It started with a list of six themes which was cut down to four and then two. And now Ryan Murphy’s “American Horror Story” poll is in its final stage with, well, a recount! Once again, we still don’t entirely understand the purpose of these polls, but it seems Murphy and the “AHS” team are gauging interest in potential upcoming seasons of the FX series. As Murphy keeps teasing, “the American Horror Story universe is expanding.” The final two themes had been “American Horror Story: Bloody Mary” and “American Horror...

From creator Jeff Baena and executive producers the Duplass Brothers, Showtime has ordered up a new anthology series titled “Cinema Toast,” Variety reports tonight.

It’s the end of an era for Yahoo! Answers. The internet’s demented version of “20 Questions” will be getting the axe later this year. But before that happens, a group of intrepid modders decided to do the “right thing”, and port over the best of Yahoo! Answers to Sega’s The Typing of The Dead: Overkill. Called RIP Yahoo Answers, the mod essentially imports custom dictionaries into the game, which are rife with the inane questions that have graced Yahoo! Answers for over 15 years. But really, given the weird phrases...

Author Grady Hendrix released his second novel My Best Friend’s Exorcism back in 2016, which he describes as “Beaches meets The Exorcist.” Set in the late ’80s during the so-called Satanic Panic, it’s a touching story of high school friendship and, well, demonic possession.

We still don’t know exactly *why* Murphy started this poll, we must remind, but it seems he and the “AHS” team are gauging interest in potential upcoming seasons of the FX series. As Murphy keeps teasing, “the American Horror Story universe is expanding.” The final vote is between “American Horror Story:...

The adage “be careful what you wish for” takes on a sinister threat in the realm of horror. Wishes granted never bring happiness, and they come with a steep price tag. The wish granted often comes in the form of a supernatural entity; an evil genie or djinn. With The Djinn, cursed wish-fulfillment befalls a young child and dangles the potential for another stale entry on the familiar Monkey’s Paw scenario. Instead, it pares back the bells and whistles for a meticulous simplicity that lets the scares and suspense do the...
