A long time ago, David Fincher was in the running to direct The Force Awakens, a job that eventually went to JJ Abrams. As it turns out, Fincher avoided the galaxy far, far away for a good reason.

You've seen the horror heavy-hitters, like Halloween, The Shining, and The Exorcist. You've also seen the most-beloved cult horror flicks, like Evil Dead 2 and Re-Animator. Now, peel away one more layer and unearth some obscure horror gems that are primed to infect your nightmares with fresh terrors.

Earlier this year a lone Ghost Ship haunted Sydney harbour. An aquatic wraith of doom. A visual feast sent to turn our blood as ice-cold as the murky waters it sailed upon.

Well, not really. It was an illusion. But one so cool that we created a video to explore the tech behind the magic.

The brand, shiny new powered-by-Roku Telstra TV is here (well, on October 31, anyway) - combining subscription TV and on-demand streaming with free-to-air, which we all definitely still watch.

Telstra is boasting the upgraded device (which will cost $192 outright or with the $99 bundle like it's predecessor), will be the country's very first live TV, catch-up and on-demand search function.

On an episode of Pawn Stars, which airs on the History Channel for some reason, the starring pawn proprietors got a chance to check out some amazing pieces from the 1978 Superman film. But they weren't all that impressed.

When Jodie Whitaker's take on the Doctor begins her time-travelling adventures next year, she'll be surrounded by a lot of new faces. Meet the three newest regulars in the Doctor Who cast.

There is no torture quite as horrible as having to deal with the sociopaths on public transportation who seem to have no idea how to exist in the world without taking up too much space. Manspreaders on the bus, people who stand too close on the subway, and those who block doorways all deserve extensive gaol time.

Next time on The Walking Dead: cookies. Delicious, delicious cookies. Sesame Street, over its decades of existence, has always had a knack for pop culture parody.

Remember Last Action Hero, Arnold Schwarzenegger's 1993 heavily meta action comedy with a frenetic, Shane Black sensibility to it? Though it's reached cult status in the years since, it didn't do too hot upon initial release. And over twenty years later, its star has a theory about why.

Cementing his role as one of the most fun, charismatic directors working right now, Taika Waititi took to YouTube to respond to some absurd, combative internet comments. After watching Waititi for a couple of minutes, it's easy to see where Thor: Ragnarok's anarchic humour comes from.

There was a time when the Godzilla, King Kong and Pacific Rim movies all shared the same home. A time when a crossover between those three worlds didn't just seem probable, it seemed inevitable. That time has since passed -- but the director of the upcoming Pacific Rim Uprising doesn't want to dash all hopes and dreams just yet.

At New York Comic Con, during the Star Trek: Discovery panel, Alex Kurtzman said something that I've been thinking about a lot. He said that you couldn't do "City on the Edge of Forever" now, because Kirk would have to spend a whole season mourning Edith Keeler.

The movie based on King's The Dark Tower novel series did not do well. It did not do well at all. Also, it was pretty bad. But the TV series maybe, maybe has a chance at seeing the light of day. If it happens, though, it won't be following up on the movie.

Star Wars has droids for everything: translation, repairs, services, what have you -- but, apparently, those droids do much more than we ever thought. In issue #20 of the Marvel's Poe Dameron comic, it was revealed that BB-8 has some kind of love interest. No. Really.

Everyone's reaction when the first picture of David Harbour in full Hellboy makeup hit the internet was that he looked almost exactly like Ron Perlman's iconic, extremely on-point version of the character. Harbour has no trouble looking the part, but what will really distinguish his take on Hellboy is his performance.

The most recent Arrow ended with a major sea change for the team. The problem is, it's a change that clearly exists for little more than a moment of shock. The real question isn't how this will all effect Arrow going forward. -- it's more about how long Arrow thinks it will be able to keep it up. Spoilers ahead!

I like Jeph Loeb. Nice guy. Knows how to work up a crowd and you can tell that he truly loves working as the head of Marvel's television arm and will defend it to the death. But when Loeb was recently pressed about some of Marvel TV's... weaker elements, he balked and gave one of the most ridiculous answers possible.

Last night, it came to the internet's attention that at 8:23pm, someone on Capitol Hill was hard at work editing the Wikipedia entry about lightsabers. This would be a totally understandable use of a congressperson or staffer's time were it not for the fact that they were spreading lies.

In Norse Mythology, Ragnarök – the twilight of the Gods – isn’t the end of all things, but rather, a chance for the world to begin anew. It’s an apt title for Taika Waititi’s Thor: Ragnarok, which takes the director’s boisterous energy and invigorates one of Marvel’s weakest franchises.
