Review of 'Sharp Objects' 4
"You can't change history," Mr. Lacey tells Amma, as she tries her little best to seduce him—or begin to seduce him—in the fourth episode of Sharp Objects on HBO last night. If this were a time travel story, some character could set forth to prove Lacey wrong. Well, there is a kind of time travel in Sharp Objects, but it's the metaphysical or mental kind, not what we saw in the recently canceled Timeless series on NBC.

'American Horror Story': Season 8
Recently, like many American Horror Story fans, I have been trying to re-watch as many old episodes as possible to prepare myself for the newest season of AHS. On Friday, July 20, American Horror Story's official Instagram revealed the subtitle of the highly-anticipated Murder House and Coven crossover. According to the brand-new poster, season eight's official title is Apocalypse. With so many possible theories on what the name would be, I am not surprised that they landed on Apocalypse, with the series need to scare the audience it's a wonder that this was not the title of the first season! The new season is set to air on September 12 at 10/9c on FX, as most of the previous ones have, and like many fans, I can not wait to see how this season pans out!

Review of 'Sharp Objects' 1 and 2
Catching up with the first two episodes of Sharp Objects, the limited summer series on HBO. It's distantly reminiscent of True Detective and Broadchurch, with a little Cat On A Hot Tin Roof and even "Eleanor Rigby" thrown in (one of the victims had a spider which she kept "in a jar by the door").

'Tales from the Crypt' Review
*This is a full episode review. A spoiler warning is in effect.* Hello Boils and Ghouls, and welcome to today's tale. Now, I know there are some ladies out there who wouldn't mind having the finer things that life has to offer: having the most fashionable clothing, looking beautiful every day of the week, having some extra pocket money, and having a handsome man on your arm (or whichever gender one would prefer).

Horror Comes Home
With the recent announcement of Child’s Play & Nightbreed being developed as TV series, horror film-to-TV adaptations are pretty hot in Hollywood right now—but that wasn’t always the case. There was a time when studios weren't sure what to do with these properties and censorship on television prevented violent films from making that leap. Now films like Snowpiercer and The Lost Boys are getting the small screen treatment, with TNT greenlighting the Bong Joon-ho film-to-series starring Jennifer Connelly, and Rob Thomas producing an adaptation of the Joel Schumacher 80s vampire classic over at the CW. Let's take a look back at some of the other horror film to horror TV series hits & misses over the years.

'American Horror Story': Crossover?
We know the drill; it’s that time of year again. Every year we come in partially blind and knowing very little about what’s involved when a season of everyone’s favorite anthology horror show, American Horror Story, makes its long-anticipated return at FX, but you don’t have to hold your breath for much longer. We finally know what this upcoming season is about — well, sort of — and it’s going to be a dream come true for super fans that love Season 1 and Season 3.

Negan vs. Rick - Should Season 8 Have Ended With a Major Death?
The dynamic of protagonist vs antagonist has been present ever since humans have formed societies and has evolved to take countless forms. One of the most anticipated of these being as soon as Negan, portrayed by Jeffery Dean Morgan, was introduced to the survivor-group led by Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) at the beginning of season 7 of the hit cable series The Walking Dead.

'Supernatural'
Supernatural first started airing in 2005 and is still airing. If you haven't seen this show, it's about two brothers following their father's footsteps as "hunters", fighting evil, supernatural beings of many kinds, including monsters, demons, and gods that roam the Earth. Now I’m going to list some interesting facts about either the show or the cast.

'The Harvest': A Review of 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' Season 1, Episode 2
We pick up this episode where "Welcome to the Hellmouth" left off, with Luke’s gaping jaws. But — oh no! — he’s burned by the cross that Angel gave Buffy, giving our heroine the chance to escape. This makes Angel’s rather redundant appearance in the previous episode a little more relevance, but he still doesn’t have a great deal to do in this two-parter.
