Hulu is definitely one of the most underrated streaming services out there as it is one of the biggest streaming services in the world but it doesn’t have as much flashy content as its other counterparts like Netflix or Prime Video. If you are a horror fan, then you will find many great shows, including the long-running anthology horror series American Horror Story. So, here are the best horror shows you should check out right now.

Grotesquerie Credit – FX

Grotesquerie is a crime thriller horror drama series created by Ryan Murphy, Jon Robin Baitz, and Joe Baken. The FX series follows Detective Lois Tryon as she teams up with Sister Megan, a local nun, to investigate the mystery behind a heinous crime that is affecting their community and their personal lives. Grotesquerie stars Niecy Nash-Betts, Courtney B. Vance,...

Dozens of Stephen King's literary works have received movie and TV adaptations, but modern horror master Mike Flanagan (The Haunting of Hill House) recently highlighted an oft-overlooked adaptation that definitely deserves more attention in Christine. King has produced well over 100 novels, collections, screenplays, and other assorted works, and some have been adapted into all-time great movies, like The Shawshank Redemption or The Green Mile. Others have been complete misfires, like Silver Bullet or Firestarter. Still others have been reappraised recently and are evolving into cult classics.

Mike Flanagan recently spoke about King's most underrated adaptations, and highlighted four very specific choices, some of which make more sense than others. Flanagan's opinion on the matter certainly means something, given that he has produced some incredible King adaptations himself, including Doctor Sleep, Gerald's Game, and the upcoming Life of Chuck. Of the four choices he gave, one really stands out as...

The career of genre filmmaker Mike Flanagan is strongly tied to the works of author Stephen King. Flanagan has directed film adaptations of the King novels Gerald’s Game and Doctor Sleep. He tried and failed to bring an adaptation of King’s Revival to the screen. His upcoming film The Life of Chuck is another King adaptation, he’s developing the author’s Dark Tower saga as a Prime Video series, and we recently heard that he’ll be turning Carrie into an eight episode Prime Video series. He knows his King – which is why Movieweb asked him to name some of the most underrated King adaptations. Flanagan gladly did, mentioning a few great ones.

When Movieweb asked which King adaptations he thinks are underrated, Flanagan answered, “You know what jumped immediately to my mind? The Night Flier with Miguel Ferrer is a really good movie that I don’t...

“The One with the Blackout,” the seventh episode of “Friends’” inaugural season, was notable for several reasons. It first introduced viewers to both the gang’s miserly broomstick-waving neighbor Mr. Heckles and Ross’ first rival for Rachel’s affections, Italian stallion Paolo. It apparently added the term ‘friend zone’ to the English lexicon as a result. And, as its title suggests, it formed part of an ingenious marketing strategy in which three NBC sitcoms were deliberately plunged into darkness.

Celebrating its 30th anniversary this month (November 3), Blackout Thursday was the brainwave of Dan Holm, a promotional producer also responsible for the term ‘Must See TV.’ Alongside the comedy that would prove to be the network’s most successful, the programming stunt also included one of the many forgettable one-seasoners that failed to ride its coattails, the Dabney Coleman-starring “Madman of the People,” and the 12-time Emmy-winning “Mad About You.

‘Tis the season for binge-watching Stephen King adaptations.

The King of Horror has as many horror adaptations floating around out there as he does books with his name on them. Watching a horror flick based on King’s work is a yearlong delight but getting through a bunch of them during the Halloween season just hits different.

With all the streaming services available today of course there isn’t a one stop shop for all of these adaptations, but we’ve rounded up a checklist of which films are available at the major streamers. Go hunting for the perfect King horror film for your mood or just start working your way through them all.

From “Misery” and “Salem’s Lot” to shows like “The Outsider” and “Under the Dome,” here are over 50 Stephen King horror adaptations and where to stream them.

Kate Siegel reveals she is teaming with Stephen King to direct a short film he is writing following her directorial debut in V/H/S: Beyond. The short will be part of Siegel's teaming with multiple female filmmakers to produce horror shorts on YouTube, though remains mum on who the other filmmakers are. Between her extensive horror genre history and frequent collaborations with acclaimed writer/director Mike Flanagan, Siegel is perfect for a collaboration with King.

