  • ‘SNL’ Is Quietly Bringing Back the Best Part of Its ’90s Sketches

    Saturday Night Live recently celebrated its 50th anniversary on NBC, but over those five decades it's become commonplace for fans to complain that Lorne Michaels' show isn't as good as it used to be, that it isn't as funny, it's too political, it no longer produces big stars, and on and on.

  • It Was One of Last Year's Best, Most Engrossing Horror Movies - and It's Already Perfect for a New Adaptation

    If someone pitched the idea of a horror musical, you might think it to be an odd combination that doesn't go together. After all, musicals are often joyous and light, while horror is dark and scary. What is there to sing and dance about when it comes to monsters and death? However, they can go well together and have done so many times in the past. Horror is the genre that requires the most from its audience.

  • The Worst Jaws Movie Oddly Has the Most Terrifying Scene in the Franchise

    4 days ago | collider.com | Shawn Van Horn

    In 1975, Steven Spielberg changed film and horror forever with Jaws. Not only was it the first big summer blockbuster, but it has led generations to fear going into the water. The chum scene with Chief Brody (Roy Scheider) is one of the most famous jump scares of all time. The entire franchise is filled with many memorable, frightening scenes, but the scariest scene of the franchise doesn't come from the original 1975 film.

  • It’s Time the Unsung Hero of 'Jaws' Gets the Respect He Deserves

    5 days ago | collider.com | Shawn Van Horn

    Steven Spielberg is arguably the best director who ever lived, and while his first film might have been 1971's Duel, it was Jaws in 1975 that launched him into superstardom. Spielberg deserves credit for taking what could have been just another monster movie and turning it into a character piece that became one of the biggest blockbusters of all-time. He's not the only one who helped create the classic though.

  • Final Destination’s Genius Villain Choice Has Always Had a Hidden Downside - but Maybe it's Time to Fix It

    5 days ago | collider.com | Shawn Van Horn

    When Final Destination was released in 2000, it was different from any horror film we'd ever seen. Sure, all the trademarks of a post-Scream era slasher were there, with a young cast, a final boy or girl, lots of blood and guts, and a high body count, but unlike Scream or slashers such as Halloween before it, this killer couldn't be seen. Rather than being some guy in a mask with a knife, the villain in Final Destination was death itself.
