Long before infinite algorithmic doom-scrolling ruined Friday nights, going to the movies meant securing two feature films for the price of one single ticket. Free streamer Pluto TV is officially bringing back the sacred double feature tradition, teaming up with entertainment powerhouse Entertainment Tonight to launch Double Feature Fridays starting August 21. The weekly streaming event pairs a beloved, heavy-hitting studio classic with an exclusive free streaming debut of an indie gem. A shared actor, theme, or genre cleverly links each. Hosted by ET correspondent Emily Curl, the program promises to turn brainless channel-surfing into a genuine weekly movie ritual. Raiding Hollywood’s Deepest Vaults Because Pluto TV sits comfortably under the Paramount umbrella, the show gets direct keys to Entertainment Tonight’s staggering 45-year archive of red-carpet coverage, on-set interviews, and exclusive set visits. Before each pairing begins, Curl will introduce the films using rare archival footage. This gives audiences a look at career-defining moments, physical production hurdles, and behind-the-scenes secrets

When NBC premiered “The Hunting Party,” it hit the airwaves armed with a genuinely fantastic high-concept hook: a top-secret fortress housing the world’s most terrifying psychopaths gets breached. This unleashes a colony of serial killers loose on the public. The resulting show was a sleek, “Killer-of-the-Week” procedural that essentially played out like Hannibal-lite. It was flashy, it was violent, and it was undeniably a bit of fun. Unfortunately, the network has decided to pull the plug. NBC has officially canceled the crime-thriller after just two seasons, leaving the remaining fugitives entirely at large—at least on network television. The Math Behind the Murder As is usually the case in Hollywood, the cancellation boils down to cold, hard ratings. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the viewership just wasn’t strong enough to justify keeping the lights on at the secret prison. ‘The Hunting Party‘ averaged a meager 3.7 million viewers after a week of DVR playback during its sophomore season. That is a

If you’ve been waiting for Renny Harlin’s Strangers trilogy, your patience has officially paid off. Lionsgate’s highly divisive 2024 franchise revival, The Strangers: Chapter 1, has officially found a new home on Peacock. Led by “Riverdale’s” Madelaine Petsch, the film kicked off a massive, three-part standalone saga. They were designed to breathe new, blood-soaked life into Bryan Bertino’s original home-invasion masterpiece. The Ultimate Box Office Paradox To say Chapter 1 divided audiences would be a massive understatement. The film was absolutely savaged by critics, currently sitting at a grim 21% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. However, it has a slightly more forgiving 45% Popcornmeter score from fans. But moviegoers didn’t care about the reviews. With a budget of $8.5 million, it went on a rampage at the box office, grossing over $48 million worldwide. Apparently, people still love watching a young couple make the worst survival decisions of their lives. For the uninitiated, the plot delivers exactly what it says

Pack your bags and double-check your life insurance! We’re finally headed back to summer camp! While the wait for Peacock’s “Crystal Lake” has felt as painful as a machete to the skull, the silence in the woods has officially been broken. Showrunner Brad Caleb Kane (IT: Welcome to Derry) took to Instagram this weekend to channel his inner Crazy Ralph, posting a cryptic teaser: “News coming. Monday.” And the big reveal? The release date has now officially been announced! You can witness Jason’s return this October! The “How-To” Guide on Raising a Slasher This isn’t your standard 80s hack-and-slash. As an A24 production, expect a prequel series that leans into atmosphere and “prestige” dread. The series aims to provide a definitive guide to raising a supernatural mass murderer, and the casting suggests they are swinging for the fences. Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees: In a fascinating narrative pivot, this version of Pamela reportedly traded a potential singing career for the

From James Wan’s Atomic Monster and series creator Ian McCulloch (“Yellowstone”) comes the new series “Teacup.” Today, two new clips tease the horror of the things to come in this new series ahead of its premiere. “Teacup” centers on a group of people trapped on a rural farm in Georgia. To survive, they must come together to face an out-of-this-world threat as they find themselves trapped behind a line created by a mysterious stranger. One step over the line is deadly. Family drama, a suffering child, and grotesque deaths add to the chaos and well-built tension of the series that will be your new obsession. Inspired by Robert R. McCammon’s hit novel Stinger, the series stars “The Handmaid’s Tale” actress Yvonne Strahovski, Scott Speedman (“Grey’s Anatomy”), Kathy Baker (“Colony”), Boris McGiver (“Evil”), Chaske Spencer (Twilight franchise) and Rob Morgan (“Lawmen: Bass Reeves”).

Peacock is gearing up to give subscribers a real treat this Halloween season. As part of its Halloween programming, Peacock will unleash the new horror series “Hysteria!,” whose new trailer teases some serious satanic panic as a local metal band raises some hell. Directed by Jonathan Goldstein (Dungeons & Dragons, Game Night), the series sees “a beloved varsity quarterback disappear during the “Satanic Panic” of the late 1980s. “A struggling high school heavy metal band of outcasts realize they can capitalize on the town’s sudden interest in the occult by building a reputation as a Satanic metal band, until a bizarre series of murders, kidnappings, and reported “supernatural activity” triggers a leather-studded witch hunt that leads directly back to them.” The eight-episode first season of “Hysteria!” features an all-star cast that includes Julie Bowen (Modern Family), Anna Camp (Pitch Perfect), and genre icon Bruce Campbell (The Evil Dead) as the town Sheriff.

As a true crime fan, I can confirm that great shows are sometimes hard to find, but Peacock is coming to the rescue with their new docuseries, “World’s Most Notorious Killers.” The series takes viewers on a chilling journey around the globe to uncover the stories behind five infamous international murder cases. It features firsthand accounts from individuals close to each case, including former detectives, family members, lawyers, forensic scientists, and journalists. Each episode delves deep into the details of a specific murder investigation, shedding light on the shocking crimes and the individuals involved.