Having recently made her directorial debut with a celebrated anthology franchise, Kate Siegel is already eyeing her next project in the director's chair with a Stephen King short film. Siegel is best known for her frequent collaborations with her husband Mike Flanagan, beginning with his breakout 2013 hit Oculus, before eventually holding leading roles in The Haunting of Hill House, Midnight Mass and The Fall of the House of Usher's cast, among others.

There have been many Stephen King movies on the big screen, but if you ask the master of horror himself, he thinks TV is a better medium for his work — specifically the TV miniseries. "I think my novels are much better suited for miniseries presentations," he says in the book "Hollywood's Stephen King." There have been a handful of King miniseries over the years — before "It" became two blockbuster movies, it was a beloved (and scary) miniseries starring Tim Curry. There was also "The Tommyknockers," "The Langoliers," and of course, Tobe Hooper's "Salem's Lot." These miniseries are all adaptations of King's pre-existing work, but in 1999, King tried something different: an original miniseries he wrote from scratch.

In 1997, King finally got a chance to adapt "The Shining" his way. The author spent decades complaining about Stanley Kubrick's acclaimed adaptation of his haunted hotel novel, and then ABC came along...

There have been Stephen King movies for almost as long as there have been Stephen King books. King's first novel "Carrie" arrived in 1974, and by 1976, a "Carrie" movie was burning up movie screens. King was still relatively obscure at the time, but as his publishing career continued, he became a household name. He also became a recognizable figure, thanks to public appearances on talk shows, TV commercials, and of course, cameos in movies. King's very first cameo appearance was in George A. Romero's "Knightriders," a movie about a ren faire where people joust on motorcycles instead of horses. In that film, King plays a character named Hoagie Man, who can be seen eating a hoagie in a rather disgusting fashion.

After that, King had a surprisingly large role in Romero's horror anthology film "Creepshow," which King wrote the screenplay for. There, he plays Jordy Verrill, a hick farmer who...

The Stephen King TV adaptations of the 90s have their legion of fans despite the varying qualities. The most famous mini-series of the bunch is the 1990 adaptation of It with Tim Curry in one of his many cultural defining roles as Pennywise. Many other adaptations include Storm of the Century and The Langoliers. One of the adaptations that has a cult following is the TV adaptation of The Stand from 1994. Blu-ray.com has recently reported that Paramount Home Media Distribution will celebrate the 30th anniversary of Mick Garris’ The Stand with a Limited SteelBook edition of the film, which is set to be sold exclusively at Walmart on September 24.

The description reads,

“In Stephen King’s epic vision of an apocalyptic future, the few survivors of a plague-ravaged world must choose sides in the ultimate battle of good vs. evil that will decide the fate of humanity. As the followers...

Special features include: new commentaries by Perkins and horror historian Rebekah McKendry; a new interview with production designer Jeremy Reed; and four features: Storybook,...

King's favorite TV work of his is the 1999 miniseries Storm of the Century, which he specifically wrote for television. Storm of the Century is praised for its terrifying villain, unpredictable story, and isolated island setting. Despite not being based on a King novel, the miniseries is lauded for its fear-driven plot and impressive storytelling.

Stephen King has many works that have become TV shows, but his favorite is one that aired 25 years ago - and isn't based on any of his existing novels. The prolific horror author has had many of his works adapted into TV series, giving the original works plenty of room to develop over time. This includes classics like the 1990 miniseries adaptation of It, and an upcoming The Dark Tower show, based on King's series of the same name.

However, the horror icon has also been involved in works that are not directly based on his novels.

Nearly three decades ago, Stephen King stumbled upon a copy of Lars von Trier‘s Danish miniseries The Kingdom in a dusty Colorado video store. Roughly seven years later, ABC premiered Kingdom Hospital, the author’s own take on von Trier’s haunted hospital. While conceived as a miniseries, King was so excited about the project — developed alongside his Storm of the Century and Rose Red collaborators — that he was ready to start work on a second season. The series premiered strong, but ratings dwindled and ABC pulled the plug just months later.

