Netflix just gave us our first real look at Wednesday Season 2, and it’s packed with gothic goodness. A new behind-the-scenes featurette dropped, and if you thought things were weird before — buckle up, because it looks like we’re going even deeper into the Addams Family’s twisted little world. Jenna Ortega is back as Wednesday Addams, and this time around, the family’s playing a much bigger role.

Whether you’re a horror fan or not, attempting to summon demons or playing bizarre games to scare each other is something that most of us do as children (and some of us still do)! I think of the Ouija Board, trying to summon Bloody Mary, or in the 90s The Candyman. Many of these games may have come from long ago, while others are derived from the modern age. A new Shudder original is now available to watch on AMC+ and the Shudder app, Elevator Game (2023).

The filmmaking duo of Cheslik and Tews have proven yet again that you don’t need a big budget to make magic. Whether they’re building slapstick gags or hiding the number of beavers that are actually in the film, Hundreds of Beavers will make you believe in their whimsical world. Hundreds of Beavers tells the epic tale of a persistent fur trapper who battles hundreds of beavers. Born as form of practicality when filming on a minuscule budget, the simple effects add a wealth of character to the film.
