Disney is giving guests a sneak peek at its upcoming theme park expansions. For the first time since announcing these major new lands, Disney has created an exhibit inside one of its parks featuring concept art and details about what visitors can expect. The exhibit focuses on three new areas: a Monsters, Inc. land (likely called Monstropolis) at Hollywood Studios, a *Carsthemed area called Piston Peak at Magic Kingdom, and a new section called Tropical Americas at Animal Kingdom.

This new show delves into complex ideas like free will, time travel, and the cyclical nature of events. Viewers who loved the intricate mystery, unsettling atmosphere, and emotional depth of Dark have been hoping for something similar, and It: Welcome to Derry could be it. While still rooted in the world of It, the series appears to be shifting focus from simple scares to a deeper exploration of how evil impacts families across generations, using the same carefully paced, fate-focused storytelling that made Dark so compelling.

Although the original Nightmare on Elm Street from 1984 is often considered Wes Craven’s best work, Dream Warriors is actually a more complex and fascinating film. It successfully blends horror with fantasy, and explores themes of trauma and overcoming it. Craven’s involvement as a co-writer, along with a fresh creative team building on his established story, combined the intense psychological fear of the first film with the exciting style of 1980s genre movies. The result was an unusual sequel that not only improved upon the original but also became the purest representation of Craven’s terrifying vision.

For the last fifty years, many TV shows have attempted to capture the spirit of Star Trek. However, it’s often forgotten that Star Trek itself was groundbreaking in the 1960s, much like The Outer Limits had been before it. The Outer Limits paved the way, creating a space for shows like Star Trek to explore new worlds and tell imaginative stories.

As a huge mystery show fan, I think Twin Peaks and Dark are absolute masterpieces. Twin Peaks starts out seeming pretty standard – you’ve got the dead girl, the quirky town, the detective investigating… it felt like a lot of other shows at first. But it quickly became clear they weren’t just going to follow the usual formula. They were setting up those familiar tropes to completely throw you for a loop! Dark, on the other hand, hits you with the puzzle right away. It opens with an Einstein quote, talks about time travel, and throws you into the main character’s life without much explanation. What struck me is that both shows prove it’s not just about having a good mystery. How a story is told is just as important, if not more so. It’s about the presentation, not just the plot!

Despite its incredible success, Seinfeld almost didn’t make it past its first season. Surprisingly, the show was nearly canceled even before it really began – after just a pilot episode was filmed. Looking back, it’s hard to believe that NBC almost dropped a show that eventually drew 76 million viewers for its final episode.

While many horror anime are lengthy, some of the best deliver truly terrifying experiences in just a few episodes – perfect for a weekend binge. These well-crafted and visually stunning series will leave horror fans both frightened and wishing they hadn’t finished them so quickly.

As a big MCU fan, I was so excited to hear that Avengers: Doomsday finished filming! It’s incredible that twenty-six of our favorite heroes returned. But honestly, even with that huge cast, it felt incomplete – a lot of characters we’ve come to love from the Multiverse Saga were missing, like Spider-Man and Daredevil. Now, one of the original Avengers has spoken out about not being included, and it really highlights how underused his character has been since Endgame. It’s frustrating to see such a great hero sidelined!

Our TV experts have chosen the most captivating new shows and movies available on Apple TV for Halloween 2025 and the beginning of November, including a critically acclaimed series with a perfect 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Fortunately, the new detective Mackenzie Clarke, created by Anna Samson, immediately made Return to Paradise a hit, capturing the same appeal as other shows in the “Paraverse” universe.