Join The Losers’ Club as they unpack both the 13-episode series and King’s candid thoughts about the adaptation and its swift cancellation, which he detailed in a 2004 EW column. Was it ahead of its time? Are the Twin Peaks comparisons warranted? And just how much did it inspire season 2 of American Horror Story? These questions and...

Steven Spielberg and Stephen King. Two artists at the very top of their fields. King: one of the best-selling authors of all time. Spielberg: the filmmaker who invented the blockbuster. How have these guys never worked together? Well, it's not for lack of trying. In fact, these titans have come very close to teaming up on several occasions. When Spielberg was writing "Poltergeist," he wanted King's help with the script. "It didn't work out because it was before the internet and we had a communication breakdown," King told EW.

Then there was "The Talisman," the fantasy novel King co-wrote with the late Peter Straub. Before the book even hit the shelves, Spielberg scooped up the rights — but neither a film nor a TV adaptation has ever materialized. "Several times he came very close to making it, and there were a lot of discussions about that," King said. It was...

When the temperature drops, the terror rises! Welcome to our frosty foray into the world of winter horror movies, where the snow isn’t just pretty – it’s petrifying. Forget about cozying up by the fire; these horror movies set in the snow are designed to send chills down your spine. From isolated icy landscapes to snow-covered supernatural scares, these snowy horror movies will make you grateful for your warm, safe couch.

So, let’s dive into the blizzard of horror and explore the top 10 films where the weather outside isn’t just frightful, it’s downright deadly.

ABC 10. Storm of the Century (1999)

Stephen King’s Storm of the Century brings a bone-chilling blizzard to a quaint little island town, serving up a horrifying mix of supernatural elements and human frailty. The townsfolk face not just the relentless snowstorm but also a mysterious stranger with a dark agenda. This miniseries...

Stephen King expresses surprise at the dark content of his ABC miniseries Storm of the Century, highlighting how the show pushed the boundaries of broadcast TV. The miniseries features a villain named Andre who uses the dark secrets of the townspeople to cause chaos, creating multiple suicides and murders. The dark ending of the miniseries is reflective of King's other horror works, as the author wrote Storm of the Century for TV.

Horror author Stephen King has revealed something that surprised him about the production of his 1999 ABC miniseries Storm of the Century. The show depicts a winter storm on the fictional Little Tall Island, which brings with it a suspicious stranger named Andre Linoge. The newcomer seems to know the secrets of individuals on the island, which he uses to cause chaos. The series was a critical hit and is a well-remembered work by King.

Now, after promoting an article about the series,...

A new episode of the Revisited video series has just been released, and in this one we’re looking back at a movie that some may not consider to be a horror movie, but at the very least it is an “experimental psychological thriller” from a highly respected genre director. The director in question is David Lynch, and the movie we’re talking about today is the 2006 release Inland Empire (get it Here). To revisit Inland Empire with us, check out the video embedded above.

Written and directed by Lynch, Inland Empire tells the following story over the course of its 180 minute running time: Nikki, an actress, takes on a role in a new film, and because her husband is very jealous, her co-star Devon gets a warning not to make any romantic overtures — especially since the characters they play are having an affair. Both actors learn that the project...

A new episode of the Revisited video series has just been released, and in this one we’re looking back at the 1987 Sam Raimi classic Evil Dead II (watch it Here)! To revisit Evil Dead II with us, check out the video embedded above.

Directed by Raimi from a screenplay he crafted with Scott Spiegel, Evil Dead II has the following synopsis: After a relaxing cabin vacation doesn’t go as planned, Ash is left with three dead friends, an undead girlfriend and an angry evil spirit on the loose. As nightfall approaches, Ash must prepare to again battle the legions of the damned if he wants to make it to dawn.

