Universal TV continues to develop a 'reimagining' of the 1969 Rod Sterling horror/supernatural anthology TV series "Night Gallery", from Jeff Davis ("Teen Wolf") and Universal Cable Productions:
"...the new series will explore the dangers of social media and modern nightmares in the digital age..."
The original "Night Gallery" aired 1969-1973, featuring stories of horror and the macabre, with Rod Serling of "Twilight Zone" fame as both on-air host and major contributor of scripts.
Serling appeared in an art gallery setting and introduced the macabre tales that made up each episode by unveiling paintings that depicted the stories. His intro usually was:
"Good evening, and welcome to a private showing of three paintings, displayed here for the first time.
"Each is a collector's item in its own way—not because of any special artistic quality, but because each captures on a canvas, suspended in time and space, a frozen moment of a nightmare.

This episode of the Horror TV Shows We Miss video series was Written and Narrated by Niki Minter, Edited by Adam Walton, Produced by John Fallon, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.
The Chiller Channel was a huge gateway for me. I had been exposed to whatever my mom watched previous to that, or whatever weird shit I found at 2Am… it’s more than you think. Chiller brought me the things I missed out on when they originally aired. One of those is Night Visions.
Night Visions originally aired in 2001, though it was meant to air the year prior, but one of our previous series, Freakylinks took its place. I’m not upset about this– Freakylinks was the series we deserved. Then on July 6th, 2001, brooding punk poet and man of many black tees, Henry Rollins entered our homes through the small screen. He’d probably give me shit for using the word brooding.

Comic books tend to favor tightly paced stories with striking visuals and a brief page count, so it makes sense that horror anthologies used to be all the rage in the funny pages before the Comics Code Authority brought an entire artform to its knees. However, while superheroes have since dominated the industry with their (mostly) family-friendly conflicts, there are still a handful of brave indie publishers that insist on putting out edgy media for those with a taste for the macabre.
One example of these persistent entrepreneurs is Blind Cyclops Books, a relatively new Chicago-based publishing house that specializes in dark literature. Their most recent foray into graphic novels comes in the form of Godfly, a self-proclaimed tale of true horror written by Ryan Oliver (founder of Bcb) and drawn by Jeff Kuhnie.
Set in the 1940s and more than a little inspired by the speculative works of Ray Bradbury and Rod Sterling,...

Hopeless romantics always run the risk of tarnishing their favorite things with the memories of relationships that didn’t exactly work out for them. In the video for his latest Let’s Start Here single “Say Something,” Lil Yachty learns this the hard way after he jumps the gun on a date and says “I love you” to a girl he’s known for two weeks.
“Mm, mm, don’t ever in your life say that to me again,” she responds. “That shit just made me itch. What are you talking about,...

Steven Spielberg has directed some of the biggest movies of all time, but could he turn his eye to television in the not-too-distant future? While speaking on the Smartless podcast (via The Playlist), Steven Spielberg said that he would like to direct a TV series.
“I do have an appetite for long-form, and someday, I will direct a long-form series,” Steven Spielberg said. “I mean, if someone would have brought me Mare of Easttown, I would have done that. That was a beautifully directed story.” The director added that he was close to expanding his Abraham Lincoln movie starring Daniel Day-Lewis into a six-hour series for HBO. “I was willing to do Lincoln as a six-hour [show] because I couldn’t raise all the financing for it. No one believed in it…I went around town and everyone turned me down,” Spielberg said. “I was ready to make a deal with...

Another year has come and gone and you know what that means: it’s time to enter the Twilight Zone.
To celebrate the end of 2022 and the incoming arrival of 2023, television is once again playing host to an expansive marathon of Rod Sterling’s anthological classic The Twilight Zone. This year the festivities will once again play out on Syfy and will begin with “A Nice Place to Visit” on Saturday, Dec. 31 at 5 a.m. and conclude with “A World of Difference” on Monday, Jan. 2 at 11:30 p.m.
The New Year’s Eve Twilight Zone marathon is one of TV’s most consistent and perhaps least understood traditions. The yearly marathon has been taking place since at least 1980 but no one is quite sure who started it (regional TV stations New York’s Wpix or Los Angeles’ Ktla are the two best candidates) or when it even made the...

Ghosts, vampires, mummies and the Devil are not things you would necessarily associate with a show like Quantum Leap.
Yet the premise behind creator Donald P. Bellisario’s cult favorite was one that required Scott Bakula’s body-snatching protagonist, Dr. Sam Beckett, to wear many hats – and, in one instance, a set of fangs.
Having leapt through spacetime during an experiment gone awry, Sam spent the show’s 97-episode run inhabiting a wild array of characters, always with the aim of “putting right what once went wrong” and aided by Dean Stockwell’s Al, a hologram only Sam can see.
It was a setup that allowed Bellisario and the show’s writers to get creative and, every now and then, spring a supernatural surprise.
“The great thing about Quantum Leap was that every episode could be vastly different,” writer and producer Chris Ruppenthal told Den of Geek.

Rod Serling's classic sci-fi series "The Twilight Zone" is so legendary, its reputation has stood the test of not only time, but countless reboot series and a nightmarish movie adaptation. With Serling at the helm, the show that aired from 1959 to 1964 served as one of the foundational building blocks for humanistic science fiction as we know it today. Nothing that has come since can erase its importance, but a project Serling was working on shortly before its death still begs the question: in the dimension of imagination we call "The Twilight Zone," what would a Serling-made adaptation of the series look...

"The Twilight Zone" contains multitudes. Some episodes are famous for their twist endings ("To Serve Man"), others for their stark, unnerving horror ("It's a Good Life"). Some are sweet and sentimental ("The Night of the Meek"), while others are morality plays ("The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street"). Your choice of "Twilight Zone" episode is as good a litmus test as any for your artistic preferences. What scares you more: dummies, dolls or dinosaurs? Do you find sweet robot grandmothers adorable or overly saccharine? Do you gravitate toward acknowledged classics like "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet," or do you stump for underrated masterpieces like "The...

This Riverdale review contains spoilers
Riverdale Season 6 Episode 1
Last season, Riverdale jumped ahead in time to skip over the gang’s college and re-contextualize their relationships with each other. That, meshed with subplots about everything from Mothmen to murderous truckers to Mr. Lodge’s latest criminal scheme, resulted in the most uneven season of the series to date. In short order, the standard weirdness of Riverdale had become rote. Something massive had to change in order for the series to evolve. And so plans were hatched for a five-part season opening event called Rivervale.
Much like the current Doctor Who: Flux and The Flash: Armageddon, this miniseries aims to thrust the show into a bold new direction. We have now witnessed the first part of this experiment, and it’s clear that by breaking all of it’s own rules Riverdale, er, Rivervale has creatively reinvigorated itself.
And all it...
