People who love history – whether they’re dedicated enthusiasts or enjoy historical dramas – are much more interested in stories from the past than those set in the present. Generally, the further back in time a story goes, the more appealing it is. Historical dramas also have a strong track record with prequels, which are often critically praised. The downside is that there aren’t enough of them being made, but hopefully that will change soon.

While many sci-fi TV shows feature thrilling settings, they aren’t always places you’d want to actually live. Sci-fi has the power to create stunning and immersive worlds, and though we often get brief looks at these incredible places in popular franchises, they don’t usually linger for very long.

The DC Universe, starting with films like Superman, is now creating a connected world of movies and TV shows that’s just as appealing as Marvel’s established cinematic universe. Shows such as Peacemaker and Lanterns are proving DC is also capable of high-quality television. While DC now rivals Marvel in live-action entertainment, Marvel still leads when it comes to animated films released in theaters.

I’m always discovering amazing horror movies that seem to fly under the radar, and it really bothers me! There are seriously some incredible ones out there that deserve way more attention. I’m talking about everything – a truly phenomenal slasher film, some deeply unsettling psychological thrillers, even movies that blend horror with science fiction. And honestly, that’s just scratching the surface of all the hidden gems waiting to be discovered.

While some Minecraft seeds are best for building a base or playing on hardcore mode, exploration seeds don’t have to be difficult. Seeds designed for exploring usually have diverse landscapes, with lots of different biomes and interesting places to discover. Minecraft’s random world generation often creates environments full of hidden details, encouraging players to investigate and learn more.

Lindsie Landsman recently released a three-part podcast, shared in part with her Patreon supporters, between October 22nd and 24th. In the podcast, she claimed her father exploited her in the past and that he attempted to blackmail her with nude photos and a sex tape involving herself and Robby Hayes. Landsman also responded to claims made about her on the upcoming TV show The Chrisleys: Back to Reality, where family members accuse her of cooperating with Georgia’s Department of Revenue during the tax fraud case involving her parents, Todd and Julie.

During a stop on her Short n’ Sweet tour at Madison Square Garden in New York City, Sabrina Carpenter embraced the Halloween spirit by renaming the show Short n’ Sweet Spooky and performing in several Halloween costumes. She dressed as Barbie, Fred Flintstone, and Wonder Woman throughout the night. While her Barbie and Fred Flintstone looks didn’t generate much discussion, her Wonder Woman costume sparked debate online, with some questioning if a blonde Carpenter could accurately portray the character. 1976, a popular account on X (formerly Twitter), quickly defended Carpenter by posting a photo of her in costume and writing, “I’m seeing some debate about Wonder Woman being a brunette… Just a reminder that Wonder Woman lives within all of us, and sometimes, she has blonde hair like @SabrinaAnnLynn!”

While based on Stephen King’s 2013 novel – itself a sequel to his 1977 book – Mike Flanagan’s film version is arguably even better. With King’s blessing, Flanagan cleverly incorporated iconic scenes and ideas from Stanley Kubrick’s film adaptation of The Shining, blending them with King’s original story.

A few of these films have everything it takes to become beloved cult classics. They’re daring, tell unusual stories, and have a very specific style and focus. While they might be strange, offbeat, or not widely known, that’s exactly what will likely make them influential within horror subcultures over time.

Despite a few unsuccessful movies like Shark Tale and Turbo, DreamWorks has consistently delivered quality animation.

DreamWorks has created a number of truly excellent animated films that are consistently enjoyable from start to finish.