The film stars Bruce Campbell, Sarah Berry, Danny Hicks, Kassie Wesley, Richard Domeier, Denise Bixler, John Peaks, Lou Hancock, William Preston Robertson, and Ted Raimi.

The Evil Dead II episode of Revisited was Written, Narrated, and Edited by Lance Vlcek,...

A new episode of the Revisited video series went online over the weekend, and with this one we took a look back at one of the most highly regarded horror movies ever made, the 1973 classic The Exorcist (watch it Here)! To find out what we had to say about The Exorcist, check out the video embedded above.

Based on a novel by William Peter Blatty (pick up a copy Here), who also wrote the screenplay, The Exorcist was directed by William Friedkin and tells the following story: One of the most profitable horror movies ever made, this tale of an exorcism is based loosely on actual events. When young Regan starts acting odd — levitating, speaking in tongues — her worried mother seeks medical help, only to hit a dead end. A local priest, however, thinks the girl may be seized by the devil. The priest makes a request to perform an exorcism,...

Not many horror films truly scare me these days. But alien horror? Even the ones substandard to most send me into a fear frenzy. That’s why I’m taking a deep dive into the sub-genre.

Welcome to Aliens Scare Me. A look into alien horror films on a case by case basis.

This month we’re probing deep into action/sci-fi territory with 1990’s Dark Angel; or depending on where you find it, I Come In Peace, starring the great Dolph Lundgren.

What It’s About

Rogue cop Jack Caine (Lundgren) has his partner killed by a gang of old white men called “The White Boys” (dead serious) who are subsequently murdered by a mysterious force using what appears to be a CD Rom disc as a weapon (still serious). While investigating, Jack and his new partner by force, Special Agent Arwood (Brian Benben), come across an gigantic alien...

A new episode of the Revisited video series has just arrived online, and in this one we’re looking back at one of my personal all-time favorite movies, the 1990 creature feature Tremors (watch it Here)! To find out what we had to say about Tremors, check out the video embedded above.

Directed by Ron Underwood from a screenplay by Brent Maddock and S. S. Wilson (who also share story credit with Underwood), Tremors has the following synopsis: Handymen Val McKee and Earl Bassett are tired of their dull lives in the small desert town of Perfection, Nevada. But just as the two try to skip town, they happen upon a series of mysterious deaths and a concerned seismologist studying unnatural readings below the ground. With the help of an eccentric couple, the group fights for survival against giant, worm-like monsters hungry for human flesh.

The film stars Kevin Bacon, Fred Ward,...

A new episode of the Revisited video series has just arrived online, and in this one we’re looking back at a classic from the 1980s: the horror thriller The Hitcher (watch it Here), which was released back in ’86. To find out what we had to say about The Hitcher, check out the video embedded above.

Directed by Robert Harmon from a screenplay by Eric Red, The Hitcher has the following synopsis: While transporting a car from Chicago to San Diego, Jim Halsey picks up a hitchhiker named John Ryder, who claims to be a serial killer. After a daring escape, Jim hopes to never see Ryder again. But when he witnesses the hitchhiker murdering an entire family, Jim pursues Ryder with the help of truck-stop waitress Nash, pitting the rivals against each other in a deadly series of car chases and brutal murders.

The film stars C. Thomas Howell,...

Just a couple days ago, DC Studios head James Gunn announced that a Swamp Thing movie will be part of the first slate of DC films he will be producing as he reboots the DC Universe. Yesterday, we heard that Logan director James Mangold is in early talks to direct the Swamp Thing movie. So today seemed like the perfect time to release a new episode in the Revisited video series that looks back at the 1982 film adaptation of Swamp Thing (watch it Here). To find out all about the version of Swamp Thing that reached theatres over forty years ago, check out the video embedded above.

The 1982 Swamp Thing was written and directed by legendary genre filmmaker Wes Craven. His film has the following synopsis: Deep in Florida’s darkest everglades, a brilliant scientist, Dr. Alec Holland, and a sexy government agent, Alice Cable, have developed a secret formula...

