Netflix is putting out a lot of new series this month, from the Korean zombie series “All of Us Are Dead,” to “The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window.” Wow, that’s one hell of a title and it happens to be what we’re here to talk about. In the series, looking like something straight off of Lifetime, “For heartbroken Anna (Kristen Bell), every day is the same. She sits with her wine, staring out the window, watching life go by without her. But when a handsome neighbor (Tom Riley) and his adorable daughter move in across the street, Anna starts to see a light at the end of the tunnel. That is until she witnesses a gruesome murder… Or did she?” “The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window” premieres n Netflix on January 28, 2022.

Director Abe Forsythe left us entertained with her horror-comedy Little Monsters. Now, he’s back and he’s reteaming with the movie’s actor Josh Gad for his new romantic dramedy series “Wolf Like Me” which has a genre twist. “Everyone brings their own set of baggage to a new relationship. Gary (Gad) and Mary (Isla Fisher) are no different. Gary is an emotional wreck and struggles to provide for his daughter since the death of his wife. Mary has a secret she can’t bring herself to share with anyone. The universe brought these two together for a reason, they just need to keep following the signs.” I’d love for audiences to go into watching the series not knowing where it’s going or what gets revealed as the show progresses because I think if that happens, then it’s going to shock and surprise people. You get to the end of every episode and there’s a reason that you have to keep watching.” Forsythe

It’s perhaps fair to say that, for all their fame, vampires have never been a popular villain in media – or, at least, nowhere near as popular as zombies, murderous mountain folk, or mutant monsters. This might have something to do with their classical portrayal as rather cultured, singular people, which doesn’t exactly create the same kind of nightmare scenario as hordes of the undead. Limited Options Of course, there are plenty of vampire stories that have managed to make an effective evil out of our long-toothed friends. Books like Salem’s Lot by Stephen King and Anne Rice’s Interview with a Vampire stand alongside a raft of films such as Let Me In, 30 Days of Night, and the inexplicably popular Twilight saga, which was shunned by almost every studio before going on to make US$3.3bn. In gaming, though, vampires never really took off as a concept. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim added a menacing cult and the ability to

Last announced to be opening in theaters on January 28th, Morbius will now be landing in theaters this April.

Jared Leto stars as Michael Morbius, a scientist who, while trying to find a cure for a rare blood disease, accidentally transforms himself into a living vampire.
