means we know…