When the idea for this feature was first proposed, the angle was “Stephen King stories set at Christmas.” Much to my surprise, however, and despite our best efforts, we were not able to find a story by the master that was set specifically during the holidays or that pertained to them in some meaningful way. Given the breadth of King’s prose, this absence is surprising. It also begged a new question: What, then, are his best stories set in winter? It’s perhaps telling how quickly the choices multiplied. More than a few of King’s best-known tales take place during the coldest part of the year, and a few lesser-known tales benefit greatly from having the same backdrop.

We’re not parsing whether they’re short stories, novels, TV productions, or movies—we’ll discuss the story in whatever medium (or media) it’s appeared in—and we’ve left out a couple,...

It’s time for a new episode of the Revisited video series, and with this one we’re looking back at a TV movie that started a franchise, 1972’s The Night Stalker ((pick up a copy Here)! The Night Stalker was followed by a sequel called The Night Strangler, and then a twenty episode season of a TV series called Kolchak: The Night Stalker. A show that served as inspiration for The X-Files and received a short-lived remake series called Night Stalker in the early 2000s. To find out all about The Night Stalker, check out the video embedded above!

Directed by John Llewellyn Moxey from a teleplay by Richard Matheson, which was based on a novel by Jeff Rice, The Night Stalker has the following synopsis:

After several high-profile newspapers fire him for his difficult attitude, investigative journalist Carl Kolchak finds a job following the police beat for a small Las Vegas publication.

A new episode of the Revisited video series has just been released, and while all of the previous entries have been a look back at feature films, this episode does something a little different. This one is looking back at the three-part mini-series Storm of the Century (pick up a copy Here), which aired on ABC back in February of 1999. To find out all about Storm of the Century, check out the video embedded above.

The mini-series was written by Stephen King, and this wasn’t an adaptation of any of King’s previous works. He wrote this one specifically to be a TV mini-series. Directed by Craig R. Baxley, the mini-series has the following synopsis:

A dangerous blizzard hits an isolated town and brings along a mysterious stranger intent on terrorizing people for his own desires.

Tim Daly, Debrah Farentino, Dyllan Christopher, Colm Feore, Jeffrey DeMunn, Nada Despotovich, Spencer Breslin,...

"Poltergeist" is a cinematic Rorschach test. Which scene was scarier, the maggoty meat or the evil clown doll? What does the film say about the values of 1980s American suburbia? Most importantly of all, did Tobe Hooper direct the film, or did producer Steven Spielberg do it on the sly? Director Mick Garris insists it was Hooper, but "Poltergeist" camera assistant John R. Leonetti says Spielberg. Film critic Scout Tafoya claims in "Cinemaphagy," his book covering Hooper's film career, that "Poltergeist" is Hooper's movie but has some distinctly Speilbergian touches.

There is another "Poltergeist" that never quite came into being. Early in the film's production, Spielberg decided that he needed help writing the script. In search of a horror expert, he turned to Stephen King, whose works at the time were tearing up the country's bestseller charts. King was away at the time, and by the time he returned, Spielberg had moved on.

With two adaptations already under his belt, Mike Flanagan has made no secret of his love of Stephen King's work. Both "Gerald's Game" and "Doctor Sleep" show that he can handle King's complex characters with ease, but the Master of Horror's influence on the filmmaker doesn't stop with Flanagan's direct King adaptations.

The writer/director's Netflix series "Midnight Mass" is a story set on a small coastal island that is visited by a strange being with supernatural powers, and it's up to the town's sheriff, who works out of the community's sole grocery store, and a handful of islanders to stand up to this menace. 

In "Storm of the Century," a 1999 original miniseries penned by King, a strange being with supernatural powers appears on a small, coastal island, and it's up to the town's sheriff, who works out of the community's sole grocery store, and a handful of islanders...

After chilling us to our cores with The Haunting of Hill House and shattering our hearts with the The Haunting of Bly Manor finale, Netflix has returned with another horror mystery series that's set out to do both. Directed and executive produced by Hill House creator Mike Flanagan, Midnight Mass explores the supernatural happenings of Crockett Island and its residents who may be more of a danger to each other than the ghosts lurking in the shadows. As a storm brews and dark forces convene on the island, no one is safe. Here's what we know about the seven-episode limited series so far.

