The 10 Scariest 'Are You Afraid Of The Dark?' Tales
Nickelodeon was a much different channel back in the 90s. Millennials like me who grew up in the decade no doubt remember the abundance of awesome television game shows, comedy shows, and shows aimed at teens. One such inclusion that caused us younger kids to sleep with the lights on was Are You Afraid of the Dark?

Why 'Repo! The Genetic Opera' Is The Best Musical You've Probably Never Seen
Very rarely do we see the words "horror" and "musical" in the same sentence, but it's not something that has never happened before. After all, we've had hits such as The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, The Phantom of the Opera, and Little Shop of Horrors.

Let's Face It: 'Clue' Is the Funniest Movie You've Probably Never Seen
Audiences were first introduced to a film adaptation of the classic Parker Brothers murder-mystery game, Clue, back in 1985. Despite having a cast of comedic stars such as Tim Curry, Madeline Kahn, and Martin Mull, the film was basically a flop at the box office and somewhat fell on its face. However, a continued cult following of the murder-comedy has kept it alive for over 30-years and it has began slowly rising in cult popularity. Even with that, and a forthcoming remake with Ryan Reynolds, there are still many people who have never sat down to watch Clue.

'Star Wars' Is Totally a Girl Thing and It's Not Tough to See Why
It's a given that when the topic of anything "nerdy" comes up, the standard image that most people think of is that weird guy in the basement drinking unholy amounts of Mountain Dew and watching Star Trek. Right? While that stereotype might have some basis in reality, the nerd culture of today has evolved into something much different, and it includes a variety of fans from all walks of life which, yes, includes women.

The Scariest Thing About Modern Horror Is That It Stigmatizes Disabilities and Mental Illness
There is really no denying that the "grotesque" has always been an important aspect of the horror genre. In both TV and film, creators have played on our superficiality as a culture. Seeing a deformity or rare disease often makes us uncomfortable, and it can amplify up the creep factor if utilized properly.

10 Moments Janis Ian Was the Hero We Deserved
High school is that stressful place almost everyone has been to. While some seemed to find enjoyment out of it, a majority of us couldn't wait to walk out of the doors and never return. Someone who shared our desire to get out, but managed to have a little bit of fun in the process was Mean Girls' own Janis Ian.

Examining the Scientific Accuracy of the 'Saw' Franchise
Horror films and science go hand in hand (in a way), but it's generally acceptable to say that the gruesome scenes in horror films aren't necessarily realistic. However, that can't be said for every horror attempt. While most are still within a realm of fantasy with no realistic way of translating into the real world, there is one franchise in particular that did its homework before shocking us with gore.

Here's Why 'Chasing Amy' Is Kevin Smith's True Cinematic Achievement
Most people would say that Clerks is director/writer Kevin Smith's best film. I beg to differ. Smith has built an eclectic filmography, with films ranging from comedy to drama to horror, and a long-running TV presence thanks to Comic Book Men, and an extensive podcast library. But Chasing Amy is a gem that moviegoers often forget about. That is, if they've even seen it at all.

14 Film/TV Restaurants We Wish Were Real
Man, I could really go for a "Pepper Don't Preach" burger. Unfortunately, not every fictional restaurant has become a reality. We have all gotten excited over the fictitious restaurants that have come true, but there are still plenty of potentially great establishments that continue to exist only in the realm of fantasy.

4 Ways The Joker's Story Is Better In The 'Suicide Squad' Official Novel
Believe it or not, it's now been a year since we received the extended cut of Suicide Squad. While some fans were satisfied, others are still a bit peeved over the lack of screen time for Jared Leto's version of the Joker. If you're one of those fans who are still feeling like you wanted more from Suicide Squad, it might be time for you to hop onto Amazon and pick up a book that will no doubt fill in a lot of gaps. Longtime DC Comics writer Marv Wolfman adapted Suicide Squad director David Ayer's original script to give us "Suicide Squad: The Official Movie Novelization." And yes, it is better than either version of the movie.

'Suicide Squad' Mistakes: Did Continuity Errors Damage Harley Quinn?
Harley Quinn is no doubt one of the brightest stars in Suicide Squad. As a character, she's manipulative, funny, psychotic, and unpredictable ... which is exactly how Harley should be. Margot Robbie really knocked it out of the park with her performance as the former psychiatrist turned criminal sidekick.

4 Reasons Why The Joker & Harley Quinn Spinoff Needs to Be a Prequel
The DCEU is continuously (and confusingly) expanding, and despite what audiences have to say about it, more and more projects keep joining the lineup. In addition to the rest of the Justice League characters getting their own movies, we also have sequels coming for Man of Steel, Suicide Squad, and Wonder Woman. Not to mention we also have announced spin-offs for Harley Quinn and Nightwing. And a whole bunch of Joker heading our way.
