The Housemaid’s Director, Paul Feig, signs on to Direct the Horror Movie ‘Detention’

It looks like director Paul Feig is trading in his signature sharp suits and maids for a one-way ticket to the dark side. Hot on the heels of directing the global smash-hit thriller The Housemaid last Christmas—and with its highly anticipated sequel, The Housemaid’s Secret, already on his plate—Feig is diving headfirst into pure terror. Deadline reports that he has officially signed on to direct Detention, a brand-new horror-thriller from genre titans Blumhouse, Atomic Monster, and Platinum Dunes. Daniel Gold penned the spec screenplay, and while the exact plot details are currently locked away in a high-security locker, insiders say the project is exactly the kind of sinister material Feig was hunting for. After dipping his toes into the thriller pool with The Housemaid, the director reportedly wanted to try his hand at something significantly darker. A Heavyweight Horror Coalition While the movie doesn’t have an official studio home just yet, industry insiders note that Universal Pictures will almost certainly

“American Horror Story” Season 13 Loses Its Pop Princess

In a disappointing twist for pop music fans, Ariana Grande has officially dropped out of “American Horror Story” Season 13. Variety reports that the Grammy-winning superstar had to exit the FX anthology series due to unavoidable scheduling conflicts with her ongoing Eternal Sunshine world tour. The news comes as a bitter pill, especially since Grande previously teased her involvement back in November. The gig would have marked her grand debut in the AHS universe, while serving as a delightful “Scream Queens” reunion alongside Murphy, Emma Roberts, and Billie Lourd. The Coven Reassembles While losing Grande hurts, FX isn’t exactly short on star power for the upcoming milestone season. The network recently dropped a star-studded list for Season 13. They confirmed an absolute powerhouse reunion of the franchise’s most legendary, heavy-hitting alums. Returning icons include Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, and Angela Bassett.

From Lugosi’s Cape to Art the Clown: Inside the Academy Museum’s Blockbuster New Horror Exhibit

If your idea of a good time is a bucket of popcorn and a terrifying jump scare, clear your calendar. The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures is officially giving the horror genre the high-art respect it deserves with its massive new exhibition, The Horror Show, opening September 26, 2026. Taking over the fourth-floor Marilyn and Jeffrey Katzenberg Gallery through July 25, 2027, this immersive exhibition explores more than a century of cinematic dread. The project has some serious genre royalty behind it, too. Four-time Oscar nominee Willem Dafoe and director Osgood Perkins (Longlegs) serve on the advisory team. As Dafoe puts it: “Cinema in general engages your sense of wonder, but horror can explode it.” Here is your survival guide to navigating the exhibit. Inside the Six Chambers of Dread Visitors enter through a dark, eerie soundscape before hitting a central hallway lined with historic posters.

“The Terror” Will Return for Season Four with Another True Story Inspired Tale

If you thought AMC’s prestige horror anthology series “The Terror” was dead and buried, think again. The show is proving to be just as resilient as the monsters it features.

Keanu Reeves Teases Upcoming Sci-fi Shark Movie

While director Tim Miller (Deadpool) is currently keeping the official title of his next sci-fi thriller quiet, John Wick star Keanu Reeves just gave the ultimate elevator pitch. When Collider caught up with the internet’s favorite action icon to ask what exactly lured him into Miller’s mysterious new sandbox, Reeves didn’t mince words. His glorious five-word breakdown? “Sharks. Time machine. Groundhog Day.” Honestly, Keanu, you had us at sharks. The Loop: A Caribbean Bloodbath Reeves’ delightfully blunt synopsis lines up perfectly with the chaotic plot details that surfaced earlier this year. The untitled Warner Bros. project centers on a smuggler. He finds himself completely marooned in the middle of a deadly double-cross while pulling a job in the Caribbean Sea. If a botched heist wasn’t stressful enough, the poor guy wakes up surrounded by a floating graveyard of bodies. And heavily armed hostile mercenaries, and a swarm of ravenous, bloodthirsty sharks. The ultimate kicker? He’s trapped in a relentless time

Netflix Unleashes the Chilling Series “The Survivors”

Welcome to Evelyn Bay. It’s a postcard-perfect Tasmanian slice of heaven. The cliffs are towering, and the ocean is breathtaking. However, the local pastimes include harboring decades of psychological trauma and dark secrets. If your watchlist has been lacking a moody, atmospheric Australian noir that doubles as a masterclass in small-town claustrophobia, Netflix has you covered. All six episodes of the limited series “The Survivors” are officially streaming worldwide. Adapted from Jane Harper’s massive bestseller, this isn’t your standard run-of-the-mill police procedural. Showrunner Tony Ayres (Clickbait, Stateless) describes the show as a bit of a trick. “I often describe the show as a Trojan horse. It’s a family melodrama disguised as a murder mystery.” Dead Men (and Women) Tell Tales Fifteen years ago, a single, catastrophic storm tore through Evelyn Bay. It left two people drowned, a young girl vanished without a trace, and a community permanently scarred. Unable to bear the crushing weight of survival guilt, Kieran Elliott packed