What Is Midnight Mass About?

Visually reminiscent of Stephen King's Storm of the Century, the drama horror series tells the story of a small, isolated island community plagued by darkness. Filled with secrets and social turmoil, the relationships between the townspeople become more...

It feels like you can barely turn around these days without bumping into an adaptation of a Stephen King story, with the prolific author’s back catalogue having proven to be incredibly fertile ground for film and television projects over the last four decades. There are currently fourteen movies and six shows in development based on his novels and short stories, with The Outsider and The Stand both debuting this year.

Given the sheer volume of page-to-screen works based on the 73 year-old’s output, then, it isn’t surprising that the quality has varied wildly from undisputed classics like The Shining, The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile to the tedious Dreamcatcher and The Dark Tower, with The Stand currently receiving tepid reviews after premiering on CBS a couple of weeks ago.

King isn’t always the biggest fan of seeing his words ripped from the page and transplanted onto...

Long live Empire Pictures; sure, they shone briefly in the ‘80s before bankruptcy and a rebirth as Full Moon, but there was some real talent and joy in a lot of those films – case in point: Cellar Dweller (1988), a straight up monster movie with no pretense beyond gore and gratuitous nudity in a tidy 78 minute package.

Take out the credits and you’re left with around 70 minutes; certainly not unusual in Band’s world, as a lot of the films he turned out were done on the cheap and very quickly. But occasionally a real talent would stop by (Stuart Gordon comes to mind) and stretch the limited resources into something worth a look or two. Enter John Carl Buechler, the late, lamented, legendary fx artist and burgeoning director (Troll) who, in pure Band style, had to film this in 10 days with very little money and a severely truncated schedule.

As long promised, Wednesday’s Empire season finale revealed the identity of the mysterious corpse in that highly-promoted coffin. But, in a bait-and-switchy curveball, it was not the individual who entered the episode knocking on death’s door (we’re looking at you, “terminally ill” Andre).

Turns out it is Lucious’ other son — newly discovered bastard child Jeff Kingsley — who ends up six feet under. Tormented over being marginalized by his new fam, Kingsley shoots himself in the head in front of his formerly estranged pa. But in a twist of fate that would be deemed remarkable in the real world,...

There's another Stephen King movie on the way! His novella, The Gingerbread Girl, is the latest story of his to get picked up for a feature film adaptation. The rights to the story were snatched up by Brainstorm Media.

The Gingerbread Girl was originally published in Esquire magazine and was later included in King’s 2008 collection of stories Just After Sunset.

For those of you not familiar with the story, it focuses on a woman named Emily, who is "recovering from a recent loss in a secluded house in the loneliest stretch of New England. She avoids contact with her husband and her father and channels her grief into a grueling daily running regimen. This is doing her all kinds of good, until one day she makes the mistake of looking into the driveway of a man named Pickering. Pickering also enjoys privacy, but the young women he brings to...

The 71st annual Cannes Film Festival commenced earlier this week, and having already sold a piece of his oeuvre during the festivities, another Stephen King short story has officially gone off the market, The Gingerbread Girl.

Earlier this week, Netflix closed a deal for In the Tall Grass, a novella written by King and his son, fellow bestselling horror author, Joe Hill. Today, Deadline is reporting that The Gingerbread Girl, which was originally published in Esquire magazine, has been optioned by Us production and distribution company, Brainstorm Media.

Frequent collaborator, Craig R. Baxley, who has helmed several other King adaptations, including Storm of the Century (1999), Kingdom Hospital (2004) and Rose Red (2002), will direct the film from a screenplay written by both he and the author.

In a secluded house on the loneliest stretch of New England, The Gingerbread Girl focuses on Emily, a woman who takes up running as a way...

