Why is Doctor Who rejecting Horror in favor of Whimsy?

1 month ago | 25yearslatersite.com | Byron Lafayette

Shadow & Substance is a bi-weekly column that explores the world of film and TV, especially in the genres of sci-fi and horror. Asking the questions and exploring the answers that lie in the middle ground between light and shadow. Doctor Who is an iconic TV show, first started in 1963, featuring the adventures of a time-traveling “Time Lord” and his many human companions. It continued for many years until ending in 1989.
Every Twin Peaks Episode Ranked

1 month ago | 25yearslatersite.com | Andrew Grevas

Recently myself and a group of 14 other Twin Peaks scholars, authors & podcasters came together with one simple goal: To rank every single Twin Peaks episode. Now you might be asking yourself why? Art is subjective & Twin Peaks is an ongoing narrative. The answer is simple: Most major outlets that do these kinds of rankings don’t have passionate fans & subject matter experts working on them. We do.

On October 7th, 2025, “Horror in Haddonfield: Halloween’s Untold Stories” will publish. The book features 25 cast & crew interviews from all 13 Halloween films, plus interviews with those close to the franchise. Now for the first time ever, I am revealing the full list of interviews I conducted for the book.
Grafted: A Mashup of The Substance, Mean Girls, and Face/Off

Jan 22, 2025 | 25yearslatersite.com | Sean Parker

Beauty standards for women were put on notice last year as Coralie Fargeat’s body-horror masterpiece The Substance roared into theaters. The innovative and hypnotic thriller has absolutely dominated the horror space since last summer, even earning Demi Moore her third Golden Globe nomination and first win.
Ufologists Unite For 'The Program'

Jan 19, 2025 | 25yearslatersite.com | Brendan Jesus

If you’ve followed any of my coverage on The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch or Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch, then you know where I land on the topic of Ufology. This area of study is fascinating from a multitude of angles. On one side of the aisle are a group of dedicated researchers and experiencers who long for ‘D’isclosure and government transparency.
I Know What I Saw! 5 Cryptid Films To Sink Your Teeth Into

Jan 18, 2025 | 25yearslatersite.com | Brendan Jesus

Bigfoot has a monopoly on the cryptid subgenre. Something about the hairy creature tickles the fancy of filmmakers over other fascinating cryptids. When putting this list of cryptid films together I knew I had to talk about at least one Bigfoot film—but my goal is to shine a light on some underseen cryptid films that scratch that High Strangeness itch. Let’s grab our video cameras, head deep into the woods, and get to the bottom of what lurks in the shadows.
David Lynch Taught Us How To Dream

Jan 16, 2025 | 25yearslatersite.com | Andrew Grevas

On January 16th, 2025, the world lost an auteur. David Lynch passed away just four days before his 79th birthday. Pauline Kael once called Lynch “a populist surrealist,” which is true, but he was also the artist who made American Surrealism no longer an oxymoron. What you’re about to read is stream of conscious writing. David Lynch was not only my favorite filmmaker, he was my hero. I’ve been a fan of his work since I was 5 years old, watching Twin Peaks with my parents.
The 100 Candles Game: The Last Possession is an Uneven Conjuring of Short Films

Jan 16, 2025 | 25yearslatersite.com | Sean Parker

I’m a sucker for a good anthology film. Give me a variety of scares with different monsters or directors. I don’t care. Fill it with gory effects, makeup, and strangeness, and count me in. I will admit to knowing nothing about The 100 Candles Game when the sequel, The Last Possession, was offered for review, but it didn’t take much for me to want to know more about the series.
Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch: Underwater Kingdom (S4E8)

Jan 16, 2025 | 25yearslatersite.com | Brendan Jesus

Hey, fellow explorers! Just two months ago, we saw the premiere of Season 4 of Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch, and it’s been quite the season. From the return of Eric Drummond to trips all across the globe and near-cave-ins, Season 4 has thrown a lot on our plate. It was a complete 180 from the incredibly flat Season 3, but what did we learn? Did we get any closer to finding the Aztec gold?
The Lady of the Lake Dives into True Crime and the Paranormal

Jan 16, 2025 | 25yearslatersite.com | Sean Parker

I don’t know about anyone else, but I think we need a subgenre label for the growing number of paranormal documentary films. They’re branded as straight documentaries, but I think this is doing them a disservice. My first introduction to these films was during Covid, when the Kane Hodder led Balsam: A Paranormal Investigation was released.
