Art the Clown (David Howard Thornton) may still have one more New Year's Eve-themed rampage ahead of him, but Damien Leone is already looking beyond the killer clown that turned him into one of horror's biggest modern success stories. Following years of growing success with the Terrifier franchise, the filmmaker has officially lined up his next nightmare.

As much as summer is usually associated with beach trips, vacations, and blockbuster movies, it has increasingly become a season for horror fans as well. Between summer camp slashers, creature features, and the growing popularity of "Summerween," there is no shortage of spooky entertainment arriving long before Halloween. Animation has embraced that trend too, with more family-friendly series finding ways to blend supernatural thrills with comedy and coming-of-age storytelling.

Kingdom Hearts fans have become experts at surviving on scraps. Since Kingdom Hearts 4 was announced in 2022, every screenshot, anniversary message, and cryptic social media post has been dissected for clues about where Sora's story is headed next. That long drought finally ended during today's Nintendo Direct, which featured a new trailer for Kingdom Hearts 4 and confirmed that the highly anticipated sequel is also headed to Nintendo Switch 2 alongside PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has produced no shortage of memorable quotes over the years, yet nearly a decade after Spider-Man: Homecoming arrived in theaters, one line still stands above almost everything else the franchise has produced because of how perfectly it captures the essence of heroism. The quote comes during one of the movie's most important scenes. After Peter Parker (Tom Holland) recklessly endangers countless lives while trying to stop Adrian Toomes (Michael Keaton), Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) finally loses patience and takes back the high-tech Spider-Man suit he provided.

The Marvel Universe is packed with legendary heroes, but some of its most memorable characters have spent decades causing problems for them. From world-conquering masterminds to street-level criminal organizations, villains have always been a crucial part of Marvel's storytelling. Now, one of the publisher's most unusual teams is making the jump to Magic: The Gathering.

Road trip comedies work best when they fully embrace bad decisions, and there are countless examples. The entire genre usually depends on characters making increasingly reckless choices while chasing some wildly unrealistic dream, and the more sincere those characters are about the journey, the funnier the surrounding chaos becomes. Music-driven coming-of-age stories especially thrive on that energy because teenage ambition and absolute overconfidence tend to create disasters almost immediately.

This article includes spoilers for 'Masters of the Universe'.The smartest thing Masters of the Universe does with She-Ra is keep her out of the movie. That might sound strange considering the character's importance to the franchise, but Adora deserves far more than a quick cameo or a last-minute appearance during the final battle. Adora is one of the most important figures in the entire mythology, with decades of stories, relationships, and worldbuilding attached to her name. That's exactly why the movie's post-credits scene works so well.

The future of Baldur's Gate remains one of the biggest unanswered questions in gaming. While Larian Studios has moved on from the franchise after Baldur's Gate 3, Wizards of the Coast has shown no signs of leaving the Forgotten Realms behind. Earlier this year, it was announced that HBO is developing a live-action television adaptation continuing the story of Baldur's Gate 3, and Penguin Random House has also begun expanding the setting through a new line of books, including an upcoming story centered on fan-favorite companion Astarion. Taken together, the moves suggest Wizards sees Baldur's Gate as more than a successful video game series.

Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid) has always loved being the center of attention. Whether he's dazzling audiences in New Orleans, provoking Louis (Jacob Anderson) into another argument, or turning an interview into a spectacle, subtlety has never exactly been his strongest quality. That tendency is on full display in Interview With the Vampire Season 3 — now titled, The Vampire Lestat — which finds the legendary vampire embracing life as a rock star in front of adoring crowds. The season premiere made it clear that Lestat is done hiding in the shadows, and the world seems more than willing to watch. Not everyone is paying attention to the man on stage, though.

Summer camp season is almost here, and Netflix is about to make the journey to Camp Half-Blood a lot easier. Beginning June 15, both Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief and Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters will be available to stream on the platform, giving fans a chance to revisit one of the most imaginative fantasy worlds of the 2010s. The Percy Jackson movies have always occupied a somewhat unusual place in fantasy fandom. Readers of Rick Riordan's beloved novels have spent years debating the movies' changes to the source material, while the recent Disney+ adaptation has introduced a new generation of viewers to the son of Poseidon and his fellow demigods with a more faithful take on the books.

Ever since the original Kingdom Hearts released in 2002, one of the biggest draws of the series has been discovering which Disney worlds Sora will visit next, and the results have been varying from the inevitable to out of left field. While a recent trailer for Kingdom Hearts 4 has given fans a better look at Quadratum and the game's more realistic direction, Square Enix remains tight-lipped about which Disney properties will make the final cut. Since Kingdom Hearts 3's 2019 release, Disney's catalog has only continued to grow, while decades of beloved movies, television series, and theme park attractions remain untouched by the franchise. That leaves no shortage of possibilities for where the beloved trio of Sora, Donald, and Goofy could travel next.
