This story explores the beginnings of one of Westeros’ most unusual and controversial kings. He earned the nickname “the commoner king” because he favored the common people with his policies, which angered the nobility. His reign was marked by frequent rebellions and challenges from even his oldest allies, like Lyonel Baratheon. The story also reveals how Egg eventually became known as Aegon the Unlikely.
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.
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.
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.
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!).
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.
He appears more interested in referencing horror elements than actually directing a horror film. While he’s mentioned being inspired by classics like The Shining and Psycho, and he oversaw the production of films like Gremlins and Arachnophobia – which touch on horror themes – it’s surprising he hasn’t directed a dedicated horror movie. Though, his 1972 TV film, Something Evil, is genuinely scary and often overlooked. We’re also not going to rehash the debate about whether he secretly directed Poltergeist.
Tubi announced in early 2026 that it’s significantly expanding its selection of animated content. The free streaming service is focusing on a currently underserved audience by adding a large collection of classic cartoons, recognizing the growing popularity of nostalgic animation.
Disney+ offers a range of sci-fi shows, including those connected to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While some, like the Agatha All Along series, blend fantasy elements, many feature typical sci-fi themes like advanced technology and space exploration. However, one MCU show is particularly outstanding and is widely considered one of the best sci-fi series available on Disney+.
While the Friday the 13th movies and the slasher genre as a whole have become more well-known over time, many other films from the 1980s have since gained more attention. These include both realistic thrillers like The Stepfather and supernatural horror stories like Dark Night of the Scarecrow, ultimately lessening the impact of what originally made Friday the 13th stand out.
