Minority Mindset

Great vampire TV shows aren’t just about scares; they delve into complex moral questions, create believable worlds, and develop rich backstories. These shows often use the idea of eternal life to explore how characters change and grow, and they recognize that vampires can represent deeper ideas about what it means to be human. Over the years, television has offered many different takes on vampires – sometimes they’re flawed heroes, sometimes dangerous villains, and sometimes just lonely figures trying to find their place.

Despite being an older game, Phantasy Star IV still holds up incredibly well. Its quick gameplay and focus on characters make it feel surprisingly current, like a retro-styled modern game. It’s easily comparable to the best games on the SNES, and any fan of Japanese role-playing games should definitely play it (or revisit it!).

Lots of fantastic movies never become well-known, and that’s true for horror too. Classic horror actors like Lon Chaney, Vincent Price, and Peter Cushing all starred in excellent films that didn’t get the recognition they deserved. Here are some of the best older horror movies that are still genuinely scary today.

The show 1883, a spin-off of Yellowstone, first aired in December 2021 and concluded with ten episodes in February 2022. Although many expected a second season of 1883, it never came to be. Instead, a different story within the Yellowstone universe was developed. It’s surprising, given the show’s critical success – it received three Primetime Emmy Award nominations – that a second season wasn’t made. However, there were valid reasons why 1883 didn’t continue.

I truly believe these films are masterpieces, and it’s about so much more than just remembering them fondly from my childhood. What really sets them apart is how boldly they were made – the incredible artistry, the deep emotions they evoke, and the fact that they didn’t shy away from tackling complex or mature themes. They weren’t just made for kids; they were genuinely ambitious works of art. From grand science fiction stories to dramatic retellings of biblical tales and even strange, experimental films, I think these animated treasures deserve a lot more recognition.
