Prime Video is serving up a fresh, blood-soaked coronation with a brand-new adaptation of Stephen King’s debut masterpiece, Carrie. Helmed by modern horror auteur Mike Flanagan (The Haunting of Hill House, Midnight Mass), this eight-episode series brings the legendary telekinetic prom queen into the unforgiving matrix of the digital age. Following the death of her father, Carrie White is ripped from her isolated upbringing under her zealot mother, Margaret. She’s thrown directly into the cruel ecosystem of high school. There, she must navigate viral bullying and relentless social media harassment. All while her terrifying powers awaken alongside her adolescence. The newly released trailer promises a high-tension collision of classic terror and modern teenage anxiety. Expanding the King Lore for a Digital Era Rather than delivering a carbon copy of Brian De Palma’s 1976 classic, Flanagan uses King’s thematic foundation to explore how technology amplifies cruelty, empathy, and isolation.

Bloodstream Announces 'Nightmarish,' Designed to Be Watched on Your Phone

Bloodstream Announces ‘Nightmarish,’ Designed to Be Watched on Your Phone

BloodStream, the niche streaming home for all things sci-fi, thriller, and horror, is officially hijacking the 9:16 format. On Sunday, June 28, the platform premieres Nightmarish. It is the first-ever serialized horror anthology shot natively for your phone. There’s no widescreen cropping, no wasted space, just pure, thumb-driven terror designed to be binged from top to bottom. Horror Fills the $8 Billion Gap. The vertical video boom topped $8 billion globally in 2025. It was driven almost entirely by the soap-opera suds of apps like ReelShort and DramaBox. But while 18-to-30-year-olds are consuming horror and thrillers at twice the rate of romance, the vertical space has remained surprisingly devoid of scares. BloodStream is fixing that. Instead of retrofitting old content for mobile, they’ve engineered a show meant to scare you one swipe at a time. “The micro-drama wave proved audiences will watch a full story one vertical episode at a time. It just hasn’t really scared them yet,” says Shaked

Inside 'Halloween Is Grinch Night': Dr. Seuss’ Forgotten Emmy-Winning Nightmare

Inside ‘Halloween Is Grinch Night’: Dr. Seuss’ Forgotten Emmy-Winning Nightmare

Every December, television networks blast 1966’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas! on an endless loop until the roast beast turns to ash. Everyone knows the holiday classic, but buried deep within the vault of 1970s television lies the Grinch’s forgotten, psychedelic, fever-dream companion piece: Halloween Is Grinch Night. Broadcast by ABC on October 28, 1977, this film traded Yuletide warmth for pure visual madness, unleashing a full-blown parade of nightmare fuel that ultimately snatched the 1978 Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Children’s Program. The Masterminds Behind the Madness Written by Theodor Geisel (Dr. Seuss) himself and directed by Gerard Baldwin, the special swapped out the late Boris Karloff for the distinct voice work of Hans Conried. To keep things delightfully eerie, Sesame Street maestro Joe Raposo provided a bizarre, atmospheric score, while original vocalist Thurl Ravenscroft returned to lend his booming bass to the musical numbers. The result is a film that feels less like a cozy bedtime story and

Created by Katie Dippold, the series anchored a dominant evening for Apple TV, which swept 18 trophies that night, more than any rival network or streaming platform. The streamer’s impressive tally was rounded out by strong performances from Pluribus with four wins. And Margo’s Got Money Troubles and Palm Royale both got three each. Ancient Curses vs. Small-Town Marketing Set 40 miles off the coast of New England, the series stars Matthew Rhys as Mayor Tom Loftis, a desperately ambitious politician. He’s trying to save his dying island town by rebranding it into a premier tourist destination. Unfortunately for Tom, the locals are notoriously superstitious, cell reception is nonexistent, and everyone treats the mayor like a coward (a characterization he fully earns). Just as his
