While ghosts by themselves are frightening, the idea that they can hurt the very people we love is several shades scarier. “The Conjuring” and “Insidious”—the two James Wan joints that have spun the two most successful and sophisticated supernatural horror franchises of the last decade—understood this timeless fear at a deep level. Through respective sequels and spin-offs that you probably have mixed up at least once, both of these collections handed us stories about loving but desperately trapped families, with only bad options to choose from in their ghost-infested lives.
Now “Insidious: The Red Door” revives the tale of one of these movie clans—the one haunted by a spooky form of sleepwalking starring the terrific “Scream King” Patrick Wilson, and not the other one that also stars the same Patrick Wilson—reuniting the Lamberts nearly a decade after the disturbing happenings of “Insidious: Chapter 2.” If you are...

Charlotte isn’t the same woman we first met in “Sex and the City.” According to “And Just Like That” star Kristin Davis, “she’s grown” in many ways. That includes sexually.
For Davis, it was important to showcase Charlotte’s more open views on sex from the start, including her sensually kissing Harry during Season 2’s opening montage. “I wanted to show that Charlotte has become grounded in her own sexuality, in her own body, through her relationship with Harry,” Davis told TheWrap.
“It’s a wonderful thing to have the right partner and flourish in your own sexuality. That helps you then with your daughters, you know what I’m saying? It’s like a domino effect,” Davis added.

"My Best Friend’s Exorcism is directed by Damon Thomas and written by Jenna Lamia from the book by Grady Hendrix (Satanic Panic). The film stars Elsie Fisher, Amiah Miller, Cathy Ang, Rachel Ogechi Kanu (Cheer for Your Life), and Christopher Lowell.
Surviving the teenage years isn’t easy, especially when you’re possessed by a demon. It’s 1988, and best friends Abby (Elsie Fisher) and Gretchen (Amiah Miller) are navigating boys, pop culture, and a paranormal force clinging to Gretchen like a pair of neon legwarmers. With assistance from overly confident mall exorcist Christian Lemon (Christopher Lowell), Abby is determined to compel the demon back to the pits of hell—if it doesn’t kill Gretchen first. At turns horrifying and hilarious, My Best Friend’s Exorcism pays homage to 1980s pop culture with a totally timeless tale of terror and true friendship. Based on Grady Hendrix’s best-selling novel."

John Corbett, who played one of the several boyfriends of Carrie Bradshaw through the original Sex And The City’s runtime, may be returning to the character Aidan Shaw in what was described as a “substantial arc” on the second season of And Just Like That...
