William Friedkin's film The Exorcist terrified audiences upon its release in 1973. They fainted, vomited, and went into hysterics in the theaters. Some overwhelmed viewers left early, only to return the next day, buying another ticket to see if they could make it to the end. But the story behind The Exorcist is just as compelling as the story on th…

9d ago43:44

43:44

Robert Johnson didn’t just play the blues. He embodied them. He drank and womanized his way through the South, New York, and Chicago in the 1930s, until he finally met the devil at the crossroads for a little trade. So the legend goes, anyway. With the same soul he supposedly sold to the devil, Robert Johnson belted lightning blues that captured tr…

The Misfits were truly unique. Scary. Violent. Angry. Nihilistic. These words can easily describe not only their music, but also the band as people, particularly frontman Glenn Danzig.

A haunted library, a deadpan pitch to City Hall, and a marshmallow titan stomping through New York—our rewatch of Ghostbusters digs into why this blend of scares and snickers still hits.

Harry Houdini was the world's greatest escape artist and at the height of his powers was one of the world's most famous people.
