“Evil” Gets Shocking New Clip Ahead of Series Finale
The season finale of Evil, “Fear the End,” will air on August 22. While we are heartbroken to see this wonderfully dark series end, we are glad it existed. The series is one of my favorites; a mix of supernatural horrors and dark humor, it is a must-see.

Sink Your Teeth into the First Look At ‘Salem’s Lot’
The long-awaited movie adaptation of Stephen King‘s beloved horror novel Salem’s Lot is finally coming. Vanity Fair has shared the first batch of images from the movie directed by Gary Dauberman, who is known for his work on IT and The Nun. Dauberman told Variety, “You could do a very dry version of this movie, but that’s just not my personality,” He continued. “It’s trying to ride that wave’s ups and downs. You’re having fun with it, and then you can have a scare, and then you’re having fun again. Hopefully it feels like a complete ride at the end.” King himself took to social media earlier this year to speak out on the delay. “I’ve seen the new SALEM’S LOT and it’s quite good. Old-school horror filmmaking: slow build, big payoff. Not sure why WB is holding it back; not like it’s embarrassing or anything.” Set in 1975, when King’s original novel was published, Salem’s Lot follows author Ben
