The 2019 production of Beetlejuice garnered eight Tony nominations and follows the familiar story of a deceased couple whose ghosts haunt the Deetz family.
Dead Lover's heroine is odorous by trade, a lovelorn gravedigger of indeterminate age and origin. Glowicki's accent, roaming between Canada, Canvey Island and Canberra, becomes part of the fun—she's driven to extremes after her verse-spouting poet sweetheart perishes in a shipwreck. Part-Burke and Hare, part-Victor Frankenstein, she salvages what she can of the corpse.
Upon going solo after White Zombie's breakup in the late '90s, the one-time noise-rock underdog became metal's demonoid phenom with 1998's Hellbilly Deluxe, a monster mosh of horror-themed industrial-metal that spawned the generational vampiric speedway anthem, "Dragula," along with several other Halloween playlist essentials.
Who needs all those notes? I got tired of that. Really, really tired of that. And I'm like, man, if you're in the arts, you should do everything you can to protect your art. So Campbell knew he wanted to make a movie, and he knew he didn't want to go through the big Hollywood machine.

Until recently, "liminal spaces" were only known to architects. But on the Internet, storytellers and amateur filmmakers have morphed these ubiquitous places you pass by on errand runs into caverns of cosmic terror. Now, a new A24 film from 20-year-old filmmaker Kane Parsons is set to kick off the summer and christen it the season of liminal horror.
The new FX series The Beauty opens in Paris, as a model played by Bella Hadid strides down a fashion show runway to the tune of Prodigy's "Firestarter." Then, she starts to overheat, going on a rampage that involves grabbing bottles of water out of people's hands, stealing a motorcycle, drinking out of a toilet, and eventually meeting a gruesome, explosive end.
The beloved creepy, kooky and hilarious characters came out of the fertile imagination of American cartoonist Charles Addams. Having retouched photos of corpses for True Detective magazine may have contributed to the macabre characters he later created for The New Yorker, appropriately dubbed The Addams Family. His cartoons attracted the attention of television producer David Levy, which led to the successful television series.
The subsequent standoff moved to Kiritsis' apartment and eventually concluded in a live televised news conference. The whole ordeal received some renewed attention in a 2022 podcast dramatization starring Jon Hamm. That's owed significantly to Skarsgård, who gives one of his finest and least adorned performances. While best known for films like It, The Crow and Nosferatu, here Skarsgård has little more than some green polyester and a very '70s mustache to alter his looks. The straightforward, jittery intensity of his performance propels Dead Man's Wire.
Ministry frontman Al Jourgensen's acting chops are on display in the trailer for the upcoming grindhouse comedic-horror film Jesus Cop. The industrial legend is part of an ensemble case that also includes Green Jellÿ singer Bill Manspeaker and Jackass star Bam Margera (as the voice of God). The movie, which stars Alex Petrovich as the title character, is described on its official website as follows:
English film-maker Alex Cox comes riding into town with this jauntily odd and surreal western which he has indicated will be his swansong, shot on the rugged plains of Almeria in Spain and also Arizona. Cox himself is the star an elegant, dapper presence and his co-writer is veteran spaghetti western actor Gianni Garko. The story has obvious relevance to contemporary America, and a flash-forward makes some of this clear.
After spotting that Eli's rash guard conceals a red, flaky skin disorder, the boys have concluded that he has the titular plague, a contagious disease that affects social standing as much as it does dermatological well-being. If anyone ever touches him, they must thoroughly wash themselves before they're considered full-blown infected. Even something as innocent as Eli sitting at the same lunch table sends his teammates running and screaming.