Stephen King’s novella The Gingerbread Girl has been optioned by U.S. production and distribution outfit Brainstorm Media, which plans to distribute the film in North America. Mimi Steinbauer’s Radiant Films International is launching foreign sales efforts on the thriller in Cannes.

Frequent King collaborator Craig R. Baxley will direct the film from a screenplay written by King and Baxley. Mitchell Galin will produce. Casting is currently underway.

Baxley has previously directed the King adaptations Storm of the Century, The Triangle, Kingdom Hospital and Rose Red, while Galin produced the adaptations of King’s Pet Sematary, The Stand, Thinner, The Night Flier, Creepshow 2, The Langoliers and Golden Years.

The Gingerbread Girl originally appeared in Esquire magazine, and was later included in King’s 2008 collection of stories Just After Sunset. The story focuses on Emily, a woman recovering from a recent loss in a secluded house in the loneliest stretch of New England.

Brainstorm Media is getting into the Stephen King business, and has optioned the author’s 2007 novella “The Gingerbread Girl” for film. Brainstorm will handle U.S. and Canadian distribution.

King is set to co-write the script with frequent collaborator Craig R. Baxley, who will also direct. Baxley previously directed television adaptations of King’s novels “Storm of the Century,” “The Triangle,” “Kingdom Hospital,” and “Rose Red.” Casting for “The Gingerbread Girl” is currently underway.

Mitchell Galin will produce “The Gingerbread Girl,” having previously produced adaptations of King’s “Pet Sematary,” “The Stand,” “Thinner,” “The Night Flier,” “The Langoliers,” and “Golden Years.”...

With the massive success of Andy Muschietti’s adaptation of It, the newly-released Gerald’s Game and the upcoming adaptation of 1922 hitting Netflix later this month, it is time to give some love to another Stephen King film that often goes overlooked. Originally broadcast in 1999 and directed by Craig R. Baxley, Storm of the Century […]...

Well, seven hells. It has been 10 months since Jon Snow died in the "Game of Thrones" Season 5 finale, but our watch has not ended. Thanks to "The Red Woman" -- the title of the surprising, but not completely satisfying Season 6 premiere -- it has only just begun. As of now, the late Lord Commander is still a Weekend at Bernie's corpse being protected by his friends. (Bless you, Ser Davos.) But the episode ended with Melisandre stripping (again), poised for some kind of action. However, is that action ending her own life? Or does she do that little necklace removal ritual every night before bed?

We learned a lot more about The Red Woman this hour. As it happens, she's not quite as hot as she seems. And she's older than she looks. (Maybe it's Maybelline?)

Scott, 81, ceded weather report duties to Al Roker in the 1990s but still went on air for his famous segment celebrating viewers' 100th birthdays with Smucker's jelly. He also played Ronald McDonald in the fast food chain's commercials throughout the '60s.

But the newscaster's most memorable moment came in 1989, when he was reporting on President George H. W. Bush's inaugural parade and first lady Barbara Bush broke away from her husband to give Scott a smooch.

If you are kind, magic can happen.

That's the lesson behind Three Magic Balloons, a new children's book based on a story that Julianna Margulies' dad, Paul, wrote for her and her two sisters when they were young.

"He was a special guy, and it feels good to be able to put something out into the world that he wrote," says the actress of her father, who died in October 2014 at the age of 79. "It's a very loving, sweet story, and it's just about giving."

New York City is the epicenter of almost all national television media: ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, Fox News, Fox Business, CNN, CNBC, MSNBC, Ajam, Bloomberg, etc, not to mention a majority of major print and online publications. Los Angeles is the City of Angels. Philadelphia--some Flyers and Eagles fans notwithstanding--is the City of Brotherly Love. New York is the City of Media. So when the Storm of the Century is bearing down on said city, you can bet that the pre-game show leading up to the big event is going to be almost as big as the event itself. But upon waking up this morning and expecting no power and two feet of drifting snow outside the window here in North Jersey, the scene wasn't any different than the aftermath of an average storm that hit here 72 hours earlier. All told, that storm left about seven inches and didn't affect...
